Gavin Newsom falls on the abortion pill sword

California Gov. Gavin Newsom won't renew a $54 million contract with Walgreens because pharmacy executives have decided, on the heels of legal threats from several attorneys general, not to sell abortion pills in several GOP-led states. More tolerance and diversity, Democrat style.

CDC now pushing sex shot for kids

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention writes this: "HPV is a common virus that can cause cancers later in life" and is spread by "vaginal, anal, or oral sex." So of course the CDC is recommending the HPV vaccine for children as young as 11 years old. A sex shot for kids.

Alejandro Mayorkas is a liar who blames open border on climate change

Homeland Security's Alejandro Mayorkas suggested "extreme weather events" -- climate change -- was to blame for the mass migration across the border that has resulted in historic levels of illegals in America. And here we all thought it was President Biden's open border policies.

Democrats continue to buy Black votes

In California, Democrats are considering a $640 billion measure that would dole out $360,000 to eligible Black residents for slavery that wasn't even sanctioned in that state. This is how Democrats win elections. They divide, then swoop in to conquer.

I am woman — hear me boycott Hershey

Hershey decided as part of its "International Women's Day" campaign in Canada to celebrate men who pretend to be women. To paraphrase from singer Helen Reddy: I am woman -- hear me boycott Hershey.

America’s remnant: Only 4% now hold biblical worldview

A new study from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University has found only 4% of American adults now hold a worldview that is rooted in biblical principles. That's the end of American Exceptionalism, right there.

Face mask foolishness emboldening criminals in NYC, elsewhere

Face masked criminals whose identities are concealed are getting away with so many crimes in New York City that police are now asking store owners to refuse service to those who won't first remove their facial coverings. This is about as "no duh" a moment as can come.

The bullseye logo on a sign outside a Target store is seen on Feb. 28, 2022. Target's first-quarter profit took a big hit from higher costs, despite strong sales growth. Target's results Wednesday, May 18, reflect the pressure on retailers' profits coming from surging inflation and persistent clogs in the supply chain. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File)

Retailers choke on their own woke rot

The chief financial officer of retail chain Target just explained - really, complained - that "organized retail crime" is to blame for much of the corporation's dwindling profits in recent times. Well, that's what you get when you embolden the thug element.

Bond, James Bond, gets the P.C. censors treatment

At this rate, Bond, James Bond, will soon become Jamie, the binary intel agent who moonlights on the weekends in drag in front of dollar-waving bar hoppers looking for good times. Politically correct wokeness has no business in literature.

Tennessee puts children first with drag queen ban

Tennessee lawmakers just sent a bill to the Republican governor, Bill Lee, that will ban drag queens from performing in front of children. And boy are the drag queens angry. But let's hope more states follow Tennessee's lead, though.

George Soros calls for World Bank to seize reins on climate change

The World Bank in charge of climate policy? Read the writing on the wall. This is the next step of the Great Reset -- the World Economic Forum's vision for total top-down government-by-elites. Those who control the purse strings ultimately hold all the controls.

In this photo provided by Chad Fish, the remnants of a large balloon drift above the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of South Carolina, with a fighter jet and its contrail seen below it, Feb. 4, 2023. A missile fired on Feb. 5 by a U.S. F-22 off the Carolina coast ended the days-long flight of what the Biden administration says was a surveillance operation that took the Chinese balloon near U.S. military sites. It was an unprecedented incursion across U.S. territory for recent decades, and raised concerns among Americans about a possible escalation in spying and other challenges from rival China.

China strong: Ex-Army secretary warns America now ‘the underdog’

Patrick Murphy, former Army secretary, told a national television audience America ought to beware that the United States is actually "the underdog" in any conflict with China that might arise militarily. This is an astonishing turn of events. Blame Democrats.

North Korean defector sounds crucial alarm on communism in America

North Korean defector Yeonmi Park warned that what she saw in her home country -- specifically, what she saw that led her to flee to America -- is now happening here, in the supposed hallowed halls and rooms of Ivy League schooling. Calling Vladimir Lenin.

(Nathan Papes/The Springfield News-Leader via AP)

Doctors are now America’s Public Enemy Number One

Americans were told the COVID-19 shots would stop the spread of the virus. They didn't. Yet the CDC just added COVID shots to the list of recommended vaccines for kids as young as six months. Why? Because doctors have become derelict in their primary duty of "do no harm."

Globalists push for ‘international health regulations’ by 2024

If the bureaucrats in global governance have their way, a new treaty will be in effect by the end of 2024 requiring local communities around the world to go by a total top-down checklist of pandemic response measures. If you thought COVID tyrants were bad, just wait.
