Admit it. Right about now you're mentally counting gifts to make sure your offspring will have the exact same number under the tree on Dec. 25. Don't even try to pretend you don't do this.

To sum up the presidential address: If you aren’t vaccinated, you’re unpatriotic and you’re going to get sick and die. Merry Christmas.

I’ve got news for Midler and the rest of her ilk: Liberals may look down on people in conservative swaths of the country. But it’s folks in those places who provide the energy that keeps America’s lights on and grow the crops that keep America fed. Show a little respect.

It’s called majority rule. It’s a fairly simply concept. Surprised so many on the left are unfamiliar with it.

Want to know who eagerly believed the actor in their never-ending efforts to gin up a race war in America? You guessed it. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, both demonstrably lacking any critical thinking skills.

“Redefining sex to include nebulous, nonsensical concepts of gender identity also constitutes sex discrimination,” declared feminist Kara Dansky. “…Every single human being is either a male person or a female person. Everything else is a lie.” Whoa, mama. That will get you scratched from Nancy Pelosi’s Christmas card list.

Tlaib makes $174,000. The average American earns $53,490. Yet this clueless elitist wants ordinary, hard-working people - including the ones who didn’t go to college, who aren’t lawyers and members of the upper crust - to pay off her school loans.
