A Half-Million Plus COVID19-at-Home Tests May Be Contaminated

May 7, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Those unreliable COVID-19 home test kits have been available for a while, and I know people who swear by them, but most folks swear at them or have sworn never to use one. That last bit might not be a bad idea. The FDA just issued a recall on over a half million of the things.

Amazon is Closing Retail Stores in Dem-Run Cities ‘cuz Crime!

March 10, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Amazon can be #woke, so it was amusing when it got crap for launching a unique retail experience. Cashless stores were racist or something. But the online giant persisted until recently. Amazon has announced it is closing some of these stores.

There’s No “Baby Formula” Shortage in Canada – Why Does Facebook NOT Want You to Know That?

May 17, 2022 Steve MacDonald

I think some Republicans would like baby formula to be the ‘George Floyd’ of the empty shelf crisis. “I can’t eat. I can’t eat.” A systemic supply-chain failure that also hits women and minorities hardest. Something that stirs up the outrage. Shelves are empty but is there a “shortage?”

Mike Lindell Announces eCommerce Competitor to Amazon – MyStore.com

April 14, 2021 Steve MacDonald

When Davey Hogg announced that he would challenge Mike Lindell to a pillow fight, we said good for you, more or less. Competition benefits consumers. His tagline could be Make Pillows Cheap Again.

To Democrats Hoping for ‘Parler’ Show Trial – Parler Did it Right, Your FBI Screwed the Pooch.

March 27, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The Left was giddy over the demise of Parler. When the media sold the Democrat narratives about Parler being complicit in the alleged insurrection, a few probably had happy-fits.

Let Me See if I Understand This…

February 15, 2021February 15, 2021 Rick Notkin

Culture War Victory for Conservatives and Free Speech From …Target?

November 15, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Target Stores are notorious for how quickly they bow to pressure from the left. It’s got some history. So, this is an interesting change. Lefty scolds lost their minds when Target.com offered the book, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.”

New Hampshire Democrat Chris Pappas Lied to Your Face

October 25, 2020 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Congressman Chris ‘Norovirus‘ Pappas (D – NH) lied. Not in passing or in an off-handed way. He wasn’t on a hot-mic. He decided to “Resist” the Truth. He lied during a debate. Flat out lied. About what?
