What Does the Republican Party Stand For? There are specific policies that offer a clear alternative to where the Democrats are taking America. They are not ideologically driven, they are pragmatic. For two fleeting years after Trump was elected president, the GOP controlled the White House and both houses of the U.S. Congress. This level of one-party control for the GOP was almost without precedent. Apart from 2003-2007—the end of George W. Bush’s first term in office and the beginning of his second—you have to go back all the way to 1953, the first half of Dwight Eisenhower’s first term,...

President Biden holds his first official news conference since taking office.

A recent survey found that more than one-third of Americans overestimate by as much as a factor of ten the probability a person with COVID-19 will require hospitalization.Researchers involved in the Franklin Templeton/Gallup study asked Americans in December what “percentage of people who have been infected by the coronavirus needed to be hospitalized." The correct answer is not precisely known, the authors note, but the best available estimates place the figure between 1 and 5 percent.Many people’s perceptions of the data, however, were completely off.“Less than one in five U.S. adults (18%) give a correct answer of between 1 and...

High levels of “bad” cholesterol in the blood, which have been linked to heart disease, are still a health concern. But evidence shows people no longer have to be concerned about eating foods that are high in cholesterol. What’s changed is that many researchers and physicians believe that eating cholesterol-rich foods such as eggs may not affect the cholesterol that is in your blood. “However, people with certain health problems, such as diabetes, should continue to avoid cholesterol-rich foods,” says cardiologist Steven Nissen, MD. It’s complicated Is cholesterol good for you? Is cholesterol bad for you? It’s complicated. Cholesterol is...

The United States and Europe have agreed to relaunch a bilateral dialogue on China and work together to address Russia’s “challenging behavior,” according to a statement Wednesday from U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and the EU high representative for foreign affairs, Josep Borrell.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) administration issued a coronavirus-related “code of conduct” for student athletes this week. The document, which requires a student’s signature, comes from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), the agency that took over issuing virus orders after Whitmer’s executive orders were ruled unconstitutional last October.

U.S.—Citing confusion around their past support for Black Lives Matter, Planned Parenthood has launched a new campaign, "Born Lives Matter," to make sure people understand black lives only matter after they've been born. "There was some initial confusion since our organization is responsible for ending the lives of millions of black children-- er, I mean fetuses," said CEO Iris E. Harvey. "It's important we clarify to the public that we didn't end any lives that actually mattered since only BORN black lives matter." According to sources, abortion is the leading cause of death among black Americans. According to Planned Parenthood,...

Imagine Christmas morning. A family of rather spoiled, bratty children plunge down the stairs grasping for presents. They see brightly wrapped, beribboned packages under the tree. Each scrambles to identify his. But when they’ve finished tearing everything open, each child finds only … dusty piles of charcoal from the backyard barbecue. Visualize their faces, as glee turns to sadness, then rage … then the sulking and tantrums that earned them the coal in the first place.You’ve just pictured what happens after a bloody mass shooting in America when the killer turns not to be a white male Republican Christian.After the...

Potemkin village: an impressive facade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition. That's precisely what the Biden administration is up to by only permitting the media to visit "aspirational" HHS facilities housing children crossing the border, while denying media access to CPB facilities where the conditions are very bad. The deceit is too much even for Biden fan Mika Brzezinski, who on today's Morning Joe reluctantly acknowledged that the ruse is "problematic," and wondered out loud: "Are reporters being used to sell the best part of this? I mean, we gotta see what's going on. Not Nike...

Well that certainly wasn’t in the brochure! I recently saw pictures of kids from South America detained in cages complements of the U.S. Government. The sad faces of little 5 and 6-year-olds stuffed in cells, wrapped up in aluminum foil like baked potatoes and forced to sleep on the floor haunted me. One CNN report claims that the kids are, “terrified, crying and worried because they cannot speak with family members.” Welcome to the new America where we lure you to our shores, promise you a trip to Disneyland and then stick you in overcrowded facilities like animals. That’s called...

Author and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson joined Fox Business to sound the alarm on the amount of power that Big Tech wields over the flow of information. Berenson slammed Big Tech companies like Facebook for wanting it “both ways.” Specifically, if Big Tech companies were utilities, they would not be held liable for “every bit of speech” across their platforms, but at the same time that would mean they “can’t censor anything,” Berenson said. Regarding opinions and factually inaccurate information, Berenson asked on the March 25 edition of Mornings with Maria: “Do we want these companies in...

UPDATE: Bois State University told The Daily Wire Thursday that despite Wilson identifying himself as a student and an associate professor at the school, he is “not a current student nor employee of the university.” Original story: A Black Lives Matter activist in Boise, Idaho, has been arrested in connection to a vandalized statue of former President Abraham Lincoln.

Michael Yon and his associate, war correspondent Chuck Holton, are covering the illegal migrant trail from South America to the United States. In this 1:15 minute video, Chuck shows how the CNN Spanish language channel is a giant infomercial encouraging illegal immigration to the USA. Michael and Chuck are currently in Panama (where Chuck lives) covering the migrant caravan coming out of the Darian Gap which is a roadless and very dangerous area which must be crossed by the migrants between Colombia and Panama. A story about the migrants entering the Darian Gap from Columbia and other migrant stories can...

Seemingly overnight, a large segment of America has gone insane. We’re not talking about the culture of paranoia and safety that has metastasized in the wake of COVID-19 hysteria. We’re talking about the ideological shift, particularly on cultural issues, that has occurred since the start of the Obama Administration. To pick an easy example, it would have been fairly uncontroversial even five years ago to say that men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, regardless of what they might subjectively “identify as.” And yet, this is now a subject contention across a number of sports, including mixed...

Joe Biden and his lost eyes Joe Biden got confused again on Wednesday during a meeting at the White House discussing the border crisis. As reported earlier by Biden lied about the border crisis on Wednesday and blamed Trump for the migrant surge. After lying about the migrant crisis, Joe Biden got confused again so his Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, told the press to leave the room. “Umm, now we’re going to get down to business here and, uh, Ron, who am I turning this over to?” Biden said to his Chief of Staff. But, it was even worse...

A group of America's leading experts has come together to present their findings and conclude that there is "overwhelming evidence" that voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election. Election integrity experts joined former high-level government officials for a seven-hour virtual conference on Tuesday called "Analyzing American Election Integrity."

A high school theology teacher has been fired from her private Catholic high school for disputing the Black Lives Matter narrative with regards to St. George Floyd, the drug-addicted felon who died during a police encounter in Minneapolis, Minn. last year. Bishop Ready High School theology teacher Deborah DelPrince had responded to a student’s screen displaying a picture of low IQ sportsball chucker LeBron James wearing an “I Can’t Breathe” shirt during virtual class. “That’s not necessarily true, but it perpetuates a myth against police,” DelPrince said. “I’m not sure LeBron James is in the position to be disrespectful to...

A California Couple Found $10 Million In Gold Coins In Their Backyard A California couple who discovered a $10 million cache of hidden gold coins might not be so lucky after all. According to a published article, the coins may have been stolen from the United States Mint in 1900 and are thus government property. This image provided by the Saddle Ridge Hoard discoverers via Kagin’s, Inc., shows one of the six decaying metal canisters filled with 1800s-era U.S. gold coins unearthed in California by two people who want to remain anonymous. According to the San Francisco Chronicle’s website–a search...
