Race-based death panels for White Covid-19 patients are here. The lead story on Fox News’ website on Saturday reported that the Biden Administration was telling hospitals that “certain Covid patients may qualify for treatment faster based on their RACE” [emphasis original]. Earlier the same day, the Washington Free Beacon examined the story in considerable detail. The roots of this de facto medical racism were first exposed in several articles at American Thinker by this writer, including on November 25, 2020 and on April 26, 2021. Back then, this toxic phenomenon of providing medical treatments based on the patient’s race or...

Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) blamed the combination of former President Donald Trump and “profit-driven radio” for changing the GOP base. According to Kinzinger, those radio shows turned the base “into this angry, fearful” and “victimized group of people.” He added Trump and the base “fed off each other.” “Did Donald Trump reveal what the Republican Party is or change it?” host Chuck Todd asked. “You know, I think it’s actually a little bit of both,” Kinzinger replied. “So, I think, on the one hand, Donald Trump is a symptom of years and years...

Across the country, Americans are fleeing “blue” cities and states led by progressive Democrats and moving to “red” communities governed by Republicans. Americans are voting with their feet in substantial numbers. This trend has been apparent for years, but it is now accelerating. In 2021, the state with the biggest loss of population was New York, which suffered a decline of 319,020 people. Until recently, left-wing Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo led New York. After he was forced to resign for his inappropriate behavior toward multiple women, his successor, Kathy Hochul, has continued his progressive policies with the same disastrous results....

Clarence Thomas has long understood the terrible constitutional perversion the Supreme Court imposed on America, and this is his time to roar. As if we needed confidence in yet another American institution destroyed, we were treated with a true spectacle of deceit in last Friday’s Supreme Court’s oral arguments on OSHA’s vaccine mandates. With the hysterical hyperbole of a CNN anchor, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a self-proclaimed “wise Latina woman,” refuted that description by declaring, “We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators. We have over 100,000 children, which we’ve never had before, in...

Sen. Ted Cruz created angst among Democrats when he kicked off the new year saying if Republicans recapture the House, resident Joe Biden could be impeached based on the standard Democrats established themselves. “The Democrats weaponized impeachment,” the Texas senator said. The central warning in “Abuse of Power,” was that applying impeachment without a demonstrable crime, the political equivalent of the death penalty, and nullifying an election should not occur—nor should the attempt thereof even if there is no chance of a Senate conviction. “The more you weaponize it and turn it into a partisan cudgel, you know, what’s good...

Garland, in the manner of A. Mitchell Palmer, Woodrow Wilson's attorney general, won't be satisfied until he gathers up thousands more innocent people in a bald attempt to intimidate the Republican party. History will record, once the storm clouds of leftist propaganda are dispelled by the winds of truth, that President Trump's remarks on January 6, 2021, were a defense of the Constitution, American democracy -- and criticism of weak-kneed Republicans, addressed to tens of thousands of his patriotic supporters. Here is the text of those remarks. President Trump was equally on target when, a year and a day after...

You can count on three fingers how much Al Sharpton has in common with Pastor Corey Brooks, the pastor who’s on a 100-day rooftop “campout” in frigid, single-digit weather to bring attention to the culture of violence and poverty in Chicago. They’re both black. They’re both focused on issues in troubled black communities. And they both hold titles as members of the Christian clergy. Other than that, these men are worlds apart in their approach to solving the generational problems of blacks – especially young black men – in urban areas. Sharpton curses the darkness from a distance, then adds...

The COVID pandemic appears to supply yet another pretext for the move towards bigger and more authoritarian government. In his classic book, Crisis and Leviathan, economic historian Robert Higgs introduced a key concept that he called “the ratchet effect.” Higgs noted that the power of government grows during times of crisis, such as war or national depression, but that once the crisis passes, the newly acquired power of the State doesn't recede back to its original level. Higgs explained: “After the ideological transformation that took place during the Progressive Era, each genuine crisis has been the occasion for another ratchet...

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings (as said by Tyrion Lannister) The recent social media banishment of Dr. Robert Malone, a Covidstan dissident who likely presented more of a threat than our Big Tech overlords were willing to stomach thanks to his expertise and contribution to the development of mRNA technology, has again brought leftist censorship to the forefront of the public consciousness. Malone, who joined other prominent figures like feminist author Naomi Wolf,...

Senior medics have criticised an unvaccinated intensive care doctor who challenged the health secretary over his policy of mandatory Covid jabs for NHS staff, with one saying his comments were “an anti-vax wet dream”. Steve James, a consultant anaesthetist at Kings College Hospital in London, last week told a visiting Sajid Javid “the science is not strong enough” to insist on compulsory vaccination. His comments have been criticised by some of his NHS colleagues, with one arguing that he should be suspended. David Nicholl, a consultant neurologist, said: “If an individual like that worked for me they would be suspended...

A primary school teacher who sent thousands of pounds to people and groups linked to terrorism has been banned from the classroom. Miriam Sebbagh sent money to a person connected to Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) – of which Anjem Choudary was among the prominent members - and an individual who was thought to have left the UK to join Isis. She also sent extremist videos which promoted violent jihad. The 52-year-old, who worked at Hunwick primary school in Crook, County Durham, has now been banned from teaching "indefinitely" by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA). Sebbagh was arrested by Counter Terrorism Policing North...

As shocking as it may seem, the Democrats are right about something for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day; even Eric Swalwell occasionally mates with someone who is not a Chi Com spy, shutting her eyes tight and doing her booty duty for Beijing. The Dems are right that we need election reform to save our democracy. I propose that we change how we conduct elections, good and hard.Now, the Democrats have a very different objective in reforming the election system than we do. They seek to make it easier for lazy and stupid people to...

Aside from labeling herself an “affirmative action baby,” Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor once suggested she was a “wise Latina.” Given this, apropos here is a line from ancient Chinese sage Confucius: “Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it; and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it.” Sotomayor certainly failed this test during oral arguments on Friday over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 “vaccine” mandates, making outlandishly incorrect claims that have brought her mockery. “We have hospitals that are almost at full capacity with people severely ill on ventilators,” she stated...

You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push-back against the Democrats. The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are both attached to the body of big corrupt government. In this food supply chain issue, the Republican wing sees an opportunity. In this food supply chain issue, the Democrat wing sees an opportunity. Governor Kristi Noem is the Koch Brothers version of Nikki Haley. A Wall Street donor favorite and open border immigration advocate who has been positioned to be a potential Republican candidate for...

In Supreme Court arguments on the OSHA COVID Vaccination Mandate case, the “Wise Latina” revealed at least Sixth Degree Stupidity for all to see. One should not casually suggest that a graduate of law school who has ascended through the ranks to the highest Court in the land is stupid. But that is the inescapable conclusion her performance requires. For those who missed the demonstration of her upward failure, we must present the details. But first, we must look at the question the Supreme Court is supposedly trying to address. Justice Kavanaugh granted the emergency appeal in NFIB v OSHA,...
