COVID-19 great for growing billionaire pockets

Thanks to COVID-19 shutdowns, America's middle class may be suffering -- American small business owners may be gasping for last breaths, limping on their last legs -- but the billionaire class is making out like a bandit.

Civil war looms, statistics and survey say

Almost a third of U.S. voters believe a civil war is on its way -- a bleak commentary on the growing tensions around the country due to coronavirus shutdowns and police policies that have manifested in destruction and defacement of historical monuments and memorials, anarchist takeovers of city streets and riotous uprisings.

Donald Trump to Michael Savage: ‘This will be rigged election’ if Dems have way

President Donald Trump told talk radio's Michael Savage that if Democrats have their way, the November election will be "rigged," and that it's up to courts and citizens to stave off leftist pressures for massive mail-in voting. Democrats have indeed been on a tear to use the coronavirus as justification for launching mail-in voting rights.

Doctors drop ball, prove why they’re untrustworthy on COVID-19

Apparently, doctors have dropped the ball. They've been so busily fighting COVID-19, and telling a nation, nay a world, how to best fight COVID-19, that they've taken their eyes off other diseases. And now children are dying, or predicted to die, because of their incompetence.

Trump haters stupidly seize on #RampGate as next drum to beat

The left wants to harp on President Donald Trump's physical fitness? Not Joe Biden's? Not Joe Biden in his basement, propped and steadied by God knows how many helpful hands beyond the camera lens as he stumbles and bumbles through one question after another? The left embarrasses itself.

People walk past street art that reads "Welcome to CHAZ," Thursday, June 11, 2020, inside what is being called the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" in Seattle. Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from the neighborhood, and protesters have created a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming.

Seattle anarchists and their lunatic fringe list of demands

These are not your peace-talking, peaceful-walking Martin Luther King, Jr., protesters. These are armed rebels, bent on toppling societal structures in order to usher in a new nation, one where chaos rules, lawlessness leads and anger feeds. And their list of demands only underscores their lunatic ways.

CNN's Chris Cuomo told The New York Times on July 5, 2017, that he is "comfortable going to work in Thunderdome every day," a reference to the 1985 movie "Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome," starring Mel Gibson. (Warner Bros.)

Seattle’s ‘autonomous zone’ is ‘Mad Max’ movie mayhem come alive

In the late 1970s, a series of action movies starring Mel Gibson showed what life in Australia would be like when the inmates, so to speak, take over the asylum and societal standards of behavior utterly collapse, and motorcycle gang members with zero moral bearings are unleashed on the public. That's Seattle, circa 2020.

Sen. Josh Hawley and his righteous stand for religious rights

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley petitioned the Justice Department to launch a civil rights investigation into governors who use the coronavirus as a lynchpin to keep worshippers home. In short, he wants to know: How come Black Lives Matter can fill the streets, but church-goers have to stay home? Good question.

God’s winnowing of America

Sane people are surveying America and wondering, what's happened to this country? Call this God's winnowing of America -- a time when He takes a look at His people, decides He doesn't like what He sees and allows for a time of great testing to separate the good from evil, the worthwhile from worthless, the usable from unusable.

Militarizing police was a mistake

Peer past the madness of Antifa thuggery and all the bricks being thrown through storefront windows right now and the fact is police have needed reform for some time. Even from a very pro-police, pro-law and order perspective, the fact is: Police have most definitely needed reform.

Socialists, with George Floyd, get their anti-police wedge

George Floyd isn't just a black man who tragically died at the hands of a white police officer. He's become the tool by which socialists, communists, anarchists can topple our nation's police forces, thereby toppling our nation's system of law and order.

Democrats know their time grows short

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., in a recent interview, said Democrats are making it easy for GOP-ers this November -- that a conservative sweep, due to COVID-19 crackdown madness and George Floyd-inspired out-of-control rioting, is in the works and too bad, so sad, but that's the way the liberal cookie crumbles. He's right.

Democrats, party of lawlessness, press to collapse police

Eighteen state attorneys general -- Democrats, of course -- have petitioned Congress for "explicit authority" to investigate local police departments for evidence of abusive and unconstitutional action. Mark this moment as an official calendar day of Democrats' quest to collapse the law and order around the country.

George Floyd doesn’t a ‘systemic racism’ make

George Floyd, by video accounts, died a horrific, even murderously minded death at the hands of an uncaring police officer who locked his black victim against the pavement for several painful minutes, knee on neck, as the life seeped from his body. But that doesn't mean all police hate blacks.

Drew Brees takes patriotic, righteous — lonely — stand for America

Drew Brees needs support. It's the last chance to save a U.S. pastime from devolving into a pot of anti-American vitriol where police are painted as enemies, the country is painted as inherently racist, the Constitution is pounded as unjust, and the game -- remember the game? -- is just another platform to air political grievances.
