Science has flown the coop

Once upon a coronavirus time, Americans were told to just follow the science -- that the science was true and the science was pure and that it was the science and only the science that would lead to freedom and safety and normalcy. It was such a nice fantasy, while it lasted, yes?

Biden sure can wield an ice cream cone

President Biden celebrated national ice cream day by posing for a selfie with a large cone in his hand and posting it to social media. Not a great look for a president who's already struggling with a perception that screams "weak."

Attorneys are failing America

In a proper American world, the courts would be overfilled right now with class action fights against coronavirus vaccine mandates -- against employers, against colleges, against entertainment directors trying to force the shot onto unwilling citizens. But they're not.

Dr. Fauci strangely silent on sudden death of vaccinated boy, 13

Dr. Anthony Fauci wants America to know that the coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective, and everyone over the age of 12 should get the shot. Just don't talk about that little 13-year-old Michigan boy who died in his sleep three days after receiving his second Pfizer vaccine dose.

Biden’s voting lies

President Biden, in a speech from Philadelphia, characterized those who want to tighten state voting laws as Ku Klux Klan types. It's what Democrats do -- accuse others of that which they themselves are guilty. Biden was lying his butt off so he had to point to others as lying.

What’s up with this vaccine?

As if a good percentage of America weren't already reluctant to take a COVID-19 shot that's still only authorized for emergency use -- meaning, still experimental, still needful of vetting -- now come the tyrants.

Cuba is the dream of the Democrats

If only Democrats would listen to the throngs of anti-communist protesters marching through Cuba right now -- perhaps then they'd quit their own socialist-slash-communist leanings and pleadings and get with the liberty playbook program. But they won't.

Biding Biden time ‘til Trump returns

Former President Donald Trump's CPAC numbers saw him with 70% of the straw poll ballots, far more than second-place -- and star-in-his-own-right -- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, with 21%. With the weak one in the White House, it's beginning to seem like America's just biding time until Trump returns.

(T.J. Kirkpatrick/The New York Times via AP, Pool)

Anthony Fauci is everything that’s wrong in America

Anthony Fauci, from his perch on MSNBC, told the unvaccinated American public to "get over this political statement," get on board the vaccine wagon and for the good of the country, get the shot. He is everything that's wrong in America.

This photo provided by Twitter shows a screen that show labels warning about misinformation. After its labels on election-related misinformation became a regular sighting in the weeks leading up to and following the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Twitter is now working on overhauling them in an attempt to make them more useful and easier to notice, among other things. Beginning Thursday, July 1, 2021, the company is taking comments from its U.S. users on the redesigns. (Twitter via AP)

Twitter treats IED-scarred veteran like dirt

Sam Brown, an Army veteran whose face was scarred by a bomb that exploded while he served in Afghanistan in 2008, posted a photo of himself in uniform, saluting, alongside the slogan, "Freedom isn't free" -- and Twitter quickly flagged it as "potentially sensitive content."

Trump brings the winning message with Big Tech lawsuit

This is a winning issue for Trump. It's a real "give the people what they want" moment. Conservative Americans are ticked off at smug social media giants that smugly silence voices who don't follow the left's talking points.

With the U.S. falling short of President Joe Biden's goal of having 70% of all American adults at least partially vaccinated by the Fourth of July, public health officials in places like Spencer County, have shifted the emphasis. (AP Photo/Dylan Lovan)

White House floats more coronavirus clampdowns

Politically speaking, forcing Americans who don't want to get vaccinated is a win for Democrats because Democrats, by and large, are already vaccinated and think the rest of America should be vaccinated, as well. By hook or by crook. By pressure or by force. By carrot and by stick.

Biden, resident PINO: President In Name Only

A new poll from the Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group found that nearly 57% of American voters think President Biden is a PINO -- President In Name Only -- and that others, other forces, other sources, are actually in charge.

Kirstie Alley blasts coming culture of ‘pedophilia’

In a tweet that didn't take long to gather social media steam, Kirstie Alley, Hollywood's female braveheart -- brave, 'cause she's openly conservative -- wrote: "People are becoming so 'open minded' that" soon enough "they will support pedophilia" as simple shows of love to children.

Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts demise no surprise

Both the Boy Scouts of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA have reported massive one-year drops in memberships. And given the social and cultural shifts of these groups over the past few years, the exodus is hardly surprising.

Democrats seek perpetual coronavirus control

President Biden's White House has taken a look at the delta variant of the coronavirus, given a listen to the World Health Organization's latest advice and summarily concluded: More people will die -- "you know it's going to happen," he said. This is the Democrats' way of paving the path toward perpetual lockdowns.
