Robert Redfield, CDC chief, is confusing the heck out of everybody on face masks

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield, in a hearing before the U.S. Senate, said face masks are better than any old vaccine in protecting against the coronavirus, and that every man, woman and child in America ought to get used to wearing one, but quick. And then the next day he walked back his remarks.

The city of Minneapolis plans to spend $4.8 million to temporarily rent an office building and adapt it to replace the precinct headquarters that burned during unrest following the death of George Floyd.

Minneapolis Marxists now cry at the Marxism they brought

Minneapolis City Council, eat crow. In the face of rising crime, the socialist local body -- the ones who spent oh-so-long trying to replace police with some sort of soft and fuzzy enforcement team armed only with "Time Out" cards to slap on criminals -- in the face of real crime hazards, these guys now want to cry for the police.

Michael Caputo, HHS spox, sounds jaw-dropping alarm on looming civil war

HHS spokesman Michael Caputo delivered some bombshell advice to Americans that went like this: Buy ammo. 'Cause when Donald Trump wins reelection, his Democratic rival Joe Biden won't concede. Then Caputo accused scientists within the CDC of using the coronavirus to unite in "resistance" against Trump. And guess what: Caputo actually makes sense.

Muslims unite in anger at Netflix ‘Cuties’

The Council on American-Islamic Relations released a statement condemning Netflix's "Cuties" show as exploitative of girls and offensive to Muslims, and called for its removal from the television platform. Title this One Of The Few Times Christians And Muslims Agree.

Black Lives Matter is the Kate Steinle of 2020

Read the tea leaves. Test the political winds. Smell the smoke of Molotov cocktails in the air. President Donald Trump is on a sure and steady path to win reelection. Why? Two words: Kate. Steinle. The lawlessness that marked the era of Kate Steinle is a precursor to the lawlessness marking the era of Black Lives Matter.

Whitmer on Thursday sharply criticized President Donald Trump following revelations that he had purposely downpla yed the deadly coronavirus, calling it "devastating" news and Trump the "biggest threat" to Americans.(Michigan Office of the Governor via AP)

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer faces loss of power

Nearly 400,000 Michigan residents have signed a petition to reel in the executive authorities of their state's governor, the Democrat Gretchen Whitmer, over her abuse of power under umbrella of coronavirus protections. Good. She needs the slap-down.

November election about sovereignty, independence, individual freedom

For years, those warning of the perils and pitfalls of a New World Order and its effect on American sovereignty and freedom have been painted as conspiracy theorists, tin foil hat-wearers. But the so-called conspiracists are right. Vote out Trump this November and watch the globalist vultures swoop.

CDC roasted for smoky #wildfire mask advice

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a tweet, wrote: "Wearing cloth masks in public can help slow the spread of #COVID19, but cloth masks won't protect you from small particles in #wildfire smoke. Limit your time outside when it's smoky." And all the Twitter followers go: LOL.

ACLU makes dangerously evil case for legal prostitution

The American Civil Liberties Union has called for "sex work" -- prostitution -- to be decriminalized to protect prostitutes from police harassment and to open the doors for them to receive health care benefits. This is dangerous. Why not just put some children on the auction block for sex traffickers to buy?

Churches on the rise!

The Founding Fathers were clear on this point: Government has no right to interfere in the free worship of citizens. No, not even for a new coronavirus. Government especially has no right to interfere in the free worship of citizens while at the same time allowing violence to take place in the streets under the guise of First Amendment rights.

Joe Biden finally finds copy of Constitution on mask mandates

Add this to the list of Reasons Not To Vote For Joe Biden: He no longer thinks a national mask mandate would be a good idea. It's not that he thinks national mask mandates are wrong. It's that he ever thought masks as a national mandate could ever fly in the first place.

Donald Trump’s accusers need to come out of the shadows

This is not a Watergate, people. This is watercooler gossip. These anonymous sources need to come out of the shadows -- or go unpublished. As it is, they're cowards being sheltered by biased anti-Trumpers in the media.

Joe Biden bumbles into moment of awkward truth

Joe Biden stumbled into an awkward moment of truth on the campaign trail in Kenosha, saying he'd like to stick around and talk a while longer but -- his words, perhaps in reference to the thuggish types walking the streets -- "they'll shoot me." Well, welcome to the world of Democratic leadership, Joe. Even Biden's afraid of the left.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gestures while speaking about her visit to a hair salon during a news conference at the Mission Education Center Elementary School Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2020, in San Francisco. Pelosi said she takes responsibility for trusting the word of a San Francisco hair salon she's visited over the years when it told her it was OK to come in for a solo visit this week, even though the city still does not allow indoor beauty services. (AP Photo/Eric Risberg)

Nancy Pelosi hair salon flap shows crisis of political arrogance

The Founding Fathers never intended this country to be governed by separate sets of rules for the masses -- by policies and practices that elevated certain classes above certain others and awarded special privileges to some, but not to others. Nancy Pelosi would disagree.

Joe Biden campaign already in the dumps

It's tough to campaign for the highest office in the land, nay the world, when half your supporters want you to stay invisible, and the other half visibly nervously bite nails when you're in public.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson face D.C. eviction

A country that stands for nothing will fall for anything. The more the America haters and America apologists wipe, smear and erase America's history, the less America stands as a nation. With no identity, no roots, there is no clear future.

People wait inside their vehicles in line at a COVID-19 testing site Wednesday, July 8, 2020, in Houston. Texas has surpassed 10,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day for the first time as a resurgence of the outbreak rages across the U.S. The record high of 10,028 confirmed cases Tuesday follows Republican Gov. Greg Abbott decision to mandate masks in much of the state and to close bars, retreating from what had been one of America’s fastest reopenings. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)

Crazy bogus thing called coronavirus death counts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just said: "For 6% of the deaths" due to the coronavirus, "COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned" by authorities. There's an "are you kidding me!" screaming moment for ya.

America’s sports are ruined by politics

Politics has already ruined sports. Thank you, Colin Kaepernick, for the pig socks and the bended knee. But that was the kickoff, some years back. It's been joy-destroying, fun-killing, nearly non-stop field politicking since.
