Just this once, Senate Democrats assure the American public, they will attempt to suspend the use of the filibuster in hopes of passing legislation aimed at dismantling new state voting integrity laws. There is nothing sincere about such an assurance, of course. The only circumstances under which this Machiavellian majority would not vote to once again suspend the filibuster is if Republicans regained the majority and the filibuster becomes useful in thwarting their agenda once more. Fortunately, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia is signaling that he has enough courage to say “no” to his own party by refusing...

When crises are manufactured to target ideological foes and real threats are ignored, safety, security, and civil rights are sacrificed. Last November, the now-defunct Trump Accountability Project, linked to former Democratic National Committee press secretary Hari Sevugan, bruited its plan to blacklist those who worked for the Trump administration. Sevugan tweeted, “Employers considering them should know that there are consequences for hiring anyone who helped Trump attack American values. Find out how at the Trump Accountability Project.” Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Dem-NY) too called for devising lists of Trump supporters for punishment and ostracism. The rhetoric reeked of a witch-hunt to...

Vice President Kamala Harris just returned from Guatemala where she discussed the "root cause" of the post-election "surge" of "migrants" to our southern border. Harris said, "People leave home ... because they don't have opportunities there to fulfill their basic needs like feeding their children or keeping a roof over their head, or they're fleeing some kind of harm." But the USA also faces a surge in crime, including homicide, in many American cities. Why aren't we discussing this root cause? It cannot be because, as Harris says about migrants, people "don't have opportunities there to fill their basic needs."...

“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” (Proverbs 24:5).

Who would have thought it possible? Who would have ever guessed that today's military would be led by the very socialists and Marxists whom I and millions of other veterans battled during a 45-year cold war — not to mention hot wars such as Korea and Vietnam? But apparently, that is the case. Secretary of defense Lloyd James Austin III has ordered a radical leftist indoctrination of America's Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard and the newly created Space Force. To make sure this Marxist assault is carried out, Austin has hired a radical socialist named Bishop Garrison to...

Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre said Tuesday that he doesn’t support transgender New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard competing in the upcoming Olympic games. In a recent episode of his podcast “Bolling with Favre” Favre told co-host Eric Bolling that he doesn’t approve of Hubbard competing in the women's event. "It's a man competing as a woman," Favre told Bolling. "That's unfair. It's not fair for a man, even if this person wants to be a woman or feels compelled — if you want to become the opposite sex, that's fine. I got no problem with it. But you can't compete...

Nikki Haley is seeking a course-correction after a falling out with Trump World earlier this year left her isolated from some top conservatives. The former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations will headline the Iowa GOP’s annual Lincoln Dinner in Des Moines on Thursday, the latest step in a months-long effort to rehabilitate her image in conservative circles after criticizing former President Trump over the Jan. 6 riot. Since then, she has endorsed female Republican candidates, met with House conservatives on Capitol Hill and praised Trump publicly — all the while fueling speculation that she’s planning to mount her own...

Critical race theory isn’t real! At least that’s what Democrats would have you believe. They scream it from the mountain tops, yell it on the streets, chant it wherever masses of unwashed leftists get together to share their ideas and scabies with each other. But if it isn’t real, it makes you wonder why they’re so upset at the prospect of its use being banned from public schools, doesn’t it? If someone introduced a bill making it illegal to bring a unicorn on public transportation, I would think there was something wrong with that person, something seriously wrong. What I...

@Snowden Europe should not extradite those accused of non-violent crimes to a court system so unfair—and prison system so cruel—that native-born defendants would rather die than become subject to it. Julian Assange could be next. Until the system is reformed, a moratorium should remain.

Three months before the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the players filed a class-action, gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, which sets the stage for LFG. The film interweaves transcendent athletic performances, including a record-breaking World Cup victory in 2019, with the players’ ongoing pursuit for equal pay. LFG grants viewers unprecedented access to these game-changers as they meet the physical demands and pressures of being some of the world’s top athletes, while showcasing their courage, unflinching spirit and resiliency in an effort to create long-lasting social change. Told by the players themselves, including Megan Rapinoe, Jessica...

There are rumblings out there, rumblings that have increased noticeably in recent weeks, that maybe it’s time to say “Thanks” to President Trump for his yeoman service and move on. It’s nothing personal, just business – everyone appreciates the president’s accomplishments, most notably his taking a sledgehammer to the garbage bipartisan establishment and its media toadies. But we need to win next time. Up until lately, it seemed like the base was all-in on the Donald pulling the full Grover Cleveland and returning in 2024 to vanquish noted border-avoider Kamala Harris, since it’s pretty obvious that the Asterisk is not...

The dystopian future that now faces us has been (surprise!) predictable, however, for at least a century. Before the culture war heated to a boil during the 1980s and 90s, many of us were aware that change agents were infiltrating media, school, pulpit, and entertainment. (I had been awake since my return from the war in Korea in 1955). SNIP Because they still reverberate, here are some unheeded wake-up calls from the past: -“The business of a journalist now is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to vilify, fall at the feet of Mammon and sell himself for his...

... The portrait of the opioid epidemic has long been painted as a rural white affliction, but the demographics have been shifting for years as deaths surged among Black Americans. The pandemic hastened the trend by further flooding the streets with fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, in communities with scant resources to deal with addiction. In the city of St. Louis, deaths among Black people increased last year at three times the rate of white people, skyrocketing more than 33%. Black men in Missouri are now four times more likely than a white person to die of an overdose. Dr....

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Breitbart News that American adversaries like Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, and Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei “were thrilled” with the “weakness” on display from President Joe Biden during his first overseas trip. In an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, Pompeo panned both Biden’s trip to Europe and Vice President Kamala Harris’s Latin American trip to Guatemala and Mexico City. “Both of those trips remind me so much of the Obama administration and frankly I think they’re happy about it — they talk about going back,...

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office of Texas has fired Lieutenant Roxanne Mathai after she made Facebook posts touting her participation in the January 6 Capitol insurrection. She has not been criminally charged."......And we are going in......in the crowd at the stairs...not inside the capitol like the others," Mathai wrote in one of her posts. She included a selfie of her wearing a red, white and blue mask and draped in a flag declaring support for President Donald Trump."THIS IS TRUMP NATION" another photo post of hers declared, alongside red, white and blue hearts. "Not gonna lie.....aside from my kids, this...

"Authorities are responding to Champlain Towers following a collapse of the 12-floor residential complex. There are reports of people screaming under the rubble. More to follow!"

NYC voter only have two choices to choose from to elect the next NYC Mayor, Democrat, Eric Adams or Republican, Curtis Sliwa!!! It is as simple as that...period!!!

Bob Costas once said that the NBA’s social justice messaging was alienating its fans, and Bob Costas is a very smart man. Ratings numbers for the NBA’s Western Conference Finals are coming in and though they’re way up from last year’s pandemic-plagued season, they are way down from 2019.

Major League Baseball (MLB) chose the wokes over their fans when they relocated the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver. And, it appears, the fans are letting their feelings be known. The television ratings for Sunday Night Baseball, MLB’s flagship primetime offering and ESPN’s premier weekend evening broadcast, have sunk 49 percent from last year.
