Former CIA Director John Brennan says he is "looking forward to the extermination of the Trump threat to our democracy. Trump may think that being voted out means he will be left alone. He won't. Trump's voters may think that casting a ballot for this criminal is their right. It's not." "Right now, my inside sources tell me that under Biden's leadership the intelligence community has been given carte blanche to use whatever means necessary to root out and destroy this cadre of domestic terrorists before they can do any further harm," Brennan giddily bragged. "I would not be surprised...

Why do people go into politics? For some, it’s perhaps hard to imagine them doing anything else, such as President Biden’s special climate envoy, John Kerry, last seen Wednesday at the White House, chromed and constant in his national presence, a welcome statesman in an era of state breakdown, or a perennial pity party, thrown another bone by the Democratic establishment which still feels sorry for him on account his 2004 presidential loss, depending on your perspective. Maybe both.

Nancy Pelosi and her fellow gender-inclusive enthusiasts have taken a bold and much-disparaged move to erase language that expresses the reality of familial relationships. In the name of inclusivity, words like “father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, nephew, niece, husband, wife, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law” have been targeted for erasure from House proceedings.

Former presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard unloaded on Rep. Adam Schiff, former CIA director John Brennan, and Big Tech companies, referring to them as “domestic enemies.” In a video clip and blistering Twitter thread, Gabbard denounced the Capitol rioters for their actions earlier this month but accused people like Schiff and Brennan of being far more dangerous. “The mob who stormed the Capitol on January 6 to try to stop Congress from carrying out its constitutional responsibilities were behaving like domestic enemies of our country,” Gabbard said. “But let’s be clear, the John Brennans, Adam Schiffs and the oligarchs in Big...

New data released by a number of states across the country show significant drops in birth rates, pointing to signs of what could be a broader baby bust amid the pandemic. Last month, a Brookings Institution report reiterated an initial projection that the coronavirus pandemic would result in at least 300,000 fewer births in 2021. Data recently gathered by NBCLX from December 2020, when the first babies conceived during the pandemic would be born, are already showing signs of significant decline. Compared to the same period a year earlier, a number of states that keep track of their births in...

resident Biden and his press secretary, Jen Psaki, have assured us he is a "devout Catholic" who "attends church regularly." The question is not new but should be asked again and a credible answer demanded. How can one be devout about one's faith and not comport with Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church? As the Apostle James wrote, "faith without works is dead." (James 2:14-26) President Biden might believe his "works" consist of more government programs, executive orders and policies that some believe are contributing to the divisive culture wars, but some of these policies are antithetical to...

A top Arizona ally of former President Donald Trump in his campaign to challenge the results of the 2020 election is now facing demands for a closer examination of her own contest that she narrowly won. Kelli Ward, who was reelected chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party this month by a mere 42 votes, is so far silent in the face of calls for the party, including from her top challenger, to conduct an audit of the results. Owens also said Arellano and two other Republicans have requested an audit, including witnesses, to take place on Thursday, but she did...

The Biden administration, now in its second week, remains committed to governing via record executive orders, and White House press secretary Jen Psaki isn’t doing a great deal to offer any semblance of transparency. In fact, unlike her predecessor Kayleigh McEnany, she’s evasive, vague and inexact when facing even the simplest of questions. Perhaps it's part of the job when you’re paid to answer for an administration that was never expected to prioritize an open relationship with a White House press pool that was, in turn, never expected to demand any semblance of accountability from the White House. After savaging...

THE REVOLUTION DEVOURS ALL BEFORE IT. The latest enactment of that old truth happened Tuesday night in, of all places, a Zoom meeting of the San Francisco School Board. In that meeting, members voted to strip the names of American historical figures -- George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and even California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein -- from schools in San Francisco. What began in recent years as a call to remove the names of Confederate leaders from schools, roads, and military bases, and then to tear down Confederate statues, has now moved on to target all of American history....

The craziest financial story of the week has got to be GameStop stock’s meteoric rise from $6 a share to $340 a share overnight. It all began when Melvin Capital hedge-fund managers decided to short GameStop, betting the stock would fall. But a lot of retail investors viscerally hate billion-dollar hedge-fund managers who make a living manipulating the stock market and driving small investors out of the game.The investors on Reddit’s “Wall Street Bets” page got together to buy, buy, buy GameStop and drove the stock way up, costing Melvin Capital billions of dollars. You could say it was a...

