In this June 1, 2020, file photo, Democratic presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden bows his head in prayer as he visits Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Del. Photos in a campaign ad for President Donald Trump show that former Vice President Biden is “alone, hiding, diminished.” The ad blurs details that show Biden is praying in a church. The ad was tweeted by @TeamTrump on Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2020. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)

Joe Biden hasn’t the stamina for four years

The reason Joe Biden's pick for vice president is being watched so closely is that most voters think he won't make it through a full four-year White House term and that it's his second-in-charge who will ultimately lead the country. That's not anecdotal, water-cooler gossip. That's polled fact. So says Rasmussen in its latest survey.

Bill Gates whines Team Trump won’t listen to him

Bill Gates is the smartest guy in the room, nay, on the planet, and he wants everybody to know it. How else to explain his feigned incredulity on CNN of America's coronavirus test process to that of other nations? Let's remember: Gates is a computer guy. He's not actually a medical expert.

Coronavirus test positives a big whoop over nothing

Every day, every hour, every news source in America blasts out the latest coronavirus test case positives. But -- and this is a serious question -- so what? If this were a virus by a different name, if this were a different political climate, test positives wouldn't raise national eyebrows.

John Roberts ‘anti-Trump,’ says SCOTUS insider

Carrie Severino, a former Supreme Court clerk who now heads up the Judicial Crisis Network and who helped pen a bestselling book on the takedown of Brett Kavanaugh, said on "Fox & Friends" that Vice President Mike Pence is right to criticize the chief justice because, by all appearances, John Roberts seems decidedly "anti-Trump."

This April 28, 2020, file photo shows a smartphone app built for the state of Utah displaying coronavirus test sites. The app tracks symptoms and shares location data for contact tracing, the process of determining who might have been exposed to the virus. The app is “a tool to help jog the memory of the person who is positive so we can more readily identify where they’ve been, who they’ve been in contact with, if they choose to allow that,” said Angela Dunn, Utah’s state epidemiologist.

Virginia leaps into contact tracing technology

Virginia has become the first state in the nation to offer for download a contact tracing Apple and Google API app aimed at stopping and slowing the spread of the coronavirus. And so it begins: One of modern government's cleverest means of tracking and surveilling its people, and all for the good health of the people, to boot.

CDC floats next health scare, post-coronavirus

Just in time for the new school year, virtual as it may be, comes a new warning of a new fright for parents to deal with, and more likely than not, wait for it, wait for it, for government to cite as justification to keep schools closed, and maybe even churches and more -- and it's one that goes like this: Acute flaccid myelitis.

Susan Rice, VP contender, wants to ‘re-imagine’ away the police

Susan Rice, former national security adviser and potential Joe Biden vice president pick, said police need a massive "re-imaging" -- meaning, a total rework. Meaning, a total reshaping. Meaning, a total collapse. "Re-imagining" is code for watering law enforcement to the point where they're no longer law enforcement.

Following direction, McCartney Moulds, 6, a second-grader, distances herself from a fellow student as she walks to class with full mask following her bus commute, to the Newton County Elementary School in Decatur, Miss., Monday, Aug. 3, 2020. Thousands of students across the nation are set to resume in-person school Monday for the first time since March. Parents are having to balance the children's need for socialization and instruction that school provides, with the reality that the U.S. death toll from the coronavirus has hit about 155,000 and cases are rising in numerous places.

Democrats use fear to control and dominate

A new poll from Gallup shows that 85% of American parents who identify as Democrats worry their children will contract COVID-19, but only 29% of those who say they're Republican express similar concerns. That's about right. Democrats, by nature, are fear-filled scaremongers.

Americans’ crazy fight for the basic right to work

The Declaration of Independence promises citizens life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and that's pretty much what many in America are doing each day as they head to work -- exercising their rights to provide for self and family, for both needs and wants, absent government intervention. Then came the coronavirus pandemic.

Donald Trump defies naysayers and beats Barack Obama poll numbers

The poll numbers are in and contrary to what the left will tell, President Donald Trump is finding high favor with the majority of U.S. voters. By the numbers: 51% of likely U.S. voters say they approve of Trump's job performance. That's according to Rasmussen.

Democrats use COVID-19 unemployment to buy votes

Democrats want the next round of coronavirus stimulus dollars to extend the $600 unemployment insurance enhancement for those who lost their jobs or who faced mandated furloughs because of economic shutdowns. Republicans say no. But Democrats want that money to buy votes for their subpar candidate, Joe Biden, this fall.

America can’t be moral without God

This country is in a free-fall of cultural rot and moral decay. And how the culture goes, so, too, the politics. Which is why Pew Research Center's latest "Global God Divide" finding that only 44% of Americans think they need the heavenly Creator to shape their morals and values is so illuminating.

Rep. Jim Jordan hammers Anthony Fauci for favoritism in COVID-19 science

Rep. Jim Jordan asked NIAID Director Anthony Fauci a dozen different ways and a dozen different times to explain why angry protesters could safely gather but peaceful church-goers could not -- and a dozen different ways, a dozen different times, the doctor dodged. And that is why the American people do not trust the COVID-19 crackdowns.

McDonald’s can take new call-cops-on-customers policy, and shove it

McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski, in an interview on CBS, said customers who don't wear face masks inside the restaurant risk having police called to arrest them. And then he did that old Marxist propaganda thing and said for safety's sake, "we also ask our customers to wear masks." Screw McDonald's.

Teachers’ unions shamefully exploit COVID-19 to shutter schools

Public schools in the District of Columbia just announced that all students will be doing the stay-at-home virtual study thing when the year begins. D.C. is not alone in this. For shame. These virtual classes have virtually nothing to do with protecting from the coronavirus and everything to do with scoring wins for the teachers' unions.

Anthony Fauci, citing ‘mucosa,’ now wants goggles, face shields

Give Dr. Anthony Fauci an inch and he'll take a mile. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases now wants to stick Americans in goggles and shields, in addition to the face masks. What's next, Mission Oriented Protective Posture Gear -- better known by its chemical weapons warfare acronym, MOPP gear? Why not.

Florida face mask hell a chilling warning for America

Florida's got a problem with face masks -- and it's one that is terrorizing citizens, sending them to jail, stripping them of their most basic civil, human rights. For face masks. For failing or refusing to wear face masks. Has America gone mad?

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube desperate to kill countering coronavirus thought

President Donald Trump shared critical tweets about Anthony Fauci and his truth-telling of the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine to help cure the coronavirus -- and the censors on social media responded by removing his posts. Anyone who thinks freedom of speech still stands strong in this nation -- take note: It does not.
