First, it was Confederate monuments. Then, vandals defaced and toppled monuments commemorating America’s heroes, such as George Washington. Then came Mahatma Gandhi, Union General Ulysses S. Grant, and freed slave Frederick Douglass. This week, vandals targeted a monument to five firefighters who lost their lives trying to save lives in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Defund the Universities
Defunding universities substantially would reduce their freedom to carry out their anti-American, anti-Canadian, and anti-justice practices. They would be in a weaker position to spend millions of dollars on ever-proliferating “diversity and inclusion” officers, departments, and programs.
Biden’s VP Pick Will Be a Trainwreck (and Become President If He Wins)
We are all aware that if Joe Biden becomes the greatest beneficiary of a plague ever and wins the presidential election, he probably won’t actually be president much past his inauguration…It’s likely that he will choose an African American woman as VP. That narrows down the list of potential picks. The names that have been floated thus far have been less than inspiring…
The Coronavirus Lockdowns Were a Mistake
If school and working-age Americans understood that their risk of dying from the coronavirus was roughly the same as it is of dying during a daily car ride, do you think they’d want to continue the lockdowns?
Biden VP Hopeful Rep. Bass in Hot Water for Castro Praise
Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) is a non-descript, non-entity in the House, not known for pushing any important legislation. But Biden has recently put her in the limelight by apparently considering her for the second spot on the Democratic ticket. Her qualifications include the fact that she’s a woman and she’s black. That should be enough to put her close to the top of Biden’s VP list.
It’s Nightmare Time if Biden Wins
Most of us do believe that the current polling is, put mildly, completely full of crap. Still, we have to prepare for the outside chance that the polls may be right…There are enough stupid people to elect Crazy Joe president. The one saving grace is that most aren’t motivated to get off of their lazy Democrat butts and vote for him, even if it’s done via the vote-by-mail fraud scam.
Beware the Woke Mob: It’s Targeting You Next Small Town America
Woke mobs are coming for you if you are an elected official with conservative values. In cities and towns all across America, organized and well-funded protest groups have begun attacking city councilors, mayors, county commissioners, and members of school boards.
7 Statues the Left Should Want to Tear Down If They Don’t Want to Be Hypocrites
Includes Che Guevara’s statue in Central Park, Margaret Sanger’s bust at the Smithsonian and the FDR Memorial in Washington, DC.
Petition Calls for Renaming Columbus, OH, an Absurd Name
An online petition at Change.org is seeking to rename Columbus, Ohio, because its namesake, Christopher Columbus, is just too much for the delicate snowflakes to handle. The petition, which has attracted roughly 35,000 signatures, proposes renaming the city Flavortown.
It Turns Out That Protest Organizers and Protestors Can Get Coronavirus Too
At least four organizers of recent protests in South Carolina have tested positive for coronavirus, prompting one of the main organizers to urge others to get tested.
Do Americans Need Warning Labels on Racist Films of the Past?
The nanny state feels compelled to hire a tutor to tell us what we already know.
Dems Are the Party of Science (As Long As It’s Convenient)
It takes a special kind of stupid to attend a mass rally during a pandemic, especially if you know you’re vulnerable to disease because of a previous medical condition. But de Blasio and Democrats across the country allowed these huge gatherings of humanity because it was politically advantageous for them to so so.
Knee-Benders Cancel “Gone with the Wind” and “Cops” to Appease Frothing Rage Mob
There is apparently more than one way for this mob that has been running roughshod over America for the past couple of weeks to loot. Once they’ve trashed all of the physical property near them, they turn to cultural and intellectual property.
There’s More to the Story of the Elderly Protestor Knocked to the Ground by Buffalo Police
The force used against Martin Gugino was measured and appropriate, and it was delivered in response to a deliberate provocation by an experienced protester. The charges against the officers are a travesty, and shame on Erie County district attorney John Flynn, who handed over a pair of scalps to the mob in the apparent hope they will choose him last when they take to hanging people from the lampposts.
Studies Show That There Is No Epidemic of Police Shootings
While we all agree that unjustified police brutality is bad, is there really an “epidemic” of racial bias in police brutality? Looking at the data, the answer might actually be no. According to a 2019 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, white officers are not more likely to shoot black civilians than black or Hispanic officers are.
Universities Inspired the Riots with Anti-Americanism
Behind the anti-American hate seen in the current rioting is the long term undermining of America carried out systematically in our universities. Various social movements through the past five decades…have been adopted and absorbed in universities in their most extreme and maximalist forms.
Peaceful Demonstrators Were Not Tear-Gassed So Trump Could Have His Photo Op
Not only was tear gas not used, but, according to the USPP, there were acts of violence by the protesters, which means they weren’t peaceful. Peaceful protests don’t result in destruction of property, vandalism, or US Park Police being injured. Unfortunately, the media jumped on the false story, allowing it to spread before the facts came out.
Churches Are Shuttered Over Covid-19, But Violent Anarchists Are Allowed to Congregate with Impunity
The lawlessness we’re witnessing across the U.S. is staggering, as is the hypocrisy of leaders who have shuttered churches over Covid-19 fears but are allowing violent mobs to ravage our cities while ignoring social distancing recommendations.
Well, There Goes Amy Klobuchar
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), one of the women on presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s vice-presidential shortlist, reportedly refused to prosecute an excessive force case against the police officer who appears to have killed black man George Floyd, the man at the center of the latest Black Lives Matter controversy… It seems likely this connection will bump her off of Joe Biden’s shortlist.
Texas Bar Owner Asks Mask-Wearers to Stay at Home “Until It’s Safe”
Stephen Kruiser: My resistance to the mask mongers isn’t just rooted in my God-given American right to hate being told what to do, although that is a big part of it. My real problem is that so many people aren’t observing proper mask etiquette that it makes the whole effort kind of useless.
The NY Times Continues to Pollute What’s Left of Journalism
Stephen Kruiser: First, the editorial brain trust at the paper decided to do a gimmicky front page on Sunday that listed the names of Americans who died from COVID-19. Of course I believe these people should be mourned. What bothered me is that there is a very, very specific group of fallen Americans who we are supposed to remember on Memorial Day Weekend and I found the timing of this to be exceedingly off-putting.
Watching Kayleigh McEnany Beat Up the Corrupt Press Is a Never-Ending Delight
McEnany so routinely chides the White House press corps that they’ll probably keep wearing masks long after the coronavirus pandemic is over just to hide their embarrassed faces.
Do We Really Need Our President to Be Our Griever-in-Chief?
Donald Trump has come under fire from the left for not showing any emotion about the coronavirus dead. The president has apparently disappointed his critics because he doesn’t wallow in sorrow or publicly emote. Liberals believe if you don’t actually, physically show your concern, you don’t care.
Filmmaker Creates Country Song That Rejects Fear, Remembers America in Pandemic
In a time of non-stop bad news, a reminder of the American spirit can encourage us out of the doldrums. That’s what inspired Chris Burgard to create the country song “American Heart.” Its subtitle: “You can’t lock down an American Heart.”