On January 28, President Biden will revoke the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance Policy—allowing billions of dollars in American foreign aid to flood the developing world for funding abortions. In place since January 2016, the Protecting Life Policy (an expansion of the former Mexico City Policy) prevents foreign organizations that perform or promote abortion as a method of family planning from receiving global health funds from the U.S. government. With the U.S. awarding approximately $10 billion for global health annually, the Policy’s impact on recipient countries is immense. The last evaluation indicated that the top two global abortion providers...

JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Several attorneys general around the nation, including Mississippi’s Lynn Fitch, are challenging President Biden not to overstep his bounds under his oath of office. Fitch signed a letter sent to President Joe Biden on Wednesday saying that any potentially unconstitutional executive actions or federal overreach will not go unchallenged. The letter opens by saying, “Dear President Biden, one week ago you assumed the presidency of the United States of America, and took the oath of office. You swore to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States of America. Today, we write to you...

What is not obvious to most is that China is actually run by about 50 very rich families who own and control most of the choice properties and businesses in China. The 91 million CCP members are effectively a total-control Mafia ruling approximately a billion and a half Chinese people. Yes, most of the very rich are members of the CCP or are officially communists, but they more truly function like the criminal Mafia with worldwide ambitions.The latest ambition of the CCP is stealing seafood from the territorial waters of less powerful nations worldwide. China has overfished its territorial waters...

People with the highly contagious UK strain of COVID-19 are less likely to report sky-high fevers than those with the original illness, according to a study released Wednesday. But patients with the newer virus variant report suffering from a sore throat, aching muscles and fatigue more often, according to the survey, released by Britain’s Office for National Statistics. Symptoms of the new strain differ from the three main ones associated with the original COVID-19 virus — fever, continuous cough and loss of smell or taste, the UK Sun reported, citing the survey and health officials.

Chief Justice John Roberts’ refusal to preside over former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial is raising questions about whether he views the first-of-its-kind proceedings as constitutional. The Supreme Court has been declining to comment when reached by The Post, as well as other outlets, on why its top jurist will not take part in the historic trial.

The Biden regime's January 20 executive order demanding "equal treatment under the law, no matter [one's] gender identity or sexual orientation" is just the first salvo in the next wave pushing "LGBT rights." The order will soon be backed by federal law, via the pending LGBT "Equality Act."While many are now warning that the order will destroy girls' and women's sports, its impact is much broader.The enforcers will be given free rein to transform society in unimaginable ways, given the undefined terms in the order and pending law: gender identity, sexual orientation, LGBT. Why has there been no pushback on...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Health Department understated the number of New Yorkers who died in nursing homes during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic by more than 50 percent as the facilities struggled to properly isolate and treat residents amid a state order they not turn away COVID-19 patients. The bombshell finding was contained in a new 76-page report released Thursday by state Attorney General Letitia James, which found that mismanagement and long-standing problems in the private care business turned nursing homes into COVID death traps. “As the pandemic and our investigations continue, it is imperative that we understand why...

Joe Biden was inaugurated a week ago, and like the dictator his handlers have long yearned to install, his has started out as a cruel administration. His 22 executive orders so far, more than any other president in history, have already sent tens of thousands of jobs down the drain with coldhearted carelessness. He stopped construction of the Keystone XL pipeline with the stroke of his pen. He has put all those who were working on the border wall out of work. As all those who opposed his candidacy suspected, he is doing China's bidding. Of course he is; the...

“Rope a dope.” While the media devotes 24 hours a day to putting convoluted and sometimes just plain foolish “political contributors” on TV to talk about the ins and outs of the senate Kabuki Theater, the democrats are giving millions of their low information followers a chance to say, “ME TOO” once again. When the vote is taken, a new group will take to the streets after being told they have been cheated. They will be unified in the belief that Trump got away with urging people to burn the capitol and kill the democrats because the trial was rigged.

Of all the executive orders that newly elected Joe Biden swiftly enacted, nothing is more indicative of his anti-American animus and radical left-wing influence than his revoking Trump's "1776 Commission" to promote "patriotic education." The 1776 Commission to Create Patriotic History Curriculum is in direct contrast to the "1619 Project," which reflects a decidedly anti-American, factually incorrect, and blatantly biased program currently being pushed through the U.S. education system.The mission of the 1776 Commission is "to defend the legacy of America's founding, virtue of America's heroes, and the nobility of the American character." But the left continues the mendacious onslaught...
