Donald Trump called ‘demonic force’ — seriously?

A columnist with The Week, Damon Linker, just wrote a piece with this title: "Trump is a demonic force in American politics." President Donald Trump is demonic? Seriously? Trump is biblical all right, but not in the way the left sees it. Rather, an Isaiah 5:20 way -- in a "woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil" way.

Socialism just a couple Senate seats away

Sen. Chuck Schumer told a crowd of New Yorkers who were celebrating the idea of a Joe Biden White House that, "Now we take Georgia; then we change the world." Take heed. That's a dark warning.

Joe Biden to force all Americans into face masks

A White House under Joe Biden will call for all Americans to wear face masks, and will pressure governors and mayors and local leaders to enforce his will. Let the regulatory clampdowns begin. Don't say America wasn't warned about the "I am zee law" to come with a Biden administration. This is just the start.

Coronavirus clampdowns begin anew

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has ordered residents to wear masks in public, even when social distancing is possible, and to stay at home between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. -- including certain business owners who normally operate during those hours. The clampdowns are only going to grow worse in the coming months.

Arizona dispute heats, as data guru Nate Silver calls for Fox, AP retraction

Nate Silver, founder of FiveThirtyEight, and a once-upon-a-time darling of the left, said Arizona never should have been called so early for Democrat Joe Biden, and that Fox News and The Associated Press ought to retract their decisions. Yes. While we're at it, how about moving Pennsylvania into the win column for President Donald Trump?

Media need post-election shakeup

If this election shows anything, it's these two things: Pollsters should be fired. By the dozens. And media executives should take the plunge and shake up their staff. By the dozens. Add some conservatives. Add some Christians. Add some people who can tell when the pollsters are spot on or off the mark.

After more than a year of thinly veiled threats that the United States could start pulling troops out of Germany unless the country increases its defense spending to NATO standards, President Donald Trump appears to be going ahead with the hardball approach with a plan to reduce the American military presence in the country by more than 25 percent.

‘Count every ballot’ should include Trump-loving military voters

The Democrats, led by Joe Biden, have been making a campaign case that it's crucial to "count every vote," to keep on counting until "every ballot is counted," until "every vote is counted" -- even if those counts take us into Thursday, Friday, the weekend, and beyond. So: Does that include military ballots, too?

Pollsters, once again, are utterly, completely wrong

CNN's notables, in early morning discussion of election results, nodded and smiled when the subject of polling came up, and pundit S.E. Cupp said this: "I want to caution against calling the death of polling just yet." Wrong. It is the death of polling. It's time for the burial.

Twitter is losing users, just as censorship fatigue hits hard

Twitter tried to subvert the Constitution by using the free market to turn the censoring of conservative thought into a defensible position. And now Americans are using their free-market choices to say goodbye to Twitter. That's called tit for tat. That's called just due. That's called paying the piper.

Joe Biden, fearing evangelicals for Trump, tweets his own Catholic faith

And just like that -- the Democrats have brought out the Bible again. Joe Biden, in a campaign tweet, wrote: "My faith has been my anchor through highs and lows -- a guiding light that taught me the values of honesty, decency, and treating others with respect. As president, it will continue to serve as a source of strength."

Anthony Fauci should’ve been fired long ago

President Donald Trump suggested to a Florida rally crowd he might fire Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, once Election Day has passed. This is called an About Time moment. Fauci should've been fired long ago.

Police, stripped of protection, should do an ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and leave

The police in Washington, D.C., have just been stripped of much of their protective gear -- specifically, their riot gear. Why? Because a man named Karon Hylton, 20, who was driving a moped without a helmet, at times on a sidewalk, was followed by a police cruiser and, while fleeing, crashed into another car and died. Ridiculous.

Bernie Sanders' embrace of "socialism" is rightfully noxious to many Americans, but his anti-oligarchic populism surely is not. (Associated Press/File)

Socialism in new survey again gains favor in America — and here’s why

A new YouGov survey of 2,100 U.S. citizens ages 16 and older finds that the term "socialism" is being regarded with rising favor among America's more youthful population, the Generation Z-ers and millennials, collectively between the ages of 16 and 39. This is horrible. And patriotic Americans, Christians in particular, must fight.

Virginia set to tear down Confederate flag, Robert E. Lee — history

A large Confederate flag that's flown the Interstate 95 skies in Stafford County, Virginia -- and that's been the subject of much heated debate, particularly in recent politically correct times -- will finally be pulled from its post. Chalk this as another historical symbol on the way out, deemed too offensive for public display.

Republican AGs plot path to save America from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris

Republican attorneys general around the nation have been busily gathering and strategizing how to best offset a worst-case scenario this coming Election Day -- a win for Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Just in case -- it's a phrase that saves. And in this case, it's a phrase that marks a preparation to save the nation from socialism.

Americans shouldn’t have to suffer another COVID-19 lockdown

On the coronavirus, President Donald Trump strikes the right tone. His Democratic rival Joe Biden, on the other hand -- well, off the mark is putting is kindly. Off the rails is more like it. Americans, at this point in time, are fearing lockdowns, shutdowns and total economic clampdowns much more than they're fearing the virus.

Donald Trump train chugs as Joe Biden’s sputters

The polls -- the same polls who predicted Hillary Clinton in the White House -- say President Donald Trump is going to lose. The people -- the packs and packs of people who have been turning out for his rallies in 2016-like masses -- suggest otherwise. Apparently, they've not gotten the message?

Kamala Harris dodges socialism to disguise socialism

Sen. Kamala Harris, in a CBS News interview, burst out laughing when she was asked if she'd spend her White House career as vice president serving as an advocate of the "socialist or progressive perspective" in politics. And this is hugely significant because it underscores how socialism sneaks into America.

Bill Gates, software dude, slams Dr. Scott Atlas as COVID ‘pseudo-expert’

Bill Gates, Harvard dropout, Microsoft founder, just slammed Scott Atlas, degreed biologist, degreed medical doctor, former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center -- that's Medical Center with a capital "M" -- as a, get this, "pseudo-expert" on the coronavirus. Hmm. One of these things is not like the other.
