Political pundits and independent fact-checkers are pushing back on some of President Joe Biden’s claims about a newly passed Georgia law that will reform the state’s election laws and procedures.Gov. Brian Kemp, R-Ga., signed into law the “Election Integrity Act of 2021” last week, much to the chagrin of Democratic politicians in his state and around the country. The measure comes shortly after the 2020 presidential election, where allegations of fraud caused many to doubt the legitimacy of the results. Following the passage of the bill, Biden described the measure as an “atrocity,” alleging that the bill has a provision...

The 13 and 15-year-old girls who murdered an Uber Eats driver during a carjacking in DC are reportedly getting a plea deal. Instead of fleeing the scene after the car that they were trying to steal crashed and rolled on its side, one of the girls began looking for her cellphone that was in the vehicle — while walking nonchalantly past their victim’s body. Their victim, Mohammad Anwar, 66, of Springfield, Virginia, was driving for Uber Eats when the girls attempted to steal his car and tased him. The horrific scene was caught on camera by a witness. ..... Snip........

Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said Friday he’s too busy to visit the U.S.-Mexico border and that it’s not his role to do so, responding to questions about Republican criticism that he’s been silent on the throngs of people entering the country from COVID-19-infected regions. Fox News’ Neil Cavuto asked Fauci a series of questions about the torrent of criticism from prominent Republicans, who have accused the infectious disease expert of staying mum on COVID-19-positive illegal immigrants and who have complained Fauci is not using his influence to persuade the Biden administration to do more to stem the border...

Noem expressed joy over a bill passed by the South Dakota Legislature, which would have banned males from women's sports.An overdue wakeup callWhether you want to call it "pro-family" or "socially conservative policy," there exist political positions based on preserving the family unit of mother, father, and child. In earlier decades, the main threats to family were abortion, divorce, and unwed parenthood, so pro-family conservatives focused on respect for life and marriage. Now the main things threatening the mother-father-child...

Despite President Biden using an example of a collapsing bridge as a highlight of his pitch for his $2.6 trillion infrastructure proposal, only 5% of the money would be spent on building and repairing roads and bridges. Fox News' White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki why so little was allocated to this purpose. "We're trying to foster public support for the President's plan," she said. "As we learned from the COVID pandemic, raising the public's level of fear is a very persuasive tool. Crumbing pavement and decrepit bridges tap into this natural fear response in a...

I am writing about energy supply modernization because it is thought more as an article of quasi-religious belief than as an actual process involving engineering. Electric Car Recharging Subject to sufficient supplies of lithium for batteries and copper and rare earth metals for electric motors, electric cars have a great technical future. However, changing technology can result in changing job opportunities since vehicle-making jobs might forcibly be relocated by governments to countries that supply the essential raw materials. Vehicle manufacturers should endeavor to build multi-year crucial raw material stockpiles. An electric car might go about 280 miles on 70kwh of...

Heritage Action executive director Jessica Anderson, who has continually highlighted the left’s lies on Georgia’s election integrity law, slammed Major League Baseball after it announced it would pull the All-Star game and Draft from Atlanta over the law. “It’s a shame the MLB has taken an American pastime and weaponized it against a majority of Americans who support common sense voting reforms. Maybe they should move to Beijing,” she remarked: Democrats claim the law suppresses minority votes, but this, again, is false. Heritage Action explained the Georgia law “was silent on Sunday early voting days prior to SB 202, and...

In March, a Twitter account popped up that pretty much nobody had heard of before. By this morning, it had accumulated a total of 54 followers. The person associated with the account is not a celebrity, politicians, influencer, or someone who is often impersonated on the platform. But the account was “verified” by Twitter and is being used to spread radical leftist and pro-CCP propaganda. Now, many on Twitter are asking, “Who is ‘Dr. Jialun'”?

Labour’s Shadow Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary David Lammy listed heavyweight boxing legend Joe Frazier alongside Judas Iscariot and the KKK in a bizarre Good Friday message. “Good Friday so thinking about Judas who sold out his brother for 30 pieces of silver.” “Sure many of us can think a Judas amidst us,” he continued. “Keep the faith: ‘There is no Jesus without Judas, no Martin Luther King without the Klan; no Ali without Joe Frazier; no freedom without tyranny'”. The decision to list the late Frazier, a heavyweight world champion who brought an Olympic gold medal back to the...

It is the thesis of this monumentally argued book that the United States Supreme Court - largely through abuses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, has embarked on "a continuing revision of the Constitution, under the guise of interpretation." Consequently, the Court has subverted America's democratic institutions and wreaked havoc upon Americans' social and political lives. One of the first constitutional scholars to question the rise of judicial activism in modern times, Raoul Berger points out that "the Supreme Court is not empowered to rewrite the Constitution, that in its transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment it has demonstrably done...
