Democrats occupy D.C. while their own people die every day. After shooting deaths shot up 75% in Chicago, Governor Pritzker announced that he was dispatching 500 more National Guard troops to fight “the dark forces of racism” in D.C. Washington D.C. may be suffering from “the dark forces of racism” since it’s currently in the hands of the party of racism, slavery, and segregation, but those National Guard troops would do a lot more good in Chicago where 81%, the majority of shooting victims, are black. Around 150 people have been shot since Pritzker sent the troops to D.C. instead...

CBO’s work provides important context about Democratic health-care proposals, including the end goal for most on the left: a full government takeover of health care.Amidst all the pre-holiday jockeying over an economic “stimulus” package, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a little-noticed report with big implications. More than 18 months after CBO issued a publication on single-payer health care with very little specificity, last month the budget analysts published a 200-plus page report giving more detail about the potential impact of a move to a government-run health system.Joe Biden claims his administration will not implement a single-payer plan, even though...

Democrats and other American leftists are waging a war against something they call "toxic masculinity." Any attribute deemed exclusively male is bad. Meanwhile, China is heading in a different direction. It's decided that its boys have become too feminized and is working hard to inculcate more manly qualities. The war on boys has been in play for some time. I first became aware of it when my son was three, and a darling kid who was the perfect boy stereotype. He was fascinated with trucks, dinosaurs, and superheroes. Unlike my daughter and her friends, who often sat and talked, he...

In 1979, China introduced its "one-child policy," the most drastic population control measure in world history. Although it was eventually modified to allow rural parents, and then all parents, to have two children, the policy was carried out with single-minded ferocity, including forced sterilization and abortion. Ironically, China is now facing a stunning population deficit from which there may be no turning back.It's probable that American leftists kind of like China's stringent birth control policies. After all, Democrats view humans as a blight upon the planet. There's a whole movement out there that is ensnaring teenagers who promise not to...

Democrats are looking to put the state of Georgia on a fast-track to becoming their next deep blue stronghold like California, primarily due to mass immigration that has increased their voting blocs. In a report by the Guardian, Democrats said they are fiercely courting the votes of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders — 3-in-4 of which were born outside the United States — in Georgia’s pair of runoff races on January 5 where Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) faces a challenge from Democrat Raphael Warnock and Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) is facing Democrat Jon Ossoff.

Well, now we know for sure that the bulk of the Republican members of the House do not represent their constituents — not at all. They represent themselves and their coveted membership in that school for scoundrels we call Congress. Despite Liz Cheney's gross betrayal of President Trump and her own constituents in Wyoming, 145 of them by secret ballot voted not to remove her from her leadership position. This demonstrates that those 145 representatives value their standing in the swamp more than they value their oath to uphold the Constitution. They all know that Trump in no way incited...

A Cornell Law School professor has launched a new database which lists schools teaching critical race theory, after blasting the practice as ‘very racist’ and accusing ‘anti-racism ideology’ of causing discrimination on campuses. William Jacobson appeared on Fox News on Thursday night to speak about the site, which he claims will help parents avoid sending their children to schools where they will be ‘indoctrinated’ into thinking that the ‘most important thing in society is the color of your skin’. Jacobson, the founder of the conservative website Legal Insurrection, launched the site earlier this week and has already listed 220 universities...

George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are officially cancelled. In the latest excess of radical left cancel culture, the San Francisco School Board has voted to rename 44 public schools after a biased and historically inaccurate report judged their namesakes to be unworthy of the honor. Famous Americans whose names are to be stricken from the schools include Founding Fathers George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, as well as less obvious targets such as California Senator Dianne Feinstein, a radical Democrat. Feinstein's crime? While mayor of San Francisco in 1984, she replaced a Confederate Flag which stood as part of a larger...

Joe Biden continues to lie about the impact of mandatory higher wages. Mumbling to President Trump and the American people at the third presidential debate, he had said that "there is no evidence that when you raise the minimum wage, businesses go out of business. That is simply not true." He and his team have since reiterated this claim. This is the same party that asserts that biological sex is a social construct, that the immutable race of a person should be the basis of his worth, and that climate change is an existential threat to the American people. Congratulations,...

