Anyone watching leftist cable news channels knows that it’s considered fair commentary to categorize Republicans, individually or collectively, as “white nationalists” or “white supremacists.” Anyone standing in the way of the Black Lives Matter/critical race theory crusade is dealt the racist card. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis scored a political win in pressuring the College Board…

Poor Rep. Ilhan Omar has been denied a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotized’ was a trope,” the congresswoman told CNN’s Dana Bash this week. “I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the food stamp program became (and has remained) bloated, in part because of a potentially illegal double-digit benefits increase by the Biden administration. Additionally, obvious eligibility loopholes remain unaddressed even as millionaires have enrolled. The new Republican-controlled House of Representatives has the opportunity to initiate three specific reforms that would save…

Though scheduled to wear LGBTQ “Pride” jerseys during pregame warmups, not one member of the team did so.
