As an economic conservative, I do not consider myself a boat rocker. That means avoiding 11th-hour deals to shut down the government and raising the debt limit as a matter of course. No good can come from these battles because all they end up doing is adding or subtracting a couple of zeroes from a

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) continued its fight to implement a nationwide mask mandate on airplanes and other forms of transportation in federal court Tuesday, according to Reuters. The DOJ asked the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse a federal judge’s April 2021 decision striking down the mask mandate, according to Reuters. Biden declared that “the

All three evening news networks continued covering the rapidly metastasizing scandal involving President Joe Biden’s irresponsible mishandling of classified documents. ABC’s World News Tonight & CBS Evening News each led with the story, while NBC Nightly News covered it after they did their obligatory panicking over drought-stricken California receiving badly needed rain.  “President Biden today

It’s become quite clear in recent years that the transgender cult is the biggest threat targeting our children. The cult isn’t limited to the United States, but it should come as no surprise that when it comes to transgenderism, there is no country more permissive. We know that school districts across the country have been

Joe Biden and his administration are transforming our country, setting new standards, and redefining essential parameters. We have seen how it is more important to have diversity in our leaders and staff than competence. We have the elderly, people of color, gays, transgender people, and even cross-dressers from the President to Directors in our Nuclear

Late last week, CNN and MSNBC both hyped Democrat complaints about changes to the Missouri state legislature’s dress code, and parroted the liberal spin that women were being unfairly targeted with stricter rules. On Friday afternoon, the CNN duo of Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell gave the story four whole minutes as they also had

Do you remember the good old days when any criticism you’d make of Barack Obama or his policies made you a racist by default? Why am I even talking about that as if it were only in the past? Frankly, you still can’t criticize Barack Obama without the left accusing you of being racist. In

As we enter 2023, there are at least three major problems that economic policymakers will have to deal with. We have high inflation, a likely recession, and a very serious problem with the debt ceiling. Actions will be taken in the next month or so that will impact how severe these problems are. Annual inflation

These people need Jesus.  An “all-ages” drag show event in Dallas had a great audience turnout, including local legislators, parents and children, according to Taylor Hansen of the Texas Family Project.  The event opened with audio that condemned “far-right” protesters who think that drag queens shouldn’t interact with children. Yeah … those crazy right-wingers …

I’m not here to review Velma, the new Scooby-Doo spinoff for adults currently streaming on HBO Max. But I am here to tell you that it’s so bad that lefties who ought to love the show’s woke themes are now claiming the entire thing is an enemy psyop to make them look bad. When I

The Wisconsin State Legislature’s new session will vote on a state constitutional amendment that would allow judges to weigh alleged violent offenders’ past violent convictions in setting their cash bail amounts and change the standard for allowing alleged offenders to be released before trial. Many Democrats have opposed the measure, with state Sen. Chris Larson

Telemundo appears to signal its intent to continue fighting the Great Latinx War by smearing Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ ban of the non-word in official documents, if Friday night’s laughably one-sided report is any indication. Look closely at how anchor and climate activist Vanessa Hauc frames the ban: as an “obstacle affecting the Hispanic

The White House has had a very bad week — so bad, in fact, that they’ve been struggling to keep up with the ongoing classified documents scandal. For example, one Democrat strategist wants Jean-Pierre off the Garage-Gate beat entirely, so it won’t be a distraction at daily briefings. “The White House should consider appointing a separate

A number of years ago, I met Kathryn and Galen. They’d won a contest sponsored by Woman’s Day magazine. The prize? A money makeover and financial coaching with … me! From our first meeting, we became fast friends. Not only were they drowning in debt but Galen was also dealing with a protracted season of

Finally, finally after two recent stories about California Congresswoman Katie Porter first pondering and then announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate, Politico has at last gotten around to revealing the already well known embarrassing employee scandal in her office. A scandal almost as embarrassing as pretending it doesn’t exist as Politico absurdly tried to

