On Saturday, a California reparations task force approved a package that, if passed by the legislature, would cost $800 billion, or nearly three times the state’s annual budget. Although the new proposal did not state the size of the payments, an earlier version called for eligible blacks in the state to receive cash (or its …
The rollout – if one can call President Joe Biden’s pathetic, anemic reelection announcement video a rollout – showed that he plans to campaign on abortion rights and the extremism of MAGA Republicans. In his position, such a strategy makes sense. After all, these issues worked so well for Democrats in 2022 and given that …
1945’s Brent Eastwood raised an interesting point in an article titled “The End of Donald Trump Has Arrived.” He noted that, of the five former U.S. presidents who have run for the presidency after having lost their previous bids for reelection, only one, Grover Cleveland, was successful. Eastwood wrote: But that is precisely what he …
It doesn’t take long for reality to catch up with people who spend their money recklessly. If the situation is not too far gone, it may be simply a question of cutting back temporarily on unnecessary purchases. However, if the overspending has persisted for a long period of time, an individual may be forced by …
Apparently, every day is a battle for LGBTQ+ lawmakers. According to an Associated Press report, they “find themselves fighting just ‘to exist.’” The article begins on an emotional note: State Sen. Shevrin Jones can often be seen at the Florida Capitol greeting staff and colleagues with a smile or laugh, but when he’s alone it’s …
Two weeks ago, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that would ban abortions in the state after the sixth week of pregnancy, a move that will be welcomed by Republican primary voters. The more important question is: How will that play out in the general election? It could, as a Biden campaign spokesman told …
In collaboration with the National Down Syndrome Society, toy manufacturing company Mattel added a Down Syndrome Barbie to their product line on Tuesday. Typically, I turn off when I hear the word “inclusion,” but in this case, I think Mattel has done a very caring and lovely thing. Citing data from the Centers for Disease …
She did it again. Nearly every time Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to the public, the occasion ends with a humiliating and viral sound bite. And this time was no exception. In her first public appearance since President Biden’s re-election announcement, Harris delivered remarks at an abortion rights rally at her alma mater, Howard University, …
The news that Tucker Carlson, Fox News’ highest-rated primetime host, had been ingloriously fired sent shockwaves throughout the media world on Monday. The ladies of ABC’s The View, of course, were delirious over the development. The left-leaning website The New Republic found it “hilarious” and wrote, “It turns out the Fox News host wasn’t nearly …
Election interference comes in many forms. The party controlling the White House could, say, collude with the administration’s attorney general to stage a raid on the leader of the opposition party’s home ahead of an important midterm election. A sitting president could announce an executive order to cancel $400 billion in student debt in order …
Washington attorney Mark Lytle represents an anonymous IRS Criminal supervisory special agent who wishes to come forward as a whistleblower. On Wednesday, Lytle sent a letter to a bipartisan group of members of Congress. He wrote that his client “has been overseeing the ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high profile, controversial subject” and would …
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified before the House Homeland Security Committee about his agency’s 2024 budget proposal on Wednesday. It did not go well. The hapless official was called out in spectacular fashion by GOP committee members who were incensed over the department’s prioritization of climate change initiatives over the very real fentanyl crisis …
In a sane world, Alissa Heinerscheid, vice president of marketing for Bud Light, would be out of a job following her disastrous decision to partner with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote sales of a product that has appealed to working-class, ordinary, and decidedly unwoke people for generations. The move has led to a boycott …
Former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov defected to Canada in 1970 at the age of 31. In 1984, he wrote a book titled, “Love Letter to America,” in which he warned us of the Soviet Union’s four part plan to destroy western societies from within. In an interview with journalist G. Edward Griffin at the time, …
Domestic Policy Council Director and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice made an astonishing claim during remarks before Al Sharpton’s racial justice advocacy group National Action Network last Wednesday. She said that between 2000 and 2020, racism against blacks cost the US $16 trillion in lost GDP. That’s quite a statement. She told the audience: …
Citing losses of “tens of millions of dollars a year,” Walmart announced they will be closing four stores in Chicago. Four other Walmart stores will remain open in the city. The company issued a statement on Tuesday which said: The simplest explanation is that collectively our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened …
At a private Manhattan fundraiser in 2016, then-candidate Hillary Clinton famously described Trump supporters as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.” This was Clinton’s updated version of former President Barack Obama’s 2008 remarks about the people living in small-town Pennsylvania, whom he depicted as bitter folks who “cling to guns or religion …
The New York Post reviewed the police report of an incident that occurred at a Blue Ash, Ohio, Target store in October. Upon hearing that her bill totaled over $1,000, customer Karen Ivery became irate and demanded that it be paid by reparations. Ivery became so aggressive during her encounter with the manager, the store’s loss …
One New Year’s Eve in the 1990s, I was seated on a train waiting to leave Grand Central Station when a huge man dressed as a woman moved through the car. Although he appeared oblivious to the stares and smirks from my fellow passengers, his presence had created quite a stir. As he settled down …
New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump last week was a blow to America’s status as a democratic republic. Although Bragg alone brought the indictment, he would not have taken such a momentous step without the full backing of party leaders. So, it’s fair to say he acted on …
