America’s ultimate war is God-given vs. government-granted

Americans are born into their rights, which are given -- freely, no less -- by an all-powerful, all-sovereign God. So as America's belief in, regard for and reliance upon God goes, so goes America's political, cultural, educational and economic structures.

Dr. Fauci pitches next vaccine — or does he?

Dr. Anthony Fauci said it's "prudent" to "prepare" a vaccine that specifically targets omicron. Then in the next breath, he said it's not necessarily necessary. And with that, bam -- Fauci brings his trademark flip-floppiness to America's COVID-19 stage.

Jen Psaki — Janitor Jen — can’t clean up Biden’s messes

President Biden is so low in the polls that even his friends in the media are warning of voter backlash and clean sweeps of Republican wins in the coming elections. But change? Nope. Biden bungles; Janitor Jen Psaki rushes to clean up his messes. Nary a change in direction comes. Nor will it.

American Airlines throws face mask hissy fit

An American Airlines plane headed to London was more than hour into its flight when its pilot decided to turn around and head back to the departure point, Miami, because a female passenger declined to wear a face mask. What a petty, unnecessary move.

Biden: Mask-less, hypocritical, incoherent, odd

President Biden took to the White House podium for a rare press conference, sporting an even rarer look -- a face absent a mask. And then he went on to say he's united the country, did a terrific job in Afghanistan and is not -- not! no matter what people say -- not Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Biden face mask giveaway a tax-paid treat for China

President Biden is planning to give away 400 million N95 face masks to the American people as a means of fighting the spread of the coronavirus and its variants. That's "give" in quotation marks, of course. The federal government does not "give" anything away. Taxpayers do.

Biden radicalism sends Democrat voters fleeing

In 2021, roughly 49 percent of Americans claimed allegiance to the Democratic Party, while about 40 percent leaned Republican. Fast-forward a few months and the picture has quite changed: 47 percent say they're Republican; 42 percent, Democrat. Seismic, meet shift.

Supreme Court vaccine rulings fail to recognize God-given rights

The Supreme Court, in a moment of supreme lucidity, slapped down Joe Biden's presidential attempt to use a federal agency to bend private companies' to his executive will, via OSHA. That's great. But the split rulings fail to recognize a core American principle: God-given rights.

America wins when Joe Biden loses

President Joe Biden has had a very bad week. That means America, at least the part of America that still believes in individual liberties and the Constitution, have had a very good week.

Who is Ray Epps? Who is John Galt?

Who is Ray Epps? -- Sen. Ted Cruz asked. Who is John Galt? -- might as well have been the FBI's Jill Sanborn's answer. That's like saying, a la Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged"-like, "Who knows?" or "Why ask me -- how would I know?" A simple yes or no should suffice.

Dr. Fauci tips hubris hat with ‘moron’ slam of senator

Dr. Anthony Fauci was captured in a hot mic moment calling Sen. Roger Marshall a "moron" because he didn't like being questioned about his COVID-tied financial disclosures. This says all Americans need to know about Fauci. Arrogant, disrespectful, condescending to the core.

Former President Donald Trump speaks during his Save America rally in Perry, Ga., Sept. 25, 2021. A resurgent GOP is poised to reclaim one, if not both, chambers of Congress and retain its lock on dozens of state legislatures and governor’s offices. The turnaround — which is expected but far from assured — is fueled by an unpopular Joe Biden presidency, deep frustration with the lingering pandemic and fresh concerns about inflation, as well as the GOP having history on its side.

Donald Trump keeps on winning with minorities

If Donald Trump were to face off against Joe Biden today, minorities by a wide margin would choose Trump, according to a survey conducted by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports. That's astonishing -- right? No. Only to those who get their news from CNN et al.

Michelle Obama enters politics with vengeance, bent on revenge

Former first lady Michelle Obama is partnering her foundation with 30 other groups to register a million new voters before the midterms. It's go time for the left. Her entry into election politicking guarantees this fight over the Electoral College is the Dems' signature campaign issue this year.

COVID-19 stats finally take turn to truth

Massachusetts announced that hospitals in the state will start to distinguish between patients who are admitted because of COVID-19 versus patients who happen to test positive for COVID-19, but have been admitted for some other health ailment. Wow. Truth-telling. What an idea.
