RIP to a great athlete. Wonder what Terry "that's horse paste, man" Bradshaw is thinking right now?

..... And I'll never know whether or not it's COVID, because I refuse to get tested. Started getting chills and body aches after attending a Christmas party. Not crazy shivers and fever like the flu, but more mild. Rested all day today, took Tylenol, and feeling much better. Will rest again tomorrow and see if I develop stuffed nose and cough. The point is, prior to COVID, if a bunch of people who know each other, or work together, were getting sick, they'd say "I think there's something going around". And then they'd get over it and get back on...

It's a given that the main reason why the Trump hating Uniparty and media don't want full forensic audits of the contested States to take place is because they fear these audits will reveal massive fraud. But there's another reason as well. And the fact that audits are already happening in Maricopa County, AZ, and Windham, NH, means the damage has already been done. Allow me to explain. There are two parts to the Uniparty/media narrative regarding election fraud. The first part of this narrative is that there's absolutely no reason to do any full forensic audits, because the 2020...

It's nice that some Republicans stuck up for Trump. Mo Brooks, Josh Hawley, Matt Gaetz, and Lauren Boebert all come to mind. But upon further reflection, did anybody have the guts to state the obvious, and say "nothing short of a full forensic audit in the contested States will clear the air over who really won this election...there is no excuse for avoiding this, except covering up fraud"? Maybe one or two people said something equally strong, and I just missed it. I know that Ted Cruz said something about the PA cover up, and one of the many PA...

Like many others who have been glued to political blogs and podcasts since election night, I have been constantly checking for any news that might "break the dam" and, effectively, "stop the steal" in it's tracks. And like many others, it's been a 7 week long emotional rollercoaster, with some occasion highs, but an overall sense of frustration and anger. After weeks of public hearings, rumors about gunfights between the CIA and Special Forces, speculation about the DNI report, Electoral college challenges, SCOTUS, etc, etc, I feel that it's time to take a step back, recalibrate, and try to see...

Calling all NY, NJ, CT Freepers!

Okay folks, thanks to brave Patriot Jesse Morgan's testimony yesterday, we now have a smoking gun that can be traced directly to a specific location where there are obviously corrupt Post Office supervisors. I know there's a lot of mobilized Trump supporters in the Ronkonkoma Long Island area. Not sure if any of them are Freepers here, but hopefully somebody with some connection to them will read this. The Bethpage, Long Island Post Office needs to be occupied by protesters. Same applies to Post Office in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Jesse Morgan was supposed to deliver all those phony ballots. Here...

After HotAir went over to the dark side over the past 4 years, I started reading RedState again and was pleased to see that Erick Erickson was no longer associated with them. But ever since Wednesday morning, I've been keeping an eye on the tone of Conservative blogs. RedState seemss quite calm and unperturbed by the steal. Yes, they've done some stories about alleged voter fraud, but their heart doesn't seem to be very into it. So far they have no stories about Giuliani's press conference today. But they did have a story sticking up for Dan Crenshaw in his...

Back in the early part of the year, prior to the COVID-19 lockdowns, a lot of people, including the likes of Dr. Fauci and Anderson Cooper, told us we should be more worried about the seasonal flu than COVID-19. Typically, around 55,000 Americans die every year from seasonal flu. There are all these websites out there tracking COVID-19 deaths. They tell us how many people died each day from COVID-19 in each State and each country. Currently over 122,000 people have supposedly died in America from COVID-19. So are there another 55,000 people who died from the seasonal flu in...

According to the Left, White supremacists are everywhere. Their narrative is that Trump has emboldened these haters. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been screaming about how racist hate groups are "dangerously" on the rise. Charlottesville was supposedly proof of this. All our cultural institutions are obsessed with racism. The media, academia, Hollywood, Liberal activists, and Democrat politicians all tell us that racism in America is every bit as prevalent as it ever was, it's just less overt. In order to convince us that this is true, they scare people into thinking that a small handful of losers and misfits...

Some have mentioned that if we adjust for changes in population over the last 50 years (328 million now versus 200 million then), then the US death toll of 100,000 from the Hong-Kong flu of 1968-69 would have to be bumped up to 164,000. But there's another very important data point that has to be factored in as well. The population of senior citizens in the US has risen almost 70% compared to 50 years ago. Senior citizens 65 years and older make up approximately 75% of US COVID-19 deaths, around 60,000. If the percentage of senior citizens in the...

