Cancel culture masquerades as “political correctness,” but it’s just another step from the list of communist objectives that was entered into the Congressional Record in 1963. New York City should be called “Moscow on the Hudson.” New York defunded its police department, decriminalized crimes, let prisoners out of jail, and threw bail out the window for “non-violent” criminals, all of which is out of the pinko playbook and has resulted in a crime wave that has walloped black people more than any other group. So what are Democrats doing to help black people? The last I heard, the Thomas Jefferson...

... In her 2010 book, Dirty Sexy Politics, she described Palin as a 'time bomb' and 'somebody who leaves a wake of confusion and chaos -- to the point of dizziness -- wherever she went. 'Yet McCain said her views on Palin have shifted. 'I have a whole new lens of viewing how Sarah Palin was treated and how the people working for my father's campaign really, you know, in my opinion, treated her really horribly, set her up for failure,' McCain told Hannity.

As the left now offers condolences for the death of Colin Powell it's clarifying to recall what the left was saying about him before he began openly voting Democrat. Back in 2002, when the Bush administration was leading the country, Powell received what today is a common racial epithet the left uses towards minorities on the right. That year, famed calypso singer Harry Belafonte called Powell a “house slave.” During an interview with a San Diego-based radio show, Belafonte slammed Powell as that “slave” who got the privilege of living and working in the master’s house. “There’s an old saying...

Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that MAGA people had “opted out of reality” regarding denial of the January 6 Capitol riot. Melber said, “You have, of course, a schizophrenic defense of January 6. Bannon and these folks are saying it was fine, in essence. Then you’ve got other folks saying maybe it was bad, but it wasn’t caused by Trump MAGA people, which is a type of lie or propaganda that matters.”

Boy oh Boy the Democrats are such a fickle group. After his endorsement of Barack Obama they rushed to embrace Colin Powell. Flaunting the significance of the endorsement.

Thirteen-year-old children in American public schools were not quite as good at math and reading in 2019 and 2020 as they were in 2012. This is despite the fact that American taxpayers invested more money per pupil in the nation's public schools in each of the last two fiscal years than they did in 2012. Bottom line: Increased spending on public education did not pay off. In fiscal 2012, according to the Census Bureau, the United States spent $10,608 per pupil in its public elementary and secondary schools. In fiscal 2020, in the 35 states and the District of Columbia...

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the chairman of the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot at the Capitol, said the public would be shocked at the findings of their probe. Maddow said, “Can I ask you if you feel like thus far you have learned things that surprise you? You have, obviously, you are not ready to report what you found, not ready to tell the country what the results of your investigation are, but as far as it’s gone thus far, have you learned things that surprised you? Have you learned...

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Ky.) said late Tuesday that former White House strategist Steve Bannon’s refusal to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Capitol riot suggests President Trump was "personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6th." "Based on the committee’s investigation, it appears that Mr. Bannon had substantial advance knowledge of the plans for January 6th and likely had an important role in formulating those plans. Mr. Bannon was in the war room at the Willard on January 6th. He also appears to have detailed knowledge regarding the president’s efforts to sell millions of Americans the fraud...

At least five bodies have been discovered during the massive manhunt for fugitive Brian Laundrie, who is the sole person of interest in Gabby Petito’s homicide. While the 23-year-old remains on the lam more than a month after skipping out of his family’s Florida home, the other bodies have been found in areas where authorities have been looking, according to The Sun. “How many bodies are just all willy nilly laying about?!” one person marveled in a Reddit thread, according to the report. “Since starting the hunt for BL there have been what, 5 BODIES?” One of the bodies was...

From Christmas toys to clothing and auto parts, shortages of imported products are forcing factories to idle, store shelves to sit empty and consumers to panic. What else is in short supply? The truth about what's causing this economic crisis. resident Joe Biden, who brags about running "the most pro-union administration in history," won't admit that longshoremen's unions are holding the nation hostage, refusing to allow the use of automated equipment to unload container ships and get the goods onto trucks faster.

The man who allegedly violently raped a woman on a train in the Philadelphia-area, as onlookers watched and did nothing, is an illegal alien who reportedly has a criminal history and was supposed to be deported years ago. ---SNIP--- Ngoy was reportedly never deported because “he received a ‘withholding of removal’ from an immigration judge in March 2019 after the Board of Immigration Appeals found that his misdemeanor sex offense was not a ‘serious crime’ that would have made him ineligible for such a stay.”

Despite being a politician all his life, and never having worked in a blue-collar job, resident Joe Biden declared, "I'm a union man," when he announced his presidential campaign at a Teamsters union hall in Pittsburgh in April 2019. What our president really loves is big government and political power, and there is no more reliable money trough for Democrats than unions.
