The Trump administration walked back federal protections for renters in early October, even though rent moratoriums were still in effect, which allowed property owners and operators to begin the eviction process for millions of people as tens of billions of dollars in back rent is coming due. In early September, the CDC published new, temporary guidelines to halt evictions because of the virus pandemic. The public health agency said: The CDC, located within the HHS announces the issuance of an Order under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act to temporarily halt residential evictions to prevent the further spread...

Anyone who has read this byline over the years knows that I'm not in the prediction business. I rarely take the precious space this fine website grants me to tell you what I think or believe may happen in the future, especially when it comes to how Americans will vote. Anyone who tries to predict how the American electorate will respond to the candidacy of Donald Trump is lying to you and themselves and engaged in a fool's errand. This is a political figure who has defied every ounce of conventional wisdom in the five short years he has been...

Weeks ago, I discussed the concept that the Left and Right in America were watching one screen but seeing two movies. Case in point: Reuters blares “ With time running out, Trump to launch attacks on Biden’s family at debate” to “steady a campaign that is struggling.” Struggling?” Really? Only in the minds of the Hoax Pollsters and Hoax News media. Behind such now-expected stories, however, are little inklings that even the Hoax News Left knows the narrative they have been feeding Americans for months is a lie.Last night, on Twitter, Jack Posobiec overheard a well-known correspondent from a leading...

"It's a day of...

Podcaster Megyn Kelly declared President Donald Trump the winner of Thursday evening’s presidential debate, the final matchup between the two major 2020 candidates. “Trump won this debate, handily.

On Thursday, The Detroit News endorsed Republican John James over incumbent Democrat Gary Peters for U.S. Senate. “It is an honor to have the endorsement of one of Michigan’s most prestigious and well-read publications,” James said in response to the endorsement. “Our state and nation are currently at a crossroads, and Michigan has the choice between a combat veteran or a career politician, a war fighter or a gaslighter. It’s time for Michigan to have effective leadership in the Senate where no voice will be left out.” It appears that Twitter isn’t too happy about this endorsement and is warning...