To all people with common sense, who have watched events unfold over the past two months, and have made the attempt to read and inform themselves, carefully weighing data, and keeping an open mind, only to ultimately conclude that COVID-19 is not the Black plague, or even a Screaming Blue Meanie, and are mad as hell about it! Mad about the inaccurate predictions. Mad about massive government overreach. Mad about the scare tactics. And most of all, mad at the easily manipulated sheeple and the naked attempt by politicians to use this flu as a last ditch attempt to defeat...

While I have always been an ardent supporter of the Conservative media and blogosphere, it is often frustrating to see Conservative pundits fall into the trap of lending legitimacy to the Left's talking points, even when they think they're challenging these talking points. The issue of "White privilege" is a perfect example of this. Instead of thoroughly debunking the notion of White privilege, I have witnessed people whom I respect and admire, like Jordan Peterson and Laura Ingraham, making the argument that "yes, maybe White people do enjoy some privilege, but how do you measure and quantify exactly how much...

If there's one thing I've learned from this whole Covington Catholic boys incident, it's that instead of getting angry at the Left for their anti-White/anti-White male rhetoric, we should be mocking the Left, because their hostility to Whites and White males is as phony and disingenuous as everything else they say and do. We've seen Left wing comedians making homophobic jokes about Trump and Putin. We've seen Gay rights activists turning a blind eye to Muslim homophobia. We've seen Feminists trashing self made women like Sarah Palin and Kellyanne Conway. We've seen female victims of sexual harassment at the hands...

The similarities are quite eerie, have you noticed? Before Trump supporters had time to truly savor his victory in November 2016, there was a sudden media blitz, reporting outlandish accusations against the President elect.....He was paying prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed in Russia, among other vulgar acts. The election was over, but hold on just a minute, not so fast! If these allegations were true, then how on earth could Trump possibly be sworn into office? After a circus like Senate judiciary hearing for SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, it looked like Trump's pick would sail through the confirmation...

The Supreme Court means everything to the Democrats. It is their main weapon for advancing their Leftist agenda, which they have had a lot of trouble advancing through the ballot box. So there's nothing far fetched about imagining that there are committed Leftists who have been assigned the task of digging into every aspect of the lives of anyone who could potentially become a Conservative Supreme Court nominee, appointed by a Republican POTUS, years before these judges could be tapped for a nomination. If such an opposition researcher was looking into Brett Kavanaugh's past, they would surely think that they...

We keep hearing it over and over again. It started during Trump's 2016 campaign, and it's still the Left's favorite explanation for why Trump won...."White people fear that the country is becoming more and more racially diverse, and they are losing their power. They see Trump as someone who can restore some of their power, if only temporarily". Wait a second, I thought ALL Republican Presidential nominees were dog whistle racists, going all the way back to bogus claims of Nixon's "Southern strategy", where the phrase "law and order" was interpreted to mean flogging Blacks? So what was Trump saying...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times….at least in the eyes of the media and Feminists. The parallels between Sarah Palin and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez are striking. Both are attractive, spirited women who came from humble, working class families. Both launched political careers when they were in their late 20’s. And both were instantly thrust into the national spotlight. But while the media and Feminists have showered Ocasio Cortez with love letters, bouquets of flowers, and boxes of chocolates, they showered Palin with rocks, bottles, and Molotov cocktails. One would have to be quite naïve...

Walking around Manhattan during the month of June, Rainbow Pride flags are on display everywhere. In the windows of large chain stores and banks, as well as small eateries and bars. Williams Sonoma had a display of dishes in their window that represented the Rainbow Pride flag colors. Zara clothing store was selling men's tank tops that look like they were specially designed to replicate the exact shades of each of the Rainbow Pride flag colors. They all hung from a rack in the designated order of colors, approximating the flag. Last night, Madison Square Garden was lit up in...

Like many people, over the past week, I've read a lot of opinion pieces about what happened in Charlottesville last weekend, and about President Trump's reaction to it. But there's one very important point that I didn't hear any writers making, though several readers alluded to it in online comments sections. Groups like Antifa, are part of a growing cult, whose central command is college campuses. This cult I'm referring to is Marxist/Atheist inspired White self loathing and repentance, which is born out of the "oppressed vs oppressor " theories of Antonio Gramsci, the father of Cultural Marxism. There's a...
