David Hogg, a DNC headache of the Democrats’ own making

Democrats are in an uproar. As they should be. Spending Democrat money to take out Democrat politicians is probably a bit of a surprise to donors who assumed their money would be used to take out Republicans. Published April 26, 2025

President Donald Trump speaks with reporters during a swearing-in ceremony for Dr. Mehmet Oz, background right, to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, in the Oval Office of the White House, Friday, April 18, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)

The stupidity of guessing deaths

A study from the far-left Centers for American Progress concluded with this title: "Congressional Republicans' Proposals To Slash Medicaid Could Cost Tens of Thousands of Lives." Or could not. Either-or. Maybe, maybe not. Welcome to science and sound argument, Democrat style. Published April 24, 2025

Former Vice President Al Gore speaks during a session on Climate Trace, a database that monitors emissions, at the COP29 U.N. Climate Summit, Friday, Nov. 15, 2024, in Baku, Azerbaijan. (AP Photo/Sergei Grits)

Al Gore wouldn’t know a Nazi if it bit him on the butt

Al Gore of gimme-all-your-money-so-I-can-feign-fighting-climate-change fame, likened President Trump's administration to Nazi Germany by saying both brought massive assaults on liberty. Sigh. Don't you have a chad to go hang or something, Mr. Gore? Published April 23, 2025

America adrift as Americans warm toward communist China

For the first time in five years, the number of U.S. adults who possess what Pew Research Center labeled as an "unfavorable opinion" of communist China has dropped -- meaning fewer now in the land of the free are regarding communism as an evil. This is China's long-term strategy at work. Published April 22, 2025

Democrats would rather destroy America than support Trump

Hillary Clinton called for her fellow Democrats and for all Americans who care about the state of the Constitution to stand fast against President Trump's border control agenda and demand a return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia -- of MS-13 gang fame -- to the United States. Published April 18, 2025

#Winning, as LGBTQ camp scrambles for corporate Pride sponsors

Democrat histrionics do nothing but divide

The Democrat Party's penchant for hysterics and histrionics to make political points has to stop. It not only makes Democrats appear stupid -- stupider than stupid -- it also tears apart the nation. Published April 16, 2025

CDC on COVID shots: What did it know and what did it delete?

Sen. Ron Johnson has asked three federal agencies to take a look at a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official who is in charge of monitoring COVID-19 vaccine adverse events and determine whether he deleted or destroyed agency records. Come on, federal health bureaucrats. The jig is up. The cover-up is uncovered. Published April 15, 2025

Trump: ‘We need God’ — and like that, all’s right with America

In a country that's founded on the core ideal of individual rights coming from God, and governments only existing as a means of preserving and protecting the rights and liberties granted each individual at birth -- it sure is comforting to have a president who recognizes the importance of God. Published April 14, 2025

Measles and illegals: the story Democrats want hidden

The best way for America to keep the country measles-free is to shut down its borders to illegal crossers. That's the quiet part. That's the part open border advocates don't want spoken out loud. Published April 11, 2025

Democrats deep dive into ‘assassination culture’ lunacy

A new poll found "political violence targeting Donald Trump and Elon Musk is becoming normalized," so much so that 55 percent of these nut jobs serving the Democrat Party's anti-MAGA will see murder as a potentially viable form of protest. Congrats, Dems. Your cycle into madness is complete. Published April 9, 2025

Spare the rod, spoil the Democrat

It's interesting that illegals and those who spend their days protesting instead of working would lay claim to the idea that they own stuff -- that the White House, via budget savings and deportations, is somehow stealing what they've earned. Published April 8, 2025

Deportation dramas won’t end well for Democrats

This White House has earned the support of the American people. If Democrats want to go to bat for gang members, thugs, criminals and drug traffickers, so be it. But the American people are not on their side. Published April 7, 2025

WEF loses footing among swirl of failures, festering accusations

Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, is stepping away from his chairman title, effective 2027. That's after he stepped down as the WEF's executive chairman in May. Ding, dong, the anti-America witch is dead. Published April 5, 2025

Child abuse gets redefined by lunatic left

Coloardo Democrats want to make it an act of child abuse to refer to a boy who's actually a boy but who wants to be a girl as a boy -- confusion much? -- and similarly so for a girl, and to then allow courts to use this so-called "misgendering" as a crucial tool for deciding parental custody cases.

Law enforcement may finally have to pay penalties for mistaken raids

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in late April on a case that could finally put to rest the flawed idea that law enforcement officers are largely exempt from lawsuits demanding accountability and payment for raids on the wrong homes.

Democrats at long last admit party brand ‘toxic’

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said on an episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher" that the "Democratic brand is toxic," in large part because of cancel culture. Well and good. But truly, the Democrat Party is toxic for a lot more reasons than just cancel culture. Published March 31, 2025

Donald Trump is purging culture of destructive Marxist ideologies

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to root out and remove those exhibits at the nation's Smithsonian museums that display "improper ideology" -- that is, the kind that advance Marxist and anti-American values and viewpoints. Let the purge go forth! Published March 28, 2025
