Forget Coke – It’s Tea Time Once Again

Back in 1971, Coca-Cola sought to promote racial harmony through its “Hilltop” commercial. In it, a multiethnic group sang a version of the altruistic and hippy-dippy “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” in perfect harmony — finding racial reconciliation through the purchase of a sugary carbonated beverage. Now, after surrendering to the demands of […]

Twitter Suspends Me for Criticizing Cardi B

Politicians such as Maxine Waters can praise and encourage BLM/Antifa violence via Twitter, and they still have access. Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamanei can send anti-Jewish and anti-Israel tweets, and he’s still on the platform. But dare criticize rapper Cardi B over her depraved 2021 Grammy Awards “performance” featuring her song, “WAP,” which itself would have […]

What Is Wrong With Jill Biden?

If this title rings a bell, it’s because it’s so similar to the title of an article I wrote a year ago this month, when presidential candidate Joe Biden––visibly compromised by clear signs of cognitive failure if not downright dementia––was being sequestered in his dimly-lit basement, surrounded by leftist toadies cranking out his occasional telepromptered statements, […]

Four on Terror Watchlist Caught at U.S./Mexico Border

While Old Joe’s handlers continue to deny that there is a crisis at the border, and aren’t even close to admitting that border control is a national security issue, the Customs and Border Protection agency confirmed Tuesday that four people on the FBI’s terror watchlist have been apprehended at the Mexican border since October. Anyone who […]

America’s light usage reveals insanity of relying on weather-dependent wind & solar

The U.S.A. Light Usage Map demonstrates that most of America’s population is East of the Mississippi which represents areas most susceptible to erratic weather patterns, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and ungodly amounts of rain and snow and frigid temperatures extremes, which perpetuate the unreliability of any intermittent electricity attainable from wind and solar. The northern hemisphere turns […]

Chuck Schumer: ‘Make No Mistake, Democracy Reform is a Top Priority’ for Democrats

IT BEGINS: Economists Say Biden’s Proposed Tax Hikes Will Impact Americans Earning $200K

While campaigning Joe Biden said he would not tax anyone who is earning under $400k. Only people who earn above 400k would be taxed, then candidate Joe Biden insisted.

Biden Embraces The Mullahs, Ditches The Saudis

The Biden administration has announced that it is “recalibrating” its relationship with Saudi Arabia to include cutting off arms sales, rehabilitating the Houthis in neighboring Yemen, and intentionally snubbing Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, widely known by his initials, MBS. Democrats in Congress and the media have long made a cause célèbre of the Saudi Crown Prince. They despise his ruthless crackdown on […]

COUP: Democrats Renew D.C. Statehood Push That Would Establish Autocratic One Party Rule

Statehood for DC guarantees that the Democrat Party will have two additional senators in perpetuity. Now that the Democrats have control of the Congress and the White House, they will stop at nothing to obtain one-party rule for America. Open borders, federalizing elections, and turning DC and Puerto Rico into states are designed to do […]

Fauci and the Communists

This past week, Dr. Anthony Fauci shared a platform with a Chinese Communist Party “health expert,” and it went largely unreported by any Western media outlets. Chinese state media, on the other hand, could not get enough of it, because Fauci delivered a propaganda coup for the communist regime in Beijing. Countless state media outlets […]

Here’s the List of the Top 20 States Getting ‘COVID’ Bailout Money [And Why It Raises a Giant Red Flag]

It’s simply naïve and ignorant of human nature to expect people—especially the kind of people who become politicians—to dole out trillions of dollars without any hint of favoritism or impropriety. President Biden is taking a victory lap after signing his $1.9 trillion ‘COVID’ spending bill. “Help is here,” he wrote in a tweet promoting his plan. […]

The Perils of One Party Leadership

Handing a government over to one political party does not always end with disastrous results.  There are times when single party leadership avoids massively bad policies and destruction.  But it is especially likely to occur when that one party leadership remains in control for long periods of time. The current pandemic has allowed for some […]

The Capitol Police Chief And Her Democratic Bosses Are Lying To You All To Hold Our Capitol Hostage

WASHINGTON — My city has been occupied for more than eight weeks. Major thoroughfares blocked, thousands of armed soldiers, armored vehicles, seven-foot fencing, concertina wire. What’s it all for? An invading army across the Potomac? Rising far-right militias, ready to strike at any moment? Nope. It’s because when angry rioters and protesters attacked the Capitol […]

PolitiFact: 90% of Biden Stimulus Spending Not Directly Related to COVID-19

Details of Biden’s bloated spending package are so damning that even liberal-leaning fact-checkers have no choice but to agree with conservative criticisms. President Biden’s $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” could soon become law. The budget-busting legislation, sold as emergency COVID response and “stimulus,” passed the Senate over the weekend. But even the liberal-leaning fact-checking website PolitiFact is pointing […]

The Rights of the Naturally Immune

There is an important issue that, in the midst of all the talk of vaccines, has not gotten nearly the attention it deserves: the civil rights of those who have already developed natural immunity to the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that is said to cause Covid.  Yesterday, I got the results of the test I took […]
