Mike Pence doesn’t faint, proving COVID-19 vaccine both safe and effective

Vice President Mike Pence took to live television to take the coronavirus vaccine in his arm -- and that's some darn good leadership right there, indeed. Moreover, he didn't faint. Even better leadership. 'Cause nothing says "don't follow me!" like a man trying to cut a "follow me, get the vaccine" public health spot who then faints. Like that nurse did in Tennessee.

Pennsylvania face mask mandates failed

Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee poised to buck teachers’ unions

Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, just announced that he wants his state of Washington to open schools for in-person instruction, COVID-19 case counts be danged. Well, case counts almost be danged. In these coronavirus shut-down times, it's practically political blasphemy for a Democrat to acknowledge the failures of online learning.

Barack Obama, a boring boor who can’t stop condemning conservatives

Former President Barack Obama just said that Republicans suck, the Republican Party sucks, all the Republicans in America suck, and that the only smart people in the nation, nay the world, are Democrats and progressives and progressive Democrats. Not in so many words, of course. But it was implied. What a boor. And a bore.

Joe Biden names Pete Buttigieg to ‘Harris-Biden’ Cabinet

In remarks to introduce Pete Buttigieg as the newest member of a Joe Biden White House administration, Biden referenced his looming most diverse Cabinet -- his most diverse "Harris-Biden" Cabinet. Come on, dude. Get with the program.

Anthony Fauci the humanist demands stay-at-home for Christ’s birthday

Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an interview with The Washington Post's "Power Up" team that Christmas "cannot be business as usual" this year because of the coronavirus and that since he's giving up his family gathering in the name of saving America, then all the other Americans out there should do so as well. Give up church, you mean?

China and its ‘global climate governance’ plan

China's Xi Jinping just said that "COVID-19 is triggering deep reflections on the relationship between man and nature" -- so much so that the idea of "global climate governance" is becoming widely accepted. Read the tea leaves. He's talking about global governance via a two-punch fright fight called climate change and COVID-19.

Oops.

In this Saturday, Jan 19, 2019, file photo, a police car sits in front of Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Ky. The news about Karen Pence's teaching job at a Christian school in northern Virginia that lists "homosexual or lesbian sexual activity" as among the disqualifying criteria for prospective employees, was quickly followed by debate over the behavior of boys from this school during a January 2019 visit to Washington. While opinions varied widely as to whether the boys had behaved badly, that incident further fueled debate over faith-based schools and the world view of their students. (AP Photo/Bryan Woolston) ** FILE **

Christian schools poised for persecution

The Association of Christian Schools International just surveyed 730 faith-based facilities about their COVID-19 responses and found that "the vast majority of Christian schools delivered on their promise to reopen in person [this fall] and to do so safely and comprehensively." This makes them Public Enemy Number One to Democrats.

Bill Gates vows COVID-19 tyranny ‘til 2022

Bill Gates, the guy who turned in his Microsoft credentials for a cereal box medical degree that allows him to tell you and me to stay home due to a virus, now tells that you and me will have to stay home until, umm, let's see, 2022. Or so. Tyranny 'til 2022 -- learn it. Live it. Love it. Put it on a bumper sticker and drive it.

COVID-19 tyrants now set sights on Christmas

Watch out. One of Joe Biden's coronavirus advisory board members told CNN that Americans need to give up their Christmas parties in order to help contain the spread of COVID-19. Who died and made these political hacks the keeper of the constitutional rights?

Virginia COVID-19 shutdown is a total farce

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam just issued new coronavirus-tied restrictions that include curfews, tighter mask mandates and more restrictions on indoor and outdoor gatherings -- supposedly because science tells him this is the right thing to do for citizens' safety. Don't believe it. The new shutdowns are based on lies and deceptions.

Thomas Jefferson is being slandered

Falls Church, Virginia, school board officials, citing slavery, just voted to remove the name of Thomas Jefferson from an elementary school, despite the fact the vast majority of citizens were opposed to the idea. Yet another example of ignorance and radical leftism winning a cultural battle.

Eric Swalwell now thinks Donald Trump colluded with Axios

Rep. Eric Swalwell, who couldn't wait to impeach President Donald Trump for false Russia collusion charges, is now shaking off any negative press about his dealings with a Chinese spy by -- get this -- accusing Trump of colluding with the news organization that reported his dealings, Axios. Or maybe it's Axios colluding with Trump.

In America, the default is individual freedom, not government dole-outs

The government, on COVID-19, has gone amok; on that, there is no question. But a question that does arise is this: Who's in charge here, anyway? It's supposed to be the people. COVID-19 has made it the government. And American citizens need to fight, fight, fight on this point or forever cede the notion of rights coming from God.

Jeanine Pirro rips Bill Barr as swamp creature, as U.S. divide grows deeper

This country is rapidly being split into believers versus non-believers. That is to say: If you think this election was tainted by fraud and that President Donald Trump actually won, stand on this side of the country. If you think Joe Biden won and allegations of election fraud are the stuff of conspiracy nonsense, stand on that side.

America, it’s pitchfork time

The list of Democrats who've violated their own COVID-19 scoldings grows long. Chances are, it'll grow longer. It's high time to grab the pitchforks and drive these scourges right out of office.

Joe Biden gets high marks for not drooling

Joe Biden is on a roll -- and if you don't believe that, ask CNN. As Jake Tapper and Don Lemon gushed, here's a guy who gave all the "right answers" during a recent interview. That's code for: Oh my God! He stayed awake the whole time!

Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden band for ridiculous vaccine virtue signal

Three former presidents and the one the media chose for incoming -- Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George Bush and Joe Biden -- have come forth to proudly proclaim they'll take the COVID-19 vaccine in public, for all to see, so all can see there's nothing to see here, no need to worry. Well, isn't that special. And do the American people get to pick a random physician to administer the shot?
