Cities across the U.S. are struggling with and cracking down on tent encampments as the number of homeless people grows, largely due to a lack of affordable housing.

San Francisco socialist faults free market for homelessness

Dean Preston, a San Fran supervisor, said the scores of homeless camped in the streets are victims of capitalism and that it is futile to arrest drug addicts. Then he called on those who wanted to clean up the streets to simply shut their eyes, like he does, and voila, they're gone! Not really. But it was implied.

Bold & Blunt: A Christmas message of hope

Suicide spikes during the holiday season -- but it doesn't have to be that way.

American ignorance: 1-in-5 U.S. youth say Holocaust a myth

One-in-five of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 years old thinks the Holocaust is a myth, Economist/YouGov reported. In case you're wondering why all the antisemites on college campuses and in city streets in America -- there you go.

Alex Jones’ ‘X’ reinstatement a win for free speech

Seventy percent of X users said Infowars host Alex Jones should see his social media account restored and boom, like that, he's back; Elon Musk reactivated his platform. This is a major win for free speech. In America, it's not unlawful to be a conspiracy theorist. Nor should it be.

Hamas animals and their shop of female victim horrors

Female Israeli soldiers captured and killed by Hamas terrorists had their breasts cut off, their crotches and intimate areas shot, their faces mutilated, their legs chopped, their heads severed, their bodies burned to ash -- and of course, were raped. And all the antisemites go: It's Israel's fault.

Bold & Blunt video: Hanukkah in a war zone

It's Hanukkah, and Israel may be at war, and the United Nations may be politicizing the plight of the Palestinians to condemn the Jewish state, but the Festival of Lights still goes forth.

Climate worshippers gather in oil-rich UAE to pray to pagan god of green

Those who worship the green goddess of environmentalism know they don't even have to take a stab at talking real science any more. They can just send in Greta Thunberg to wag her Wendy pigtails and scold, "How dare you" in a hissing stage-directed voice a few -- thousand -- times and voila, science is born.

The Libertarian Party is trying to decide which theme they should use for their 2020 presidential convention. So far, the winner is the acronym "TANSTAAFL," which means "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." (Libertarian party)

Bold & Blunt: Libertarianism: The other party meat

Tired of being betrayed by Republicans who promise this and that, but never deliver? Tired of the Marxists masquerading as Democrats and running as members of the party of the people? Try a third way; a new way; a libertarian way.

Brandon Johnson edges out Lori Lightfoot for second ‘Most Delusional Democrat’

Chicago's newest mayor, Brandon Johnson, slammed "raggedy" and "right-wing" GOP extremists for what ails his cesspool of a crime-ridden city that regularly makes national headlines for its weekend murder-by-gun counts -- always curious, given the strict policies that don't allow anyone to walk about with guns.

Bold & Blunt: We need more Christians in politics

Natural immunity proves better than COVID shots. No duh

A new coronavirus study from Estonia involving a pool of 329,496 adults found -- in the words of one researcher -- "natural immunity offers stronger and longer-lasting protection against infection, symptoms and hospitalization" than COVID shots. Umm. Du'oh. No duh. We've known that for some time.

At the same time, the White House is strongly defending his stamina and playing down polling, suggesting that the issue could cost him votes during next year’s election. Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)

Bold & Blunt: Shadow surveillance exists

If you think the government of the United States is constrained by the Constitution and would never, no, never, conduct unwarranted surveillance operations against free and innocent American people, think again.

Kamala Harris finally acknowledges what we all know: Biden is an epic fail

Vice President Kamala Harris, in an interview with CNN, acknowledged that President Biden's polling numbers aren't good and that "there's no doubt about it," a second term for this POTUS is far from guaranteed. Thanks, Captain Obvious. Stay tuned for next week's interview as Harris discusses rumors of an open border.

Bold & Blunt video: Two-state solution a myth

As Gol Kalev, the author of Judaism 3.0 and a Jerusalem Post columnist living in Israel, said: A two-state solution where Palestinians and Israelis live side by side in peace and prosperity is impossible when Hamas, the duly elected governing structure in Gaza, wants to eradicate the Jewish people.

Justice Arthur Engoron presides over Donald Trump Jr.'s testimony in his family's civil fraud case at the New York State Supreme Court on Monday, Nov. 13, 2023 in New York. (Erin Schaf/Pool Photo via AP)

Donald Trump’s trial by kangaroo is dangerous for all Americans

Judge Engoron has gone off the deep end with his issuance of gag orders and sanctions over violations of gag orders against Trump. First Amendment? Freedom of speech? Engoron is one step from stuffing Trump in a cage and putting him in a corner of the courtroom, a la Russia style.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, R-Ga., arrives on Capitol Hill in Washington, Oct. 24, 2023. A federal judge rejected Taylor Greene’s request to have an upstate New York man convicted of sending her threatening voicemails pay $65,000 for her Georgia home’s security fence. Joseph Morelli pleaded guilty in February to threatening the Republican congresswoman in several calls in 2022 to her Washington, D.C., office. He was sentenced to three months in prison in August. Lawyers for the government argued that Greene’s security expenses stemmed from the threats. But U.S. District Judge Brenda Kay Sannes denied the request in a ruling Tuesday, Nov. 14 saying Greene did not suffer a property loss. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, file)

Bold & Blunt: Alejandro Mayorkas must go

In recent congressional testimony, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene held up a photo of an elderly couple who were killed by a 17-year-old illegal and asked Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to respond -- and he did. He went stone cold.