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s defection from the Democratic Party back in December was widely seen as problematic for Senate Democrats and their slim majority. But in reality, it was an attempt at self-preservation for Sinema, whose political viability amongst Arizona Democrats has cratered thanks to her marginal independent streak that has helped block key elements of

The U.S. and allies in the Pacific region are stepping up defense cooperation and allowing the U.S. to increase military presence, setting the stage for a potential conflict involving China or North Korea, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Japan understands it is close to both North Korean and Chinese flashpoints and needs to

New York Times media reporter Michael Grynbaum pouted about Florida’s governor and potential Republican presidential candidate thumbing his nose at the “national nonpartisan” (!) media, in “Can Ron DeSantis Avoid Meeting the Press?” on Wednesday. None of these people have the faintest idea that skipping a beating from the national press endears you to GOP

Next month, residents of Chicago will go to the polls to vote for mayor. With eight major candidates in the race, it’s a near certainty that no one will get 50% of the vote. That means there will be a runoff on April 4 to determine who will win the booby prize of running the

On December 20th a handful of Republican senators shuffled before an audience of reporters prepared to issue fiery polemics on the year-end omnibus bill which sat, heavy and ponderous in all its eight-ream absurdity on a wheeled cart before the five-senator assemblage. “DANGER: $1.7 trillion of hazardous debt” read one of the mock-hazard signs decking the cart.

Author and host of the ABC true crime podcast Truth and Lies: The Informant, Dick Lehr joined Good Morning America on Saturday to discuss the case behind the podcast, a foiled bombing of Somali immigrants in Garden City, Kansas, in 2016. Not content to tell a compelling and true story of undercover law enforcement thwarting

A medical official from China’s National Health Commission (NHC) told a press conference in Beijing on Saturday that close to 60,000 people had died of COVID-19 and illnesses where COVID was an underlying factor from Dec. 7, when “zero-COVID” restrictions were lifted, to Jan. 12. While that number represents a 12-fold increase in the “official”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson praised House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for promising to release 14,000 hours of video footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol building. “I think the public should see what happened on that day,” McCarthy told reporters during a press conference Thursday. “I watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized

A pattern is emerging in the liberal media regarding Biden’s classified documents problem. In one corner, liberal talking heads bend over backwards to distinguish Biden’s case from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago documents: apples and oranges! Completely different! False equivalency! But on the other hand, there is acknowledgment that — as unfair as they claim it would be —

This week may have been the worst week politically for Joe Biden since his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, which sent his approval ratings underwater — where they have remained ever since. It is too early to say how (or even if) this will impact Biden’s poll numbers, but that might be clearer in

 Blue states have recently introduced restrictive gun laws that aim to remove firearms from the streets, but numerous states are now seeing massive increases in gun sales as Americans begin to “vote with their wallets,” according to data from the Firearm Industry Trade Association (NSSF). Gun sales in Oregon, Washington and Illinois jumped either before

HONOLULU – If one discounts Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, Hawaii is about as far – geographically and politically – from Washington, D.C., as one can get. There are just six Republicans out of 51 in the State House of Representatives and two out of 25 in the Senate. One of them is Rep. Gene Ward, who

It’s nothing short of a scandal: despite all the pretensions and posturing of woke actors and producers, Hollywood is denying some of the best roles in cinema to non-white actors. And now a Pakistani-American movie star, Kumail Nanjiani, is blowing the whistle. Will his revelation herald an outbreak of sanity in Tinseltown? Or will he

Are you wondering why checking out at the grocery store these days feels like making a mortgage payment? This week’s four-decade-high inflation is a direct result of the Federal Reserve taking its eye off the ball over the last two years. Instead of focusing on its mandate of keeping prices stable, it has been more concerned with

Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff’s office nagged Twitter to censor content it disliked and even suggested law enforcement should be able to track the flagged tweeters, in the latest Twitter Files. In Thursday’s Twitter Files part 14, Matt Taibbi uncovered that Democrats demanded Twitter support the Russian collusion hoax without evidence. Tabbi followed up his report
