What has happened to Fox News?
My biggest complaint about Monday's Republican National Convention coverage was the way Fox News covered it. It got so bad I had to switch to another channel that shall remain nameless to actually watch convention coverage.
Fox News interrupted way too many of the speeches for unnecessary commentary from panelists. I wanted to hear the speeches, not commentary from the usual suspects!
The network has three more chances to get it right. Let's have more coverage of what is turning out to be a superb convention and less bloviating, please.

The real casualties of COVID lockdowns
The China virus has killed an estimated 1 million people but the idiotic lockdowns ordered by politicians of healthy people may have driven as many as 100 million people into extreme poverty, according to the World Bank. Politicians want to keep you in fear so they can control you. The result will be far more casualties under poverty.

When American universities taught common sense
When American universities taught common sense: The core idea of common sense realism is that there are self-evident truths and that self-evident truths are known to be true by means of common sense; common sense enables us to know what is self-evidently true. Read the Founders, and you will find them constantly referring to self-evident truths. They got their understanding of self-evidence from Reid. Because the Founders' thinking relied on Reid's conception of self-evident truth, what Harvard and Princeton and the others were aiming at in those days was teaching American college students how to think like an American.

It’s Time to Roll Back the Mask Mandates, Not Ramp Them Up Ridiculously
It’s Time to Roll Back the Mask Mandates, Not Ramp Them Up Ridiculously: Joe Biden recently made an effort to turn the mask hysteria up to 11, saying, “Every single American should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at a minimum. Every governor should mandate mask wearing.”
Why should America broadly expand masking now? The proverbial “curve” could hardly be flatter in most places in America, and those states that experienced a summer surge, like Texas, Florida, and California, all appear to already be on the other side of their respective “curves.”
COVID and Climate Policy Following the Same Playbook
COVID and Climate Policy Following the Same Playbook: As we approach six months of lockdowns, mandates, and restrictions previously unfathomable in a free society, it is important to ask if what we are being told to do is either necessary or effective in combating this viral pandemic.
Or are these empty gestures, efforts of totalitarian wannabees serving as mayors or governors, trying to control those they are charged with leading and protecting, trying to advance a political agenda rather than preserving and protecting the Constitution?

The Real Kamala Harris
The Real Kamala Harris: So Joe Biden has picked the runt of the litter, an also-ran loser in the Democratic primaries who never won a primary, barely escaped sitting at the kiddies table, whom the voters didn’t think was qualified to be president, yet whom Biden wanted to be a heartbeat away. Or maybe his puppet masters, the voices in his earpiece, and the voices in his head picked her from a list loaded with more baggage than an airport carousel.
Kamala Has Already Struck Out
Kamala Has Already Struck Out: Even before the Democrat presidential candidate, Joe Biden, named his choice for vice president, a group of Democrat Party activists released an unprecedented document outlining their "rules" for how the media could address issues surrounding the woman Biden ultimately chose. These guidelines made it abundantly clear that the media were "required" to handle Biden's choice with kid gloves. Questions were not to be probing; instead, this veep candidate, unlike the vicious coverage Sarah Palin endured years ago, was to be above questioning. With astounding hubris, the Democrats actually warned the media that they would "monitor coverage" of the female veep candidate and that anything even slightly critical would be condemned as "racist and sexist." Hollywood celebrities and the usual line-up of leftist women's groups (NARAL, Planned Parenthood, etc.) have promised Kamala, "We've got your back."
Bottom line: Biden is in hiding; Kamala is untouchable.

Working for the American people
While the do-nothing Congressional Democrats went home for the weekend and Joe Biden is in the basement working on his plan to raise your taxes, keep your kids out of school and unleash government agencies to harass you, President Trump announced he will sign executive orders to eliminate payroll taxes, extend unemployment benefits, defer student loan payments at least through the end of the year, and require insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions.
That's what I call working for the American people. Can you name one thing Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer have done to improve your life? They've all become very rich in "public service" but other than lining their own pockets, what have they accomplished in decades in Washington?
Meanwhile, Donald Trump works for free and has taken more abuse from the Democrats and their MSM allies than any president in US history.

