Move over, Woodrow Wilson. Take a seat, Barack Obama. Let him through, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. Based on last week’s $6 trillion budget proposal, Joe Biden has surpassed all of those liberal icons to take a position at the head of the pack as the most extreme radical ever to inhabit the White House. Were Biden to succeed in turning his budget proposal into reality, he would more radically transform the nation than those previous presidents combined. The Biden budget will not be enacted as is. And, because the document itself reveals that not only will it not fix...

Voters will go to the polls on June 8 to choose candidates for an array of elected offices in the Democratic and Republican party primaries. The polling locations will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. for in-person voting. Vote-by-mail secure drop boxes, for voters who prefer not to vote in person, are available at the East Windsor Municipal Court Building at 80 One Mile Road and at Hightstown Fire Co. No. 1 at 140 N. Main St. The winners in the political primaries will square off in the Nov. 2 general election.

Some emergencies require an increase in government spending, but that comes with an understanding that the higher levels of spending are unusual and will not be sustained. Unfortunately, this understanding seems to be lost on the Biden administration. Exhibit A is his proposed $6 trillion budget for Fiscal Year 2022 and the accompanying huge budget deficits on the books for the next decade. This is bad news for everybody except politicians and their cronies. It signals once again that contrary to the words spoken by the president during his inaugural address, unity is not in the cards for us Americans....

After impeaching President Donald Trump for the so-called insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, House Democrats want to, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi put it, "establish a bipartisan agreement for a 9/11-style commission to report on the facts and the causes of the attack." Before the Senate vote to establish this commission, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "The American people will see where every member stands: on the side of truth or on the side of Donald Trump's big lie." Having already pronounced Jan. 6 an "insurrection" sparked by Trump's "big lie," Democrats like Pelosi and Schumer tell us, with a...

Nearly every statement from the president, and other Democrat leaders as well, is now being touted as a "defense of democracy." "Democracy," in fact, has become the left's favorite word for defending its violent assault on our democracy. Whenever progressives use the word, rest assured that they're interested in their own power, not in your freedom. Biden's Memorial Day speech is a good example. In what the Washington Post called "a rousing defense of democracy," Biden launched a familiar attack on those who are actually protecting our democracy. In fact, Biden's "Memorial" Day speech said nothing of substance about those...

TIZAMARTE, Guatemala - Alvina Jerónimo Pérez tries to avoid going out. She doesn’t want to see neighbors. She’s even changed the chip in her cellphone since her failed journey to the United States. The 42-year-old woman is fearful her unsuccessful migration could cost her more than she can bear — even the single-story concrete block house her husband built on land passed down from her great grandparents in this mountaintop hamlet in south-central Guatemala. From afar, it seemed a safe bet. Many others in town, even in her own family, had made similar journeys. “Since people were passing (the border),...

The definition of 'social justice' is imprecise. That's where the rub begins. It has precise meaning only for its user, is what the user wants it to be. So, can it be precisely defined? Perhaps, if we focus upon its application. In his 1999 book The Quest for Cosmic Justice, Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote, "In politics, the great non-sequitur of our time is that 1) things are not right and that 2) the government should make them right. Where right all too often means cosmic justice, trying to set things right means writing a blank check for a never-ending expansion...

The results of the 2020 census are in, and the Democrats are looking very nervous. It turns out that red states are growing and blue states are shrinking. Red States are gaining three congressional seats while blue states are losing three. In fact, California will lose a seat for the first time ever. Legislative and Electoral College power is shifting in favor of the Republicans. But the propaganda ministry is trying to convince us that this is all good news for the crime family that calls itself the Democrats. The narrative is that liberals are moving from blue states to...

Well, it looks like RINO season is upon us because Republicans in Georgia are taking a stand and turning up the heat on RINO leadership to get to the bottom of what happened. According to reports, Kemp is under fire once more for his handling of the 2020 elections. Here’s more info from the Washington Examiner. ore than 500 Republicans in Georgia are urging Gov. Brian Kemp to pursue a forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election. The letter, obtained by the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, was signed by 531 Republicans ranging from grassroots activists, to precinct leaders, to delegates...

A petition urging Google to allow its staff to use their chosen names on their identification badges — among other calls to improve workplace culture for contracted employees — is swiftly gaining traction after Phares Lee, a transgender man employed by G4S in a contracted security position for Google, said he asked to have his deadname removed from his own badge and was repeatedly denied. Spearheaded by the Alphabet Workers Union on Tuesday, the petition titled “Drop the Deadnames” now has 700 signatures, many of which are from individuals employed by Google. (A deadname refers to the name a transgender...

