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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Forty-seven percent of U.S. adults say people are behaving worse in public now than they were before COVID, Pew Research Center found. That sounds about right.

The more Christian believers in the country, the better for the fate of freedom and individual liberties for the country's citizens.
