Don’t believe a single poll out there, folks. There is a concerted effort among pollsters to demoralize Republican voters. All candidates should be campaigning like they are 20 points behind. And every Republican voter has an obligation to vote a straight party ticket. We must stop the Communist insurgency.

Fox News broadcast an interview with an Ole Miss student who made all sorts of allegations against the police department. She said that she was drugged at an Oxford bar and just tossed onto the street. But it turns out the official police report and body cam footage contradict all of her allegations. There are also rumors that a number of students have died as a result of drug overdoses and the university is engaged in a coverup. First, shame on Fox News for doing a shoddy job in reporting from Ole Miss and causing hysteria. Second, we will provide you with actual facts and details.

I have an observation for all the folks celebrating "Indigenous Peoples Day."

Now the media and the academic community would have you believe that the American Indian tribes all lived in peaceful harmony – dancing in the fields and frolicking with the bison.

It was all rainbows and unicorns until the white man showed up. At least that’s the far left’s narrative. But the reality is a bit different.

A good many of the so-called "Indigenous People" groups in America were savage killers who slaughtered women and children. And many of the American Indian tribes actually enslaved their enemies.

Take the Comanche for example. Historians say they slaughtered thousands of other "Indigenous People" and enslaved many women and children.

You don't hear much about that in public school classrooms or in the national media. They sort of gloss over all the killing and slave trading. Doesn’t fit their narrative.

And that's why when a university egghead wishes me a "Happy Indigenous Peoples Day," I politely invite them to blow it out their peace pipe.