During America's first-ever national lockdown, thousands of unelected bureaucrats, as well as federal and state governments, assumed enormous powers not usually accorded to them. They picked and chose which businesses could stay open without much rationale. They sent the infected into nursing homes occupied by the weak and vulnerable. Their rules for prosecuting those who violated social distancing, sheltering in place, mask wearing or violent protesting often hinged on political grounds. Their spending measures on "infrastructure" and "health care" were excuses to lard up redistributive entitlements. Conservatives moaned that left-wing agendas were at work beneath the pretenses of saving us...

It’s safe to say that Democrats and their fawning, suck up protectors in the media are getting anxious at the lack of accomplishments from the White House. The filibuster still stands. The Supreme Court remains unpacked. D.C. is not a state. Their attempt to take over elections has stalled. After playing a clip of Joe Biden lashing out at moderate Senators Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema, 11th Hour host Brian Williams panicked. Talking to Democratic MSNBC analyst (and former Senator Claire McCaskill), Williams fretted, “Put less classily, lot of people would like to see him start throwing punches, kicking ass...

So far, nobody has done a better job of putting it all together. As analysts pore through the thousands of pages of Fauci emails released under FOIA, we are getting a better handle on his efforts to prevent exposure of his own role in funding gain of function research in the Wuhan lab where it appears COVID 19 was invented, and from which it leaked. Moreover, the emails expose Fauci’s efforts to shape media coverage, his correspondence with billionaires Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, and his early acknowledgement that masks were useless in protecting a wearer from infection. So far,...

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — Free donuts, and even free marijuana have been offered to those who show proof of getting vaccinated against COVID-19 in the United States. Last weekend, Francesco’s Pizza in Providence gave away a free slice to those who showed a COVID-19 vaccination card. Frank Schiavone, who opened the pizza shop in October — the height of the pandemic — said Sunday’s event was a way to “mix business in trying to do something good.” He gave away hundreds of slices. Local incentives continue next week in an effort to get younger Rhode Islanders vaccinated. The City of...

Copenhagen (AFP) - Denmark already has one of Europe's harshest stances on immigration, but the wealthy Scandinavian country is set to adopt legislation on Thursday enabling it to open asylum centres outside Europe where applicants would be sent to live. The latest move by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's Social Democratic anti-immigration government is aimed at deterring migrants from coming to Denmark at all. In practice, asylum seekers would have to submit an application in person at the Danish border and then be flown to an asylum centre outside Europe while their application is being processed. The proposal is expected to...

Everyone grew up with someone who obnoxiously would recount everything you’d just gone through, to the people who were, like they weren’t – “Did you see that chick who started talking to you?” Yeah, I was talking to her. “My God, she just walked right up and started talking to you!” For some reason, Facebook thinks commercials feature people like this is a good way to get Congress to allow them to rewrite Internet regulations. If you’ve watched cable TV at all in the last month you’ve seen one of those stupid ads from Facebook calling for new Internet regulations....

U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-North Bergen) isn’t sure there’s any room left for moderates in the Republican Party. The senator lamented the party’s rightward shift during and after President Donald Trump’s lone term in office. “The nation cannot move forward with a Republican party that is absolutely controlled by Trump, not because of him as the person but because of what he believes in,” Menendez said Wednesday. “When you cannot get Republican members to get an independent commission to investigate the insurrection of Jan. 6, which they lived through and which their comments immediately after called for such an effort.”

Vaccination rates across the country have plateaued as more states expand eligibility to all residents. To get more people to roll up their sleeves, incentives ranging from free beer to signing bonuses are being offered by cities, states and local businesses. The average daily rate of vaccination has been on the decline for about two weeks. More than 20 states are not ordering all available doses of the vaccine as interest slows. Just last week, Philadelphia nearly lost 1,000 doses that were set to expire. So far, just 40% of the adult population in the United States is vaccinated, and...

Honoring BLM Marxists and their message of hate is indefensible. Seeing those giant "Black Lives Matter" flags being unfurled at embassies around the world last week was another "surely this can't be happening" moment for Americans watching the federal government's steady embrace of evil. It was as if Heinrich Himmler had risen from the grave to lead the Democratic Party in ordering the draping of Schutzstaffel (SS) flags over the entrances to civic buildings of conquered territories. Except all those embassies and consulates are on American soil, so the revolting reality was that the Marxist paramilitary "brownshirts" of BLM had...
