The little dictators are all around us these days. The little dictators are all around us these days. I watched a short video of “protestors” in Bisbee, Arizona imposing their political ugliness upon the wedding of a young woman because Senator Kristen Sinema was officiating at the ceremony. It was brutal. The mother of the bride, in tears, begs the crowd to be quiet for just an hour. In response a woman says, “Will you tell her (Sinema) that she is a sellout, tell her that we don’t like what she’s doing to our country!” As this ogre reaches the...

Wokeness was the biggest loser. Both New Jersey and Virginia have been strong Democrat bastions for quite some time. Republican presidential candidates usually do not even bother to waste their time and money campaigning in these states. Republican candidates enter any electoral race in these states with the knowledge that defeat is almost inevitable. Last year, Joe Biden won both these states in a landslide. However, the tables have turned and rather drastically now. Republican Glenn Youngkin has triumphed over former Governor Terry McAuliffe in Virginia while Republican Jack Ciatterelli is in a very close contest with New Jersey Gov....

Hours after several election experts projected Republican Glenn Youngkin the winner in Virginia’s governor race, Fox News came in dead last, as the establishment media complex (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NYT, and Politico) called the race in Youngkin’s favor.

Winsome Sears will become Virginia lieutenant governor, CNN projects, becoming first female and woman of color in the office Winsome Sears, a conservative Republican, will be Virginia's next lieutenant governor, breaking barriers as the first female and the first woman of color in the office in the commonwealth's 400-year legislative history. CNN projected Sears' win over Democrat Del. Hala Ayala, also a woman of color, on Wednesday. Sears will serve alongside Republican Glenn Youngkin, whom CNN projected would win the Virginia gubernatorial race. Sears, who was born in Jamaica, is the first Black Republican woman to be elected to the...

Republicans appeared to be on the verge of ending Democratic control of Virginia’s House of Delegates in Tuesday’s elections. With a few races still too close to call early Wednesday morning, the party appeared headed for at least a 50-50 tie with Democrats in the chamber, if not a narrow majority.

A British leftist group calling itself the Center for Countering Digital Hate has issued a report on what it calls the "Toxic Ten," which are so-called fringe websites spreading "climate change denial." The ten include our group, the Media Research Center, as well as Breitbart, The Daily Wire, Townhall Media, Newsmax, The Washington Times and The Western Journal. So, any challenge to Greenpeace climate-crackdown orthodoxy is now classified as "toxic" and "digital hate." Their solution? To press Facebook and Google to "stop monetizing" these conservative sites, stop allowing them to buy ads and to "comprehensively label" their climate reporting as...

There's been a lot of attention paid to resident Joe Biden's falling job approval rating. And it is indeed going down, down, down. But along with confidence in the president, the public is also losing faith in the Democratic Party's ability to handle the issues that most concern voters today. It's been a long fall for both Biden and his party since they narrowly won control in Washington one year ago this week. A new NBC News poll has Biden's job approval rating at 42% among all adults, with a disapproval rating of 54%. That's 12 points underwater, and it...

The Republican Party — populated with cranks, crooks, clowns, bigots and deranged conspiracy theorists — has spent five years alienating women, minorities and young voters. The party — and its entire leadership from the grassroots to Congress — remains in thrall to a disgraced, defeated, one-term president, who is reduced to issuing increasingly crazed screeds from his exile in Mar-a-Lago. Every day we learn more about Republican complicity in the events of Jan. 6 and their attempts to whitewash an attempted coup. The GOP is the party of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz and Louie Gohmert. Sane Republicans...

The three Republican candidates for the 11th legislative district – Lori Annetta, Kim Eulner, and Marilyn Piperno – currently lead their Democratic incumbent opponents in what may shape up to be another upset victory for Republicans. Annetta narrowly leads State Sen. Vin Gopal (D-Long Branch), while Eulner and Piperno have more substantial advantages over Assemblywoman Joann Downey (D-Freehold) and Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling (D-Neptune). The outcome in all three races will likely depend on outstanding ballots that have yet to be counted. All three Democrats were first elected to the legislature by defeating Republican incumbents. Downey and Houghtaling surprisingly beat Assemblywoman...

