When you sit down to write a column and the first word you write nearly breaks the “F” key, then you have to continually erase it, well, it’s a way to tell you’re in a mood. And nothing deserves a “mood” like dealing with the worst creatures on the planet since life crawled out of the primordial ooze: Democrats. How depraved must a group of people be to have Hillary Clinton step forward as the person to speak out on this so-called “Signal scandal”? That’s like hiring OJ Simpson to be the spokesmodel for your battered women’s shelter or Bill...

The funny thing about being famous is there will always be people who hate you. Fame is like that, and that’s the world Donald Trump comes out of. So when he hears that people hate him, in a way, it’s like a normal part of the job. Politicians don’t want to inspire indifference, but hatred is worse. While Trump is very much loved by his die-hard supporters, he is also hated by many more people, and not just Democrats and never-Trump Republicans

Honest to God, Pennsylvania sucks. There are some good areas and some good people up there, but for the most part the entire state is just this side of a clogged toilet politically. Not the system, the people they elect. Smart and good people don’t tend to elect morons; elected officials usually reflect the majority of their constituents. Given what the Keystone State has sent to Washington and their own capitol, the state sucks. Advertisement This isn’t just about Senator John Frankenstein’s Monster Fetterman, though he is a big part of it. It’s also about their Governor, Josh Shapiro, and...

Joe Biden is a wildly unpopular man. The media continually tells us how “likeable” he is, but the public isn’t buying it. The talking heads on left-wing cable insist he’s really just a genuine guy who cares for people, a “devout Catholic,” but we see differently and choose to believe our lying eyes over lying Democrats. What about the people who know him best though? Surely they love him, right? Not so much. My wife and I recently took our kids to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, for a few days. We wanted to enjoy the weather, the ocean and particularly a...

Let me be clear, I don’t give a damn about what happened to Paul Pelosi. It’s not that I want harm to come to the guy, I don’t want harm to come to almost anyone, but if the left is going to use his attack to smear me and my side of the political aisle, why the hell would I care about the person being used to facilitate it? The whole thing has a Jussie Smollett feel to it, to be honest, where everything “reported” fits perfectly into what Democrats need it to be and the truth, as is always...

“You’re a homophobe, now buy my product” is not the best sales pitch in the world, but when you’ve got nothing else you go with it because when you’re as dumb as a hammer, everything is a nail. That’s a confusing and convoluted opening sentence, but I wrote it on purpose to illustrate a point – leftists hate you AND desperately want your money and can’t come to terms with that. Return the first and deny the second, leaving them to continue to wrestle with the third. Americans are pretty good at not giving money to people who hold them...

Stop the presses, the President of the United States gave an interview! That, in and of itself, shouldn’t be newsworthy, but when you’re dealing with an insulated moron who hasn’t given an interview in the gestation period of a human being it is a bit of news. And when that interview is with the vaunted 60 Minutes, it is important. Or at least it used to be. Much like Meet the Press dined out for years on the job Tim Russert did – getting credit for being a place for “tough” interviews based on his reputation while subsequent hosts slobbered...

Honestly, did you think Joe Biden could be as incompetent as he has been? I knew he would be bad, his combination of senility and stupidity was never going to lead anywhere good, but to be this systemically bad on everything is almost more of a skill than an accident. You’d really have to try to suck as badly as he does. You would think that sooner or later he’d hit bottom, after all, there’s only so much sucking someone can do, right? You’d be right to think that, but wrong if you did. Every single day, when the President...

The anniversary of the Capitol Hill riot on January 6th was something the average media liberal celebrated more than the birth of their first child, and they probably love it more too. Wall-to-wall coverage on CNN and MSNBC, with a chunky Weeble Brian Stelter at CNN even complaining that Fox News had chosen to start every hour with actual current news, only later getting to the anniversary, because too much is never enough. When Democrats had a chance to cover an earlier riot, something closer to an actual insurrection, they chose not to. They didn’t even bother to draw an...

When the leader of your party can only be viewed as popular when compared to the number 2 person in your party, your party has problems. That’s where Democrats find themselves right now. The only person voters like less than President Joe Biden is Vice President Kamala Harris. It couldn’t happen to a nicer, more deserving group of humans. The panic it has started is not only something to behold, but something Republicans had better prepare for. Republicans need to pay attention because Democrats painted into a corner will become more desperate than usual, and desperate Democrats are capable of...

