Multiple House Democrats who are frequent top targets of the far right face the prospect of losing their committee assignments if Republicans win back the chamber next year. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has threatened to retaliate after Democrats stripped GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) of committee seats this Congress, warning that some liberal lawmakers “will need the approval of a majority to keep those positions in the future.” None of the Democrats singled out by McCarthy as examples of who could be removed from House committees have embraced conspiracy theories or promoted violence...

In the early 1930s, the economy was in the midst of a very severe recession. At the time, the general belief was that no government corrective action was necessary since the economy would, if left alone, eventually self-correct. As a result, there was no expansionary action taken on either a monetary or fiscal policy basis. The severe recession got more severe and eventually resulted in the Great Depression. During the mid-1930s, British economist John Keynes said the Depression could be ended by taking action to increase total demand in the economy. That could be accomplished either by cutting taxes for...

At long last, President Joe Biden has undergone a thorough physical exam, and the detailed White House report ought to end the frequent insinuations from some critics that the nation’s oldest president is not up to the job. But it probably won’t, given that he does show some signs of his age. “President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 78-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency, to include those as chief executive, head of state and commander in chief,” concluded Kevin O’Connor, who has been his primary care physician for 13 years. The report didn’t...

What the left calls "White supremacy" today is such a sick joke that it deserves nothing but ridicule and contempt. The left lost control of their narrative of the "White supremacist" "active shooter" "murderer" Kyle Rittenhouse in the face of overwhelming factual evidence of self-defense. So leftists did what they do best (or worst): double down. Racism! White supremacy! No justice, no peace! The right's reaction to the left's reaction to the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict ranges from ridicule to confusion. How can the left and MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times — but I repeat myself — claim anti-black...

This is Kary Mullis, quite a number of years ago, judging by his age when he died in August, 2019 -- he was much older than he is in this video. Kary Mullis INVENTED the PCR technology that is currently FRAUDULENTLY being used to diagnose all these "cases" of COVID-19. Mullis always said the PCR technology is a RESEARCH TOOL, and should NEVER be used to diagnose any disease in a human.He worked with and for Dr. Tony Fauci and knew quite well what he was -- and what he was NOT.How convenient that Kary Mullis died in September of...

I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here. But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is changing for the worse. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, no matter how much I pray, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going...

During a rendezvous at the United Nations General Assembly, the Iranian regime's foreign minister lodged a formal complaint with his Swedish counterpart about the trial of Hamid Noury, a former Iranian official, in Stockholm. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told Sweden's Ann Linde that all the documents provided to the court are "fabricated." A month prior, a spokesman for the regime's Foreign Ministry had warned, "We will naturally use all our diplomatic means to obtain and enforce Hamid Noury's rights." Who is Hamid Noury, and why is the regime clearly terrified of his trial in Sweden? Hamid Noury was a low-ranking official in...

House Democrats acknowledge they weren't very effective at selling their $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief plan to the general public. Now, they're hoping to improve on those mistakes with their mammoth climate and social spending package. While President Biden's Build Back Better Act still has a tough road in the Senate, House Democrats have already begun holding a series of roundtable discussions, site visits, in-person and virtual town halls and news conferences across the country highlighting individual pieces of the roughly $2 trillion package. The idea is to break it up into smaller bite-size chunks - things like child care, climate...

Author’s Note: Interested readers can find all previous volumes of this series here.

Now back to our regular programming.Thanks for joining our study. Today we will learn about Joshua, who succeeded Moses as the leader of the ancient Israelites and led them into the Promised Land. The Lord anointed Joshua after he showed extraordinary faith when the Israelites were rebelling against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites were distraught after hearing what awaited them when...

They’re now trying to shut down everything again and make the world safe again for private jet-flying elites to escape from voters. This time they claim there’s a super-spreading, super-scary new variant of the Wuhan (pardon me, COVID-19) virus from Africa. As far as I’m able to discover there is no test for it, it has actually been around since July and it doesn’t seem particularly fatal. So far it has produced only mild cases. But the taste of totalitarian control has only whetted the desire for more, with the thought of destroying those “deplorable” productive citizens of the middle...

President Joe Biden was caught disobeying an indoor mask mandate this weekend in Nantucket just hours after being 'fully briefed' on the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus and banning travel from eight African countries. The president, who has been staying on the island with his family this Thanksgiving weekend, was spotted inside Murray's Toggery Shop with his mask around his neck and not covering his mouth. A large 'Face Covering Required' sign could be seen on the front door of the shop. The island brought back its indoor mask mandates earlier this month at a town meeting on November...

Muhammad Ali said, "It ain't bragging if you can back it up." So, excuse me for bragging, but in my almost six years as a nationally syndicated radio and TV host, my predictions have been remarkably accurate. I'm not perfect, but I'm batting close to .990. It's the best record of anyone in the media. Almost everything I've predicted has come true, including a stolen election based on mail-in voting without voter ID; a communist takeover of the USA based on lockdowns, COVID-19 "public safety" mandates and open borders; and President Joe Biden being a brain-dead puppet with dementia. I...

There is nothing worse than a progressive. That’s it, no qualifiers necessary; that not only sums it up, it’s the whole thing. How else to explain their actions? Without suffering a closed-head injury, being bad people is the only other way to explain how the left acts. Rude? Can the truth be rude? Where to start with something like this? The choices are too plentiful. Could it be the Black Lives Matter leadership tweeting out “You are eating dry turkey and overcooked stuffing on stolen land” on Thanksgiving Day? First off, you’re eating dry turkey that’s your fault. Not drying...

Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial is scheduled to start in earnest in federal court in Manhattan on Monday with opening statements about the eagerly awaited case. The first arguments will set the stage for a six-week trial in which the British socialite’s alleged involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes will be aired in grueling detail, outlining how prosecutors and defense attorneys will approach the proceedings. Maxwell, 59, stands accused of recruiting and grooming girls for the late disgraced financier, from 1994 to 2004, some of whom were just 14 years old. Epstein’s sometime girlfriend is also accused of participating in his sexual...

The Waukesha incident has once again (and again, and again, and…) raised the specter of societal disintegration from the Defund the Police and Criminal Justice Reform movements. While bail is admittedly set too high in some cases, the outrageous and unthinking application of “cash bail is bad” is a slow-motion bomb going off. Double and triple-digit increases in violent crime in Democrat-run cities employing such policies are creating outrage among the law-abiding. Why should their grandparents and children suffer when such fools run the asylum? The suspect in the Waukesha parade massacre was a career criminal. Darrell Brooks’s criminal background...

In hindsight, all those photoshopped images of Donald Trump as Rocky Balboa that were ubiquitous across the globe while he was in office should have been understood as obvious foreshadowing. Of course Trump's journey in politics was always going to take a measure of the man and put meat onto the bones of one of Rocky's most memorable philosophical exhortations: The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place. ... It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is going to hit...
