He's on-the-air. One of America's very best Talk Radio Show Hosts, IMO: Chris Plante from WMAL in DC. His show is the "prep work" for many other shows. And, unlike the others, he pulls no punches, tells it like it is and doesn't take any guff from liberal, leftist or commie/socialist/fascist callers. He's the guy we'd all like to sit down with and have a cheeseburger and a cold one, while talking about the state of America, and the crazies who are pulling the strings, behind-the-scenes.

Here's my prediction once again: Bernie has withdrawn as ordered by whoever paid him off. Biden will have some sort of "issue" that will prevent or deter the delegates from nominating him. They will feel compelled (by whom?) to call upon (or even beg) either Hildabeast or Mooch (or pick a dem favorite female)to come out of hiding to "save the day" for them. Or! Biden will choose his VP as directed by whomever and will be unable to fulfill his duties as President IF he were to win.

Let's start keeping a running thread where we cite examples of elites who demonstrate extreme hypocrisy in the areas of national lockdown and social distancing. I'll start us off with these. - PA Governor Tom Wolf who has arbitrarily closed thousands of small businesses as "non-essential" with the stroke of a pen, but has granted an exemption to his own small business (a cabinet shop). Because that kitchen remodel that you've been procrastinating on since 2007 simply can't wait! For extra credit Tommy the Commie has closed the state office which administers the Freedom of Information Act so that none...

There is a movement for Andrew Cuomo to replace Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee. Governor JB Pritzker desperately wants the Cuomo status. Cuomo has received praise because he has been mostly measured and extremely transparent. Conversely, Governor Pritzker's. . . press conferences have been low information, highlighted by political outbursts deflecting all blame to the federal government. In the midst of crisis, few if any have stopped to question the validity of the things they are being told. Our media and political culture have strongly discouraged dissent. I was asking for legitimate data from Pritzker’s administration to ensure good...

On March 25, 2020, American Thinker published a pilot article titled: “Political structure of coronavirus victims: Which party is in power by state,” in which, for the first time, a very unusual phenomenon was observed. In particular, this article analyzed how the Chinese coronavirus cases in the United States are split among Democrat-governed and Republican-governed states. The easily trackable party affiliation of a state’s governor was used as a criterion. To everybody’s surprise, for each coronavirus case in Republican-governed states, there are approximately four (!) coronavirus cases in Democrat-governed states. For example, the ratio for March 24, 2020, was 83%...

Democrats seeking electoral advantage from this crisis are in an untenable position. Even in suboptimal circumstances, it is hard to see where any case can be made for mismanagement by the administration.

“I’m trying to restrain my anger and speak measuredly, but it’s damn hard to do so. (Nancy Pelosi’s latest trial balloon -- an investigation into the President’s handling of the Wuhan virus, was so preposterous it drove me into something I never do -- binge watching old TV serials, in this case “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”) The Wuhan virus spread throughout the world due to the Chinese government’s lies, and the acts of the head of the WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysesus who came to that position from the violent Ethiopian Communist party and covered up for China...

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7 KJV It is looking more and more like I am wright and the entire intelligentsia is dead wrong about the Y2K-0rona bug. It is more like a bug and less like a plague than the media has been fooling us with. Now if they would allow us the malaria preventative drug chloroquine phosphate while you load up with zinc, we could get back to work and begin enjoying cheap gas and interest rates to pull the entire world out...

Things are getting real. We are at over 47,000 deaths worldwide and over 5,000 deaths in the U.S. alone. Our top experts are modeling between 100,000 and 240,000 American deaths by the end of this crisis. Those are massive numbers. We lost nearly 3,000 on 9/11; we suffered 7,000 (so far) U.S. military deaths in the "war on terror" and 58,000 after 20 years in Vietnam. Early hopes that COVID-19 could be overblown have more than dwindled. If anything, we are learning more every day about how China has understated the deaths they have seen -- drastically understated, according to...

Airline passengers flying into Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) can look down and see a new, bold, controversial political sign in the days leading up to Maryland Republican primary. A giant orange “TRUMP” sign is on the roof of a house directly under the approach for BWI. Donald Trump has a double digit lead in the Republican primary in Maryland, but the blue state is making many of his supporters hide their vote. But one retired police detective decided to fight back– in a “yuge” way — after his 12-year old daughter was bullied at school for backing the billionaire...

Joe Biden watches from the far reaches of the upper balcony as he waits and waits to be declared the de facto Democratic presidential nominee and assume leadership of his party. The coronavirus has postponed state primaries, prolonged the contest, yanked him out of the news and left him in political limbo, where he wonders if Bernie Sanders will ever acknowledge defeat and shivers in the shadow of another Democrat, Andrew Cuomo, who didn’t even run for president. Biden has, for the moment, been dealt a remarkably frustrating hand. Sanders is sending the signal that his battle presses on by...

The billionaire Democrat was once virtually everywhere. Now, he’s nowhere to be found.Not too long ago, Tom Steyer, the billionaire Democrat who flooded the airwaves with an incessant push to impeach President Trump, was virtually everywhere. Now, he’s hardly visible. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread rapidly, some of the nation’s wealthiest individuals are evaluating ways to help those most in need. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spent nearly $1 billion to self-fund his short presidential campaign, committed through his philanthropy to giving $40 million to a global response fund and was part of a $75...

The COVID-19 pandemic can be used to illustrate two problems that are both more destructive than the virus. The problems relate to how Americans view the role of government in their lives and to the belief that government money can always fix problems. .... We are on the Titanic, headed for the debt iceberg. In brief moments of clear vision, we see the iceberg and know we must change course to avoid disaster. But a self-imposed fog allows us to pretend things are fine. Do not look away. Look directly at this problem. It's real. Things that are unsustainable cannot...

The illness and death wrought by the coronavirus, and the economic fallout from the federal and state governments’ responses to it, are truly frightening to behold, resulting in wrenching changes to peoples’ lives and livelihoods. Rahm Emanuel, a former senior advisor to President Clinton, chief-of-staff to President Barack Obama, and the mayor of Chicago, is infamous for his quip, “never let a good crisis to go to waste when it’s an opportunity to do things that you had never considered, or that you didn't think were possible.” Taking Emanuel’s admonishment to heart, Democrats played politics with peoples’ lives during the...

You seriously could never make this stuff up. – In a series of Tweets this afternoon, GOP Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas listed the absurd list of Democrat demands that are holding up the crucial stimulus bill. Below is the text of those Tweets: Families and businesses need help now to survive the China virus pandemic. But @SpeakerPelosi walked away from negotiations to write her own bill, full of absurd provisions completely unrelated to the crisis at hand. Here’s what Speaker Pelosi is demanding while Americans suffer: 1. Corporate pay statistics by race and race statistics for all corporate boards...

This is Morgan Zegers explaining why socialism fails. She's the founder and CEO of Young Americans Against Socialism. She gets it, so why don't a lot of the other younger voters get it?
