Five-plus reasons why Americans should fight the face masks

White House begs press to play nice with Joe Biden

Joe Biden has fallen on hard impeachment inquiry times and now the White House wants media organizations to "ramp up scrutiny" of Republicans leading the process. Please, pretty please -- Biden's team is about as desperate as can be. They need distraction and they need it quick.

N.M. tyrant-in-chief a canary in coal mine for anti-gun Democrats

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham "suspended" the right to carry a firearm for 30 days -- and that's "suspended," in quotation marks, because she actually has no authority to do any such thing -- yet she ordered it anyway citing, wait for it, wait for it, a public health emergency.

Religious freedom makes a post-COVID comeback

America is not lost so long as religious liberties stay intact. And 2023 is seeing a resurgence of those in America who are successfully fighting the far left intent to crumble the foundations of this country -- which are, in a phrase, based on God-given individual liberties.

Democrats, on election interference, should quit while they’re ahead

Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas and presidential candidate, said on his news show on TBN that if Democrats are able to keep Donald Trump from the White House in 2024 due to his legal troubles, then America's future elections will be decided by "bullets." He's got a valid point.

Gadsden flag flap and the ignorant teachers who should be fired

Bold & Blunt: Remembering our roots, reclaiming our rights

So many threats to America's liberty; so much compliance among the American people. It's a sad state of affairs, really -- one that was showcased during the tragedy of COVID years that could go down in history as the time the nation ceded its God-given rights.
