Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) scolded Anthony Fauci in a tweet on Sunday, suggesting the nation's leading infectious disease expert apologize for his warnings about the danger the coronavirus poses to school-age children. "Dr Fauci owes @RandPaul an apology," one of Paul's Twitter followers said. Paul responded: "No, he owes one to every single parent and school-age child in America. I told him this multiple times this summer." Fauci and Paul have clashed several times since the pandemic began, with the Kentucky Republican accusing Fauci of fear-mongering rhetoric and what he says is incorrect praise of so-called lockdown measures implemented to...

<p>The left made the rules. I'm ready to play by them.</p><p>The leftist media is furious again, this time because Donald Trump is refusing to accept the results of the 2020 election. Norms! They scream. We need a peaceful transfer of power, an acceptance of the results, they say. Um, wait. Aren’t these the same people who cheered p-ssy hats and the chants of “not my president?” Those of us on the right didn’t forget about all of that.</p>

President Donald Trump’s campaign distanced itself from lawyer Sidney Powell following a contentious back-and-forth with Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Did Carlson play a role in Powell’s apparent departure from the team? The controversy began on Nov. 19, when Powell claimed that “communist money” sent through countries like “Venezuela, Cuba and possibly China” had been to help President-elect Joe Biden win the 2020 election via corrupted software. The Trump campaign, allies and the president himself have alleged massive voter fraud in the election. Powell made other claims, including accusing two Republicans of being involved in a conspiracy regarding Georgia’s electronic...

For the liberal media, it's not enough to ensure that President Trump leaves office. They also want to cast the gravest kind of doubts about him, literally suggesting that he could be a bought-and-paid-for spy for foreign adversaries! On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and NBC News national security correspondent Ken Dilanian made these accusations: "National security sources say . . . Donald Trump fits the profile of a classic counter-intelligence risk." A former Bush official says "Donald Trump may well sell secrets . . . some foreign country will put Trump on retainer." And in the most extreme statement...

Professional discussion of the harms and benefits of masks and mask mandates cannot even happen privately among doctors without vitriol. This kind of atmosphere kills science.My 18-year-old son, who has Down Syndrome, had a dental procedure last week. We were supposed to have it done in March, but due to the cancellation of outpatient procedures, it was postponed until then. His teeth needed major cleaning, and since he has a ton of oral sensory issues, sedation has become necessary. All went well, thankfully. However, that night the dentist called and talked with my husband, who is an urgent care physician,...

He brought up an investigation led by U.S....

The expert, Dr. Navid Keshavarz-Nia, has reportedly "stated under oath that there was massive computer fraud in the 2020 election, all of it intended to secure a victory for Joe Biden."

Co-host and network legal analyst Sunny Hostin said on Monday’s broadcast of ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump is “really in a psychosis right now” in how he is reacting to the 2020 election. Whoopi Goldberg said, “Yesterday you-know-who gave his first post-election loss interview to Maria Bartiromo where he continued his claims of a rigged election and even threw his own intelligence agencies under the bus. Now take a look.”

Barbra Streisand is “exhilarated” about the prospect of Joe Biden becoming president, saying that Biden will “bring back dignity, honesty, intelligence and compassion to the Oval Office.” The Oscar-winning Hollywood leftist also bashed President Donald Trump in an interview with the New York Times, calling him a liar and blaming him for the loss of “thousands of lives.” The accusation is one that Streisand has repeatedly made on social media, having previously claimed that President Trump’s “incompetence and lies” are responsible for thousands of coronavirus fatalities.

It took Election Day being over for CNN to slam Democratic hypocrisy on the use of dark money. Typical. CNN took aim at the Democrats in a November 27 story: “Democrats have denounced anonymous money in politics for years, but 2020 brought a tidal wave of it into the election to benefit their party.” In total, more than a jaw-dropping $320 million of “so-called ‘dark money’ helped boost Democrats in the White House and congressional races,” CNN noted. But here’s the kicker: the amount was “more than double the anonymous dollars that aided Republicans in this year's federal elections, a...
