Michael Savage son, Russ Weiner, new billionaire: ‘American dream is alive’

Russ Weiner, the son of famed radio voice Michael Savage, has just turned his beverage company, Rockstar Energy Drinks, into a $3.2 billion payout from PepsiCo. That it comes as America is stumbling a bit on coronavirus-related economic blues only serves to show: Capitalism, not socialism, is the way to go.

#QuarantineLife tops trend on U.S. Twitter feeds

The hashtag QuarantineLife has taken over the top of Twitter trends for the United States, a somewhat sobering realization that coronavirus is here, here to stay, here for the long haul and that it ain't no joke. But that doesn't mean you can't have fun with it. Go America.

Amazon ‘out of stock’ as coronavirus panic buying surges

The empty shelves at the local brick and mortar retail has gone online. One of Amazon's most frequent messages for shoppers of staple home items this past 24 hours has been this: Out of stock. It's a new world out there for buyers. Bravery required.

Democrats see coronavirus as just another crisis to exploit

Fact is, if Democrats cared so much about the spread of the virus, they'd be on board with shutting borders, and shutting borders but quick. Instead, they're focused calling out the Chinese coronavirus as a racist label and, unbelievably enough, getting America back to the table to sign the Paris treaty and fight climate change.

Coronavirus panic: NBA, travel, Twitter — all up in arms

President Donald Trump suspended all travel to and from Europe for 30 days, Twitter told employees to work from home, the Pentagon stopped travel for 60 days, and the NBA formally suspended its season after one player tested positive for the virus. The coronavirus has officially entered panic zone.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sees ‘straight up racism’ in coronavirus

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unleashed a rant of logically challenged proportions against "people" -- yes, "people" -- for failing to properly support Chinese restaurants during this health crisis called coronavirus. Leave it to Ocasio-Cortez to find a new way to slide in the left's fave conversation ender, the race card.

Socialism’s seeds: Joe Biden’s ‘I’m not working for you’

Joe Biden, in a widely reported, widely seen confrontation with a construction in Michigan, cursed, argued and behaved like an ill-mannered, entitled elitist -- and when reminded that "you're working for me, man," said this: "I'm not working for you." That's the seeds of socialism, right there.

Democrats, with coronavirus, don’t need Russia — they have ‘recession’

President Donald Trump, on coronavirus, is finally facing a serious political threat. It's called "recession" -- and whether it's true or not, real or hyped, the fact is, with November looming and Democrats in the desperate position of having no candidate who can beat Trump, the "R" word is being played to full political advantage.

United Nations is coming for your religion

If any government had a vested interest in plowing forth a secularized society, it's the power-hungry bloated elites of the United Nations. Beware the "wolves in sheep's clothing," the Bible teaches. Beware the United Nations' teachings on religions.

Virginia Democrats made nonpartisan redistricting a key campaign plank during last year's off-year election, when they won full control of the statehouse for the first time in a generation. Now in power, they may not pass any reform measures because of internal party divisions. (AP Photo/Steve Helber)

Virginia illegals poised to get driving privileges

Answer this, please: How come for the legal citizens of America, driving is a privilege, but for illegals, apparently, in Virginia, anyway, to Virginia Democrats, anyway, driving is a right?

Louie Gohmert, Steve King say whistleblower Philip Haney was ‘murdered’

Reps. Louie Gohmert and Steve King delivered under-the-radar but shockingly powerful statements from the House floor that went like this: Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney, found dead of what authorities deemed a suicide, was actually murdered. Dub this the Next Story To Be Ignored By The Major Media.

Chuck Schumer, a thug like all the other Democrats

Much ado has been made about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's recent tirade against two Supreme Court justices, during which he told them a "whirlwind" was coming and they'd soon "pay the price" for their votes. But this is just par for the course with Democrats in general.

White House, Warren Farrell mull fix to ‘boy crisis’

Warren Farrell, co-author of "The Boy Crisis," says America has a problem with males and it's one that goes like this: They're not being raised to be men. And how true that is. Today's boys are being taught that masculinity is a disease. He's reached out to the White House with a proposed "MAFGA" fix.

Bernie Sanders’ youths abandoned him for the bong

Sen. Bernie Sanders is finding out the hard way that getting the young people to come to a rally is one thing; getting them to the ballot boxes is entirely another. And for a generation being raised at a time when half the states have either legalized or decriminalized recreational marijuana smoking, one has to wonder: Are they just too stoned to vote?

FISA court’s ban of Carter Page spy guys doesn’t go far enough

Federal agents who botched the whole Carter Page wiretapping process -- and by botched, of course, it's meant politicized and weaponized -- have been banned from pursuing spy permissions through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. And thank goodness for that. That's a common-sense move.

Bernie Sanders wins, even when he loses

If socialism is an evil, which it is, then pretending this election season could sound the death to socialism with a decisive Donald Trump victory would be both fallacy and foolish. Socialism, like other evils, doesn't disappear. It just morphs into something else.

Democrats treat black voters like they’re stupid

Democrats seem to be struggling with black voters. Has President Donald Trump, with his chugging economy and prison reform plan and immigration control stolen the left's thunder? Could be. But speaking to blacks on the campaign trail shouldn't have to drift into rapper shake-the-booty land. Honestly, it's not that tough.
