Soon to be former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, perhaps suffering brain from too much gourmet ice cream in her San Francisco industrial sixe freezer, was mystified in explaining the wave of lawlessness sweeping the country which liberals finally noticed when smash-and-grab looters switched targets from now-abandoned Walgreens drug stores to the high-end stores and shops patronized by the rich and famous like herself. Press Secretary Jen Psaki has blamed rising crime and shoplifting on the pandemic as if looters are hoping those Louis Vitton bags they are running off with are filled with monoclonal antibodies. No thought is given to...

Our favorite Based Iranian Father returned to the Loudoun County School Board last night. Rather, I should call him Master Based Iranian Father. The last time we saw him, he said "Master" is his preferred pronoun. Master B.I.F. returned to express his disagreement over how the school board covered up one or two alleged rapes that happened in the school.

Tom Cotton called revelations that Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared to have lied about “gain-of-function” research at a Chinese lab at the center of the coronavirus pandemic “one of the biggest scandals in Washington” and said the infectious diseases expert should be investigated and prosecuted.

Tom Cotton of Arkansas tweeted. “He should immediately address the nation and...

The Senate on Tuesday passed an amendment that bans federal tax dollars from being used to promote or teach critical race theory (CRT), a quasi-Marxist ideology, in schools. The amendment, introduced by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), was included in the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation budget package. Last month, the Arkansas senator introduced the Stop CRT Act to prevent federal funds from being funneled to teach the theory in public schools.

It’s bad when the radical left is affecting so much, from media to academia.But, what’s worse is that they are now they have control and are indoctrinating the military as well, the one segment of society that’s supposed to be free of politics and only concentrating on the defense of the United States.We saw a sample of how bad this was in March, with military men from official accounts — and even the official Defense Department website — attacking Tucker Carlson.But it appears to have gotten worse since then.During a recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)...

Last year Dr. Anthony Fauci pushed back hard disputing me, Sen. Tom Cotton and Fox’s Maria Bartiromo, who first asserted COVID-19 most likely came from a bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China. We now know from his recently released emails his pushback was part of a broader cover-up of his likely role in creating the pandemic. If the virus came from the Wuhan lab — which it almost certainly did — if the virus has been weaponized using so-called gain-of-function tools — which it almost surely has — and if those experiments were paid for by Fauci’s NIH — which they...

A February 2020 statement signed by more than two dozen scientists that claimed the coronavirus naturally jumped from humans to animals was “orchestrated” to hurt then-President Donald Trump politically, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) charged Tuesday night. “This is the Russia dossier all over again,” Graham told Fox News’ “Hannity.” “This stinks to high heaven. This is lab-gate, China-gate, call it whatever you want to call it.” Graham was referring to a message published in the British medical journal The Lancet that dismissed the theory that the virus accidentally leaked out of a virology lab in Wuhan, China. “We stand together...

"A lot of people have egg on their face" for dismissing the COVID-19 lab leak theory, tweeted ABC News ' Jonathan Karl this week. "Some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them."Or if Arkansas Tom Cotton did. "We still don't know where coronavirus originated. Could have been a market, a farm, a food processing company," he said in January 2020. "I would note that Wuhan has China's only biosafety level-four super laboratory that works with the world's most deadly pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus."Cotton never said he was certain the virus came from a lab leak and...

Finally Some StonesSenator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rep. Crenshaw (R-Texas) have launched a whisteblower site to combat wokeism in the military, and it’s not a moment too soon.As reported earlier the woke crowd is moving in on the military. Former Space Force Commander Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was fired for speaking out against Marxism and the racism that is critical race theory (CRT).“There were videos being sent out to every base, service member”, Lohmeier explained to Hannity. “that we were asked to watch in preparation for our extremism down days and discussions on race in which we were taught that...

Pardon the whiplash! It feels like the media suddenly decided the theory saying the deadly coronavirus leaked from a lab in Wuhan is now considered plausible, when, in 2020, they aggressively dismissed it as a "fringe theory." It's not a mystery why this happened. The Democrats thought the coronavirus was going to be that silver bullet that would remove former President Trump from office. Their arrogant belief that Trump was an ignoramus led them to shame anyone or any theory that Trump endorsed the year's biggest story. They were willing to embrace the supposed authority of communist China, the China-enabling...