Republican candidates swept the Nassau and Suffolk district attorney races on Tuesday. In Nassau, Republican Anne Donnelly, a longtime county prosecutor, declared victory against Democratic State Sen. Todd Kaminsky in their campaign for an open seat. In Suffolk, Democratic incumbent Timothy Sini conceded to former federal prosecutor Ray Tierney, who ran on the Republican and Conservative party lines.

We're out of Afghanistan. Good. We should have gotten out before. Our involvement there was America's longest war, longer than the Civil War, World War I and World War II combined. We accomplished little good and plenty of bad. Tens of thousands killed. A trillion dollars spent. Now the Taliban wear American uniforms and fly American planes. Hawks say, "If we just stayed a little longer ... " It's not true. Yes, there had been a drop in violence in Afghanistan. But that did not mean we were winning. The Taliban were just waiting because former President Donald Trump announced...

Republicans appeared headed to a resounding victory in the Suffolk County Legislature early Wednesday, tossing out top Democratic leaders and taking control of the 18-seat body. The GOP was on its way to flipping at least four seats, and ejecting the presiding officer and the Democratic majority leader, according to election results about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. The deputy presiding officer, another Democrat, was fighting a close race to hang on to her seat. Democrats Sarah Anker, Rob Calarco, Susan Berland and Mark Cutherbertson appeared to have lost their bids, according to the results, which included most or all districts reporting....

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern chose to shut down a press conference on Monday rather than answer serious questions from an independent reporter outside of what she called the “accredited media.” Video...

The New Jersey Globe is retracting its call of the 3rd legislative district in favor of Democrats; in a major surprise, all three incumbent Democrats stand a significant chance of losing to their unheralded Republican foes. Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) trails Republican Ed Durr, while Assemblyman John Burzichelli (D-Paulsboro) and Assemblyman Adam Taliaferro (D-Woolwich) are currently losing to Bethanne McCarthy-Patrick and Beth Sawyer. If Sweeney in particular does indeed lose, it would constitute a political earthquake in the New Jersey legislature. Holding the Senate Presidency since 2010, Sweeney is the longest-serving legislative leader in state history, and seemed...

I thought I’d dig around a bit in “H.R. 3684—Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,” the not very bipartisan infrastructure bill. Everyone’s talking about how the other bill for building back better will be funded, at the perhaps current price tag of $1.75 trillion. I haven’t seen much, though, about how this $1 trillion bill will affect the deficit. At 2,740 pages, it’s a big bill, designed to “authorize funds for Federal-aid highways, highway safety programs, and transit programs, and for other purposes.” As far as I’ve been able to tell, only a little more than $381 billion will address highways...

The Democrat New Jersey State Senate President is in serious danger of losing to Republican truck driver and grandfather Ed Durr — who spent less than $200 on his campaign. Senate President Steve Sweeney broke records in 2017 for the nation’s most expensive campaign ever in a single legislative district while also wiping out several state records, according to a report from Insider New Jersey. The New Jersey Globe had originally called the race for Senate President Sweeney, but had to issue a retraction shortly after 1 a.m., explaining “this race call was retracted at 1:11 a.m., after it became...

hina's senior climate negotiator said Tuesday his nation has good reason for being the world's biggest fossil-fuel emitter of pollution, according to the Associated Press. Speaking to reporters at the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, Xie Zhenhua explained why China is so reliant on fossil fuels and also criticized former President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate accord... ... Xie discussed China's efforts to address climate change. "Regarding the fact that China is the current largest emitter, it's because China is at a special development stage," he said...

When COVID-braving Dennis Prager said he contracted it purposely in order “to be taken care of by therapeutics,” the public outcry was more life-threatening than the virus. He must be made to pay for any treatment he gets. He should be denied a hospital bed. Another conservative talk show host spreads his disease. Every story speaks of a mini plague and every ending is a blameworthy death. Is fear driving the paranoia? What’s to hate in one who makes a choice and takes the consequences, and is content to let others do so? And why is it doctors who seem...
