America’s Founding Fathers were nothing short of extraordinary. Never before had a group of men come together to do things that would so change the arc of human history. To a man, they likely agreed with Sir Isaac Newton’s adage from 1676: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." This particularly applies to the two men most responsible for the nation’s founding documents, Thomas Jefferson & James Madison. Jefferson, whose extensive library was the basis upon which the Library of Congress is built, was extraordinarily well read. From Plato and Plutarch to Chaucer...

Rape, robbery, and aggravated assault soared more than 40 percent under the Biden-Harris administration despite claims to the contrary, Justice Department data that the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) analyzed show. The finding is significant because violent crime fell 15 percent under former President Donald Trump, according to the CPRC’s estimate. “Despite their fraudulent statements that they made,” Trump said during Tuesday’s debate, “crime in this country is through the roof. And we have a new form of crime. It’s called migrant crime.” Migrant crime is rampant, according to the Trump campaign: Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old Maryland mother of five,...

"You know, I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was...

The Justice Department issued a warning to states Monday to tread lightly in trying to clean up their election systems of bogus names and ineligible voters, firing a shot across the bow of GOP-led states that have been trying to erase noncitizens from their rolls. Department officials also released a web video pleading with people to come forward with stories if they think they have been “improperly” removed. In new guidance to states, the department said federal law allows states to clean their rolls, but it must be done within strict guidelines and only for approved reasons such as a...

The Biden-Harris parole program that allows as many as 360,000 illegal aliens a year from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV) to enter the United States is not only illegal, but is fraud-ridden. The fraud is so massive that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly paused the program in the hope they could get it fixed before the American public learned about the extent of the problems.

Nixon Azuaje-Perez, 19, and Dixon Azuaje-Perez, 20, were taken into custody by Aurora police for evidence tampering related to the incident at the Nome Street Apartments, one of several properties reportedly under the control of South American criminal organizations.

From George Orwell’s 1984 comes one of the author’s most memorable lines: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”Well, while the fictional party of Oceania illustrated a society in which the people were to dismiss reality in authoritarian submission, Colorado governor Jared Polis prefers to gaslight us, describing the “evidence of [our] eyes and ears” as a mere figment of our “imagination.” We don’t need to “reject” anything because it’s all just in our crazy heads!Yesterday I wrote a blog on a surreal and terrifying situation in...
