Biden Gets COVID, Exposing Huge Double Standard

July 23, 2022 by PA Pundits - International

By Tim Graham ~ President Biden has tested positive for COVID. We should all hope the president has an easy time. We should not ask for media nastiness and/or glee.

September 1, 2021 by PA Pundits - International

By Clay Waters ~ With his New York Times column on Monday, “Ron DeSantis, How Many Must Die?,” angry liberal columnist Charles Blow has earned the honor of being outclassed by the eternally classless Paul Krugman, who gets marginally less personal when attacking Florida Gov.
