  • The week Biden lost the New York Times: Liberal paper's Editorial Board unleashes astonishing broadside warning of 'a dark moment' as it runs back-to-back opinion pieces knifing the elderly president after damning special counsel report

    Joe Biden is incapable of assuring voters he can handle another presidential term, his team has 'no plan' on how to deal with his senile behavior, and he should simply 'not be running for re-election,' according to New York Times authors. Anxieties from the liberal Times' Editorial Board and opinion writers show how worried they are that ailing Biden may not be able to beat 'bad man' Donald Trump this year. The back-to-back opinion pieces knifing the elderly president, 81, over the weekend comes after a Justice Department report ripped into his handling of classified documents and portrayed him as...
  • Trump impeached for being right about Biden family’s Ukraine corruption

    OPINION: At the House Democrats’ 2019 impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff blocked Republicans from calling witnesses and obtaining documents that could have told today’s unfolding, seedy story of the Biden family in Ukraine. Mr. Schiff, the California Democrat who proudly championed the 2016 anti-Trump hoax dossier, kept the Biden family safe so that Joe could run for president untainted by scandal. House Democrats subsequently voted to impeach Mr. Trump because of a July 25, 2019, phone call he conducted with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He asked Mr. Zelenskyy to look into what the Biden duo, former...

    We should prepare to lose our position as holder of the world's reserve currency. That is happening in slow motion. It's unmistakable. Now, the Biden people seem to have no idea this is going on or maybe they want it to happen. Joe Biden was up there at the State of the Union bragging about how he took 30 points off the Russian ruble in a single day. Hurray. Good for us, but once we stop celebrating our win, the destruction of the Russian economy, they deserve it. You have got to wonder, is there a downside to this? Could...
  • DeSantis says Trump should've given up power like George Washington after election loss and January 6: Florida Gov. takes a dig at rival for trying to overturn the election instead of acting like a Founding Father

    For the first time, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has criticized former President Donald Trump for refusing to concede power following the 2020 election – in a generalized comment referencing events more than 200 years ago. DeSantis, who condemned rioters inside the Capitol where he once served, but has said little about Trump's push to have courts and allies toss out the results, made remarks during an interview with Piers Morgan, where he also blasted Trump administration chaos.
  • Op-Ed: To Convince The Unvaccinated, We Need To Scream At Them That They're Brainwashed Morons And We Hope They Die

    President Joe Biden has failed to meet his vaccination goals. There are several reasons for this. Facebook. FOX News. Climate change, maybe. Despite this, we have to convince the people who aren’t vaccinated to get the shot. So how do you convince someone to go against a deeply held belief? It’s hard to say, but I know how I want to convince someone: screaming at them how dumb they are until they change their ways. Thus I’ve decided that’s the best way to persuade people. If we are to save everyone from this pandemic, we have to find all the...

    The global pandemic, the ongoing cultural revolution, and the divisive politics of the 2020 election have revealed the extent to which the American republic has trended toward oligarchy. Throughout the pandemic, federal and state officials have determined which businesses would close, which would stay open, who must wear masks, and where they must wear them. Our ruling class decided what gatherings were permissible and what gatherings were impermissible. Our governmental and medical elites decided what drugs our doctors could prescribe for us and what drugs they could not. And they have made clear that the unvaccinated population will have fewer...

    I've been getting a lot of mail from critics lately asking if I'm happy with the Biden administration. They point to some of the new president's executive orders — the one about the Keystone XL pipeline, or the one rescinding the "Mexico City" policy withholding funds from international organizations that perform or advocate for abortion. They ask, snidely, whether I'm proud of my vote for the Democrat. My answer is a resounding yes. It's not because I think Joe Biden will pursue a policy agenda I will agree with most of the time. It's because we just came within a...

    “(Secession is) just a response to the lack of respect toward southeast New Mexico.” – Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell “If you like Texas better, just pack up your bags and move, it’s not that far.” – Senate President Pro Tem Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque While it’s easy to dismiss a secession measure introduced by state Sen. Cliff Pirtle as silly, doing so would only ignore – and feed – the deep political and cultural divisions that exist in our state. New Mexico has always had a rural-urban political divide. Lawmakers from Albuquerque’s metro area combined with legislators in Santa Fe are...

    It’s a shame that as we celebrate Martin Luther King Day, it is increasingly apparent that his dream for “all of God’s children, black men and white men… to join hands and sing… ‘Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last’” is more a pipe dream than an achievable goal. The people of America have taken great strides to eradicate all types of racism and we tend to reject it when we see it. Yet, white America stands accused of being racist -- not because of our actions or pronouncements, but because of the...

    The man in the White House is too old to govern. He is incoherent. He is rich. He has been accused of sexual misconduct. He is corrupt. And worst of all, he is white. There's one thing we all must rally to do to stop the old, incoherent, corrupt white man: we must elect a different old, incoherent, corrupt white man. It's the only way to save the country. Just take a look at Trump: nothing he says makes any sense. He lies all the time. We must stop this by electing Joe Biden, who also does not make any...

