Sen. Chuck Schumer, on Israel, gets one right

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is Jewish -- his family is Jewish, from western Ukraine -- but he's a Democrat who's moved further and further left, ideologically speaking, as his political career has progressed. Yet on the terror attack on Israel, even he pushed aside his politics to call out evil

Bold and Blunt: Voter suppression a big Democrat lie

Democrats have been resisting the idea of voter reform for decades -- specifically, any idea that tightens security and cleans up ballot lists and bolsters integrity. And they label any Republicans who try to secure America's elections as racists who advocate a return of Jim Crow laws.

Bold & Blunt: Morals increasingly don’t matter to Americans

Recent polling combined with the votes for abortion and recreational marijuana in Ohio show that the moral decline of America is on a fast-track, and if politics are downstream from culture, the threat to individual liberties is massive.

Face mask mandates persist, despite stupidity, for Marxist strategy

A very smart 15-year-old said amid the coronavirus lockdowns in America that face masking is like a small child hiding beneath a blanket as protection against a monster in the closet. In other words: Good luck with that. And yet this, from MSN : "Bay Area reinstates COVID mask orders in healthcare settings."

Ohio: Abortion and weed and immorality, oh my

Ohio voters gave the thumbs-up to abortion as a state constitutional right and to recreational marijuana. On values, the heartland has shifted. And it ain't for the good.

Trump, with all his indictments, still beats bumbling Biden

A brand new poll from The New York Times and Siena College shows Donald Trump beating Joe Biden for the race for the presidency in five of six battleground states, with leads between 3 and 10 percentage points. Yes. That's how bad Biden really is.

White House cartoon-in-chief, Kamala Harris, wages war on hate: We hate hate!

Israel's got their Hamas. Ignorant college kids have their anti-semitic pro-Palestinian mantras. Rashida Tlaib has her anti-Jewish ethnic cleansing causes. But for this White House, the war's on hate. And Biden's set his trusty-wusty VP Kamala Harris as commander-in-chief of this war. What could possibly go wrong.

Mike Johnson vilified for the very faith that will save America

Jen Psaki, on "Inside with Jen Psaki" on MSNBC, tore apart new House Speaker Mike Johnson as a radical, religiously fanatical nut job bent on bowing Americans to a brutal Bible-thumping reign. All the guy did, mind you, was pray and express his Christian faith.

Bold & Blunt: Fired for refusing the COVID shot

This is America. This is the land of the free, supposedly. So why were thousands of American citizens fired for refusing to take the Covid shots, especially when many cited religious exemptions? Here's a clue: Covid brought out the tyrants in government and media.

Trump will have his revenge and so, too, will all patriotic Americans

Donald Trump, amid running for president, has been gagged by leftists from speaking about the leftist attacks that have been fabricated by leftists working for the political party in charge that coincidentally, wink, wink, happens to be running a leftist campaign against him for 2024. Truly, Democrats are Stalinists.

Gavin Newsom’s cozying to godless CCP disqualifies him for POTUS

It's one thing to maintain diplomatic ties with enemies so as to cooperate on matters of mutual interest and importance, such as economic opportunities or regional peace or human rights. It's another thing entirely to kiss their feet. Gov. Gavin Newsom, in China, did much more of the second than the first.
