Harris spins heads with border spins

Vice President Kamala Harris spins so much on border policy she could power 100 dreidels with a single cackle. Her campaign staffers recognize this, so they're sending her to the border to do damage control -- i.e., to get photos of her posing with her hands on her hips, like some sort of swaggering Marlboro Woman.

Bold & Blunt: Atheism breeds mental illness

Take a look around at all the mental illness on display in America's streets rights now, not to mention the lunatic fringe that's been elevated to normalcy -- LGBTQ, anyone? -- and the question pops: What the heck is going on, America? In a word: atheism.

Bold & Blunt: Democrats embrace racism as politics

Barack Obama didn't have a large pool of political history when he ran for president -- and he not only spent his campaigns tossing down race cards, but also his eight years in the White House, using the color of skin as a means of dividing the nation and drumming up votes. The Democrat playbook continues.

Bold & Blunt: Restoring the American Dream is very possible with God

America's best days are yet to come, so long as Americans, as a people, realize that solutions don't come from government so much as from God. That means if America is to regain its exceptionalism, then Americans must turn back to God. That's really the essence of it.

Trump skirts bullets, but not Democrats’ mocking

Donald Trump may have dodged yet another assassination attempt. But what he can't avoid is the vicious derision of Democrats who want to poke fun at the near-death experiences of the former president. This isn't even politics anymore. This is pure evil on display.

‘Evangelicals for Harris’ a curious twist of Scripture

"Evangelicals for Harris" said in a Facebook post that Kamala Harris "shines through in her clear Christian values." That's an interesting view for a woman who labels the ending of human life in the womb a "reproductive freedom" and who denies she's ever flipped on her views. Lie. And Jesus doesn't like lies.

A Bible sits open as Pastor Rick Mannon stands at the pulpit at Calvary Assembly of God in Wilson, Wis., Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2022. Mannon's church is an outpost in the culture wars tearing at America, and a haven for people who feel shoved aside by a changing nation. Homosexuality is seen as dangerous here. Abortion is evil. The specter of one-world government looms. "If Christians don't get involved in politics, then we shouldn't have a say," Mannon says. "We can't just let evil win."

Bold & Blunt: America’s growing separation from God

If America is to stay free, America must return to God. It's only common sense: you can't have God-given rights and liberties if God is removed from the equation. What remains is a void, and that void is then filled by government. Thus, the nation morphs into one where government grants rights and liberties.

Immoral media make moves to swing election to Harris

This is what makes the media so horrible and untrustworthy these days: They're quite willing to cast aside basic journalism principles to score political points against those representing views they detest.

Debate night — and what a dance of moderator dunces it was

Donald Trump hit the issue on the head when he said Americans can't go out and "buy cereal or bacon and eggs." The moderators quickly jumped to abortion to hand Kamala Harris the open mike. Who gives a flip about a matter that's in the hands of the states to decide, which they are currently, by the way, deciding?

Bold & Blunt: Repairing America, one relationship at a time

America's reached historic levels of division, thanks in large part to the Barack Obama administration and BHO's promise to change the foundation of this nation -- and thanks in large part to the current Joe Biden White House, and its ongoing attacks against all-things-MAGA. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, attends the opening of the Tesla factory Berlin Brandenburg in Gruenheide, Germany, March 22, 2022. Musk, the world's richest man and the owner of SpaceX and Tesla, says he is a free speech absolutist who doesn't support the kind of content moderation that saw people like ex-President Donald Trump get banned for inciting violence (Patrick Pleul/Pool via AP, File)

Elon Musk as ‘government efficiency’ czar is step in right direction

Donald Trump has spelled out some of his economic goals for his hoped-for next White House win, and nestled among the plans to "Make America Affordable Again" is this gem: appoint "X" man Elon Musk to head up a government efficiency commission to root out waste of taxpayer dollars.

Abortion rights protesters march between the Indiana Statehouse and the Indiana State Library where Vice President Kamala Harris was meeting with Indiana legislators to discuss reproductive rights in Indianapolis, on July 25, 2022. Indiana says it's seen a 98% decline in abortions after restricting the procedure last fall, adding to a national debate over the effectiveness of state bans. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy, File)

Democrats are the greatest thing the devil ever invented

Sarafina Chitika, a spokesperson for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket, accused Donald Trump of allowing Louisiana women to bleed to death because of his fights involving Roe v. Wade. Democrats have become so brazenly open with their ugly, lying language that they're actually making the devil envious.

Walz toured a community vaccination clinic to highlight efforts to vaccinate Minnesotans who are 65 and older Thursday. (Anthony Souffle/Star Tribune via AP) ** FILE **

COVID funding fraud a prime example of why handouts fail

Whenever government gets involved in taking tax dollars from one to give to another, the system goes bust. Government is not just a lousy manager of money. Government is totally unconcerned about its lousy money management skills because the members of government are too busy using that money to buy up votes.

Bold & Blunt: The battle for truth heats as election draws close

It's not enough for voters to watch, read or listen to news to tell which is the better political candidate. Today's voters have to be discerning to tell the truth versus lies of the many deceptions Democrats push. Kamala Harris is being created, as we speak.

The hilarious stupidity of Democrat voters

So much material; so little time. So many Democrats; so little IQ. The somber part is this: After nearly four years of a brain-dead president, the best that Democrats have to offer is -- more of the same? Yes, it's absurd. But it's also a national security issue and an international threat.

RINOs with TDS stampede to Harris’ side

More than 200 staffers and aides for the GOP rushed to send out a letter endorsing Kamala Harris, not Donald Trump, for president. Two hundred! Well, hell's bells. This is the part where Trump is probably supposed to bite his fingernails in fright and run like a little girl from the campaign trail -- right?
