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. Published June 29, 2020
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. Published June 27, 2020
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. Published June 26, 2020
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. Published June 26, 2020
Christians should destroy all Baphomet statues
The list of statues, memorials and monuments torn down, defaced or destroyed across America grows long. And now it's Baphomet's turn. Published June 26, 2020
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. Published June 25, 2020
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. Published June 24, 2020
Anthony Fauci, Bobby Rush stoke curious racial tensions on COVID-19
Dr. Anthony Fauci told Rep. Bobby Rush during a hearing on the coronavirus that "institutional racism," yes indeed, has contributed to the disproportional number of COVID-19 cases seen in black communities versus other ethnic demographics in the United States. The interchange smelled a bit of one-hand-washing-the-other. Published June 24, 2020
Seattle Democrat Mayor Jenny Durkan just can’t stop coddling anarchists
Seattle Democrats, on the heels of gunshots that left one dead and two wounded in the police-free zone established by Capitol Hill Organized Protest anarchists, have finally decided to act and take back the streets. And yet, they won't do it by force. Published June 23, 2020
Project Veritas outs Facebook for more anti-conservative bias
Project Veritas, in its latest released video, outed content moderators working for a third party contractor for Facebook discussing various ways they could censor supporters of President Donald Trump on the social media platform. This is beginning to be a daily headline -- the social media censorship of conservatives, that is. Published June 23, 2020
America topples into secularism
America has a secularization problem. Where once we were a nation of people who naturally turned to both Bible and biblical principles as sources of sound advice for moral, societal and political direction, we are now living by our own wisdom. And look where it's taking us. Without virtue, liberty cannot stand. Published June 23, 2020
Aunt Jemima’s family pleads to keep ‘mammy’ image
Family members of the woman whose likeness served as the basis for the Aunt Jemima syrup brand say they don't want Quaker Foods to change the name because the affiliation gave her great fame at a pre-civil rights' fight time when job opportunities for blacks were low-to-zero. That, and it was "honest work" for honest pay. Published June 22, 2020
Jefferson Davis Highway in the BLM, NAACP crosshairs
A group of NAACP and Black Lives Matter members and supporters gathering south of Washington, D.C., called for the renaming of Jefferson Davis Highway in Northern Virginia -- the region's main north-south alternative to Interstate 95 -- because he served, from 1861 to 1865, as president of the Confederate States. Published June 22, 2020
Pandering to the pretensions of Black Lives Matter overlords
Slavery is a disgusting, despicable, horrific, soul-destroying aberration of God's will for humankind -- and, sadly, a terrible and tragic historical truth of American past. But America and all that America offers is still the best deal in the world. Published June 20, 2020
Tulsa ‘civil emergency’ bolsters Democrat playbook for politics: Mayhem
Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the lead-up to President Trump's rally, has declared a "civil emergency" due to fears of "extremely violent" protesters taking to the streets, bringing all their coronavirus-ey germs and stuff with them. This is how Democrats plan to win the White House--by intimidation, squelching free speech and aggression. Published June 19, 2020
Justice Clarence Thomas’ warning of SCOTUS politicization a case of too little, too late
The U.S. Supreme Court just voted to uphold the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals programs, or DACA, put in place by Barack Obama and rolled back by President Donald Trump -- and Justice Clarence Thomas, in a dissent, issued a stern warning against the future politicization of the court. Wise words. But too little, too late. Published June 19, 2020
COVID-19 great for growing billionaire pockets
Thanks to COVID-19 shutdowns, America's middle class may be suffering -- American small business owners may be gasping for last breaths, limping on their last legs -- but the billionaire class is making out like a bandit. Published June 18, 2020
Joe Biden buoyed by fake polls, false reporting
Joe Biden, pure and simple, is being buoyed by fake polls, fake headlines and false reporting. No wonder Americans don't trust the media to report the truth. Published June 18, 2020
Civil war looms, statistics and survey say
Almost a third of U.S. voters believe a civil war is on its way -- a bleak commentary on the growing tensions around the country due to coronavirus shutdowns and police policies that have manifested in destruction and defacement of historical monuments and memorials, anarchist takeovers of city streets and riotous uprisings.

Donald Trump to Michael Savage: ‘This will be rigged election’ if Dems have way
President Donald Trump told talk radio's Michael Savage that if Democrats have their way, the November election will be "rigged," and that it's up to courts and citizens to stave off leftist pressures for massive mail-in voting. Democrats have indeed been on a tear to use the coronavirus as justification for launching mail-in voting rights. Published June 16, 2020
