Don't fool yourself; the Democrats and the mainstream media don't want to cancel the next two presidential debates because they are worried about Americans' delicate sensibilities. Are you kidding me? They know that the ailing Joe Biden is hanging by a thread, and they're scared. Even if they believe Biden won the debate, as they claim, they know it was only by default -- because of a possible negative reaction to Donald Trump, as opposed to anything impressive coming from Biden. They'll do everything they can to avoid Biden taking the risk of being blown out of the water in...

Fifty to 100 years from now, will historians be able to piece together how half of the United States, namely the political left, fell prey to mass insanity? Throughout history, subgroups within larger populations have exhibited delusional behavior. In the early 1930s, as a classic example, considerable numbers of Germans, under the sway of Adolf Hitler, believed that they were Earth’s natural leaders.

They are dragging all those from the center to the...
