Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public
It’s a strange time in the United States, where one political party is actively engaged in a series of actions to keep as many people as possible ignorant. Ignorant not of one particular event, study, or story, but of so many topics that reality itself” is what they’re ultimately attempting to obscure. It’s evil, honestly, and it begs the question "What are Democrats so afraid of?” The only… → Read More
My Hero Is Gone: My Parents Are Reunited
It’s a weird thing to think of yourself as an “orphan.” I’m an adult, and have children of my own, but I am and will forever be the son of Carol and Doug Hunter. We lost mom a few years ago, dad joined her Thursday morning. Orphan isn’t the right word, but it is the only word we have. All other words fall short. It wasn’t a surprise, my father was 82 and a half, had cancer and chose not to… → Read More
Some Basic Questions Democrats Can’t (Or Won’t) Answer
Remember science? Not the way it is now with the absolute obedience to progressive politics over evidence and common sense, but the way it was back when you were a kid and science was the embraced questioning of everything; remember that? Questioning is no longer allowed, unless it’s of your sexuality after being inundated with left-wing propaganda about how being gender non-binary is not only… → Read More
Even Democrats Know Kamala Has No Appeal
There really isn’t anything Democrats won’t fundraise off of. Mass shooting? Check. Political lies? Check. The Post Office? Check. Wildly unpopular MSNBC conspiracy theorists? Check. But there is one thing they don’t use very often, if ever, that they touted like it was the cure for what ails you just 2 years ago: Kamala Harris. Vice President Kamala Harris is one of the few people on the planet… → Read More
Artificial Intelligence Isn’t Ready To Replace Us Just Yet
I have resisted trying that artificial intelligence program to this point, mostly because I found the concept of chatting with long dead historical figures and college students using it to do their homework to be absurd. I finally broke down last night. Having heard so much about it, I decided to give it a shot. But how? I’m a fan of John Lennon, but the idea of pretending to chat with him seems… → Read More
Conservatives Need To Stop Embracing Leftists Who Say Something Right
It happens all the time: someone famous, either fully or mildly, says something remotely conservative and the conservative establishment goes absolutely crazy for them, then it all falls apart. It’s time to stop. I have my problems with the self-appointed “conservative leadership,” I think they’re more about making themselves rich than they are about any cause, and they always seem to find a way… → Read More
Joe Biden and the Truth About ‘The Talk’
I forced myself to watch the State of the Union Address, mostly for work but also out of morbid curiosity. Joe Biden’s drugged-out “doll eyes” were back – black and vacant, they seem to appear whenever he has an important speech to deliver well past his bedtime. The lies were there too – Republicans want to end Social Security, inflation is down, etc. But no lie was as pronounced or as damaging… → Read More
Democrats Get Even More Racist
You can tell what Democrats don’t want to talk about by what they blame on racism or some other irrelevant factor. When they don’t like a story, or can’t spin it to their advantage, they cry some kind of “ism” or “phobia,” and the granddaddy of all of it is racism. When the agenda isn’t helped by reality, Democrats simply declare a new reality. Matthew Shepard was a gay guy killed by someone who… → Read More
Triple Stupid, Triple Desperate
I wake up Saturday morning and check my email and I see the subject line, “Trump rally RUINED.” Now, I don’t keep up with Trump rallies, or any rallies for events more than a year away. But it was only a matter of time that the rallies started again because there isn’t much else to do when you’re the only announced candidate this far ahead of campaign season. That being said, I had to wonder how… → Read More
There Is Nothing Democrats Won’t Destroy
If there is some good news out there, count on some leftists to come along and take a huge dump on it. It’s what they do – they are the nail in the tire of your homecoming float, the rock you twist your ankle on while taking the field for the Super Bowl, the open-mouth belch during a moment of silence. Only miserable human beings could be such a destructive force every single time there is… → Read More
The Problem With “Historic”
You hear it all the time – so and so is “historic” because of their skin color, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or some other meaningless characteristic. Democrats seem to celebrate those “accomplishments” almost exclusively. This person is “historic” because they’re the first non-binary weirdo to hold whatever job they’ve just been hired for. Honestly, who cares? If who you sleep with defines who… → Read More
The Golden Globes Foreshadow the End of Award Shows
I grew up loving movies and still do. So when it was Oscar or Golden Globe time you could count on me being right there on the couch watching…alone, because no one else in my family gave a damn. Others did, however, care. The ratings were always sky-high – these award shows were events. People cared who won what because even though you may not have seen the movie they were in, you undoubtedly… → Read More
It’s Gotten So Bad For Biden Even Liberal Journalists Are Telling The Truth About Him (For Now)
You know things have gotten bad for a Democrat when even the left-wing media won’t engage in their BS cover-up. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen. And when it does it means there is a rough road ahead, though only for a while. That’s where we are right now with Joe Biden. But don’t get used to it, it never lasts long. The news that Biden illegally stole classified government documents… → Read More
Race-Hustlers Are The Democrat Party
There are certain moments when partisanship is put aside and the ceremony is respected. It’s what decent human beings do – they put animosity and disagreement aside for the moment and focus on the moment. You see it in applauding the entrance of the President of the United States to deliver the State of the Union Address. Do you think everyone wants to stand and applaud? They do it out of… → Read More
Make 2023 the Year We Take Sanity Back
The left is desperate to control you – what you say and what you think – and they’ve done a hell of a job so far in bullying people into submission and silence. It’s time to punch back. No, not literally (unless someone is physically threatening you), but metaphorically. If our constitutionally limited republic and the freedoms that go along with that are to survive, we need to make 2023 the… → Read More
2023-The Year In Preview
Now that we’ve established the fact that 2022 sucked, it’s time to look forward to seeing what the new year might bring. What will happen in the next 12 months and how will that shape the future? It’s all guess work, of course, no one can know the future (as evidenced by how there aren’t any multiple mega-lottery winners) or time-travel (as evidenced by how there is no one with the lucky streak… → Read More
Idiot Leftist Of The Year Nominees: The Honorable Mentions
(The last in a series of nominees, the winner will be announced in a December 27th column. The first, second, third, fourth and fifth nominees can be found here and here and here and here and here.) First off, Merry Christmas. I know it’s not very Christmas-y to write out a list of leftist losers who’ve been so awful throughout 2022 that they could qualify as the worst. Then again, it is truly… → Read More
Idiot Leftist Of The Year Nominee No. 3
(The third in a series of nominees, the winner will be announced in a December 27th column. The first and second nominees can be found here and here.) I’d never throw the keys to our family car to one of my kids and tell them to have a great time. First off, they’re 5 and 4, so they’d be confused and not have anywhere to go. But also because they’re 5 and 4 and have no idea how to drive – the… → Read More
When You’re As Dumb As a Hammer, Everything Is a Nail
It’s safe to say racism has jumped the shark now that we have charges of racism against an artificial intelligence influencer because of the color of its skin compared to the color of the skin of the person who created this fake person. If that sounds confusing and stupid it’s only because it is. The whole idea is. > With the rise of influencer marketing, it becomes harder for brands to… → Read More
The Twitter Files That Really Have Leftists Worried
In a shocking development, Twitter was censoring conservatives. I am, of course, being sarcastic because everyone knew it, though some denied it. Now we have Twitter itself, under new management, giving a peek into just how deeply the deception ran. Allow me to bring some much-needed salt and reality to this conversation and point out how everyone seems to be missing the point, some… → Read More
