"This nation has a rich history of presidents who respected the power, decorum, and integrity of their office. Unfortunately, that rich history ended the day Trump became president," said the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Michael R. Bloomberg. (Associated Press/File)

Michael Bloomberg does a George Soros and buys up law enforcement

Michael Bloomberg, according to various media reports, has been funding state attorney general offices and paying the salaries of key, politically liberal-leaning attorneys general -- a practice that gives all appearances of buying law enforcement on the local and state levels. And guess what: This is what George Soros does, too.

Barack Obama is jealous of Donald Trump’s economy

Barack Obama, ex-prez, took to Twitter to try and claim that today's great economy is due to his 11-year-old policy -- suggesting, laughably, his White House is owed a big ol' thank you from President Donald Trump, from the business world, from America. Sorry, Mr. Obama, but to coin one of your own phrases: You didn't build that.

Mike Bloomberg slips in left’s big pool of self-importance

Much ado has been made over Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg's condescending comments about farmers -- you know, the ones where he said in 2016 that he "could teach anybody" to "dig a hole," drop in a seed, cover with dirt, "add water" and voila, "up comes the corn." But really, this is how all Democrats think of conservatives.

Joe Biden knows: South Carolina or bust

Joe Biden isn't exactly putting out the Closed, Gone Fishing sign on his political campaign. But even he's acknowledging, subtly and in not so many words, but entertaining the thought just the same, that his trail to the White House has been less than smooth and that South Carolina may prove the end of the line.

William Barr’s tight spot and the red herring tweet

More than 1,100 ex-Department of Justice officials have signed a petition demanding Attorney General William Barr resign over his handling of the Roger Stone case. This isn't due to a presidential tweet. This was all part and parcel of the Democrats' next political plan.

Democrats tee up their next impeachment cause

President Donald Trump, as presidents are wont to do, fired a White House staffer in whom he lost confidence -- namely, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. And now the left has its next impeachment cause: witness retaliation.

Karl Marx quoted at Oscars — and it’s not even surprising

We always knew those on the left, particularly the scholarly, intellectual, high-brow elitist of the left, were in love with Karl Marx. And Vladimir Lenin. And Benito Mussolini. And Joseph Stalin. And Che Guevara. And the like. They're just becoming more open about it

‘Christian socialism’ is tyranny

Christian socialism? Make way for the lie. Christianity and socialism cannot coexist and bring freedom to the individual. Moreover, it's not even based on Bible truths.

National Prayer Breakfast reveals a great evil of the left

President Donald Trump created quite a media stir when he stood at the National Prayer Breakfast podium and, in response to keynote speaker Arthur Brooks' call to love thy enemies and leave behind thy contempt, said he saw things a bit differently -- that it was rather difficult to swallow the bitter bites of fabricated impeachment pushes with a simple shrug and "oh well" hug. Well, Trump is right. Love does not mean tolerance of evil.

Democrats at SOTU blew opportunity to unite, heal

Democrats, at the State of the Union, had the perfect opportunity to show their above-the-fray sides and prove that when it comes to politicking, their primary interests are country and Constitution, first; individual citizen second; self, third -- if at all. But they blew it. They showed themselves once again as unworthy of their titles.

Nancy Pelosi, in ripping SOTU speech, disdains all America, not just Donald Trump

Make no mistake about it. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's dramatic State of the Union speech-ripping performance wasn't aimed just at the president. It was a show of disdain for all the president's supporters -- for all of patriotic America. For all the deplorables out there she hasn't been able to control and conquer.

‘Cuba sucks’: Reflections on socialism, behind the curtain

A team of Turning Point USA producers took a trip to Cuba to peer behind the glitzy social media photos that show a nation of happy, happy, joy, joy citizens -- and came home to America with a stiff, stern warning for Bernie Sanders' fans and socialist wannabes that went, bluntly, like this: Don't bring the bleak to America.

Bernie Sanders, the socialist POTUS? Better believe it

A couple of decades ago, the idea of a Bernie Sanders socialist as president of the United States was unthinkable. Now, here he stands, chugging up the poll numbers, climbing up the primary ranks, scooping up the millennial love. What's changed? Much, but mostly, morals and faith.

Super Bowl steamy halftime show not amusing

Family friendly has taken a turn toward the pornographic in this country. And apparently, America is loving it. America, minus the parents trying to raise their children with godly values and virtues, is loving it. What happened to class. What happened to talent. What happened to singing without a stripper pole.

Super Bowl Sunday’s sad and seedy sex trafficking side

Not to be a killjoy -- but as San Francisco and Kansas City battle in Miami for Super Bowl LIV's coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy, untold numbers of American girls will be sold at the price of $300 an hour or so to sleazy sex trafficker customers. Welcome to the seedy not-so-underground side of celebrity-size sporting events.
