John Bolton book leak the latest Deep State jab at Donald Trump

The leftists in the media, the Democrats, the House managers -- all these players are in hyper mode over former National Security Adviser John Bolton's upcoming book in which he reportedly ties Donald Trump's release of aid to Ukraine to political information on Joe and Hunter Biden. But the bigger question is this: Who leaked?

George Soros, 89, is still on a quest to destroy America

George Soros is 89, but by gosh, before he dies, he's going to see to the internal destruction of America. How else to listen to his words in Davos, Switzerland, track his funding of American political races and pay attention to what he says about President Donald Trump, capitalism, and the leftist causes he backs and conclude otherwise?

Donald Trump rocks March for Life: ‘We declare that mothers are heroes’

President Donald Trump, against the backdrop of an impeachment effort that's been ongoing since Democrats realized he was about to be inaugurated, took a timeout from petty partisanship to speak of life -- to make a historic, first-ever-for-a-president personal appearance at the March of Life. And he rocked it.

Adam Schiff’s media fawners cross journalistic lines

In the minds of Republicans, truth-tellers and, um, sane people, Rep. Adam Schiff is the liar, liar, pants on fire guy who's taken his bloviating lying self from the House into the Senate, to orchestrate another theatrical performance of Get Trump. But with so many members of the media carrying his water, he's proving unstoppable.

Steven Mnuchin puts Greta Thunberg in her place

It's not that children don't have the right to have their opinions. It's just that children who speak on matters of which they're largely ignorant and completely unschooled shouldn't expect to order sovereign countries around and tell U.S. leaders what to do and dictate radical policies to the world.

Joe Biden shines spotlight on left’s insane love for illegal immigrants

Joe Biden, the guy who quite a few Democrats want to see as the next president of the United States, said he'd go after Immigration and Customs Enforcement for daring to deport illegals arrested for drunken driving. This is all that's wrong with Democrats, wrapped in a big old Joe Biden bow.

Ahmad Hamzeh, Iranian lawmaker, puts $3 million bounty on Donald Trump’s head

One of Iran's lawmakers, Ahmad Hamzeh, said in a session of his country's parliament that he'll pay $3 million to anyone who can kill President Donald Trump. Watch for it, wait for it, it won't be long before Democrats go: Well, Trump brought this on himself by pulling America from the Iran nuclear treaty.

Donald Trump, amid radical environmentalists, vows to conserve ‘God’s creation’

President Donald Trump, speaking in Davos, said the United States will join a One Trillion Trees Initiative aimed at better managing and growing and protecting forestry. Even this isn't likely to sooth the savage beasts called Radical Environmentalists who populated the forum, though. Why not? Trump said he'd do it in God's name.

Greta Thunberg gifted global Davos stage to sell climate nonsense

Greta Thunberg, the teenager who is to environmentalism what young David Hogg is to gun control -- meaning, Exploited Because They're Minors Who Push Far Left Delusions -- made an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos to plead, once again, for everyone in the world to stop being so mean to Planet Earth.

Capitalism unfairly branded as doing ‘more harm than good’

A new survey of people around the world finds that capitalism is being seen as doing "more harm than good." But if truth be told, it's capitalism and only capitalism that takes into account the wickedness of human hearts -- the natural failings of humans -- and works within that reality to lift individuals and whole nations from poverty.

Hugh Hewitt — conservatives don’t vote socialist. Ever.

Hugh Hewitt, a conservative radio host and writer, roiled the media cycles just recently when he said he was going to vote in the Virginia primary for socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. With all due respect to Hewitt, who's written some fine books and advanced some fine patriotic principles -- conservatives don't vote for socialists. Ever.

Christian persecution on rise: North Korea, Muslims to blame

Once again, of the top ten anti-Christian countries of the world, eight slots go to nations with predominantly Islamic populations. And once again, the news of Islam's radical tendencies will very likely fall on deaf Democrat ears.

Eminem calling for gun control akin to terrorist preaching on peace

Eminem, also known as one rap world's most violently, vulgar lyricists -- and whitest -- just dropped a surprise new album on the music community, accompanied by a video in which he makes a plea for gun control. It's hard to take seriously a guy who makes a living off selling violence as a form of art also calling for an end to violence.

Lev Parnas, another Democratic impeachment dud

Much ado has been made by MSNBC and The New York Times and the left and the Democrats about the latest, newest, glitziest, golden boy hoped-for impeachment witness, former Rudy Giuliani business associate Lev Parnas. But this guy is a dud like all the rest.

Socialists are coming for your children

Socialists are coming for your school-age children -- and that's no hyperbole. In a post on its website, the Democratic Socialists of America writes, "Why Socialists Should Become Teachers." This is horrifying. America's children are being targeted by forces who stand in utter opposition to all this country represents.

Bernie Sanders, the patriot: ‘Our job is to build the United Nations’

Oh boy, this is about as far left on foreign policy as a leftist can get -- and no surprise, it's brought to America courtesy of the socialist-slash-democratic-socialist-slash-independent-slash-Democrat, Bernie Sanders. "Our job," he said, at the final Democrat debate in Iowa, broadcast by CNN, "is to build the United Nations." Wow.
