It’s a heady time for the badly disguised Democrats in the “objective media,” seeing Fox News settle a fake-news lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over wild and unproven claims of mass voting machine fraud. But a new-book excerpt from “BuzzFeed Ben” Smith should remind everyone that the same “Truth matters” cheerleaders accepted wild and unproven…
Biden administration officials “want the cartels to maximize profits,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton contends. President Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have created “opportunities for the cartels to expand their network, not just in Mexico or Central America, but across our country,” Paxton, a Republican, says. Since Biden took office, more than…
President Joe Biden is now 80 years old. He will be 82 when he campaigns for president in the 2024 race—and a clearly debilitated 86 should he be elected and fill out his second term. Biden has been in government for over a half-century. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a current Democratic representative from California,…
Conservative legal experts have convinced a lot of folks that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump was deeply flawed and that he’s unlikely to win a conviction on the merits. Numerous potential liberal prosecutors looked at the case but turned it down on the grounds that it couldn’t be won,…
We’ve seen this rodeo before. The infamous Anita Hill affidavit and accusation of sexual harassment lodged against then Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991. Thomas denounced then-Sen. Joe Biden’s sexual harassment hearings as a “high-tech lynching.” Nominee Thomas was confirmed as a justice to the Supreme Court by a…
“She is the first woman in history to win the 100 and 200 meters in back-to-back Olympics.” That is how USA Today summarized the performance of Elaine Thompson-Herah, the Jamaican sprinter who dominated women’s track events in the COVID-delayed 2021 Olympics. Thompson-Herah won a third gold medal in Tokyo that year as the first runner…
Not a single Democrat in the House of Representatives voted to protect women’s sports. Talk about being on the wrong side of history. “The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” introduced by Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., passed the House Thursday in a 219-203 vote. The legislation would require that “school athletics comply with…
Liberal media bias comes in two often-concomitant forms: Acts of omission and acts of commission. An April 13 editorial in The Washington Post, “Freedom is under assault in Ron DeSantis’s Florida,” serves up some of both, but most egregiously the former. The bias by omission begins with the editorial failing to mention the fact that…
This week, a 16-year-old boy named Ralph Yarl—black—accidentally rang the doorbell of an 84-year-old white man, Andrew Lester. According to reports, Lester then shot Yarl twice through the door, wounding him in the head and the arm. According to Clay County prosecutor Zachary Thompson, “I can tell you there was a racial component.” This fact…
Being a business owner is not always as glamorous as it looks, but it is highly rewarding, say entrepreneurs Hope Harvard and Macy Maxson. Harvard, founder of the makeup company Hope Beauty, was eager to find a new purpose after working in the Trump administration. The South Carolina native says the idea for a makeup…
The fight to protect life is, in some ways, even more challenging today than it was a year ago, Brian Westbrook says. The Supreme Court’s June 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, was a major victory for life, according to Westbrook, founder and executive director of the…
Do you think parents should have a say in their children's education, that kids shouldn't be judged according to the color of their skin, that parents should know if their children say they identify as transgender, or that books with explicit sexual images should be removed from school libraries? If so, you represent a threat…
President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency has announced an aggressive new auto tailpipe emissions rule that would ban most new cars and trucks that don’t run on batteries. In exchange for reductions in CO2 and other tailpipe emissions, the EPA plans to take away Americans’ freedom to choose our cars. It also touts the benefits…
“Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law.” So says a March report released by the United Nations. In simpler terms, the U.N. is saying that minors can consent to sex, and that this is a human right. This tweet…
Come 2032, if President Joe Biden has his way, most Americans who want new cars may have to buy electric vehicles. While the administration insists that such a mandate will reduce climate change, the fact is, when adding up the emissions required to produce and power the batteries of electric vehicles, EVs can create more…
A Pew Research Center study shows that since the 1990s, many Americans have left Christianity to join the growing ranks of adults who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic, or “nothing in particular.” Pew predicts that if current trends of religious disaffiliation continue, Christians will make up less than half of the U.S. population…
A major United Nations meeting has collapsed because of its promotion of radical sexuality education for children. The 56th session of the Commission on Population and Development concluded April 14 with no negotiated outcome between governments, resulting in the failure of yet another multimillion-dollar U.N. session as a result of vociferous opposition to extreme ideological…
What qualities should medical schools look for in future doctors? Probably academic excellence, experience in the medical sector, loyalty to medical ethics, and good interpersonal skills. These are all characteristics that future doctors should have, but they’re not what medical schools now emphasize. Medical schools are looking for social justice zealots to advance the diversity,…
Earth Day is Saturday! Hooray? “Saving humanity from the climate crisis,” says EarthDay.org, requires us to “push away from the dirty fossil fuel economy.” Sounds logical. But my latest video explains why doing that is cruel to poor people. “Three billion people in the world still use less electricity than a typical refrigerator,” explains Alex…
The FBI on Monday morning arrested two New York City residents “in connection with opening and operating an illegal overseas police station,” according to a Justice Department press release. Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping were “charged with conspiring to act as agents of the [People’s Republic of China] government, as well as obstructing justice by destroying…
