JOAN SWIRSKY — At the virtual Democrat National Convention last week—where at least two caucus meetings began by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance with the words "under God" omitted—the public was treated to tasteless and remarkably unfunny jokes from Hollywood's Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and a video featuring Donna Hylton, who spent 27 years in prison for the grisly murder and torture of Thomas Vigliarolo, a NY businessman found stuffed inside a steamer trunk and left to rot in Harlem....

THE EDITORS OF NATIONAL REVIEW — If you watched Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the other big, headline speeches at the Democratic convention, you might be forgiven for thinking that you had stepped into a meeting of old-time Democrats. There was less woke, radical rhetoric than in the primaries, more invocations of old-fashioned patriotic Americana, and more efforts to sound conservative themes and reach out to small-businesspeople and churchgoers. What you might have missed was the far-reaching agenda of the Biden--Harris Democrats.... (more)

WORLDNETDAILY — Utah Gov. Gary Herbert has no sympathy for parents objecting to his edict that children attending school either wear masks or face possible criminal charges. Herbert issued the mask mandate, for grades K-12, in July. The reopening of Utah's public schools has drawn new attention to the edict, which calls for a maximum punishment of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for showing up without one. The order applies equally to adults and children, and any charge would be a misdemeanor.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — The lack of coverage in 2008 of the embarrassing facts in Barack Obama's background, especially his deep personal relationship with a Communist mentor by the name of Frank Marshall Davis, stands as a sensational example of how dishonest the national media can be when they are determined to elect somebody. Jack Cashill's new book, "Unmasking Obama: The Fight to Tell the True Story of a Failed Presidency," accurately describes Davis as "a bisexual Stalinist pornographer with a taste for underage sex partners." If this is news to you, consider yourself a victim of the major media organizations that worked diligently to cover up the truth about our 44th president.... (more)
