They say a picture can be worth a 1,000 words so here is one artist’s conception of the duplicity of Rep. Eric Swalwell over Trump and Russia brutally summed up by a single cartoon:

New York (AFP) - A record number of journalists were behind bars this year, a US-based watchdog said Tuesday, accusing governments worldwide of suppressing the media and fueling misinformation amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The annual report by the Committee to Protect Journalists found that 274 journalists were imprisoned in 2020 -- the highest number since the non-profit organisation began its survey in the 1990s. The report also found that 26 journalists and media workers had been murdered this year, with Mexico listed as the world's most dangerous country for the press. The worst offender was China for the second consecutive...

The courts have spoken, one after another. Some 74 million Americans have been denied our day in court. The Democrats’ crime of stealing a presidential election is too big to fail. Our play-it-safe judges don’t want to venture into these enormous seas, full of sharks, without precedent. They want to say in the safe spaces of the familiar. Stealing an election for city council is familiar enough to be overturned by law. Stealing a presidential election by wholesale fraud is above the law. One might think that somehow our laws are written too narrowly to catch the whale of Democrat...

HOUSTON - A federal court on Tuesday will consider whether to invalidate a program that shields from deportation immigrants brought to the United States as children, potentially creating complications for the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden. The challenge to be heard in Houston concerns President Barack Obama’s original memorandum creating Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which currently covers about 650,000 people. Federal courts have already turned away President Donald Trump’s efforts to end DACA. Under the order of a judge in New York, the Trump administration in December restored the program to its original terms under Obama, accepting new...

Joe Biden’s first address to the nation shortly after state electors declared him president-elect was overshadowed by persistent bouts of coughing and throat-clearing, as he mounted a scathing attack on President Donald Trump for his efforts to undermine the election.

Introduction Surely there are few people in the civilized world that have not now been acquainted with the so-called ‘pandemic’ caused by a virus that medical science has named Coronavirus, that is said to cause the disease named COVID-19. This event has been with us now for nearly a full year. When it began, little was known about the ‘coronavirus’ and the information that was given to the public was sketchy and constantly changing. I have questioned the event, in my own mind, many times since it became public, and have closely followed the information about it and the ways...

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] President Trump’s tweet announcing Barr’s ‘resignation’ came immediately after he, Barr and others had met at the White House to discuss the Department of Justices involvement in – or maybe its non-involvement in – investigations related to all of the massive election fraud the Democrats perpetrated in the just-completed presidential race. That letter was obviously drafted by the White House Communications staff, and was no doubt waiting for Barr and his signature when he arrived at the White House for that meeting. William Barr didn’t “resign” at all: He was obviously fired for...

Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: “I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me. 3 The ox knows its master, the donkey its owner’s manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.” 4 Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, children given...

LOS ANGELES/MONTERREY, Mexico - After spending eight months of 2019 in a makeshift tent camp in the dangerous Mexican border city of Matamoros, Israel Martinez abandoned his hopes of seeking asylum in the United States. Beaten down by the cold and unsanitary conditions in the encampment, Martinez accepted a free flight back to his homeland of Honduras in January 2020. Last month, his house was severely damaged by flooding during back-to-back hurricanes. And in January, U.S. President-elect Joe Biden, who has promised to relax some immigration restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border, takes power. Those factors have prompted Martinez and others...

Those responsible will be punished one way or another. Clearly, fraud — i.e., removal of our votes or undermining the aggregate values of our votes — has taken place in this presidential election. We see more mail-in ballots being counted in some places than were sent out. We see vote totals for Joe Biden or Donald Trump being reported in decimal places rather than as whole numbers. We see ballots being trucked into Pennsylvania from New York, and then the truck disappearing from its parking place. We see batches of votes arriving at polling places in the middle of the...

You may have seen the video of the family thrown off a United Airlines airplane because the 2-year-old daughter would not wear a mask. Though the family wore masks and the father promised to cover his daughter's face with a mask that he placed on her face, it made no difference. Though the child was completely asymptomatic, and though it is exceedingly rare for a child to transmit COVID-19 to an adult -- that is why Sweden kept its schools open all spring and summer, with its students not wearing masks -- the airline had its orders, and the flight...

Progressives appear to be calling for violence while at the same time accusing Trump supporters of being violent. Progressives appear to be calling for violence while at the same time accusing Trump supporters of being violent. Michigan state Rep. Cynthia A. Johnson has been roundly criticized for her warning to Trump supporters. She tweeted, “So this is just a warning to you Trumpers,” Johnson said. “Be careful. Walk lightly. We ain’t playing with you. Enough of the shenanigans. Enough is enough. And for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in...

Democrats want to grab absolute power BEFORE they attempt to grab the guns. Who thinks that will work out well?

Words matter. I work in words – be it in writing, on my podcast, or my radio show – words are how I make my living. Whether you realize it or not, so do you. From roofing to selling TVs, and I’ve done both, the ability to communicate is what binds society together. That’s why Democrats are working so feverishly to control what words we can use and are actively redefining them on a regular basis, and why they can’t be allowed to do it. If you’ve ever been overseas, you’ve likely been in a situation where you found yourself...

At the conclusion of his keynote speech to colleagues attending the Harvard Global Health Institute's 2018 Outbreak Week, Dr Fauci made a stunning truth-in-jest admission. In a follow-up Q&A, Fauci was asked about the relationship between allergies and infectious diseases. He explained that historically, there has been a link between the immune response and infections. Then, in an unguarded, rare moment of unintended disclosure, the director of the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) added: Immunology grew out of infectious diseases and, and I always joke with my co-institute directors that probably, sooner or later, every disease...

When Republican electors across crucial swing states cast their electoral votes for Donald Trump in the face of the left’s insistence that Joe Biden won the election, I thought to myself: when did the GOP grow a spine? On Monday, Republican electors in the battleground states of PA, GA, NV, and AZ convened to cast their electoral votes for Donald Trump. While this was a necessary step to stop the barrage of voter fraud across these states, I’ll admit, I was shocked that Republican electors did it. For a long time, we’ve seen the GOP kowtow to Democrats on nearly...

Today we see social tyranny played out by a small but growing group of citizens that has a chilling effect on the lives of the majority of Americans. .....Today, people don't talk about fear of tyranny when they distrust a politician or are mistreated by a government agency. Aside from a sprinkle of hyperbole by calling someone a fascist, most warn that the bad actor is a "threat to Democracy." However, we are not a Democracy. By design, the Founders were fearful of a true Democracy. James Madison in Federalist No 10 explained that given human nature, people would pursue...

Any time a liberal candidate is elected to become President of the United States, gun rights and regulations take center stage. Historically, gun sales have surged in the two months between a Democratic presidential nomination and inauguration. And that’s precisely what we’re seeing right now. A Quick Primer on the Second Amendment Whenever gun laws and regulations become a key topic of conversation, it’s important to push past the filler and focus on the meat. In other words, start with the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights and what it says: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the...

In a no-holds-barred blog post, Gates wrote that there were times when he wanted to dwelve deeper into social issues like Black Lives Matter protests which took the centerstage this year but there were days when he needed a 'change of pace' and read something lighter. Happy reading!
