Mike Pompeo reminds: ‘1,327 days’

Move over, James Brennan. Stay quiet, Mitt Romney. Stick to Netflix and Bruce Springsteen podcasts Barack Obama. This is how you do a Twitter feed as a former high-ranking member of government. "1,327 days," tweeted Mike Pompeo, secretary of State for President Donald Trump.

Rand Paul gets gold star for taking on Anthony Fauci

In the world of COVID-19, it's the medical bureaucrats who've emerged as the voices who can never be questioned -- and that's a constitutional travesty, pure and simple. America is indeed paying a civil rights' price. So thank goodness for Sen. Rand Paul.

Migrants stand in line after being released from U.S. Customs and Border Protection custody at a bus station, Wednesday, March 17, 2021, in Brownsville, Texas. Team Brownsville, a humanitarian group, is helping the migrants reach their final destination in the U.S. A surge of migrants on the Southwest border has the Biden administration on the defensive. An official says U.S. authorities encountered nearly double the number children traveling alone across the Mexican border in one day this week than on an average day last month.

Joe Biden could stop the border breach if he wanted

President Biden is facing a crisis situation at the border, with a reported 13,000 -- and growing -- number of unaccompanied minors in federal custody. And he could stop it. But he won't. He won't even agree that 13,000 unaccompanied children at the border is a crisis.

George Soros, Open Society in hot water in Myanmar

Myanmar reported a staffer affiliated with the Open Society Foundations has been detained on allegations of financial misconduct. This is what happens when billionaire meddlers like George Soros meddle with other nations' governments: They risk angering other nations' governments.

Joe Biden — stop the presses! — to hold news conference

President Biden, through his press secretary Jen Psaki, announced he is going to hold a new conference on, ba dum dum, dum, March 25. The fact this makes national news as an event to promote is an underscore of the weakness of this president.

In this Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, file photo, President Joe Biden pauses as he signs his first executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. On Friday, Feb. 12, 2021, The Associated Press reported on a manipulated photo circulating online incorrectly asserting it shows Biden asleep in his seat at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office with a stack of executive orders in front of him. Biden’s head in the post comes from a 2011 event where he appears to briefly doze off as former President Barack Obama delivered a speech on the national debt. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)

Democrats on warpath to crumble America

Executive order after executive order. Open borders. Gun control. Trillion dollar stimulus giveaways on top of multitrillion-dollar debt. Now tax hikes? At this rate, by the end of the year, America as we know it will be no more. America the free? Try America like Venezuela.

People surround a car as it arrives carrying food donations at a makeshift camp for migrants seeking asylum in the United States at the border crossing Friday, March 12, 2021, in Tijuana, Mexico. The Biden administration hopes to relieve the strain of thousands of unaccompanied children coming to the southern border by terminating a 2018 Trump-era order that discouraged potential family sponsors from coming forward to house the children.

Joe Biden has created a border mess

President Joe Biden told wanna-be border crossers to wait a bit -- don't come just yet -- and with that, opened the doors wide for border crossers. It's the caveat that counted most. To the masses, the message was: Don't worry; you'll get in. Eventually, you'll get in.

Jose Rosas and his wife, Sara, who live in the 90060 zip code, wait in line to be screened for high temperature before being vaccinated at the St. John's Well Child and Family Center just-opened COVID-19 vaccination site at the East Los Angeles Civic Center in Los Angeles, Thursday, March 4, 2021. California will begin setting aside 40% of all vaccine doses for the state's most vulnerable neighborhoods in an effort to inoculate people most at risk from the coronavirus more quickly. The doses will be spread among 400 ZIP codes where there are about 8 million people eligible for shots. Advocates for health and racial justice cheered the move given the disproportionate number of cases and deaths among Latinos. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

Americans may finally be corona-weary

A Morning Consult poll found that for the first time in a year, when the coronavirus hit, more Americans than not feel comfortable eating at a restaurant, inside, at a table, seated among friends and strangers both. America may finally be hitting the stage called corona-weary.

In this Sept. 24, 2013, file photo, Courtney Keating, education coordinator of The Literacy Center in Evansville, Ind., reads "If I Ran the Zoo," By Dr. Seuss, to passersby during an event to promote literacy along the Evansville Riverfront. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the business that preserves and protects the author and illustrator's legacy, announced on his birthday, Tuesday, March 2, 2021, that it would cease publication of several children's titles including "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo," because of insensitive and racist imagery. (Erin McCracken/Evansville Courier & Press via AP, File)

Dr. Seuss censorship sets impossible standard

If Dr. Seuss is the standard by which all authors are to be judged, make way for the book burnings. And bring lots of firewood. Because if Dr. Seuss and his cartoonish characters can't pass the anti-racism muster of the faces of the left, how can Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?"

In this Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021, file photo, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo speaks during a press conference before the opening of a mass COVID-19 vaccination site in the Queens borough of New York. A former aides allegations that Gov. Cuomo subjected her to an unwanted kiss during years of sexual harassment have spurred calls for an investigation and questions about who might meaningfully conduct one.

Nancy Pelosi throws Andrew Cuomo under bus

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dropped a bit of a bombshell on Sunday with a statement that said the sexual harassment accusations against Gov. Andrew Cuomo are "credible" and worthy of investigation. Tire, meet Cuomo's face.

In this June 24, 2020, file photo, Antonio Mingo, of Washington, right, holds his fists in the air as demonstrators protest in front of a police line on a section of 16th Street that's been renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, following the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis. A financial snapshot shared exclusively with The Associated Press shows the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation took in just over $90 million last year. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

Black Lives Matter disturbingly mum on donors

Black Lives Matter -- the foundation -- raked in more than $90 million in donations in 2020, proving itself to be a major player in the political world then, now and, with Democrats holding all the positions of D.C. power, likely into the foreseeable future. So why the secrecy on donors?

Naomi Wolf: Too little, too late — too disingenuous

Much ado is being made about ex-Clinton adviser and Joe Biden voter Naomi Wolf's explosive warning on Fox about the turning of this nation into a "totalitarian state" -- and it's not about nothing. But why doesn't the left ever heed the warnings before the 12th hour approaches?

Military gives clues of experimental nature of COVID-19 vaccine

Get the coronavirus vaccination -- it's safe, it's effective, it's the way back to pre-pandemic normalcy. Those are the lines; these are the arguments. But consider this. If the coronavirus vaccines were all that safe and secure, then why isn't the military mandating it for troops?

A Coca-Cola sign hangs outside a Coca-Cola distributor, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2021, in Bedford, Ohio. The resurgent coronavirus slowed Coca-Cola’s recovery in the fourth quarter, and the company said the slump has continued through the first months of this year. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak)

Coca-Cola is racist, but so is Pepsi

Coca-Cola is facing significant backlash for a company-wide diversity training call for staffers to "try to be less white." But if you think the alternative is Pepsi -- think again. PepsiCo has been embroiled in some pretty racist messaging itself.

UN agency Joe Biden to fund teaches school kids Israel is evil

UNRWA, an agency that's supposed to provide health, education and social services to select populations, has been just caught -- again -- pushing through schools via online materials that Israel is basically the devil. This is the agency President Joe Biden wants to resume funding.

Joe Biden sets sail to sink America on globalism

Hello, United Nations. Goodbye, America First. The nation, under President Joe Biden, is rapidly swerving toward globalism. Globalism and diplomacy at all costs on foreign affairs.
