LINCOLN BROWN — At my house, we started the holiday weekend by going out to eat Friday evening. Our favorite spot was packed and we sat outside, waiting for a table. We were minding our own business and my wife was enforcing her “no politics for the next three days” policy. Specifically, if I mentioned Joe Biden’s speech one more time, I would be sleeping in the backyard. So we were casting about for topics that would not elicit a lecture from yours truly when a couple came walking up to the door. One of them appeared to be in the midst of a gender transition. I saw him/her and thought, “whatever.” These people are not even unique at this point, anyway.... (more)

DEBRA HEINE — During a White House press briefing Wednesday, Joe Biden’s two Monkeypox Czars said that the number of Monkeypox cases reported in the country each day is “trending downward,” but also claimed that increasingly, people are coming down with the disease through regular household contact. National White House Monkeypox Coordinator Bob Fenton and Monkeypox Deputy Coordinator Dr. Demetre Daskalakis told reporters that they want to get more shots in arms of “vulnerable” Americans....

JOHN C. EASTMAN — On August 31, while announcing his new initiative to restrict gun rights, Joe Biden reportedly stated that if “brave right-wing Americans,” as he mockingly dubbed them, wanted to exercise rights under the Second Amendment to “fight against the country” that had become tyrannical, they “would need an F-15.” “You need something more than a gun,” he added, later referring to perhaps “nuclear weapons.” Such is a common trope from the Left, but it completely misunderstands the Second Amendment....

DEBRA HEINE — Newly released communications between federal officials and social media companies reveal how the Biden administration and Big Tech coordinated to silence opposing views on a number of topics—especially COVID-19— in “a vast censorship enterprise,” the attorneys General of Missouri and Louisiana alleged in a court filing Thursday....

MIRANDA DEVINE — Timothy Thibault, the FBI agent alleged to have interfered with an investigation into Hunter Biden, was assigned by the Washington Field Office as “point man” to manage whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, the first son’s former business partner, before the 2020 election — but he suppressed his damning revelations, sources say....

NEWSWEEK — A federal judge has granted former President Donald Trump's request to appoint an independent special master to review the documents seized in last month's raid of Mar-a-Lago, in a shock victory for the former president. "The court hereby authorizes the appointment of a special master to review the seized property for personal items and documents and potentially privileged material subject to claims of attorney-client and/or executive privilege," U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon wrote in an order Monday....

STEPHEN STONE — The following are words I include nearly every day, more or less verbatim, in my personal prayers. I’ve given a lot of time and thought to their wording, especially in recent years, so they say precisely what I believe needs to be said at this critical time in the cause of imploring God to save our country—in words heavily influenced by the King James Version of the Bible....

ROBERT SPENCER — In Marxist theory, the final stage of socialism is true communism, when everyone shares of his or her resources equally, the state withers away, and true justice finally dawns upon the earth. We never have seen that stage and never will, because Marxism is rancid pseudo-religious hogwash that runs directly contrary to human nature. The real final stage of socialism is what we saw in the last ten years of the Soviet Union: an entrenched, all-encompassing, corrupt and inefficient state bureaucracy nominally presided over by a succession of senescent, barely-there incompetents. With his disgraceful descent into open authoritarianism Thursday evening, Old Joe Biden and the Democrats signaled their intention to skip right to that final stage: they’ve already got the doddering figurehead and the ravenous bureaucracy firmly in place....

THE FEDERALIST — Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake wants Democrats and the corrupt corporate media, which constantly demonize the more than 74 million people who voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, to know there’s nothing wrong with asking questions about election irregularities. In response to a question from what appeared to be a journalist at a campaign event, Lake made that abundantly clear.... (more)

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT — Did you watch President Joe Biden's disgraceful speech on Thursday night? I did. And I know the Biden plan. Although it's not Biden's plan. I think Biden is a puppet with dementia and diapers. Biden doesn't know whether Jill Biden is his wife or sister. Biden looks like a walking cadaver who reads whatever script is put in front of him. Then Jill leads him offstage, so he doesn't get lost. His handlers take him in back, pat him on the head, hand-feed him his baby food and change his diapers. Then it's time to "put a lid" on Biden's day. It's time for a nappy-nap.... (more)

AMERICAN GREATNESS — Joe Biden certainly set the punditocracy abuzz with his neo-totalitarian performance piece at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on Thursday. The significance of that speech can be broken down into three parts, two of which have already received abundant commentary.... (more)

DEBRA HEINE — Joe Biden on Friday walked back his attacks on the millions of American citizens who support former President Donald Trump, telling reporters that he doesn’t consider “any Trump supporter a threat to the country.” This comes less than a day after he called Trump supporters “MAGA forces,” and warned that they are a “threat to this country.”...

FOX NEWS — The president of the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation blasted President Joe Biden’s recent address on the "soul of a nation" as the continuation of a "pattern of division and dishonesty." "For nearly 50 years, Biden has shown that his words, when they’re even his to begin with, are nothing but empty Swamp doublespeak," Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts said in response to Biden’s speech where the president accused supporters of former President Donald Trump of waging an "assault on American democracy."...

WORLDNETDAILY — Several major broadcast networks ran reruns instead of carrying President Joe Biden’s Thursday evening speech in which he characterized “MAGA Republicans” as a threat to democracy, according to Deadline. Biden called large swaths of Republican voters “extremists” and accused them of “fanning the flames of political violence” in his Philadelphia speech, which focused heavily on former President Donald Trump. ABC, CBS and NBC chose other shows over the speech and Fox ran “Tucker Carlson Tonight” while MSNBC and CNN ran the Biden speech, according to Deadline.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Well, as of last week, it’s official. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—at least for now—has dissolved its “disinformation board.” Some critics had referred to this controversial board as Biden's “Ministry of Truth,” a reference to George Orwell’s classic novel about a dystopian, totalitarian future, 1984. The now-defunct board was to be engaged in “countering disinformation that threatens the homeland, and providing the public with accurate information in response.”... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — Calling his opponents fascists, Joe Biden is sounding like former Soviet KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin offering a justification for initiating a war of aggression against Ukraine. In typical communist fashion, Putin said Ukraine was full of fascists. Biden’s recent “anti-fascist” rhetoric against Republicans makes him sound like the Russian he supposedly wants to defeat in Ukraine. Perhaps Biden and Putin are on the same side after all....

ART MOORE — Amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's slow-rolling of data on the risks of the COVID-19 vaccines, the British government is recommending against pregnant and breastfeeding women receiving the shots. An update of the U.K. health department's "Summary of the Public Assessment Report for COVID-19 Vaccine Pfizer/BioNTech" states that because of the rapid development of the vaccine, there is an "absence of reproductive toxicity data," the National Pulse reported....

NEW YORK POST — A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings.

MARGOT CLEVELAND — Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s admission last week that the FBI pushed the social media giant to censor Russian misinformation — and thus the Hunter Biden laptop story, as that’s how the agency and Democrats characterized it — shortly before the November 2020 election is but a breadcrumb of a bigger scandal: the widespread interference by the FBI in the 2020 presidential election with the potential that the bureau coordinated its efforts with the Biden campaign....

ART MOORE — The IRS official chosen to lead the new "centralized office" featuring the nearly 87,000 new employees funded in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was involved in the agency's targeting of conservative groups that opposed Barack Obama's reelection in 2012. Nikole Flax served as the chief of staff for then acting IRS Commissioner Stephen Miller, who was fired amid a cover-up of the scandal.... (more)
