New Year, new human: Meet 2023’s ungodly AI dream

Biden is a huge blessing for the cartels

The tools to suppress the tide of illegals flowing into America are already available. President Biden just has to choose to pick them up and use them. But he won't. And that's because his intent is to destroy American sovereignty and greatness.

The Rev. Franklin Graham said in the lead-up to New Year's that the world is "imploding," wars and violence are everywhere, socialism is spreading, and "anti-God agendas" are coming out of the closet, fast and furious. Be prepared for an even more turbulent 2023, he warned.

Pete Buttigieg, inept and incapable, personifies ‘Democrat’

Transportation's Pete Buttigieg is fielding some much-needed fire for his epic fail to address the airline crisis keeping good citizens in states of various abandonment at airports around the nation. But the most interesting critics are those expressing surprise over his fail-to-act.

Science roars back to Twitter life

Elon Musk, in a tweet, wrote: "New Twitter policy is to follow the science, which necessarily includes reasoned questioning of the science." Finally. Real science -- not the Anthony Fauci brand, but real, actual, genuine science -- is making a comeback.

Democrats are in an uproar after Gov. Greg Abbott sent 130 migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris's home in Washington, D.C., on Christmas Eve, saying the Texas GOPer is "worthless," a "POS," and so forth and so on and so forth. Harris likes her figgy pudding in peace, it seems.

Vaccine passports being developed to verify COVID-19 immunization status and allow inoculated people to more freely travel, shop and dine have become the latest flash point in America’s perpetual political wars, with Republicans portraying them as a heavy-handed intrusion into personal freedom and private health choices.

Social credits, digital passports and other coming totalitarian evils

China's social credit system where individuals cannot move about freely without showing their green, government-approved checkmarks will come to America's lands on the wings of fear, on the hope for safety and security, on the promises of government to provide safety and security.
