Democrats — uh-oh! Voters don’t want kids taught porn

Voters by a vast majority think kids should be sheltered from pornographic materials in their school libraries, and that parents have a right to know that the teachers are teaching, according to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports. Democrats -- uh-oh. There goes your midterm hopes.

Hurricane Ian, to Democrats, a chance to score political points

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, just hours before one of Florida's worst weather events was due to strike, said of her party's work on climate change: "That's why we've got to win this as that hurricane bears down on Florida. We've got to win in the midterms." Never let a crisis go to waste?

Socialist Bernie Sanders still eyes White House

Sen. Bernie Sanders, independent by name but socialist by game, said he hasn't yet decided on another run for the White House in 2024. That figures. He barely can decide on a political party. How could he possibly know if he wants to run the country or not?

Sexualizing youth is America’s great, growing evil

A school in Newburyport, Massachusetts, has made available to students via its library shelves a book called "This Book is Gay," with a subject matter that teaches how to use online sex apps. Subtitle it "porn for kiddies." A few years ago, this would've been considered criminal.

GOP’s ‘Commitment to America’ should be God-given rights

So House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy unveiled a new Republican guiding document called the "Commitment to America." Well and good. But the best commitment the GOP could make is to recognize the God-given rights that each and every American is supposedly afforded.

Air Force goes full throttle pansy

Air Force cadets are being told to stop using words like "mom" and "dad" to describe their moms and dads because "some families" have "two moms, two dads" and it's best to "include all genders," even the made-up ones, it seems. Yet one more example of America's woke military.

Donald Trump’s persecutors ratchet up persecution

New York AG Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, his children, and the Trump Organization, alleging all fraudulently inflated the value of properties. Why are the Democrats so bent on destroying this family? You'd think Trump was running for president or something.

Biden talks softly, as Putin carries big stick

Joe Biden is a lot of things -- husband, father, president of the United States, commander-in-chief of America's military forces. But strong leader, he ain't. And few know that better than Russian President Vladimir Putin, who's been busily invading Ukraine these past months.

Virginia schools, under GOP control, sideline LGBTQ insanity

American Exceptionalism at risk as Christianity losing ranks

Operation ‘Trump Takedown’ swings into high gear

Only a few more weeks are left before the November midterms and Democrats are swept from office. So the deep state has swung into high gear to take down as many MAGA-types as possible -- the latest, of course, being Mike Lindell. Welcome to the new America.

Hey, did you hear the one about the MAGA man who fatally stabbed a journalist who had been investigating his scandalous behaviors? No. You didn't. 'Cause that never happened. What did happen, though, was just that -- only the suspected knife-wielder was a Democratic politician.

Geraldo Rivera, gimme a break

Geraldo Rivera of Fox News fame took to social media to backstab, er, fault Donald Trump for his "undermine" of America's "faith in our elections," and said: "Without fealty to the Constitution, we're 2d rate." Say hello to Geraldo, America's Constitution expert. Not.
