"A spurious concept designed to inhibit criticism of jihad terror could soon be funded by your tax dollars. Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) and Jan Schakowsky (D-Lightfootland) have determined to take action against “Islamophobia,” and their initiative is gaining traction. The House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday approved their bill calling for a State Department “Islamophobia monitor,” and now it will go to the full House for further consideration. The idea that Pelosi’s House would reject such a bill is virtually inconceivable. ..."

Vice President Kamala Harris addressed both her growing army of critics and sinking approval ratings in an interview published Sunday by citing the burdens of high office, claiming “there is nothing about this job that is supposed to be easy.” The San Francisco Chronicle aired the vice president’s observations from an exchange conducted last week. In the report Harris chose to simply ignore her many failures since achieving office while carping that her critics simply do not understand the difficulties involved in discharging her duties. “There is nothing about this job that is supposed to be easy,” Harris pleaded. “If...

This week a Wisconsin Committee on Campaigns and Elections hearing revealed that the November 2020 general elections saw over 100,000 ballots cast by persons who have been registered to vote for more than 100 years. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) cited this as evidence for passing the "For the People Act." "Not every state has been as diligent as Wisconsin in protecting the right to vote," she pointed out. "Many states impose onerous conditions requiring voters to show photo IDs, limiting voting to one ballot per person and to the few months surrounding the official election day, insisting that...

Unsurprisingly, these same media elites are desperately afraid of President Donald Trump. And they appear even more afraid than they were when they relentlessly defamed Trump and tried to run him out of office with a hoax collusion conspiracy and a tempest in a teapot over a routine phone call. A Trump return to the White House on January 20, 2025, would represent a massive repudiation of those who have arrogated to themselves the authority to tell us what to think.

Illustration of the double pulsar PSR J0737−3039A/B. (Michael Kramer/MPIfRA) Two pulsars locked in close binary orbit have once again validated predictions made by Einstein's theory of general relativity. Over 16 years, an international team of astronomers has observed the pulsar pair, named PSR J0737−3039A/B, finding that the relativistic effects can be measured in the timing of their pulses – just as predicted and expected. This is the first time these effects have been observed. "We studied a system of compact stars that is an unrivalled laboratory to test gravity theories in the presence of very strong gravitational fields," says astronomer...

Vice President Kamala Harris in recent days has reset her White House office with civil rights era art, new couches, and wall paint. Upon reports of tremendous infighting among staffers and claims the vice president is an abusive boss, Harris has put time into overhauling her office with new decorations that speak to a fresh start.

The abrupt disappearance of a live feed showing Taiwan’s digital minister occurred because the White House panicked over a map showing Taiwan in a different color than China, Reuters claimed on Monday. Audrey Tang, formally a “minister without portfolio” in the Taiwanese government, was speaking during President Joe Biden’s “Summit for Democracy,” a series of video addresses from some of the world’s states. Biden included the island nation of Taiwan despite the fact that the American government does not recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty as doing so would immediately sever all diplomatic ties with communist China. Taiwan is a free, democratic sovereign...

Is Lois Lerner in charge of determining which politicians to audit at the IRS?That’s a relevant question from a recent Washington Post article looking into Joe Biden’s taxes. The Post received confirmation that the Internal Revenue Service declined to audit Biden’s returns from the years before he became president. But separate reporting confirmed that the IRS did audit Donald Trump’s returns from the years before he became president.This raises an obvious question: Why the disparity?This important question comes as Democrats want to give the IRS $80 billion in new funding over a decade, along with new enforcement authority—including to obtain...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will run for reelection, hoping to extend her time in the House past the midterms next year, according to a report from CNN. Pelosi is planning to file for reelection in the San Francisco-based district next year, CNN reported. However, Pelosi still has months before the filing deadline in California for House races, as the state’s filing deadline is March 11 for the primary set on June 7.

"Virginia Lieutenant Governor-elect Winsome Sears shares her inspiration for pursuing public service and her vision for Virginia."

We haven’t seen or heard much from Kamala Harris in a while. Which is strange, given that she’s, you know, the Vice President of the United States. There’ve been rumblings that all is not well on Team Joe Biden and that the president may be considering replacing Harris with someone else. Plus, she seems to be having some trouble holding onto her staff. Conservatives have been having a field day with the “Where’s Kamala?” talk, but maybe there’s a perfectly simple explanation for her scarcity. And Katie Pavlich may have just figured it out: Oh, so that's what she's been...

"New Zealand’s prime minister has given some Kiwis an early Christmas present as she announced that newly relaxed Covid-19 restrictions, based on a ‘traffic light system’, allow for orgies of up to 25 people. Speaking in an interview with New Zealand’s Seven Sharp on Friday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that the traffic light system, which is being implemented as the country reopens from strict Covid-19 measures, would allow for the most intimate of gatherings. ..."

MADISON, Wis. – A Madison school board candidate who described herself as “trans-a-phobic” last week has dropped out of the race. Mary Jo Walters announced she would withdraw her campaign for Seat 3 in a Facebook post Friday. “I am opting out of the run for many personal reasons,” Walters said. “I’d like to thank all that engaged in these discussions.” She now plans to start a book club. Walters drew criticism after posting transphobic comments on social media. In an interview Monday, she called herself gender critical. The former candidate for lieutenant governor wanted to reverse the district’s decision...

"A young Swedish rape victim has been slapped with a hate crime after he responded to his victimizers mocking him in the courtroom with an illegal Nazi salute. Kenny Friberg, aged 21, has been convicted for incitement against an ethnic group after he responded to his foreign victimizers mocking him in the courtroom by standing up and giving the “Sieg Heil” salute, a widely reviled gesture that has been banned throughout much of Europe, Swedish news outlet Fria Tider reports. The incident took place earlier this month in a Malmö courtroom, during the trial of those who are accused of...

Lyin’ Lizzie Warren sent out a set of letters berating major U.S. oil and gas producers for restraining production, increasing exports and “putting their massive profits, share prices and dividends for investors, and millions of dollars in CEO pay and bonuses” ahead of Americans. According to Warren, “These record-setting natural gas exports are leading to higher prices for consumers, and they show no signs of a slowdown.” I am quoting from excerpts pulled from the letter in the Wall Street Journal editorial “Stupid inflation tricks, round 2.” Warren bragged about her doings in a press release that she posted here...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday endorsed former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez in his bid for Maryland governor, calling him the candidate with “the best opportunity to flip the state” blue in 2022. “Maryland has an opportunity to flip from red to blue and the most qualified person to do just that is my friend Tom Perez,” Pelosi said in a video announcing the endorsement. “Please join me in supporting him as our next governor of Maryland.” In the video, Pelosi touted Perez’s work on voting and civil rights issues during his time leading the Justice...
