Maryland Democrats Jump The Shark On Crime And Punishment

It’s a long-established fact that leftists, in their unquenchable quest for power, have absolutely zero shame or self-awareness. No degree of cognitive dissonance, either on their part or the part of those subjected to their insanity, will sway them. They are more than happy to assume any position, then assume another position that directly contradicts the logic of the first position, if that… → Read More

The Rise Of DeSantis Is A Victory For Trump, If Only He Would See It

Last month, hard-core Trump supporters, including Sebastian Gorka, Kari Lake, and Laura Loomer, were circulating and commenting on the ‘news’ that leftist billionaire financier George Soros - possibly the evilest man on the planet - had thrown his 2024 presidential ‘support’ behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. It was an absurdly false claim thoroughly refuted by every major fact-checking agency on… → Read More

Observations From Covidian Twitter

Like a sports fan who spies on a rival team’s message boards to see what the other side is discussing, I like to scroll through what I like to call “Covidian Twitter” every so often to get the lay of the land on the latest Covid craziness. It’s usually a dystopian hellscape full of self-absorbed hypochondriacs who all think the sky is falling and they’re an unmasked breath from the brink of… → Read More

Latest 'Gold Standard' Review Puts The Final Nail In The Coffin For Masks

The Cochrane Review's latest examination of a plethora of masking and other Covid intervention studies conducted before and during the Covid-19 pandemic should put the final nail in the coffin of the belief that widespread masking could have altered the trajectory of the outbreak. The analysis, which examined 78 studies featuring more than a million people around the world, found that community… → Read More

Tyre Nichols And The Race-Baiting Left

The death of 29-year-old black man Tyre Nichols allegedly at the hands of five Memphis police officers caught on camera ruthlessly beating and kicking him after a traffic stop was met with universal condemnation from seemingly all sides of the political landscape and - dare I say it - mostly peaceful protests in major U.S. cities nationwide. Though few seem to want to point it out, the unity… → Read More

Covidians And Their Paper-Thin Skins

In the pre-Musk Twitter days, pencil-necked leftist overlords would simply censor dissidents for daring to cite inconvenient facts. That’s because they don’t like to be challenged or even politely questioned openly. They know their dumb ideas can’t stand up to scrutiny, so instead of rethinking and revising those dumb ideas they look for ways to ‘win’ the debate by silencing the opposition. Now,… → Read More

Two Paths For The GOP In 2023. One Leads To Hope, The Other To Disaster

With the dawn of a new year comes the traditional time for political pundits to prognosticate. Fortunately, or unfortunately, that’s never been as easy as it is right now. In sum, my crystal ball for pretty much everything spells out that things - and by ‘things’ I mean everything by every metric you can imagine culturally, economically, and politically - are going to be worse this time next… → Read More

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya Laments How Little The Medical Establishment Has Learned From China's Covid Disaster

Stanford epidemiologist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya expressed concern Wednesday night that the global and national medical establishment might have learned nothing from China's horrific experience with the Covid-19 pandemic. Appearing on Wednesday night's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" with guest host Sean Duffy, Bhattacharya worried that the same mistakes China and much of the rest of the world made at… → Read More

Elon Musk Annihilates Two Leftist Shibboleths With A Single Five Word Tweet, And They Are Big Mad

It's no secret that billionaire Elon Musk has done nearly everything possible to rile up the political left since his purchase of Twitter finalized a month and a half ago, from freeing formerly frozen conservative accounts to releasing the Twitter Files detailing how previous management put their thumb on the scales to censor the right. However, a simple five-word tweet on Sunday morning may… → Read More

Twitter Won’t Be Free Until The Covid Dissidents Are

From the moment it hit the news earlier this year, I expressed my belief that mega-billionaire Elon Musk’s stated intention of restoring some semblance of free speech on Twitter was the “most consequential thing” he will do in his life. Given that I was addressing the richest man in the world who could eventually be personally responsible for sending the first human to Mars, that was a bold… → Read More

Bipartisan CBS Focus Group Stuns Host When Panelists Agree On Almost Everything, Including 'Woke Culture'

A balanced focus group on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday morning surely didn't go quite as producers expected when the Democrat and the independent voter both found themselves agreeing with the Republican on key issues, including "woke culture" in schools. The discussion, moderated by anchor Margaret Brennan, started off pretty tame and predictable, with participants describing the effects of a… → Read More

Did Alex Jones Invade Ukraine Or Something?'

Infowars founder Alex Jones has already been ordered by a court to pay almost $1 billion to the families of Sandy Hook victims for claiming that the 2012 school shooting was a hoax. It's a sum that would be impossible for anybody short of billionaire status to pay, yet on Friday the victims' families asked a Connecticut judge for additional punitive damages that could go as high as $2.75… → Read More

The Moral Case For A National Divorce

Depending on who currently rules, the idea of a national divorce tends to be generally amenable to one side of the political aisle and completely unacceptable to another. During the → Read More