Beauty is only skin deep, but in the case of the NBC News race-baiting host ironically named Joy Reid, every bit of her is ugly. She finds race everywhere, especially when it’s not there. It’s her brand, and hate is her medium – her sculptor’s clay. She works in racism the way Van Gogh used paints or Hunter Biden uses crack, it’s where she thrives and all she brings to the table. Inside and out, Reid is the worst person on cable news, and NBC News, which employs her, Comcast, which owns NBC Universal, and every Comcast customer pays her...

I was a decent hockey player and an average baseball player, but there is no sporting event that exists that I don’t know exactly what the participants should have done. If they had all, and I do mean all, listened to me, they would have easily won or succeeded at whatever personal objective they were attempting to achieve. You’re probably the same way. It’s called “Monday Morning Quarterbacking” for a reason, and everyone is guilty of it. Sometimes, however, no matter how insistent the “quarterbacks” are after the fact, there really weren’t that many options at the time. You get...

Everyone knows someone who is “like family.” Some neighbor or friend of the family who is thought of as an aunt or uncle, cousin or sibling, whatever, for a large period of their life. Then that person dies and everyone discovers that while they were “like family,” they structured their last will and testament to make sure all their earthly possessions go to their actual family. That’s the difference between “like” and actual. The New York Times ran an op-ed this week calling for people who consider themselves to be “like Americans” to be able to vote in our elections....

Everyone grew up with someone who obnoxiously would recount everything you’d just gone through, to the people who were, like they weren’t – “Did you see that chick who started talking to you?” Yeah, I was talking to her. “My God, she just walked right up and started talking to you!” For some reason, Facebook thinks commercials feature people like this is a good way to get Congress to allow them to rewrite Internet regulations. If you’ve watched cable TV at all in the last month you’ve seen one of those stupid ads from Facebook calling for new Internet regulations....

Everyone knows hate is the exclusive domain of the right, right? I mean, I’ve seen MSNBC, and truth-teller Joy Reid would never lie, nor would the gang at Morning Joe. I’ve also watched CNN, where Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon have assured me the only lies in media come from conservatives. That means it must be true, because they’ve won journalism awards, and they don’t give those out to just anyone…only to just about everyone. Of course, these people not only lie, it’s the main thing they do for a living. When not lying, they are ignoring, sweeping stories that...

Imagine General Dwight Eisenhower on June 6, 1944, speaking to the troops and after saying, “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you,” he tosses in a, “But not Italians, or Irish, and certainly not any of you from California because Californians suck. I hope they get shot. When the bullets start flying, use those people as human shields.” How would that go over? Not well. Would you follow that guy into...

Cox Media Group is moving into the post-Rush Limbaugh era with new programs on news/talkers WSB-WSBB-FM (750/95.5) Atlanta and WOKV-FM Jacksonville (104.5).Erik Erickson moves from 4-6pm to 12-3pm at WSB, followed by one-hour of Sean Hannity (3-4pm) and then Mark Arum from 4-7pm, who adjusts from his current 6-8pm show hours. The final two hours of Hannity will air from 7-9pm.“I would never have gotten into radio without encouragement from Rush Limbaugh who has been gracious over the years with a lot of great advice and guidance,” Erickson, who has been with the station for a decade, said in a...

On Friday, President Donald Trump announced he had signed “a very strong Executive Order protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues - and combatting recent Criminal Violence. Long prison terms for these lawless acts against our Great Country!” Great news, of course. But, if I’m being honest, it’s not enough to make a difference this fall. There is, however, a golden opportunity out there for either candidate willing to stand up to the mutant army currently destroying cities and statues. That opportunity is only for one of them. They just have to do it soon, and they have to do it...

People tend to come together in moments of crisis, most people anyway. There’s always that selfish jerk in a zombie movie interested in grabbing the wads of cash or something else they’d always wanted but couldn’t get before everything went to hell, and it usually costs them. Democrats are that selfish guy. And while it varies what the cost is in the movies – either his life or the life of someone else – in the case of coronavirus, let it be the political lives of every Democrat, because they truly are bad people. [snip] The words necessary to accurately...

I’ve always said Washington, DC, is nothing but high school with paychecks – big paychecks covered by our money – but this has never been more on display than it was this week. Democrats pulled the equivalent of a “meet me at the monkey bars after school” move this week when they followed Nancy Pelosi’s lead after she accused the President of the United States of engaging in a “cover up.” The only thing missing from the allegation was any mention of what exactly was being covered up. But we’re in a post-fact world so what it is the President...
