Good morning, it’s Friday, August 4, 2017. Today is Barack Obama’s birthday.

Written by  Selwyn Duke It’s not what politicians say they’re going to do that you most have to worry about, and this isn’t just because they’re notorious for breaking promises. It’s that it’s what they don’t say they’re going to do, but do anyway once in power, that’s far worse. A good example is the Democrats’ plan to destroy the suburbs, […]

Written by Sam Jacobs  |  Ammo.com As the summer of 2020 dawned, left-wing radical groups began rioting and taking over parts of America’s cities.

Indeed, one of the most hidden and concealed parts of recent American history is the extensive left-wing violence that began in […]

American public health experts, led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, have struggled over the past couple of months to push a specific narrative on the public: Wearing a mask doesn’t so much protect you from being infected with SARS-CoV-2, but if you are infected, wearing a mask could stop you from passing the virus to someone else.
