Kerby Anderson When you say the word “invasion,” you will likely think of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army. But Graham Cunningham talks about another invasion. That would be the “Invasion of the Virtue Signalers.” The group he talks about goes by various names. They might be called “social justice warriors” or “virtue-signaling liberals” or merely called “the woke.” Whatever name you give to these groups, they have been successful in influencing nearly every institution in America and…

Kerby Anderson Two years ago, I did a commentary on how progressive activists were using the “cancel culture” to destroy the lives of individuals and drive small businesses into bankruptcy. One of the examples I cited was the plight of Gibson’s bakery. Although it has taken years, the bakery has finally won. The Ninth District Court of Appeals ruled unanimously in favor of the bakery that accused Oberlin College of damaging its business and libeling it with false accusations of…

Kerby Anderson Today your income taxes are due. Of course, those are just some of the taxes you pay each year. This increasing list of taxes we pay are why Kevin Williamson argues that “We Have Enough Taxes.” He wrote his column because President Biden has been proposing a “billionaires’ tax” that would essentially tax imaginary income. You pay capital gains taxes on income you receive. You don’t pay taxes on assets that increase in value that you have not…

Penna Dexter The last day of March this year was deemed the International Transgender Day of Visibility. We didn’t need such a designation to help us notice the trans issue. The news is saturated with it. That day, the White House made an announcement that should have surprised no one. Regarding children who may “want to be transgender,” Joe Biden made a promise. He said, “I will flat out just change the law…..[E]liminate executive orders…” Conservatives warned this signaled taxpayer-funded…

Kerby Anderson Today is usually Tax Day, but the IRS says we don’t need to have our tax forms in until Monday. A more important date is Tax Freedom Day. That is the date when your tax burden is lifted. It is calculated by dividing the official government tally of all taxes collected in each year by the amount of all income earned in each year. Put another way, it is when you are no longer working for the government…

Kerby Anderson Yesterday, I talked about an academic study by Dr. John Lott. He concluded that Joe Biden received hundreds of thousands of “excess” votes in Democratic-controlled areas in the 2020 election. But that may not sound that significant because we have been told by this president and the media that he had an electoral mandate. It is true that Joe Biden won the popular vote by a significant number. But if you focus on the electoral votes, you will…

Kerby Anderson An academic study conducted by Dr. John Lott concluded that Joe Biden received hundreds of thousands of “excess” votes in Democratic-controlled areas in the 2020 election. In his research, he compared areas where Democrats are dominant to places where Republicans were dominant in the past two presidential elections. Looking at six swing states, he crunched the numbers and discovered that voter turnout in Republican areas increased from 2016 to 2020. Voter turnout among Democrats dropped, except in places…

Kerby Anderson A significant archaeological find in Israel should change the minds of skeptics about when much of the Old Testament was written. Archaeologists have found a fragment that includes the earliest reference to God (YHWH) ever discovered. The discovery is important because critics of the Bible assume that the first books in the Old Testament were written hundreds of years after the Exodus. The assumption is that Moses and the Israelites did not have the ability to write these…

Kerby Anderson The financial system in this country, and in the world, is based on trust. When you write a check, the shopkeeper must trust that you have money in the bank. When a major corporation sends ten million dollars to another company in another country, it assumes that the money being sent exists. Of course, there are checks in the system to make sure that the funds are transferred correctly. But some of the trust we have had is…

Penna Dexter The worst inflation our country has seen in 40 years is upon us. We all feel it. But inflation hits some communities harder than others. A recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis states that, although we report a national inflation rate — currently 7.9 percent — different communities are impacted differently. “Covid-related” stimulus was sold, in part, to help lower-income households. Yet the ensuing inflation has hit them the hardest. Star Parker is president of…

Kerby Anderson President Biden recently suggested that the war in Ukraine will usher in a “new world order.” We have heard that before from other presidents, both Democratic and Republican. As I mentioned in a previous commentary, globalists are convinced that we need a “great reset.” Victor Davis Hanson believes a real reset is coming. It should arrive around November of this year, when American voters say no to all that has been taking place over the last few years….
