Texas turned down Dominion voting software — and that’s no conspiracy theory

One line of logic being slung by the scoffers of President Donald Trump's election challenges goes like this: that's conspiracy talk -- particularly the part about the Dominion voting system. But Texas rejected the very Dominion software that's at the heart of attorney Sidney Powell's investigation into ballot-counting fraud. Three times.

Socialists at U.N. giddy at gift of Joe Biden

For four years, the United Nations has been constrained by the Donald Trump administration's America First, U.N. not at all policies. That's all about to change.

This April 26, 2017, file photo shows the Twitter app icon on a mobile phone in Philadelphia. Twenty-six words tucked into a 1996 law overhauling telecommunications have allowed companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google to grow into the giants they are today. Those are the words President Donald Trump challenged in an executive order Thursday, May 28, 2020 one that would strip those protections if those companies engaged in “editorial decisions” — like, for instance, adding a fact-check warning to one of Trump's tweets.

Donald Trump makes bold play to strip Section 230 from Big Tech

President Donald Trump in a late-night tweet made clear Section 230 shields for "Big Tech" has to go, or the National Defense Authorization Act with all its funding for the military won't pass. It's about time all the talk, talk, talk about Section 230 and the need to repeal is finally making it to the walk.

Election results have more holes than Swiss cheese

Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the House, said bluntly that the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump by minions of the left, supporters of socialism, defenders of the Democratic Party -- which is to be redundant, i.e., the socialists. Meanwhile, the more analysis comes, the more Gingrich shows as right.

Joe Biden and his fractured foot of weakness

This is America's next president -- the old white guy wrapped in a permanent face cloth who can barely finish his sentences and whose bones are apparently unable to withstand the pressures of canine play. The world watches. The anti-America world rubs hands in glee.

Tyrannical governors are giving the Tenth Amendment a bad name

The Tenth Amendment states that "powers not delegated ... nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." That's supposed to be a comfort for citizens, to keep the big boot of federal government at bay. Tyrannical governors are using the 10th to their tyrannical advantage, though.

COVID-19 vaccines’ scary side effects must not be dismissed

Dr. Anthony Fauci may be pressing for "as many people as possible" to get vaccinated -- Bill Gates may be on a "quest to vaccinate the world," as The New York Times put it in a headline. But American citizens should know: The side effects from the coming COVID-19 vaccines are proving pretty freaking substantial.

Andrew Cuomo the latest COVID-19 hypocrite

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was going to have his two adult daughters along with his 89-year-old mother travel to his Albany home for Thanksgiving -- but then the cries of hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite started, and he was forced to change his plans.

Election fraud to any degree destroys trust

The conversation that's going forward right now about President Donald Trump's investigation into election fraud goes like this: But it's not enough to flip the final results. Well, that's a flipping weak argument to halt the investigation.

Barack Obama once again signals conservatives are stupid

The problem with the Republican Party, said former President Barack Obama, is "the attitudes of the base" -- meaning, the conservatives who refuse to cave to Democrats. It's Hillary Clinton's baskets full of deplorables all over again.

Teachers’ unions continue to abuse children

Defying coronavirus science, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, and common sense about where this dangerous path will lead, the teachers' unions continue to call for the closing of America's schools and the continuance of home-based online teaching of students. It's abuse, pure and simple. It's abuse of children.

Colin Kaepernick goes full radical with call to free cop killer

Well, the circle is complete, as they say. Colin Kaepernick, football player turned activist, has moved from wearing pig police socks and kneeling during the national anthem to outright calling for the release of cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal from prison.

Gavin Newsom the hypocrite punishes Californians with curfew

Show the governor in a bad light -- and you will pay. That's the message sent Californians' way after a photo that outed Gov. Gavin Newsom as a face mask-less, non-social distancing partying hypocrite surfaced, and shortly after, he ordered state residents to obey a curfew.

United Nations using COVID-19 to take over the world

The United Nations has a campaign called "sustainable development" that includes 17 goals to make the planet a better place for all -- namely, by placing the governing of the planet into the hands of a few bureaucrats at the top of the global chain. And they're using the coronavirus to speed up the take-over of the world.

Democrats always guilty of what they accuse

The former president, Barack Obama, during a "60 Minutes" segment, came out and compared President Donald Trump to a dictator for failing to concede to the media-called election of Joe Biden to the White House. Well, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. Obama was about the most "I am zee law" president this country's seen.

Socialism in America didn’t spring up overnight

Leftists in Congress like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn't spring up overnight. They're the product of the unfortunate, embarrassing and disturbing result of an America long adrift, particularly in its public schools.

Democrats, you created AOC — now deal with her

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn't belong in American politics because she's an open socialist, and no socialist belongs in American politics because they can't truthfully take the oath of office to uphold and protect the Constitution. They just can't; that's a fact. Socialism is not compatible with the U.S. Constitution.

Christians, it’s beginning to look a lot like the end

Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, is calling on Christians to get bolder, louder and more involved in policy and politics, or else face the consequences of a rapidly secularizing America -- meaning the demise and degradation and loss of freedom and individual rights. This, in a nutshell, is the key to keeping America free.
