COVID-19 vaccine status a private affair

Remember the days when personal medical and health decisions stayed personal? The coronavirus has changed all that. Fear and ignorance driven by a politically exploitative class of political exploiters have changed all that.

Americans grow ‘very dissatisfied’ with nation’s morals

It's no coincidence that at the same time America is growing increasing dissatisfied with the moral drift of the nation that many other polls and surveys show the citizenry is growing much more secular, that the churches are growing silent, that the pews are remaining empty.

Trump Train only grows stronger in face of attacks

The more the RINOs, the more the Democrats, the more the haters in the elitist camps and leftist camps and globalist camps attack Donald Trump, the more the people of America rally around the former president. It's like a Newton's Law thing.

States’ rights to the rescue

In Founding Fathers' days, it was the Federalists versus the Anti-Federalists. In Joe Biden's presidential days, it's the radical environmentalists versus the state treasurers. And watch and wait: If states stand strong, they'll get the win on this one.

Legal battles are brewing over forced COVID-19 vaccines

Rutgers University may think it's taking the high ground by mandating returning students either get the coronavirus vaccine or get out. But class action to the rescue. Angry Americans fighting to keep in place their basic rights of informed consent have a tough law firm in their corner. Good.

Joe Biden, executively ordering America’s way to fascism

Joe Biden has just used his presidential perch to order the nation's companies to obey and abide by strict government regulations tied to environmentalism and climate change. He's just used his presidential powers to order an end to America's free markets. To America's freedoms.

Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts another whiny communist: Robert Reich

Robert Reich doesn't call himself a communist; he thinks of himself as a social justice warrior, fighting for the people. But that's what all communists say about their communist selves, especially the intellectual class of communists to which Reich belongs.

Time to take back control of your health choices from Big Brother

So what if Jane Free and Joe Liberty down the street choose not to wear masks or get vaccinated? You're protected. You're good to go. Carry on. Move on. Even more: Mind your own business. Because after all, in America, health care is a personal choice.

Anthony Fauci plummets in polls

Anthony Fauci, the face of pandemic policy for more than a year, is losing luster with voters -- meaning, losing the ability to influence how voters live their lives. And it's about time.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is a raging racist

Imagine if President Donald Trump, while in the White House, told the pool of press people that for his two-year in-office anniversary, he was going to grant special one-on-one interviews -- but only to Caucasians. That's what Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a black Democrat, just did.

Bill Gates crumbles on his own smug immorality

The Founding Fathers warned us that a nation without a people guided by a moral compass from above would crumble in a morass of decadence, deception and other cultural declines, bringing with it the political world and the limited government system. Witness Bill Gates.

Middle East war looms, as White House waffles in weakness

It won't be long now before the Middle East breaks into major war, the majority of likely U.S. voters told Rasmussen in a recent poll. That's the Joe Biden effect -- a White House of weakness, setting the stage for a world on edge.

CDC wagging the dog on face masks

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just came out and announced that face masks aren't necessary for those who've been vaccinated -- but as many in Republican circles are asking: What's changed? Certainly not the science. That leaves politics. Wag the dog, anyone?

Loudoun County, Virginia, School Board out of control

Our nation's youth are being inundated with lies by the very ones who are supposed to expand their minds and train them to critically think. It's about time parents wrested back control of public schools, one county at a time.

Joe Biden, resident dictator? Come and get me, coppa

President Biden in a tweet gave Americans the choice to either "get vaccinated" or "wear a mask." As if he were the dictator and Americans were his subjects. "The rule is now simple," @POTUS tweeted. "[G]et vaccinated or wear a mask until you do." Or else what?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, consummate snowflake

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shouted at socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and now Democrat Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi wants an ethics investigation -- for what? To tell us what we already know? The socialist is a snowflake who can't stand countering viewpoints.

Joe Biden is Jimmy Carter, minus the cheese

Inflation. Gas lines. Rising unrest overseas. All we need are some cheese lines and voila, it'll be the Jimmy Carter White House years all over again. Yay, Team Biden. Go, President Joe.
