  • Why in the absolute (_ _ _ _) isn't she masked up?

    Randy Olson|Nov 10, 2022

    Check out the New York state governor basking up her re-election while dancing unmasked around a large group of masked school children...this is a sick show to take in. That is one sick woman (Hochul)!! Why doesn't she have the decency to mask up when all the kids around her are wearing face coverings? For over two years, we've seen a special type of obsession where Democrat politicians spend time around large groups of masked-up children. It's one of the sickest, most disturbing things I've...

  • I will never forget...and I may never forgive (VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Nov 3, 2022

    There's so much to unpack from this video, where do I begin? Lately there's a trend in the college academia world plus major media - and, how can I forget - the nation's largest teachers union, to call for "amnesty" from what those powerful players in American society did across 2020, 2021 and 2022 to inflict harm and suffering on citizens throughout the pandemic. They are quietly admitting they were wrong and now want us to forgive them. Well - as the video says - SORRY, we are not going to...

  • Record-breaking excess deaths in the United Kingdom

    Randy Olson|Nov 3, 2022

    Excess deaths in the United Kingdom are currently 1,564 per week above the statistical average. This mind-blowing statistic compares to a figure of 1,322 excess deaths per week in the U.K. in 2021. In 2020, before the completely "safe and effective" COVID-19 treatments were unleashed by global pharmaceutical conglomerates, the excess deaths per week figure was 315 during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic. Let all that sink in for a moment. The figures are both stunning and appalling. The video...

  • Woman who wished death on un-jabbed dies suddenly at age 49

    Randy Olson|Nov 3, 2022

    Julie Powell, a food writer from England, was a terrible human being who once celebrated when un-jabbed people died either from or with COVID-19. On her Twitter account on October 1, 2021, she stated that COVID-19 was "killing the right people" from her perspective. Powell "died suddenly at age 49 on October 26 at her family's home. Her husband stated that her cause of death was a heart attack. This is a tragic end for a woman who had so much love in her heart for mankind. (I'm joking on this last part of this last sentence. According to her...

  • Meanwhile, in New Zealand...(VIDEO)

    Randy Olson|Nov 3, 2022

    The hard shift to authoritarianism over the past three years by countries like New Zealand and Australia is stunning and shocking. This video here explains what is happening in New Zealand, where the government is openly encouraging its citizens to "turn in their friends or neighbors" if they don't tow the line on the official government narrative of the day. Will we let this happen in the United States? Does the public understand the danger of allowing government to decide what is "truth" and...

  • Journalists roasted (metaphorically) in Arizona

    Randy Olson|Nov 3, 2022

    Randy Olson|Nov 3, 2022

    Meanwhile, at the United States Food and Drug Administration, the commissioner of the FDA recently committed a massive breach of ethics when he began specifically promoting a drug with his government-backed mouthpiece. Remember: it is just a coincidence and should not lead to skepticism of our government and Big Pharma when President Biden, CDC diretor Walensky and Dr. Fauci all suffered from Paxlovoid-induced COVID rebound, not to mention all the other celebrities and government figures who...

  • POTUS to America: airplane seats are racist (OPINION)

    Randy Olson|Oct 27, 2022

    POTUS recently stated that extra fees incorporated into the pricing structure of airplane tickets are racist and harm low-income families. If you don't see what he said, you wouldn't believe it. POTUS truly is that out of touch with reality that he thinks airline fees are a problem that bears down on the minds of low-income families. The last I checked, low-income families are struggling to pay for groceries and heating their homes or apartments thanks to his junk energy policies. All this from...

  • Never mind how difficult this winter will be in the U.S. (OPINION)

    Randy Olson|Oct 27, 2022

  • THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS

    Randy Olson|Oct 27, 2022

    This is absolutely horrendous. Shocking and stunning and sickening. Watch the seven-minute long video to know what the fuss is all about. For those who are concerned about the girl injured by the biological boy player who smashed the volleyball in her face, she is still suffering from ongoing concussion injuries and has not been cleared to play. No word on whether or not she faces permanent injuries by what happened to her. At the end of the video clip, the speaker says it best, "Immorality and...
