The other day, Andrea Diamond was at home in Canada when a fluffy-tailed visitor decided to drop by her yard. It was a squirrel, and a rather chubby one at that. But there was something else a little different about this squirrel in particular. He’d come armed. Evidently, while making his rounds through backyards in the neighborhood, the squirrel happened upon a small knife someone had left out — and he decided to steal it. As Diamond looked on in amazement, the squirrel proceeded to wield the blade in an adorably intimidating manner. “I noticed he had something blue in...

I have this foreboding feeling that there will be violence in DC on inauguration day from leftist plants passing themselves off as Trump supporters. I’m pretty sure that is what happened on January 6. This will be echoed by the lapdog media and this is where gun confiscation will start. Please tell me how I’m wrong

Calling last week's riot at the US Capitol "the worst thing that has ever happened in America," Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA) has filed a bill that would permanently bar Donald Trump from entering the building.

"I, for one, would be greatly reassured if I knew that the Capitol Police were to be authorized to shoot him on sight should he ever attempt to enter this sacred place." Inasmuch as Trump was not in the Capitol when the riot took place,...

For those who don’t yet fully understand, I believe they will be coming up the awareness curve pretty quickly as the Left continues to implement their plans to fundamentally transform America.

Of...
