Have you noticed how many on the right have changed from being for vaccine choice to becoming anti-vaccine regarding COVID-19? It’s so subtle that most of us haven’t noticed, but there is definitely a shift taking place. This is worrisome, because a lot of elderly people with susceptible conditions are placing themselves at risk of dying without getting the vaccine. Now, what if this is because there is a secret effort on the left to push this shift, since it will result in fewer voters on the right? A look at the data across the U.S. in counties with the...

On April 15, 2021, Carl Mock was attacked by a grizzly bear, just outside of Yellowstone Park. Mock was an accomplished woodsman and guide. He did not have a firearm with him. He had bear spray. He used the bear spray but was fatally injured.irected to Montana Fish and Wildlife Morgan Jacobsen, was able to determine bear spray had been used in the incident. Initially, the use of bear spray was reported as unknown by ktla.com: Mock when attacked had bear spray — a Mace-like deterrent meant to protect against attacks — but officials said they did not know if...

The truth is starting to leak out of Fauci like air from an old tire Fauci’s latest adventure in truth-telling involves his bringing U.S. money to research in China. Over the last twenty months, Americans have learned that Anthony Fauci, the highest-paid federal employee, has a very utilitarian approach to the truth. In other words, he’ll say whatever is useful to him at the moment and call it the truth. However, eventually, when sufficiently cornered or unguarded, the truth will out. In this case, Fauci blundered into admitting that he knew that he, on behalf of the United States, was...

Former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele said Monday that he won’t run for Maryland governor, but will remain part of the national political conversation and wants to see the GOP better define what it stands for. “I made the decision to stand down this round,” said Steele, a Republican MSNBC commentator and ardent critic of former President Donald Trump. “It’s not something the family wants me to do right now,” the Prince George’s County resident said in an interview. “My wife has never been a big fan of the political landscape. At the end of the day, you can’t be governor...

Democrats in Congress are conspiring and plotting to federalize elections to make it easier for them to retain control of the federal government. They are pushing unconstitutional legislation that violates the power of states to run elections. To do this, Democrats need to blow up the filibuster. This desperate act by Democrats is nothing more than an insurrection against federalism. Democrats see cratering poll numbers for President Biden and are in panic mode about the fall midterm elections. If Republicans want to protect the integrity of elections, they need to fight the Democratic plan to put unelected federal bureaucrats in...

If they both decide to run, two Michigan congressman will be facing off against each other in the August 2022 Republican primary. The new U.S. House map drawn up by the Michigan redistricting committee puts incumbent Republicans Fred Upton and Bill Huizenga both in the 4th District. Huizenga says he is running, while Upton, the longest-serving Congressman in the state, has not made an announcement. The 3rd District would also shift to include Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, and Muskegon and Congressman Pete Meijer plans to run. He made his announcement Tuesday “Michigan’s new Third Congressional District, including my hometown of...

Obvious question: is it an aberration or is it for real? Alas, a cursory examination suggests it may be for real. A recent shocking report in American Thinker suggests that life insurance payouts are considerably worse then executives expected. Obvious question: is it an aberration or is it for real? Alas, a cursory examination suggests it may be for real. The scan of the following insurance companies confirms the initial report. For Prudential, they have had a massive 87% increase in death benefits paid comparing the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021. Such a detailed breakdown...

While all facts are true, not all facts are relevant. And what are the relevant facts in this crisis where 100,000 Russian troops are now stationed along the Ukrainian border? Fact one: There is not now and never has been a vital U.S. interest in Ukraine to justify risking a war with Russia. History tells us that. Even as Ukraine was suffering in the Stalin-induced Holodomor, the terror-famine of 1932-33, President Franklin Roosevelt granted diplomatic recognition to the Bolshevik regime. During four decades of Cold War, the U.S. never regarded Moscow's control of Ukraine as any threat to the USA....