    John Piper has issued a blistering condemnation of President Donald Trump, warning Christian voters that the president's “deadly behavior” will lead the U.S. to “destruction of more kinds than we can imagine.” On Thursday, the influential pastor and writer published what he referred to as a “long-overdue” blog post in which he pondered the implications of the 2020 election. Piper, who pastored Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis for almost 33 years, reminded Christians that "it is not a small thing to treat lightly a pattern of public behaviors that lead to death." He pointed out that all of these sins...
  • Why (California) voters should oppose Prop. 16, retain state’s race-neutral law. No state should allow officials to treat anyone as more, or less, valuable than others

    Mercury News ^ | George Leef
    California voters made a wise decision in 1996 when they adopted Proposition 209, banning state government from favoring some people over others on account of their race. No state should allow officials to treat anyone as more, or less, valuable than others. But the Proposition 16 campaign is underway to repeal Prop. 209 and allow the government to once again act as though, to paraphrase George Orwell in “Animal Farm”, all citizens are equal, but some citizens are more equal than others. This campaign is bolstered by deceptive claims, such as made in a new UC Berkeley study. The study...
  • The Conservative Case for COBRA Subsidies

    The economy is starting to bounce back from the coronavirus, but a full recovery will take years. About 30 million Americans remain unemployed. And the Federal Reserve expects the jobless rate — which currently exceeds 13 percent — to remain above 9 percent through the end of the year, far above the historic low of 3.5 percent we recorded in February. Simply put, Americans are struggling. Through no fault of their own, millions have lost their jobs — and with it, their health insurance. Many are signing up for Medicaid or Obamacare. Conservatives like me cringe to see so many...

    A union representing some 1,200 New York Times employees is urging that articles be subjected to “sensitivity reads.” The News Guild of New York said its reps recommended the extra layer of vetting during a meeting with the Grey Lady’s leadership earlier this month over how to make the paper “more diverse and equitable.” The meeting came in response to a newsroom uproar over Republican Sen. Tom Cotton’s controversial op-ed. “Diversity, inclusion and equity is not a static goal. It is an ongoing commitment that must be implemented in every facet of the company,” the Guild wrote in a memo....

    The New York Times NYT, -1.29% admitted Thursday it erred in publishing an op-ed column by Sen. Tom Cotton calling for the military to quell protests. The hawkish, one-sided column published Wednesday outraged many, including staff members, many of whom tweeted in solidarity : "Running this puts black @nytimes staff in danger." In a statement late Thursday, the Times said Cotton's piece did not meet its standards, though it did not explain exactly why it was published. "We've examined the piece and the process leading up to its publication. This review made clear that a rushed editorial process led to...

    BNJ Editorial June 12, 2017 Ever think why big lies are more believable than little ones? Big lies have an inherent power to upset us, and trigger our control mechanism, one such control mechanism is fear. What are some of the big lies that have shaped American society? To accommodate a lifestyle that handles so many undesirable outcomes we need lies if we are going to avoid accepting what we know instinctively to be true. We live in denial, so lies do an excellent job of excusing our failings, confirming our basest purposes, and avoiding anxiety about what may happen...
  • Post Coronavirus - If You Survive (vanity)

    With almost hourly reports of new cases of Coronavirus popping up in American cities it feels as though the enemy is stealthily parachuting in nearly unseen during the night. We hear reports but they seem so innocuous and far away that we seemingly aren't all that alarmed. However, if one steps back and thinks through what a worst case or near worst case scenario might look like - we might be doing so in the final few weeks of what we will remember as our past lives, before the virus, wishing we would have soaked more of what we once...

    Addressing the British Parliament in 1982, President Ronald Reagan outlined a plan for placing the Soviet Union and Marxism-Leninism on the "ash heap of history." It is an objective President Trump might pursue against the mullahs in Iran, who are subsidizing terrorism in the Middle East and threatening to export it elsewhere. The latest military and verbal volleys between the United States and Iran started when a branch of the Hezbollah terrorist group (called "militants" by some reporters), attacked the American Embassy in Baghdad. Unlike the 2012 terrorist assaults in Benghazi, Libya, during which U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Information Officer...

    The Boston Herald on Friday penned an editorial blasting Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) for her repeated attacks on law enforcement. The editorial board recounted numerous instances Sen. Warren went after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and police officers for enforcing our rule of law. Specifically, the Herald cited an incident that took place in Boston: Last year it was ICE she targeted for expulsion, saying that it should be replaced with “something that reflects our morality.” She bellowed to a boisterous Boston City Hall Plaza crowd that, “This is about children held in cages. This is about babies scattered all across this country.”That...

    At the most recent meeting of the Aspen Strategy Group — which includes current and former senators, former senior officials, retired military, leading academics and analysts — a number of the participants expressed considerable doubt about whether the United States could defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack, or even whether it would attempt to do so. Behind the concerns voiced at Aspen, Colo., was the shadow of a potentially brutal Chinese paramilitary operation to crush the dissenters in Hong Kong. The fear was that once Beijing’s “one country, two systems” policy toward Hong Kong was terminated, Taiwan...
