God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Not to be outdone, three liberal judges in California said, “Let bees be fish,” and they were fish (for all relevant legal purposes, at least). What a remarkable superpower liberal judges have to redefine reality with a word or two!  How did they do it?…

Europe is in a world of hurt when it comes to energy.   News outlet Die Welt reported last Sunday that the German government was preparing to deal with backlash from angry citizens who will need to deal with a massive energy crisis come winter.   According to the outlet, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told news broadcaster…

Where will President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats get the money to finance their large expansion of subsidies for green energy and extension of Obamacare subsidies for the upper middle class? The simple answer is: “From hardworking taxpayers.” Taxpayers across the income spectrum should expect they ultimately will pay for the left’s deceptively named Inflation…

Our nation is under siege. But this siege is not the result of some domestic or foreign terrorist threat. This siege on our great republic comes from within the very institutions for which we have entrusted our nation with. The establishment, in concert with their allies within the Department of Justice, have conducted an unanticipated,…

Ten percent of the households in this country at the end of 2019—just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit—had a net wealth of more than $1.3 million, according to a report published last month by the Census Bureau. There were also definite patterns among households that had higher wealth and those that had less. In fact,…

Former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii criticized the Department of Justice, calling the Monday raid on Mar-a-Lago a “blatant abuse of power” during a Tuesday evening Fox News appearance. “This raid is just the latest serious escalation of this disturbing trend that we have seen of blatant abuse of power by those in power…

There’s a deep disconnect between regular people and Beltway elites who are far removed from everyday suffering. No matter how Democrats will positively spin the slight drop in painful consumer price inflation announced today (from 9.1% in June to 8.5% in July), Americans are enduring a national pay cut due to wage growth that is…

Masquerading as the “Inflation Reduction Act,” the bill passed Sunday by the Senate is nothing more than a Trojan horse for more of the same policies that created the stagflationary fire consuming the economy in the first place. Zealous federal commitment to central planning led to these economic conditions. Having time and time again championed…

The Senate narrowly passed the Inflation Reduction Act on Sunday, thanks to a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris. But would the bill, if also passed by the House, actually reduce the record-high inflation faced by Americans? “The bill drafters will tell you that it reduces deficits, which means it would be less pressure…

“We are the biggest country they still have left, and we will remain with Taiwan.” Those are the firm words of Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei, who recently pledged to stick to his country’s diplomatic recognition of Taiwan. Guatemala is Taiwan’s longtime, foremost ally in Central America. As if to underscore the point, in an interview…

Does watching a leftist activist dressed like an elf lecturing you about feminism for an hour sound like a good time? How about watching “Star Wars” dump on Donald Trump and the MAGA movement? If not, I’d recommend avoiding TV for a while.   As much as it seems like parody, these are apparently plot…

New Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data confirms that monkeypox overwhelmingly occurs in men who identify as gay or bisexual and who engage in risky sexual behavior—yet LGBT activists have said it is “not moral” to ask men to refrain from sex until the government can get the virus corralled. Virtually all cases reported…

With so much attention fixed on soaring prices for gasoline and groceries, one can almost overlook the fact that we’re also enduring an affordable housing crisis. The question is, why? Spanning the pandemic era from February 2020 through May 2022, home prices soared 43.5%. Over the past 12 months, home prices are up 19.7%, while residential…

As Senate Democrats achieve their goal of jamming  through the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, reality is becoming clear: The bill will likely increase near-term inflation, depress household incomes, and produce the long-term deficits that fuel long-term inflation. Using the Congressional Budget Office’s latest scoring, estimates of the most recent changes, and accounting for very expensive…

Congress “invested” in the American economy to the tune of $7 trillion over two and a half years. The result? Inflation is through the roof, the economy is stagnant at best, and more than 60% of Americans now report living paycheck to paycheck. Americans got a lousy return on that investment. Following Congress’ spectacular failure…

A new report from Heritage Foundation scholar Brenda Hafera provides unique insights and observations into how the presidential homes of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison mostly are failing to teach accurately what these men achieved to establish our country. George Washington’s Mount Vernon is easily the best of the three, remaining relatively faithful to its former…
