Why are there some 21,000 troops and oodles of razor wire in Washington D.C.? Really, it is an amazing, not to say an ominous, spectacle. As one Twitter wit put it, Donald Trump brought peace to the Middle East, Joe Biden brought war to Washington. …One rigged election: As the years go by, historians, if the censors allow them access to the documents and give them leave to publish their findings, will count the 2016 presidential election as the last fair and open democratic election. Beginning with the election of 2020, the game was rigged. I know, I know, we...

Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Friday evening announced the impeachment trial for Trump will begin the week of February 8th. .... Snip.... The swamp knows that Trump won the 2020 election and still has a solid base of tens of millions of supporters so they are working to bar Trump from ever running for office. The House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump last week – 10 Republican traitors joined the Democrats and voted in favor of impeachment. Speaker Pelosi will send the articles of impeachment to the senate on Monday. Pelosi and the Democrats have accused Trump of...

State Surgeon General, Dr. Scott Rivkees, released an advisory on Thursday outlining residency requirements for the coronavirus vaccine. In a report from the Florida Department of Health, more than 43,000 out-of-state vaccines have been distributed in the Sunshine State. The advisory will now prevent some people from being able to cross state lines into Florida to get their vaccine. “What that means, is we are going to be checking those people’s ID and of course the preferred method is for a person to have a driver’s license or a Florida ID,” said Florida Department of Health in Bay County Public...

WASHINGTON—China has fallen short on meeting its pledges in the “phase one” trade agreement signed last year and the Biden administration will soon commence a review of the deal to determine a proper policy response. Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen said there would be no immediate moves to lift punitive tariffs on Chinese imports that were imposed by the Trump administration. “We are closely monitoring China’s adherence to all of its Phase One commitments, including both the purchase commitments and structural commitments,” she said on Jan. 21, in a written response to questions from the Senate Finance Committee following her...

California Democrats and their labor union allies are embracing anti-democratic principles to thwart the will of the people.In his first inaugural address in January 1911, California's progressive Gov. Hiram Johnson detailed a far-reaching "people's reform program" that would help wrest control of the state's government from what his contemporaries called "The Octopus"—a reference to muckraker Frank Norris' 1901 novel about the outsized power of Southern Pacific Railroad. As Norris explained, the Cyclopean sea monster was a "symbol of a vast power, huge, terrible, flinging the echo of its thunder over all the reaches of the valley, leaving blood and destruction...

The new president availed himself of Seila Law v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.The U.S. Supreme Court's June 2020 decision in Seila Law v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was not warmly received by certain progressive activists. "The far right just scored a victory," announced Marge Baker of People for the American Way. "Powerful corporate forces have turned their losing political case into a rigged constitutional one," intoned Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D–R.I.). "They've moved fringe legal theories into mainstream conservative legal thought." At issue in the case was the legality of the single-director structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Although...

Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore took to social media following President Trump’s farewell speech and vowed that the left is “not done with him” yet. In fact, Moore called for the President’s imprisonment, though he declined to elaborate as to what charges Trump should face. “He [Trump] has just left the White House for good. We the people have evicted him. I will go ahead [and] cancel the U-Haul,” he delighted. “He now flies over the wreckage he has created, knowing we are not done with him,” Moore continued. “Trial. Conviction. Imprisonment. He must pay for his actions – a first-ever...

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.(Joel 3:1-3)The final count of the four count indictment against the nations of the world by...

President Biden has revoked a Trump-era executive order that sought to keep foreign countries and companies out of America’s bulk power systems – principally entities associated with the Chinese Communist Party – as part of his “Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.” The executive order, which executes key tenets of President Biden’s climate change agenda, was released on the former Veep’s first day in office. Section 7 of the massive order, which includes the revocation of the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, also revokes several climate and energy-focused...

Barack Obama famously, fatuously, and erroneously dismissed ISIS as a “JV team.” Within a short time, that JV team had wreaked a path of extraordinary destruction across the Middle East. Trump squashed ISIS but Biden had barely set foot in the White House before ISIS violently reemerged in Iraq. On Biden’s second day in office – and for the first time in years – ISIS detonated two massive and deadly suicide/murder bombs in Baghdad: Twin suicide bombings at a Baghdad market killed at least 32 people and injured 110 others on Thursday, according to Iraq's health ministry. Of the injured,...

It is now day three of Beijing Biden's illegal presidency. The travesty continues. The question remains: What is to be done about it? Will people just complain about it or will we do something? Again, I advocate for an economic boycott on Big Tech monopolies like Amazon, "big box" stores, and any nonessential goods, especially anything made in China. Something must be done.

Today the Biden Administration announced a new COVID vaccine rollout plan. President Biden announced that Hunter Biden would be the Drug and Vaccine Czar overseeing the vaccine rollout citing his vast experience in drug distribution. Hunter announced that he was shunning CVS, Walgreens, Amazon, Walmart, and other major distributors to accelerate the vaccine rollout. Instead, Hunter has contracted with the major drug cartels to distribute the vaccines citing their vast existing distributor experience and capabilities. Since the cartels have existing agreements with local, state and national political representatives, existing structure and management capabilities would not have to be re-invented. Kickbacks...

A man who fatally shot three neighbors rambled incoherently about being a comic book villain and demanded a helicopter before officers killed him, according to a 911 recording released today by Henderson Police. Jason Neo Bourne kicked in the door of a neighbor’s apartment Nov. 3 and shot and killed two women, police said. He also wounded a 16-year-old girl and kidnapped a 12-year-old boy, police said. Police and medics responded about 11 a.m. to reports of gunfire in the 1400 block of Stonelake Cove Avenue, near Stephanie Street and Wigwam Parkway. As officers were looking for the shooter, Bourne...

The National Guard Bureau is working on a plan to call for thousands of volunteers from the 25,600 Guard members in Washington, D.C., to remain on duty in the city until as late as mid-March.

The lobbying firm run by Trump ally Matt Schlapp brought in $750,000 in the final two weeks of 2020 from a former top Trump fundraiser and convicted fraudster who retained Schlapp to lobby — unsuccessfully — for a presidential pardon. Why it matters: The substantial sum that the former fundraiser, Georgia's Parker "Pete" Petit, paid to Schlapp's Cove Strategies shows how valuable connections to Donald Trump were in his final days in office for wealthy felons seeking clemency from the outgoing president.What's new: Lobbying disclosure records filed on Thursday said Schlapp, a close informal Trump adviser, worked on a "request...

Archbishop Cordileone’s Response to Speaker Pelosi’s Comments About Pro-Life VotersMost Rev. Salvatore J. CordileoneJanuary 21, 2021On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized prolife voters who voted for Donald Trump on the abortion issue, saying their votes cause her “great grief as a Catholic” and accusing them of “being willing to sell the whole democracy down the river for that one issue.” Most Reverend Salvatore J. Cordileone, Archbishop of San Francisco, issued the following statement in response: “To begin with the obvious: Nancy Pelosi does not speak for the Catholic Church. She speaks as a high-level important government leader, and as...

At a time when legacy publications are increasingly seen as playing for one political "team" or the other, this type of editorial decision will not do anything to fix that perception.UPDATE: As of 1:15 p.m. on January 22, The Washington Post has updated its website and URLs to restore the original version of the Kamala Harris profile detailed in Reason's post, below. "We should have kept both versions of the story on the Post's site (the original and updated one), rather than redirecting to the updated version," Kris Coratti, the Post's vice president for communications, told Reason in a statement...