A longish video from Mike Lindell, with several experts (real experts, not the hacks that the media uses) that enumerates many of the instances of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

TUCKER: Well, many colleges and universities now teach something called critical race theory. Now, according to critical race theory, some races are inherently better than other races. This isn’t an assault on racism. It is racism and it’s spreading. Bewilderingly the deepest possible betrayal of the promise of this country of every Martin Luther King speech ever given. And yet it’s in your kid’s school. One law professor started a website called critical race.org. Once again, that’s critical race dot, or you can use that site to track the spread of these diseased ideas in schools and seeing if they’ve...

Nearly 80 cups of coffee for less than $3? Market Basket’s 11.5-ounce house brand ground coffee cans seemed like a deal too good to be true. According to a Massachusetts man’s lawsuit, that’s because it was. Two of Market Basket’s “misleading” coffee cans included less than half the number of rounded tablespoons that had been advertised on their packages, alleges a proposed class action lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court on behalf of Weymouth resident David Cohen. According to the suit, Cohen purchased the Tewksbury-based grocery store’s 11.5-ounce House Blend and 11.5-ounce House Blend Decaf coffee cans under the “reasonable...

Even though experts believe college is still worth the cost, employers question the value to their businesses. Many believe college degrees do not provide graduates with the skills needed in today’s workplace. In a 2014 survey of over 600 business leaders, only 11 percent strongly agreed that college graduates had the skills their companies needed. The majority believed that universities are not adequately preparing students. The gap has only widened since then. Employers expect more from college graduates. The mismatch between college programs and the needs of the business community creates two problems for graduates. Many cannot find meaningful employment...

Marjorie Taylor Greene and I share the same political party. We share some political views. We don't share all the same political views, God knows, but I don't see how that really makes a difference, do you?The same "cancel" rhetoric used against the freshman from Georgia has been used against Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Doug Collins, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and even grandfatherly Mitch McConnell.Let's be clear: Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin claim all Republicans are dangerous extremists when it serves their political purpose. Hell, they depicted Paul Ryan murdering an elderly, wheelchair-bound woman...

House impeachment managers sent a letter to Donald Trump strongly suggesting the former president testify at the Senate impeachment trial. The trial, slated to begin on Tuesday of next week, involves a charge from the House that Trump incited a mob of supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. A formal response from Trump’s lawyers “denied” that he “ever engaged in a violation of his oath of office,” and instead he, “at all times acted to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin (D-MD) essentially...

Comrades, it is time. Time to expand The Executive Purge List.Re-impeaching Ex-President Trump from the office of the presidency may prevent him from running for that office again. Now we must impeach all Republicans that might run for president without Democratic-Socialist approval.We are open to nominations for The Executive Purge List from all approved members of The Party™ (we know who you are.)...

Will “Big Guy” Joe Biden come through for the “not bad folks” of Communist China? Joe Biden is on record that the Chinese Communists are “not bad folks, folks,” and “not competition for us.” The Delaware Democrat, is facing a crucial decision on China, by way of Canada, that deserves careful monitoring. In December of 2018 in Vancouver, Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition warrant. China responded by taking captive Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. As Solarina Ho of CTV News reports, Trudeau has spoken to Joe Biden about the case and “should the U.S....

N.Y. money manager with dealership investments charged in $1.8B Ponzi-like fraud JONATHAN STEMPEL, Reuters NEW YORK -- The head of a New York money manager that holds a controlling stake in the nation's 11th-largest auto dealership group was criminally charged along with two associates on Thursday with running what authorities called a $1.8 billion Ponzi-like fraud where thousands of victims were falsely promised steady returns on their investments. David Gentile, CEO of GPB Capital Holdings LLC, was accused of using new money to repay earlier investors, and together with his co-defendants siphoning millions of dollars to pay themselves and fund...

Lyin’ Joe just can’t help himself, or maybe he’s just having a little Alzheimer moment. President Biden has revived an old claim that previously got him in hot water, telling state department employees Thursday that he was “shot at” overseas. Remarking on the courage of the diplomatic aides he was speaking to, Biden commented, “I’ve been with some of you when we’ve been shot at.”

NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FL – A Florida Highway Patrol trooper is miraculously unharmed after an alleged attempted execution-style shooting of the trooper that occurred during the afternoon of February 3rd.
