Joe Biden’s long-delayed press conference included obsessive references to Donald Trump, at one point bizarrely exclaiming “Oh God, I miss him.” Our border agents surely miss Trump, as they are overrun by illegal aliens attracted by Biden’s invitation to unlawful immigration from Central America. Yet Biden refuses to visit our patrol agents despite the humanitarian crisis that is attracting worldwide attention. Trump, showing his tremendous character, declared that he plans to visit the border and thereby illustrate the lack of leadership in the White House today. Biden announced that he had assigned Vice President Kamala Harris to handle the border...

Muslim women involved with non-Muslim men often leads to gruesome episodes. A jewelry brand recently came under fire for an ad featuring a Hindu girl married happily into a Muslim family. The Hindus were vocal in their dissent on social media, and with no intention to offend their biggest customer base further, the jewelry brand chose to take the ad off the air. The Hindus were slandered by secular media for their projected aversion to interfaith marriages. The Hindus, on the other hand, refusing to kneel in front of the secular forces that are always propagating the idea of “love”...

We recently witnessed yet more examples of how incoherently the “woke” establishment talks about “race.” This confusion and duplicity can be explained by the Left’s commitment to “any means necessary” as their most important tactic for increasing their power. But it also reflects the strange persistence of the old racialist categories that flourished during the age of Jim Crow and “scientific racism.” First came the murder of eight people, six of them ethnic Asians, by a clearly insane, guilt-obsessed sex-addict. Despite confessing his motives and their corroboration by friends and family, the “woke” commissars instantly began blaming white “racism” against...

A new anti-mask protest is being planned by a local Floridian who is calling on residents to march on April 10 to “mark that date with a celebration of freedom.” Protest organizer Chris Nelson wrote:

<p>G. Gordon Liddy, a mastermind of the Watergate burglary who became a radio talk show host after emerging from prison, died Tuesday at age 90. His son, Thomas Liddy, confirmed the death but did not reveal the cause, other than to say it was not related to COVID-19.</p>

March is Women’s History Month. The media has featured articles about many impressive women and their contributions to American history. However, it appears one thing is required before a woman can be honored. She must also be a supporter of so-called reproductive rights—code for abortion. Today, celebrities brag about their abortions in the name of feminism. Actress Jameela Jamil claims her abortion was the “best decision” she ever made. Comedian Chelsea Handler says she is grateful for the two abortions she had at 16. Singer and songwriter Stevie Nicks credits the success of her band, Fleetwood Mac, to her 1979...

The U.S. Special Operations Command’s newly-hired “chief of diversity and inclusion” shared anti-Trump memes on Facebook, namely one that likens the former president to Adolf Hitler. Upon the Defense Department’s announcement of the hiring of Richard Torres-Estrada, several volatile posts were dug up. A comparison photo of Hitler and Trump Photoshopped next to each other, holding Bibles in the air, has caught the most eyes. Torres-Estrada posted it on June 2, 2020. Fox News host Tucker Carlson discussed Torres-Estrada’s post in a segment on Friday. “The point is, they’re the same,” Carlson said, saying clearly what the diversity director was...

A new poll from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) suggests that 56% of likely voters in California are opposed to recalling Gov. Gavin Newsom, while 40% support doing so, as his approval rating has returned to pre-pandemic levels.

The only good Catholic is a bad Catholic. That’s the unofficial position of the US Democratic Party (DNC). What does that mean? It means as far as the US Democratic Party (DNC) is concerned, the only good Catholic is one who doesn’t really believe or practice the Faith. In other words, Catholics like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi represent the sort of Catholics Democrats approve of — faithless, heretical and apostate. They constantly remind everyone about their supposed “Catholic” faith, but they don’t act like Catholics when it comes to their beliefs or policy positions. They’re “Paper Catholics,” as in...

Earlier today, the Wall Street Journal reported about how the US Justice Department has been investigating whether Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and paid her to travel with him, people familiar with the matter said. Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, violated federal sex-trafficking laws, the people said. Those laws make it illegal to transport someone younger than 18 across state lines to engage in sex. The investigation, first reported by the New York Times, began last year when Mr. Trump was president,...

