I received a phone call on my radio show from a man who said, "Dennis, I'm a gay conservative actor in Hollywood, and it is far easier to come out of the closet as gay than as a conservative." That call was in the 1980s. While the current cancel culture -- the firing, humiliation, disparagement and smearing -- of conservatives is exponentially worse today than 30 years ago, it is not new. As a result, the great majority of Americans who are conservative -- that is, about half the country -- hide their true beliefs. They fear saying anything that...

Most of the Western world has transferred its manufacturing sectors to China. Every single day, Chinese container ships ply the world’s oceans, fanning out to every continent except, maybe, for Antarctica. We’ve long known that those ships are carrying cheap goods and the West’s economic destruction, but The Sun is contending that those same ships are likely to be disguised missile launchers. Here’s the main part of the story, although you should visit The Sun to read the whole thing: CHINA has been secretly developing Trojan Horse-style missiles hidden in shipping containers that can be unleashed on enemy ports, experts...

It’s important that we keep up the drumbeat about what’s happening in D.C. because our Republican politicians are either complicit or passive. One of the things I’ve liked about Tucker Carlson’s show over the past 11 months his is courageous willingness to challenge the Democrats’ dystopian narrative about January 6, and we have tried here to keep you apprised about the January 6 political prisoners. It’s also important to pay attention to the House’s January 6 commission, which is turning into a very aggressive Star Chamber. On his Monday show, Tucker Carlson used his opening monologue to attack the Democrats...

When drug-dealers complain about the lack of law enforcement protection, the boomerang has come full circle and hit us in the back of the head. When drug-dealers complain about the lack of law enforcement protection, the boomerang has come full circle and hit us in the back of the head. Gangs of smash-and-grab thieves have targeted cannabis shops in the San Francisco Bay area, while firing 175 shots and stealing about $5 million's worth of products. Alphonso "Tucky" Blunt, owner of a legal cannabis shop, criticized poor police protection and the bureaucratic details of business in Oakland: "I was safer,...

Turns out there is a bottom, sort of, for CNN to hit, and some standard they simply will not look the other way on. It’s way down there, and very specific to some as yet unheard of sexual misconduct allegation no one has released details of (yet), but they have standards. And the firing of Chris Cuomo has set off a feeding frenzy, a woke-off to fill his timeslot and, more importantly, hammer those big checks that come, even when you’re by far the least watched person in your timeslot. The concept should strike fear into the hearts of everyone...

"One of Florida’s biggest hospital systems suspended all of its Covid vaccine mandates. Advent Health will no longer require its 83,000 employees to be vaccinated against Covid. The decision to suspend the vax mandate comes after Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill preventing employers from enforcing vax mandates. . ."

By any measure, Charlie Baker is one of the most popular governors in the country. In 2018, he won reelection as Massachusetts' chief executive with 67% of the vote and his approval ratings regularly crested 60% -- even amid the worst throes of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. That Baker did so as a Republican in one of the most Democratic states in the country is absolutely remarkable. In anything close to a normal Republican Party, Baker would be one of its stars -- someone touted as a future national leader. Instead, Baker announced late last week that he would...

Last week I spent a couple of days visiting monuments and art museums in our nation’s capital. Perhaps the most arresting spectacle is that every parking garage of a governmental nature has a tilt-up vehicle crash barrier. Apparently, they all date from the post 9/11 period, and prevent Muslim terrorists from penetrating the sacred precincts of swank governmental transportation. Thank goodness everything is already in place to deal with the white supremacist armed insurrectionists! The next most important spectacle in our nation’s capital is the troika of oppressed peoples museums on the Washington Mall. Item, a National Museum of African...

As a broadcast journalist, my goal was always to get my accurate story on the air first. Beating the other networks by even just a minute was a major victory when covering breaking news. It drove ratings and ratings are everything. So, let me give you an advantage in your political discussion group. Here is the headline for January 1, 2022: The old CNN is dead! The cause of death is not the forced departure of Chris Cuomo or Rachel Maddow’s act becoming so old she is moving to a weekly show. Nor is it that CNN’s jaundiced journalists conspired...

An Illinois Democratic lawmaker has introduced legislation that would require individuals who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 to pay for their own medical expenses, including hospital bills, if they contract the virus. State Rep. Jonathon Carroll filed HB 4259 on Monday in Springfield. The legislation would impact those residents who choose not to receive COVID-19 vaccines, and would require them to cover medical costs associated with contracting the virus, even if they have health insurance. Carroll says that the bill would serve as an incentive to residents to get vaccinated, and would help curb the spread of the virus...

Over the past eight decades there have many frauds promoted by the mainstream media. Perhaps the most notable, and consequential, was the media persuading an overwhelming majority of citizens over the years that their brand of journalism is a not only the epitome of a noble profession but one that always strives to be fair and balanced. But the legacy of the mainstream media is that it has always been the cheerleaders and propaganda arm of the left and the Democrat Party. The modern-day mainstream media can trace its beginning to the passage of the Communications Act of 1934, which...

On Wednesday Georgia election operatives Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea “Shaye” Moss sued The Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft and Joe Hoft for allegedly conducting a “campaign of lies” against the two women that led to online and in-person harassment against the two women. The organization behind the lawsuit is called Protect Democracy, a large far-left political organization. This was taken from their announcement. Truth is the foundation of a healthy democracy. Disinformation threatens that foundation, especially when it targets election officials. Two women who served as election workers in Fulton County, Georgia during the 2020 election today filed a...

A group led by longtime GOP strategist Bill Kristol and a group of fellow so-called Never Trump Republicans raised more than $35 million during the 2020 election, funding projects that targeted then-President Donald Trump. It was a record haul for the relatively young nonprofit organization, which was established in 2018, the second year of Trump’s term in office. In 2019, it raised $9 million, according to a filing. The group, called Defending Democracy Together, used its haul to spend more than $13 million on grants during 2020. Its biggest single contribution, $6 million, went toward one of the group’s projects,...

Scientists at the DFS found the synthetic drugs during a routine study of used syringes in September and October, The Washington Post reported. The opioids - called protonitazene and isotonitazene - were found to be several times more potent than fentanyl.
