Joe Biden goes nuts on executive powers

President Joe Biden, off a "busy week," as he termed it, of signing executive order upon executive order, signed two more executive orders aimed at "restoring" Obamacare and undoing President Donald Trump's "attack on women's health access." What's that now -- 40?

D.C. military occupation not a good look for America

Concerns over "civil disturbance" have led powers in Washington, D.C., to extend the stay of members of the National Guard in the capital city. A military occupation in America -- who knew. But military troops are not law enforcement officers. Nor should they be treated as such.

Bill Gates will use ‘pandemic war’ to control the world

Bill Gates wants future pandemics to be treated as seriously as the world regards war. And what that means in layman's terms is he wants to use future pandemics as cause to strip citizens of their rights to self-rule. But don't worry; he says it's all for your own good.

Crush the unions, fire the teachers

The Chicago Teachers Union just told school administrators to get you-know-what after members decided that being ordered back to the classrooms to provide in-person instruction was too dangerous for these coronavirus times. These teachers should be fired. Fire 'em all.

Snopes mounts magic mask theory to save Joe Biden from shame

President Joe Biden just blundered a big one, as Joe Biden is wont to do, and issued an executive order that put most all American citizens into face masks. And then he went out and about without his own face mask. Oops. Hypocrisy at its finest. Elitism at its ugliest. Or is it?

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., asks questions during a Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee hearing to discuss election security and the 2020 election process on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (Greg Nash/Pool via AP)

Rand Paul smackdown of George Stephanopoulos is what media deserve

Sen. Rand Paul went on "This Week" on ABC and, after being labeled by host George Stephanopoulos a liar and characterized as a political hack, fought back with this: George, you're not so much a "journalist" as "a fool." That's what most in the media these days deserve.

Executive orders are not unifying

Joe Biden rose to the presidency on promises of healing America's soul and unifying the country -- and then, when he got there, turned around and slammed the Constitution down hard and issued a bunch of executive orders. That's hardly unifying. That's more, "I am zee law!"

National Guard in D.C. was nothing but political prop

National Guards members sent to protect the incoming president from conservative voters during the canceled inaugural activities that nobody would've attended anyway were booted from the U.S. Capitol to a parking garage. Their time in the photography sun had ended, you see.

Newsmax TV is to Fox what Fox was to CNN

When Roger Ailes joined up with Rupert Murdoch to start Fox News as a conservative alternative to the liberal news networks, CNN mocked the competition as, well, hardly competition. It's a bit how Fox, in turn, treated Newsmax TV. And now, the chickens are coming home to roost.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, emboldened, ramps up calls to ‘abolish ICE’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the congressional socialist with the mostest, took to Twitter to call for the end of America's leading border control agency, ICE. Yep. Nothing marks the end of President Donald Trump's administration like the leftist call for less border control.

Pelosi and House Democrats, joined by a few Republicans, delivered the historic rebuke of Trump for his incitement of the mob that attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

Impeachment charade hurts all of America

The left will get its pound of flesh. If anything characterizes how Democrats and their cohorts in the left-leaning media work, it's that phrase -- and it's that phrase's meaning that's being played out with the current impeachment push against President Donald Trump.

Virginia pushing evil law to let boys into girls’ bathrooms

The Virginia Department of Education just released for public comment a proposal that would allow boys who think they're girls, or even boys who pretend to be girls, the unfettered right to enter girls' bathrooms and dressing rooms and changing areas. Talk about child abuse.

In this Jan. 6, 2021, file photo, Trump supporters gather outside the Capitol in Washington. Online supporters of Trump are scattering to smaller social media platforms, fleeing what they say is unfair treatment by Facebook, Twitter and other big tech firms looking to squelch misinformation and threats of violence.

Violence plays right into the Saul Alinksy-loving Left’s hands

Violence plays into the hands of the left by giving them a high horse on which they can sit and blast condemnation upon this 'disgusting, vile, violent, gasp, right-wing batch of deplorables.' Or whatever similar suitably condemning phraseology fits the mood of the moment.

The website of the social media platform Parler is displayed in Berlin, Jan. 10, 2021. The platform's logo is on a screen in the background. The conservative-friendly social network Parler was booted off the internet Monday, Jan. 11, over ties to last week's siege on the U.S. Capitol, but not before hackers made off with an archive of its posts, including any that might have helped organize or document the riot. (Christophe Gateau/dpa via AP)

Parler’s fight is every American’s fight

Parler, the social media alternative to anti-conservative, anti-President Donald Trump, anti-Christian speech police at Twitter, has responded to Amazon Web Services' yank of hosting privileges with a lawsuit. It's crucial to the future of Americans' liberties that Parler wins.

In this Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020, file photo, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appears on a screen as he speaks remotely during a hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee on Capitol Hill, in Washington. Dorsey broke his silence to defend his company’s ban of President Donald Trump as the right decision, but warned that it could set a dangerous precedent. The ban, he said, revealed Twitter’s “failure” to create an open and healthy space for what Dorsey calls the “global public conversation.” (Michael Reynolds/Pool Photo via AP, File)

Big Tech will only be halted by mass boycott

The only way to stop Big Tech and put an end to the social media CEOs' hatred of and hostility to all-things-conservative is for consumers to rally in one huge mass and mount an immediate boycott of all these platforms. And the chance of that happening, seriously, is slim.

Democrats making martyr of Donald Trump

Democrats are turning President Donald Trump into a political martyr. And the more Democrats and some Republicans attack, the more Trump's base of support of uniting, growing, strengthening -- and preparing for comeback. The left always overplays its hand.

Donald Trump’s erasure doesn’t kill MAGA spirit

YouTube just suspended President Donald Trump from its platform for a period of seven days -- or more. That comes after Twitter banned Trump forever and Facebook booted his account indefinitely. Let the Trump haters cheer. They won't kill the spirit of Americanism called MAGA.