@bostonradio2 tweet: "Nancy Shack, Jeff Kuhner’s producer on WRKO 680, just confirmed that he caught Delta variant a week before Christmas. He was treated with Monoclonal Antibodies which apparently saved his life. He still refuses to be vaxxed and expected to be back on air next Monday, January 10."

Our liberal and lefty friends cannot believe that their Sacred Beliefs are primitive throwbacks to the good old days of tribal chiefs and shamans. It’s that time of the year, when everyone is forecasting the future. But the whole business of forecasting is useless, because the future is a combination of same-old-same-old and the unexpected. That is why humans have invented prophecy, examining runes and entrails and the results of economic and climate models to divine the future. And the prophecy better make a good story, because nobody wants to hear the same-old-same-old! And who has a clue about the...

With the anniversary of January 6th this week, Democrats are using it to push massive election reforms. They claim the reforms are necessary to save Democracy. Indeed, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says the situation is so dire that it is necessary to change long-held Senate rules so that Democrats can pass the bill on a pure party-line vote. The For the People Act of 2021 replaces state voter ID rules with a signed statement from the voter, and makes permanent the pandemic’s mail-in ballot voting. The mailing out of blank absentee ballots en masse would become a fixture...

The instant you cross the line by promoting racist assumptions about people, including "white privilege," and "people of color cannot be racist," you have made yourself part of the very problem you claim you want to solve. Recent actions by Stanford University's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, and those of their ilk reinforce the widespread and growing perception that DEI is no better than phrenology; the quack pseudoscience that, among other things, used head shapes to "prove" Black people to be inferior to Caucasians. The issue involves not just a handful of DEI practitioners, "a few," or even "some."...

The inevitable result of poor leadership is failure and, at times, disaster. This is precisely what is happening under the inept, self-serving, bumbling leadership of President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a trio of Democrat misleaders. Democrat "leadership" failures to date include an out-of-control southern border, a weakened and inflated economy, a national crime wave, loss of energy independence, inept COVID response, the Afghanistan travesty and cowardice before Russia, Communist China, Iran and North Korea. The Democrat's trio of misleaders fail even the most basic leadership tests. At no time in our lives...

Why don't the union bosses in America represent their union members anymore? Could it be because the union leadership has become more beholden to the Democratic politicians in Washington than the rank-and-file workers who pay the dues? We saw an example of this betrayal of the workers not long ago when the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters brass endorsed Joe Biden for president -- even though Biden openly opposed all fossil fuels and wanted to end the building of pipelines. Talk about selling the rope to the hangman. The union bosses acted surprised that Biden's first act as...

Texas has become the seventh state to decline any role in enforcing the Pentagon’s federal vaccine mandate upon its state National Guard, setting up a potential showdown between the state and the federal government over the matter.Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced his refusal to direct the Texas National Guard to obey the federal vaccine mandate, in a letter sent to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin earlier this month. The Governors of Alaska, Mississippi, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming have originally expressed the same sentiment to the Secretary of Defense, with Oklahoma becoming the first state to fight against the federal vaccine mandate...

A recently published study suggests that nearly every COVID vaccine recipient who died within seven days to six months after inoculation likely died because of vaccine-induced autoimmune damage.A paper entitled “On COVID vaccines: why they cannot work, and irrefutable evidence of their causative role in deaths after vaccination” was published by Sucharit Bhakdi, M.D. and Arne Burkhardt, M.D., both Germany-based and widely published scientists in their fields. The findings were presented during an interdisciplinary symposium on COVID shots’ safety and efficacy on December 10, and if they received the attention and regard they deserve from health authorities, the vaccination campaign...

GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania -- The "Let's Go Brandon" message on the Hoods Up Quick Lube sign was up for four days, but it was long enough for the owners to make their point. Ever since Oct. 3, when an NBC reporter interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown mistook a vulgar chant from the crowd -- "F--- Joe Biden" -- as "Let's Go Brandon," the phrase has gone viral. Within days, people across the country were sharing their displeasure with the president by putting up homemade "Let's Go Brandon" signs along roadways. They've been chanting the message at high school football games, wearing...
