This photo made available by the U.S. National Archives shows a portion of the United States Constitution with the title of Article V. For the past two centuries, constitutional amendments have originated in Congress, where they need the support of two-thirds of both houses, and then the approval of at least three-quarters of the states. But under a never-used second prong of Article V, amendments can originate in the states. (National Archives via AP) ** FILE **

Parler purge just the beginning

Mark these words, this is a purge of conservative speech, conservative expression, conservative rhetoric -- and this is all just the beginning.

Mark Levin, conservative talkers, threatened with firing

Cumulus radio hosts who don't cease and desist their chatter of stolen elections, fraudulent ballot counts and suggestions of the viability of continuing challenges to the Donald Trump-Joe Biden faceoff will be fired. Immediately. That's according to a memo from a Cumulus top dog.

Parler goes dark in biggest free speech heist of modern day

Big Tech has decided the social media option, Parler -- which grew in recent months due to the blatant censorship of Big Tech, by Big Tech, and denied by the liars at Big Tech -- well, that same Big Tech has decided that Parler grew too big for its own britches. So they targeted it for takedown. And they took it down.

Great Reset is corporate communism, and it’s coming to America

Joe Biden's just-announced Cabinet picks for Labor and Commerce -- Mayor Marty Walsh and Gov. Gina Raimondo, respectively -- share the common denominator of being tight with the unions. And that makes perfect sense when you consider the corporate-run communism that's coming to America under Democrats.

Billionaires reap big bucks during coronavirus despair

The coronavirus has been devastating to America's economy, to America's businesses, to America's entrepreneurs, to America's farmers and fitness trainers and food servers and file clerks -- to blue-collar and white-collar workers alike. Not all, however, have similarly suffered.

China goes ‘full rogue,’ sparking fears of next ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’

The mass arrest of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, combined with the messaging of China's president for all soldiers to be on alert for combat "at all times," has set the global stage for the "most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis," according to one China affairs expert, Gordon G. Chang. That's comforting.

God or bust — America’s choice is clear

There comes a time when things get so bad that even those without faith, even those who don't normally pray, even those who don't consider themselves believers in a higher power -- when things go so far south that even these secular types turn to God and ask for help. It's in these desperate conditions America now stands.

Democrats set 117th Congress stage for godlessness

Democrat Rep. Emanuel Cleaver opened the 117th Congress in a prayer -- of sorts -- to "the monotheistic god, Brahma, and god known by many names by many different faiths." And then he wrapped with "amen and a-woman." With this prayer, Dems are essentially giving the boot to God from government.

None of the agreements currently include the vaccines by Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech, which is already in use in the United States, Canada and Britain. (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus, File)

WHO can take its ‘next pandemic’ and shove it

For all you "let's just listen to the government so we can get back to normal" types out there, listen up: World health wonks are already paving the way to the next pandemic and with it more liberty-restricting lockdowns.

Democrats, RINOs alike dying to get rid of Donald Trump

Democrats, deep staters, RINOs, Black Lives Matter Marxist-types -- all these players and more are just days from breathing sighs of relief at the end of the "America First" administration, the one run by Donald Trump, the one run by the guy who outright, beginning to end, refused to play polite political behind-closed-door games.

China threat looms large at America’s college campuses

America's college campuses, already corrupted by Marxist-loving professors bent on reliving their 1960s protest years, have now become even more dangerous places for the youth of the country. Nothing says "Tear Down These American Walls" like a pro-communist, properly propagandized youthful batch of college grads -- yes?

Anthony Fauci’s ‘lying’ is hardly surprising

Sen. Marco Rubio just called out Anthony Fauci in a penned piece posted on Fox News as a lying liar who arrogantly used his position as the nation's top infectious disease bureaucrat to lie to the American people "in order to manipulate their behavior." It's a good piece; a crucial read. But readers, take note: Why be surprised?

California shows COVID-19 shutdowns are all about politics, power plays

California has just seen an uptick in coronavirus case counts. That's after the state's residents suffered some of the country's toughest crackdowns on freedoms. So in response to the uptick in coronavirus case counts, the Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, has -- get this -- issued more stay-at-home crackdowns. Come again?

Americans want work, not stimulus handouts

Six hundred dollars here, $2,000 there, government funding here, coronavirus stimulus there. As Congress and Capitol Hill grapple with the fate of final and ongoing relief funding amounts for Americans, the simple fact is this: These handouts are getting wearisome. Americans, true Americans, want to work.

Anthony Fauci blames states’ rights for coronavirus spread

Dr. Anthony Fauci just told BBC Radio 4 that it's that pesky ol' 10th Amendment that has proven a real detriment to disease-fighting. He wants total federal clamp-downs and few-to-zero sovereign state COVID-19 decisions. Of course, he didn't explicitly say all this. He gave it the Fauci Treatment, which is to say the subtle sell.

Joe Biden cometh, and he’s bringing his czars to rule

Make way for the czars. A Joe Biden White House, as media report is in the works, will bring more czars, more issuance of regulation, more Barack Obama-like pen and phone governance than any kind of duly passed laws and order.

All I want for Christmas is the Constitution

Build back better. It's the campaign call of leftists everywhere who want to see a better nation, nay better world, emerging from all this coronavirus stuff. It's such an alluring slogan, but it disguises its nasty socialist catch.