The Biden administration is urging people not to call the situation at the US-Mexico border a "crisis," and the Associated Press has taken heed. An AP editor now suggests that reporters rely on data, so as not to "portray migrants as a negative, harmful influence." A leaked memo from Associated Press Vice President and Editor-at-Large for Standards John Daniszewski told AP staff to aim for "accurate and neutral language," and that the definition of "crisis" has not yet been met by the disastrous situtaion at the US-Mexico border. The memo was called "From the Standards Center: A note about the...

The state is investigating 102 potential cases of people becoming ill with COVID-19 more than two weeks after being fully vaccinated, the Washington State Department of Health reported Tuesday. According to the state, the majority of those in Washington with confirmed vaccine breakthrough experienced only mild symptoms or no symptoms. However, eight people were hospitalized with COVID-19, and the state is investigating two "potential" breakthrough cases where patients died. Both of those patients were more than 80 years old and suffered underlying health issues, according to the state. The state said that the breakthrough cases are 0.01% of the 1.2...

Jimmy Fallon may have booked one of the biggest social media stars on his show with Addison Rae, but not everyone is excited about the TikTok celebrity’s late night stint. Rae, who appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last Friday (March 26), joined Fallon on stage to show off some the dances she performs TikTok; but users of the platform were quick to point out that it wasn’t Rae who originated the choreography — it was mostly Black creators who weren’t receiving the same credit or attention. In the bit, titled “Addison Rae Teaches Jimmy 8 TikTok Dances,”...

Cops have charged a man out on parole for killing his mother with the caught-on-video stomping of a 65-year-old Asian woman outside a luxury Manhattan building, a hate crime that shocked the city, officials said Tuesday. Brandon Elliot, 38, was charged with assault as a hate crime at 1:10 a.m. Wednesday after cops received numerous Crime Stoppers tips, authorities said. In 2002 Elliot, then 19, was arrested for fatally stabbing his mother three times in the chest in front of his sister, who was 5, in the Bronx. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years to life...

Two years ago, peaceful, law-abiding gun owners across the country became felons overnight, thanks to the Trump administration's ban on bump stocks. But as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit recognized last week, Congress alone has the authority to define new federal crimes, while the president and his underlings are charged with enforcing those laws. Combining both powers in a single branch is a license for tyranny -- a danger the framers tried to avoid by carefully separating the legislative and executive functions. Regardless of their views on gun control, Americans who care about the rule of...

Today, China Joe Biden going to roll out a $3 trillion monstrosity that he will refer to as an “infrastructure” plan. – In reality, this plan is nothing more than massive new giveaways to the fake green energy lobby that helped to fund his fraudulent campaign for the presidency. Naturally the Democrat toadies in the corrupt news media will refer to those subsidies, mandates and corporate welfare provisions as “investments”, because that’s the preferred narrative of the Democrat Party: VDO.AI From the story by the corrupt Democrat hacks at Axios: President Biden is asking Congress to approve hundreds of billions...

Maybe media fact-checking will only be mostly dead in Joe Biden’s presidency. The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler gives Biden four Pinocchios over his statements about Georgia’s new voting reforms, highlighting two specific lies Biden issued over two days. This might be a lesson for the media in more ways than one

So basically, the Sock Puppet-in-Chief accused Georgia Republicans of being racists based on nothing but lies that his handlers fed to him like they feed him his morning tapioca pudding. And the lies were so egregious that even the WaPo felt it could not just ignore them like it normally does for Democrat liars. That’s some serious lying right there, folks. But hey, it’s Joe Biden, and that’s just how he rolls. In fact, it’s how he has always rolled.

Garry Kasparov, the former world chess champion, has commented that he was “enjoying the irony of … [Sen. Bernie] Sanders supporters lecturing me, a former Soviet citizen, on the glories of socialism and what it really means ... In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself.” The soul-sapping nature of socialism was my subject last week, so I won’t go through the same stuff again, much though it bears repeating. Nevertheless, Kasparov’s comment led to further discussion of socialism after I reposted it on social media, and one respondent, a highly civilized left-wing friend I’ve...