Guest column: Pennsylvania's Lone Wolf
By Lowman S. Henry,
Columnist
Columnist
Governor Tom Wolf has followed a go it alone approach in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic since it burst upon the scene back in early March. He has been unyielding in insisting, with the possible exception of state Health Secretary Dr. Rachael Levin, that he and he alone knows what is best for all Pennsylvanians.
He has attacked and criticized those who do not submit to his every decree, even when he himself violated his own orders. The degree to which he is willing to profess his omnipotence came in late July when he got into a spat with the General Assembly over the new Right to Know law.
Having come into office pledging to run the most transparent administration in history, the governor has instead emerged as a lone voice against ensuring transparency during an epidemic. Among the first state offices closed in March was the Office of Open Records, thus denying the news media, lawmakers and taxpayers the ability to access the very information on which decisions were being made that have affected the daily lives of every Pennsylvanian.
The governor's go-to attack on anybody defying his will has been to accuse them of partisan politics while urging the voters of Lebanon County to vote out elected officials who defied his shut-down orders. That tactic, however, could not be used in justifying is opposition to the Right to Know law.
That is because something almost unheard of happened under the Capitol dome in Harrisburg: the law passed both chambers of the General Assembly unanimously. Every single Republican, every single Democrat, and the one independent in the Senate were united in support of the Right to Know law.
Wolf disagreed and threatened to veto the legislation. But, with a veto override a certainty he allowed the bill to become law without his signature. In the process, however, he penned a political screed saying he was doing so despite his supposedly better judgment.
The unnecessary kerfuffle over the Right to Know law was the apex of Governor Wolf's go it alone approach. Throughout the pandemic he has exercised dictatorial powers confining people to their homes, closing businesses, implementing restrictions all with little to no consultation with stakeholders and generally with little advance notice.
This pattern of unilateral decision-making was set early in the pandemic when Wolf abruptly closed the state's public schools. Administrators in the state's 500 school districts were caught off guard and given just hours to close and no time to put alternate plans into place to educate students.
Then, again acting without consulting affected state-holders his know-it-all administration ordered so-called non-life sustaining businesses to close. The order resulted in mass confusion as critical supply chains, some which produced the very medical supplies needed to combat the pandemic, were disrupted. To this day, defying even a subpoena issued by the state Senate, information on the business closure process and resultant contradictory and inconsistent wavier procedures have yet to be fully revealed.
Wolf even managed an amazing feat: triggering lay-offs in the health care sector during a public health crisis. His blanket ban on elective surgeries, which remained in place until a revolt by providers, decimated hospital budgets and sent workers to the unemployment line. He even ordered a halt to construction of medical facilities -- preventing the development of capacity that would have been critical had the worst-case predictions of the pandemic been realized.
Wolf has vetoed bi-partisan legislative efforts to re-open segments of the state's economy and has turned a deaf ear to county and local leaders who have argued his statistics and metrics, which frequently changed, did not accurately reflect actual circumstances.
This brings us to the current situation. After saying he would allow county officials to deal with localized spikes in COVID-19 cases as the economy reopened, he has instead placed statewide restrictions on the bar and restaurant industry. Dr. Levine claims there is data indicating they have been the source of the spread, but she has adamantly refused to release the data that lead to that conclusion to the news media.
And so Tom Wolf continues to rule Pennsylvania by executive fiat, unrestrained by a compliant state Supreme Court that allowed his emergency powers to remain in effect. At least until next May when voters will have the opportunity to amend the state constitution giving the legislature the clear authority to end those powers Pennsylvania will be governed by a Lone Wolf.

It was never about the 'science' for the far left
It was never about science or public health for the Democrats and their MSM allies. It's always been about making life as miserable as possible for American families so they would blame President Trump and elect Joe Biden. Democrats have put millions out of work, prevented millions from attending worship services, and unleashed criminals to destroy cities. Now they want schools closed through Election Day so parents can't go back to work.
For the crowd the always says we need to listen to the experts and follow the science in dealing with COVID-19, here's what Dr. Robert Redfield said last week about how important it is to reopen schools: "I don't think I can emphasize it enough, as the director of the Centers for Disease Control, the leading public health agency in the world, it is in the public health interest that these K-12 students get the schools back open for face-to-face learning."
