Opinion and commentary on news, politics, culture, and policy impact.
In herdlike fashion, the media describe Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “folksy,” suggesting that he is just a regular guy with whom Middle America can identify easily. Supporters on social media liken the Democrat to a cool grandpa. Judging from his education policies, however, Walz would be like your folksy grandpa only if you are…
Federal Air Marshal Service whistleblowers have exposed the Transportation Security Administration’s weaponized Quiet Skies program. The whistleblowers have come forward to the Air Marshal National Council, an advocacy council for air marshals. The whistleblowers have reported that former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii—a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate—has been…
The Left has let the mask slip and made clear that it intends to pack or otherwise decimate the Supreme Court. President Joe Biden announced last week in a Washington Post op-ed that he would promote a “reform” of the nation’s highest court that would include term limits and new “ethics” rules for justices. The…
The last thing any CEO wants to hear right now is that their brand has been linked to some sort of hot-button political crusade. After a 16-month beating from anti-woke consumers, the order of the day for corporate America is simple: Keep your head down and avoid the cultural land mines. Unfortunately for retailers like…
Today, people are taught, when it comes to slavery, America was the worst. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., actually said, “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.” An MSNBC “expert” claims that “American slavery was worse because slaves were treated as property.” “That’s complete nonsense,” replies political science professor Wilfred Reilly in…
Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. Did Japan just break the world? The central bank clowns who make a living torturing Japan’s economy have spent three decades stepping on every banana peel in the zoo. It looks like they just hit a big one….
The book “1984” is supposed to be a warning. Today’s leftists are using it as an instruction manual. George Orwell’s classic novel is set in a dystopian world where Big Brother controls the population through information control and surveillance. See if any of this sounds familiar. “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs…
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” we watch half in amazement, half in horror as Vice President Kamala Harris puts all of her chips on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. The self-proclaimed socialist has a wild history of far-left positions that have left many in the media scratching their heads in this crucial…
Kamala Harris has made her vice-presidential pick, and it is Tim Walz. In doing so, she forewent the popular Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, reportedly her second choice, who is currently presiding over a crucial swing state with two-thirds of independents approving of him. Any number of reasons could be given to choose Walz, a former…
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s record amid the 2020 George Floyd riots in Minneapolis has received renewed scrutiny after Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, selected him as her running mate. “Minnesota was ground zero for the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. Harris egged it on, and Walz sat by and…
While Kamala Harris lets the mystery of her VP pick hang in the air, we don’t need to wonder who’s already on her ticket: the mainstream media. Just when Americans thought they couldn’t be surprised by the press’ bias, Harris’ candidacy has turned them into outright liars, whose in-kind donation is a blanket cover-up for…
Whether the drag queens on display in Paris were intentionally mocking the Last Supper or celebrating the pagan god of indulgence, one thing is certain: The spectacle was French. The same ceremony depicted Marie Antoinette holding her severed head while singing a revolutionary anthem. The revolution in France in 1789 was as much a rejection…
Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. Two new surveys say most Americans think the recession has already begun. This must come as a shock to our mendacious media sacrificing fresh mountains of newsprint to gaslight Kackles over the 50-yard line come November. Meanwhile, nearly…
Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. “Recession triggered,” reads the headline from ZeroHedge as jobs collapse, unemployment jumps, and the dreaded recessionary Sahm Rule triggers. The Fed seems to agree, with markets now predicting a half-point rate cut in September, and two of America’s…
When Charles Gasparino set out to report on Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse, he had no idea he was about to uncover a much larger story: the radical transformation of American business. Gasparino, a veteran financial journalist at Fox Business, initially focused on the bank’s poor risk management. But he soon stumbled upon something more troublesome—an…
Vice President Kamala Harris supports reparations for slavery, but Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee has yet to publish her plan to get them done. Whatever her plan, it will have to answer a bunch of thorny questions. First, who gets reparations? Harris has left open the possibility of reparations to black Americans for both slavery and…
It’s difficult to make substantive arguments against the Democrats’ Supreme Court “reform” proposal, since everyone knows it’s just a cynical ploy to delegitimize both the court and the Constitution. Ask yourself this: Would any Democrat support the president’s court-packing scheme if they believed Republicans would win both houses of Congress and the presidency? Of course…
This is a lightly edited version of remarks delivered July 25 in Washington by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts at the Social Conservative Policy Conference, dubbed So-Con-Con and organized by the Family Policy Alliance Foundation. Before I begin, I want to commend the Family Policy Alliance Foundation for putting on another tremendous conference this week….
On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” grab the parachute cord as stock markets around the globe enter freefall in the administration’s very own bratcession. The Nasdaq falls over 1,000 points for the first time in history. President Joe Biden is nowhere to be seen, and Vice President Kamala Harris is taking no…
The Forge Leadership Network is building foundational relationships that have been critical for conservative policy victories. In January, the Ohio House of Representatives voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto, enshrining the “Save Women’s Sports” bill into law. Behind the four-year push to enact the Save Women’s Sports Act were three young women, whose friendship…
