Taxpayer dollars are being spent to conduct widespread, woke diversity training sessions across numerous prominent federal agencies. That’s what a Wall Street Journal report on a Freedom of Information Act request revealed Dec. 30. The information gathered comes from 2021. At this point, it’s difficult to be surprised by the findings, but it’s still notable….

After Republicans clinched their narrower-than-expected new House majority in November’s midterm elections, the only relevant questions for Congress-watchers seemed to pertain to what Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s, R-Calif., impending House speakership would look like. To what extent, if any, would he return House rules to “regular order,” whereby bills are drafted and marked up in decentralized…

In the eyes of the modern Left, suffering is a virtue. For them, the greatest thing a human being can achieve is to be a victim. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that opportunistic leftists, hoping to achieve clout in their social circles doling out cachet to the downtrodden, have begun to embellish or…

The speaker of the House has yet to be chosen after three days and 11 rounds of voting. So, how long can this go on? “That’s a great question, and I think one that many in Washington, D.C., are contemplating—us, people on the Hill, staff members of members themselves. But the short answer is it…

Here’s a good news story to start off 2023: In Louisiana, it’s now harder for minors to access porn sites.   Thanks to a law passed in 2022 that went into effect Jan. 1, porn sites now are required to ask visitors who live in Louisiana to prove their age via a system, called LA Wallet, that…

For about 20 minutes on Thursday, President Joe Biden suddenly pretended to care about the crisis at our southern border that his administration caused.  The Biden administration rolled out a new plan to expand the parole process for Venezuelans to Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Cubans; fast-track (many illegitimate) asylum cases at the border even more; and…

How the mighty have fallen. The latest Census Bureau data show the Empire State’s population drain continues, as people flee New York in droves. From July 2021 to July 2022, 300,000 more people moved out of the state than moved in. New York had the largest population loss—in both percentage and absolute terms—experienced by any…

Yet another brand has fallen to the woke agenda. RuPaul’s DragCon UK announced that the beloved American brand Crocs, famous for its comfortable casual shoes, is cosponsoring and promoting a drag show with children at an upcoming event in London.  An Instagram post by RuPaul’s DragCon encouraging “all kids under 18” to report to the…

Democracy is messy. Who knew? The race to become speaker of the House, as of this writing, is in the sixth round of voting, making it one of the most contentious speaker’s races in decades. Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, and many assumed that Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., would win…

With all due respect to the late, great Frank Sinatra, it cannot be said of 2022 that “it was a very good year.” To the contrary, to borrow from the title of a children’s book, 2022 was in many ways “a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad” year. But 2023 holds out promise to be…

Last week, Pope Benedict XVI died at the age of 95, nearly a decade after stepping down as head of the Catholic Church. His life was marked by adherence to a belief in an eternal truth above all. As he stated in a 2008 meeting with Catholic educators at the Catholic University of America, “Truth…

Chalk this up as “60 Minutes” hosting the worst peddler of false knowledge since Dan Rather left the set. CBS kicked off 2023 by touting “mass extinction” blather by Paul Ehrlich, the guy who’s been peddling radical and misanthropic eco-garbage since his book “The Population Bomb” in 1968. That screed began: “The battle to feed…
