Christians should learn the power of ‘Bite me’

Patriotic Christians need to learn the power of the phrase "Bite me" -- and then, apply it accordingly. Repeat as needed. Our Judeo-Christian-based liberties are at stake. And who knows best how to fight for God-given rights than those trained in the ways and words of God?

FILE - In this Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2019 file photo, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., left, and Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., stand with President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., as Trump speaks while departing after a Senate Republican Policy luncheon, on Capitol Hill in Washington. The Republican Party still belongs to Donald Trump. The GOP privately flirted with purging the norm-shattering former president after he incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last month. But in the end, only seven of 50 Senate Republicans voted to convict Trump in his historic second impeachment trial on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2021. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)

Donald Trump deplorables will not be purged

Hey, RINOs: Guess what? Neither Donald Trump nor his fan base is going quietly any time soon. This culture war, this political war, this fight for the future of America and battle over capitalism versus socialism -- this party is only getting started.

Joe Biden’s ‘commonsense gun law reforms’ are the lies of the anti-2nd Amendment left

President Joe Biden, on the anniversary of the horrible tragedy called the Parkland school shootings, promised his administration would forever protect innocent Americans from similarly senseless crimes and soon enough, with Democrats holding majorities in both House and Senate, pass "commonsense gun law reforms." That is to say: End the Second Amendment as we know it.

Double face-masking: Why not triple? Quadruple?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and health experts with Johns Hopkins just agreed with Anthony Fauci that double masking -- piling a mask on top of a mask over face and nose -- is "helpful" to fight coronavirus. "Helpful." There's a scientific finding for ya.

Nikki Haley — et tu? — distances from Donald Trump

Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations told Politico Magazine that yes, she once stood by the president but now, post-Impeachment Two, post-Capitol Hill protest, he's "let us down." Ouch. That's the sound of a knife sliding gently into the former president's back.

ISIS: We’re baaack!

It's really no coincidence that as soon as strong-on-foreign-policy Donald Trump exited the White House office and weak-with-overseas-players Joe Biden entered that headlines started blasting this: "ISIS could regain capacity to orchestrate attacks in 2021."

LifeSite silenced by YouTube

YouTube censors have completely shut down the pro-life LifeSite channel, as well as erased all the Christian group's videos. While YouTube is privately owned, within its free-market rights to pick and choose its posters -- come on, now. As if the abortion matter only had one side?

National anthem is still unifying

By now, everybody's heard that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, also of "Shark Tank" TV fame, has done away with the singing or playing of the national anthem before basketball games and that he's also declined to tell why. The 11-14 Mavericks suck, anyway.

Donald Trump could easily steal Republican voters for new party

Roughly 70% of Republicans said in a new poll that they'd either definitely or "maybe" join a political party formed by Donald Trump. As Bernie Sanders might say: That's yuuge. Yuuge enough to set Republicans in Congress on notice about the political perils of impeachment, at least.

Pope Francis hops aboard chilling, globalist ‘Great Reset’ WEF wagon

Pope Francis said the coronavirus has provided the perfect opportunity for economies of the world to reimagine markets and push businesses to put social justice, rather than profits, at the core of their pursuits. He's calling for an end to capitalism and a "reset" for global socialism.

Liz Cheney epitomizes political elitism

Rep. Liz Cheney, Wyoming Republican, is in hot water with her state and constituents for voting in favor of impeaching Donald Trump -- that's DT Q. Citizen, not President Donald J. Trump. But she won't leave.

‘Vaccine passport’ is outrageously unconstitutional

To impose a vaccine as a condition of traveling is to suggest that government knows best what is best for an individual's health, and therefore has the right to strip that individual of the power to self-determine. That's not constitutional. That's dictatorial. That's China.

Mitt Romney has a socialist plan to pay $350 monthly to parents

Sen. Mitt Romney, Republican In Name Only as he is, just proposed a piece of legislation that would gift parents with children, depending on ages, between $250 and $350 per month and up to $4,200 per year. How is that not socialist?

John Kerry thinks his jet fuel doesn’t stink

John Kerry has been making quite a media stir lately about the need for climate change to be treated as a top-notch, top-of-the-list, top-priority national security issue. And not to be rude, but -- what about that private jet Kerry rode to Iceland for his environmental leadership award?

‘Christian Nationalism’ is the left’s next anti-American play

The New York Times just published an opinion piece titled, "The Capitol Insurrection Was as Christian Nationalist as It Gets." Nice try. This is the left's next go-to weapon for taking down Donald Trump supporters, patriots, limited government conservatives and Christians.

George Bush pansies poised to exit GOP

So tons of George Bush-ers are leaving the GOP over Donald Trump? That's almost as threatening as when John McCain shuffled his oafy pretend-GOP self to the front of the cameras in Congress to give a dramatic thumbs-down to Obamacare repeal, in defiance of Trump's agenda.

Lincoln Project falling on hard sex-scandal times

So the anti-Donald Trump Lincoln Project was co-founded by a guy who now stands accused of sending sexually explicit messages to young males, one as young as 14, and promising jobs and career advancement in exchange for, you guessed it, sex. That's called sexual harassment.

Christian surge in China threatens communists — and Democrats

China, land of the dark, is seeing the light -- the light of the gospel, that is -- with an explosion of Christianity in recent years so great that the American Family Association is calling it nothing short of "astonishing" and "miraculous." This has leftists everywhere on edge.
