Gavin Newsom’s ‘State of Hate’ Commission Tilts Toward Democrats
Editor’s note: Brian Levin’s history formed an essential part of this story, so his response to The Daily Signal justified a significant update. The original version of this article suggested that Levin’s history at the Southern Poverty Law Center and his uncritical citing of the SPLC’s “hate group” accusations should terrify conservatives. His comments to…Tyler O’Neil -

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt last week exposed the symbiosis of the deep state and the Silicon Valley elites.

Unlike Biden’s, Heritage Foundation’s Budget Blueprint Charts Responsible Course for America
President Joe Biden’s irresponsible budget policies are hurting America’s families. Inflation hit 8.5% in July, a rate not seen since 1981.

The Media Avoids Every Biden Fiasco
If you never looked at a poll and watched only the network news to stay informed, you might think Joe Biden is a very successful and popular president. That’s not an accident.

Speaking with a…Ben Shapiro -

Biden’s Move to Fortify DACA Program an Unlawful Quasi-Amnesty
As if the American people needed further evidence of the misplaced priorities of the Biden administration, there’s more.

Congress voted on a massive infrastructure spending bill last fall.

Dumb Question: Is the Pro-Biden Spin Getting Out?
Anyone who reads or watches the badly named “mainstream media” knows it carries all the echoes of a Democratic Party messaging service.
