As we are now three months out from the elections and almost one month removed from the storming of the Capitol, we can step back, catch our breath, and reassess where we stand. Emotions are calming down, the news cycle is less intense, and fanatical voices are being separated from reasonable voices. Yet one thing remains constant: millions of fair-minded Americans still believe there was serious election fraud. This is an issue that simply will not disappear. These people are not wild-eyed white supremacists (or even non-wild-eyed white supremacists). To the contrary, they are as mortified as anyone over the...

Bank of America Gives Customer Data to Federal Authorities After Capitol ProtestsThe mega-bank Bank of America has been giving private information about its customers to the federal government following the mostly peaceful protests at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, as reported by Fox News.The report comes from Tucker Carlson’s show Tucker Carlson Tonight, which obtained exclusive documents showing that Bank of America went through the private data and transaction history of all of its more than 60 million customers. This was due to the bank coming to an agreement with the federal government to use this information to identify...

Since the January 6th riot at the Capitol, the talking heads in the media, political elites, and other progressive activists have been opining on the need to deprogram Trump supporters as they attempt to paint us all as craven conspiracy theorists with the potential for violence. You see this in their obsession with Representative Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.), a freshman member with no real political power. Yet, they take her past comments and extrapolate her insane assertions to half the population. Yes, dear readers, if you liked the foreign policy or domestic policy implemented by the Trump administration better than...

Joe Biden continues to lie about his past. This time, he brought back a debunked story of him allegedly being shot at while overseas. At a debate in 2007, Biden claimed he was targeted at the Green Zone in Baghdad. He had to retract those comments after getting backlash from veterans.

First Lady Jill Biden filmed a public service announcement released Thursday, urging Americans to keep wearing their masks during the coronavirus pandemic. The first lady appeared in the video with her family’s two dogs Champ and Major. The ad was titled “Puppy Bowl XVII” to coincide with this year’s Super Bowl on Sunday.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday doubled down on her “terrifying” experience during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — saying she initially kept mum about it because “so many survivors fear being publicly doubted.” The Bronx-Queens congresswoman appeared on “CBS This Morning” after being accused of exaggerating details of Jan. 6, when a mob of protesters supporting former President Donald Trump protesters breached the Capitol building. “It’s unfortunately kind of the spring to deny and to politicize our accounts, was something that I sat with,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the show. “So many survivors fear being publicly doubted. But the fact of...

We should strive to play, sing and compose our best, but worship is not about us and what we like. It's a way of encountering and glorifying God.The old fogeys may have had a point about guitars in church. It’s not that there is anything profane about guitars; they are great instruments that can be used wonderfully in worship. And scripture testifies to the worth of using many instruments to praise God and includes calls for loud rejoicing in worship. But there have been downsides to the revolution in church worship over the last couple of generations. Fights over church...

Hunter Biden has moved his family to a stylish $5.4million canal-front home in Venice, California, DailyMail.com can reveal. The president's son moved into the three-story property with wife Melissa and their 10-month-old son Beau toward the end of last year and the family is now under 24-hour Secret Service protection. It's believed the father of five, who turned 51 on Thursday, is paying $25,000 a month to rent the property owned by Sweetgreen co-founder and CEO Jonathan Neman.

Shake the 2020 Blues and Look to 2022As I wrote in Thursday’s installment of my Morning Briefing, conservative Republicans are dreaming a lot about 2024 because it’s a coping mechanism that helps to ameliorate the pain of the daily slaps upside the head we’re getting from the new puppet president.There is also still a lot of justifiable anger over last November and the rather fantastical processes that followed.All of the above is understandable but potentially dangerous because attention is being diverted from the most important and attainable goal for the GOP: winning the House back in 2022.This column is going...

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,...
