A page from the order granting a request by former President Donald Trump's legal team to appoint a special master to review documents seized by the FBI during a search of his Mar-a-Lago estate is photographed Monday, Sept. 5, 2022. The decision by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon came despite the objections of the Justice Department, which said an outside legal expert was not necessary in part because officials had already completed their review of potentially privileged documents.

DOJ water carriers are oh so full of it

Leftists, if nothing else, are astonishingly hypocritical. Just look at how they reacted to District Judge Aileen Cannon and her special master ruling, versus Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart and his signing of the search warrant for Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.

Biden does not represent the dream of America

President Joe Biden, against a blood red background that included a couple parade-rest Marines as part of the visual messaging, delivered an angry condemnation of MAGA conservatives as a "clear and present" danger to America. It's like Biden was channelling his inner Benito Mussolini.

GOP’s ‘impeach Biden’ path grows wider

Some Republicans are trying to impeach President Biden for "high crimes" over his botched withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, his border failures and his tyrannical coronavirus clampdowns. And some other stuff, too; the list keeps growing.

Microchips are being implanted into volunteers to help them open doors and operate office equipment, and its become so popular that members of the Epicenter cyborg club hold regular parties for those with the tiny chips embedded in their hands.

Cashless society steps closer to reality

The percentage of adults in America who use physical dollars and cents for their purchases is dramatically down in recent years, with only 13% saying in a Gallup survey that they use cash "all" or "most" all of the time. Make way for more losses of privacy, for more government controls.

FDA boldly bows to Big Pharma at Americans’ expense

A Wall Street Journal headline went this way: "Latest Covid Boosters Are Set to Roll Out Before Human Testing Is Completed." And with that goes the last of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ethics.

Pages from the affidavit by the FBI in support of obtaining a search warrant for former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate are photographed Friday, Aug. 26, 2022. U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart ordered the Justice Department to make public a redacted version of the affidavit it relied on when federal agents searched Trump's estate to look for classified documents. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick)

Affidavit only adds to image of FBI as tool of the left

The Justice Department released its redacted version of the 38-page affidavit used as justification to search the home of Donald Trump, and as expected, questions remain. Namely: Why did the FBI have to search the home of Donald Trump in the first place? We still don't know.

Free mortgages will be next

Joe Biden announced a sweeping student loan forgiveness program that wipes out tens of thousands of dollars. More socialism, more socialism, more socialism in American society. Biden didn't really cancel debt. He only redistributed the debt to hard-working Americans.

Striking Ohio teachers should be fired

Just days before classes are due to start, teachers for Ohio's largest school district, Columbus City, voted to go on strike. They should just stay out there. What this country needs is a good old-fashioned mass firing of unionized teachers. Call it a Ronald Reagan Redux, with a twist.

Joe Biden burning down the house

Three of four Americans -- about 75% -- think the nation, under Joe Biden's presidential leadership, is headed down the wrong path. So much for Biden's promised "build back better." He's not building anything. Quite the opposite: He's burning down the house.

Joe Biden to host anti-conservative summit

President Joe Biden said he's going to host a summit at the White House next month to address and put a stop to hate-fueled violence in the United States. Call this the Democrats' next step toward silencing conservatives in America.

Loser Liz Cheney — bless her heart — sees White House as option

Rep. Liz Cheney conceded her congressional race with a speech laced with lofty Civil War references, took to NBC's "Today" show to talk about her loss and then said yes, she was indeed "thinking about" a run for the White House. Bless her heart, as the southern folk like to say.

Sycophants, unite! It’s Trump-hunting time

With Mar-a-Lago, leftists have shown how far they're willing to go to kill the American spirit. So take a warning; learn a lesson. Hide the laptops, bury the personal safes, wear clean pajamas when climbing into bed at night. It's a dangerous deep state-police state world out there.

Afghanistan burns and Biden turns blind eyes

It's been about a year since the Joe Biden administration ceded Afghanistan to Taliban members who in turn promised the new nation would be free, even for women. Today? Today the nation burns while Biden turns blind eyes.

GOP, in FBI raid, gets a golden election egg

Republicans seeking office this November already had polls at their back, putting them in lead of many, if not most, of their Democrat contenders. But the FBI's highly suspect raid on Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago home has handed Republicans a golden egg.

Merrick Garland had some ‘splainin’ to do — but didn’t

Merrick Garland on TV took responsibility for giving the approval that unleashed the FBI search dogs at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago address -- then went on to insist that his federal search dogs are tops in professionalism and the American people should not worry about that.

Whole Foods CEO John Mackey warns ‘socialists are taking over’

Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey warned in a recent interview that socialists seem to be "taking over" America and that government incentives based on coronavirus fears have fueled a nation of younger people primarily who "don't seem to want to work." Shop Whole Foods.

America’s dark age of guilty until proven innocent

It's beginning to smell a lot like George Orwell out there. The fictional book "1984" had its Ministry of Truth, committed to telling lies; President Biden's America has its Department of Justice and its federal law enforcement.

Pelosi drums bogus COVID fear to extend remote voting

Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to congressional lawmakers saying members can vote absentee on matters before the House because -- get this -- of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID. It's the gift to leftists that keeps on giving.
