Donald Trump is the wall against anti-American globalism

If President Donald Trump doesn't win this November, and former Vice President Joe Biden takes over the White House, then it's goodbye America, hello globalism. Goodbye America, hello new world order. It doesn't get any clearer than that.

The government's small business lending program has benefited millions of companies, with the goal of minimizing the number of layoffs Americans have suffered in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Yet the recipients include many you probably wouldn't have expected. West’s clothing-and-sneaker brand Yeezy received a loan of between $2 million and $5 million, according to the data released by Treasury. The company employed 106 people in mid-February before the pandemic struck. (AP Photo/Michael Wyke, File)

Kanye West and the great PPP bamboozle

Kanye West is a billionaire -- and not the quiet kind. The loud, look-at-me, I've got a billion bucks to my name kind. The bragging, boasting, I-just-confirmed-a-deal-for-a mega-mansion-in-Wyoming kind. He's also the recipient of a multimillion dollar taxpayer-funded PPP business loan. Call it the great PPP bamboozle.

DeSean Jackson’s anti-Semitic posts show troubling double standard

Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on social media and posted some outrageous anti-Semitic comments attributed to Adolph Hitler and the response from the collective in the left-leaning media and activist and political worlds was: yawn. Oh Democrats, thy name is hypocrisy. Where is the loud leftist calls for apology?

In this Monday, March 9, 2020, file photo, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, second left, director-general of the World Health Organization, speaks during a news conference on updates regarding the new coronavirus at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. At left is Michael Ryan, executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies program, and at third left is Maria van Kerkhove, technical lead of WHO's Health Emergencies program. Two days later, the WHO declared the new coronavirus a pandemic, suggesting the disease is spreading across the globe unchecked. WHO staffers debated how to press China for gene sequences and detailed patient data without angering authorities, worried about losing access and getting Chinese scientists into trouble.

Scientists long ago exhausted their COVID-19 capital

Hundreds of scientists have joined forces and penned a letter to the World Health Organization chiefs to get an official, authoritative ruling that the new coronavirus is airborne, meaning transmitted by breathing contaminated air. Well, ba dum dum on that. Salt, meet grain. Why should we listen to these charlatans any longer?

Donald Trump’s garden of heroes good — but civics class is better

The new National Garden of American Heroes proposed by President Donald Trump is a patriotic and interesting idea. But better would be if Trump used his executive powers to compel public schools around the nation to teach civics' classes, or else lose funding.

In this March 29, 2020, file photo, a protester faces police officers in downtown in Portland, Ore. Portland, Oregon, a liberal city with a reputation for full-throated and frequent protests, is reeling from the nightly chaos in its streets and on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, its visibly frustrated police chief appealed to residents to help stop "those who are holding our city with violence." For five consecutive nights, smaller groups of demonstrators have broken off from peaceful and well-organized protests that have attracted thousands and engaged with police into the wee hours.

America groans under the weight of disunity

The discord in this country has reached eerily high levels in recent times, and it's a wonder if amicable relations among differing communities, differing demographics, differing cultures can ever be restored.

Jesus as lesbian is Hollywood’s next affront

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, has a starring role in an upcoming movie, "Habit," as the character of Jesus -- as a lesbian. Could the assault on Christianity grow more ridiculous?

Socialism and secularism linked at the choke point

As former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn noted in an excellent op-ed: It's a battle of principalities taking place out there, all right, and the sooner freedom-loving Americans recognize these "dark forces" as the true enemy, the sooner freedom-loving Americans can get on with the business of winning back the country.

Artwork stands on a wall Sunday, June 28, 2020, in Seattle, representing the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis, in an area where several streets are blocked off in what has been named the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest zone. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan met with demonstrators Friday after some lay in the street or sat on barricades to thwart the city's effort to dismantle the protest zone that has drawn scorn from President Donald Trump and a lawsuit from nearby businesses. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

Jenny Durkan, decrying socialist lawlessness, now reaps what she sows

Seattle's Jenny Durkan, the Democrat who let thugs take over city streets has accused City Council socialist Kshama Sawant of inciting behavior that led to a swarming of demonstrators inside City Hall and at Durkan's own home. And she wants an investigation; for Sawant to possibly be expelled. This is about as tit-for-tat as it gets.

In this June 18, 2020, file photo a discarded face mask and cigarette butt litter the sidewalk outside the Eastern Market in Washington. On Friday, June 26, Vice President Mike Pence said Americans should look to their state and local leadership for modeling their behavior during the coronavirus pandemic. The comments only days after President Donald Trump held two campaign events that drew hundreds of participants but few wearing masks. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)

Face mask virtue signaling and COVID-19 lies have to stop

One of the Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers in Fredericksburg, Virginia, has a policy requiring customers to wear face masks in order to receive in-facility service -- but at the same time exempts its own employees working in the food preparation area from having to cover their faces. Why? The answer is tortured logic.

Police for me, not for thee

Minneapolis City Council members who pressed hard to defund police have now turned around and voted themselves a private security detail that costs taxpayers roughly $4,500 a day. They've spent $63,000 so far, Fox News reported. This is hypocrisy at its worst; elitism and arrogance at its root.

American individualism falling to socialism, globalism, collectivism

Joe Biden said that as president, he would make the wearing of face masks mandatory for every man, woman and child in America. Let freedom reign? Not exactly. This seems to be the new normal: Government ordering citizens this way and that way; government deeming what's best for individuals, and dictating accordingly.

Parler topples ‘tech tyrant’ Twitter in Apple ‘News App’ store

Parler, the emerging social media place for conservatives -- particularly for those conservatives who've been caught by the self-righteous censors of Big Tech trap -- has just toppled Twitter as the Number One "News App" on Apple's app store. Call it the rebellion of the free speech advocates. None too soon, either.

Marie Harf wrongly slanders Confederates as traitors

Liberal pundit Marie Harf said that "process," not mob violence, should dictate the outcomes of these structures, but that in the end, the Confederate statutes should be removed because the Confederates were "traitors" to the country. Spoken like a true elitist. Spoken like an elitist who's forgotten or worse, dismissed, historical truths.

The University of Florida is ending its "gator bait" cheer at football games and other sports events because of its racial connotations, the school's president announced Thursday, June 18, 2020, in a letter making several other similar changes on campus. (AP Photo/John Raoux, File)

Statues and mascots and memorials, oh my

It's not by the crack of an Antifa bat that our nation's history and national identity will fall. It's by the appeasing good natures of the graduating classes. By the appeasing smiling graduation masses taught to believe feelings trump all.

Joe Biden takes zillion, er, bazillion point lead over Donald Trump

"Saturday Night Live" once had this skit with comedian Jon Lovitz as Tommy Flanagan, a member, umm, president of a Pathological Liars Anonymous group, who worked as a journalist for the National Inqui--, er, Geographic -- yeah, that's the ticket. And that's how polls giving Joe Biden double-digit leads over Donald Trump seem.
