President Donald Trump was having a great time working at McDonald's on Sunday. If anyone else had done it, they probably would have looked awkward. But he looked like he was in his element, especially when he was greeting people at the drive-thru window and handing out orders. This was the "joy" and the fun that the Kamala campaign can't duplicate. The customers and the crowd outside just loved it, and you could tell he was having a great time. Trump's McDonald's visit was a very clever move.Here's why:- He's in Pennsylvania, a critical swing state.- It's absolutely hilarious --...

The result of the Saturday (19th) provincial election in British Columbia is basically a dead heat between the social democrats (NDP) and conservatives (BC Conservative Party) with the Greens holding on to two seats and apparently the balance of power. The results at present are 46 NDP, 45 Con and 2 Green (47 needed for a bare majority). (47 bears are needed for a bear majority) Two to five seats are still not settled, two will definitely need a recount (by law, as results are within 100 votes) and three could still change hands when a few votes not yet...

Preventing bogus ballots should not be treated like a moral or theological issue. When did verifying votes become a crime against democracy? Why is the Justice Department crusading to turn voting into an entitlement program for non-citizens? Do Democrats seek to make the...

I saw this sign today in my neighborhood. I take particular exception to this one.It isn't just the open usage of a libelous slander that bothers me, it is the open support for people who wish to destroy this country.I saw this sign, and thought this of the person who put that sign out: "You may be a veteran, but if you support the Democrat Party, you are both a sucker and a loser.I give default respect to anyone who has served. In the absence of any indication that the person might not be deserving of respect, they get it,...

At age 54, the actor who played patriarch Charles Ingalls in "Little House on the Prairie" was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died three months after publicly announcing his diagnosis in 1991.

The CBS “news” organization has finally broken its silence on its fraudulent interview with Kamala Harris, where they cut and replaced her statements in response to a question. Without providing evidence, CBS claims that the response they edited into the interview was the same but “a different portion of the response.” The statement continues, “The portion of her answer on 60 Minutes was more succinct, which allows time for other subjects in a wide-ranging 21-minute-long segment.” This comes after CBS’s’ 60 Minutes’ was exposed for cutting Kamala’s nonsensical answer to a question and replacing it with a completely separate sentence...
