Commentary In a recent Washington Post op-ed, three retired generals, Paul Eaton, Antonio Taguba, and Steven Anderson warn of a supposedly impending coup should Donald Trump be elected in 2024. The column seemed strangely timed to coincide with a storm of recent Democratic talking points that a reelected Trump, or even a Republican sweep of the 2022 midterms, would spell a virtual end of democracy. Ironies abound. From Election Day in 2020 to Inauguration Day 2021, we were told by the left that democracy was resilient and rightly rid the nation of Trump. The hard left, for one of the...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Thursday blasted the Biden administration for withholding lifesaving coronavirus treatment from those who need it, deeming it “unconscionable.” On Tuesday, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo sent a pointed letter to Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra, questioning the Biden administration’s decision to withhold lifesaving coronavirus treatment from states such as Florida. In recent months, the DeSantis administration has blitzed the state with monoclonal antibody treatments, only to have the Biden administration slash the supply to the state, originally attributing the decision to its newfound priority of “equitable distribution.” According to Ladapo, “the lack...

As usual, the liberal-biased, fake news, mainstream media are lying and misrepresenting again.It was only days ago that I published my nationally syndicated (by Creators Syndicate) newspaper column titled, "Celebrate the Trump Christmas Miracle." In that column, I celebrated the greatest political comeback perhaps in history. Trump is back, winning in the polls, beating President Joe Biden. He's more popular and respected than Biden (or the pope) in polls. A majority of voters even agrees there was massive fraud in the 2020 election – including 41% of Democrats.Trump has truly made both a political and financial comeback for the ages.The...

Consider U.S. farmers happy. They are exporting record volumes of products to China. Shipments of soybeans, corn and pork are bringing smiles back to the American heartland. Or, to put this another way, Beijing is effectively acknowledging it cannot feed the Chinese people. China's leader, Xi Jinping, recently made such an admission. Last August, he announced what became known as the "clean your plate" campaign to end what he called a "shocking and distressing" waste of food. Just about everyone saw this effort, to get the Chinese people to eat less, as a warning of food shortages to come. Chinese...

At least 20 states are beginning the new year by increasing their minimum wages, while Puerto Rico and several cities and counties are also bumping up pay for workers in 2022. A total of 26 states will have minimum wage increases go into effect in 2022, with wage hikes beginning in 22 states on Jan. 1, according to Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S., a company providing information on finance, regulatory compliance and the law. A wage increase in New York state began a day earli

In today’s polarized political climate, Americans nervously anticipate U.S. Supreme Court rulings with the same fervor with which they enjoy sports, and with the same goal in mind: namely, to win. But American government is not a game, cautions United States Court of Appeals Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton. By forcing the Supreme Court to make notably divisive, winner-take-all decisions, he argues, we run the risk of politicizing the “crown jewel of American government.” No one at the American founding took the view that the U.S. Supreme Court should resolve the most difficult issues in American government or be the key...

some questions you ask because you want the right answer. Others are valuable because no answer is right; the payoff comes from the range of attempts. Seven years ago, The Atlantic surveyed a group of eminent historians to create a ranked list of the 100 people who had done the most to shape the character of modern America. The panelists agreed easily on the top few names—Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, in that order—but then began diverging in intriguing ways that reflected not simply their own values but also the varied avenues toward influence in our country. Lewis and Clark, or Henry...

The cruise industry is sailing on for now despite travel warnings from health officials. But it hasn’t been smooth sailing, and plenty of hurdles remain. As of Saturday afternoon, there were no reports of any cruise voyage cancellations, Patrick Scholes, a travel and leisure analyst at Truist Securities, points out that the CDC’s action comes at an especially bad time for the cruise operators. Woronka says that enthusiasm for cruising remains strong among travelers. The largest bucket of cruise customers, he says, “are going to go” on sailings. “The market is saying that these disruptions are not going to cripple...

The group has been stuck since Friday around 10 p.m. because of icy conditions in the area, officials told KOAT. One person is still stranded in the tram car along with rescue personnel. Rescue efforts were temporarily halted at 1 p.m. Saturday because of changing weather conditions. In 1973, 41 people were stuck for 24 hours. In 1982, 49 people were stuck for five hours. Thirty years later, in 2012, 20 people were stuck for five hours and then last year 20 people were stuck for four hours.

REASON: The data has been corrupted from the beginning because of counting sickenesses, hospitalizations, and deaths WITH Covid and those FROM Covid. Anthony Fauci, Dec. 31. 2021, admitted conflating such data on MSNBC: But the other important thing is that if you look at the children who are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as opposed to or because of COVID. And what we mean by that—if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically get tested for COVID. And they get counted as a COVID-hospitalized individual. When in fact, they may go in for a broken leg...

Ran Israeli (@RanIsraeli): "Currently (29/12/2021), we have here in Israel: 1849 Flu hospitalized patients (605 kids and 124 Pregnant/Giving birth women) 169 COVID-19 patients (7 kids and 10 Pregnant/Giving birth women) Flu hospitalizations are ~11X times higher! ~86X for the kids! This is utterly insane." | nitter (1d4.us)

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is a classic globalist organization. On their official website, there’s an interactive web application called ‘COVID-19 transformation map’. This map is extremely detailed, having a say on all far-going aspects of the pandemic response. It must have taken years to create this plan. The map talks about 5G, digital identity (ID2020), digital currency, AI, cybersecurity, vaccination, policies and legislation, population control… I’d argue that subjects like 5G and digital currency should not be a matter of concern while dealing with a pandemic. This tool shows clearly the real agendas the globalists want to implement...

(CNSNews.com) – The Kremlin has reiterated that it regards the further expansion of NATO into former Soviet countries as a “life and death” matter, but Moscow is also making clear that it objects to Sweden and Finland, nations that were not part of the USSR, joining the alliance. Ahead of talks with the West next month, which Russia hopes will result in a halt to additional NATO enlargement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Russia 1 television network on Sunday that the prospect of Ukraine, Georgia, or Moldova being admitted into NATO was a question of “life and death for...

NEW YORK, NY—After a long and fruitless search for a conservative host willing to subject herself to daily appearances on The View, producers have announced that in lieu of a conservative host, they will instead bring on an elephant piñata they can hit with sticks throughout the entire show. According to sources, the other hosts are elated at the change. "Republicans are Nazis!" said Joy Behar in the latest taping as she viciously struck the piñata with a long stick. "What do you think about that Mr. GOP Elephant? Oh, that's right—I forgot you can't talk. Because you're a dumb...

On Oct. 4, 2020, with Prof. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University, we wrote the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD). Our purpose was to express our grave concerns over the inadequate protection of the vulnerable and the devastating harms of the lockdown pandemic policy adopted by much of the world; We proposed an alternative strategy of focused protection. The key scientific fact on which the GBD was based—a more than thousand-fold higher risk of death for the old compared to the young—meant that better protection of the old would minimize COVID deaths. At the same time, opening schools and lifting lockdowns would...

The chairs of the two GOP congressional reelection committees sound very confident that Republicans will win back majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate in the 2022 midterms. "We’re going to take back the Senate, absolutely," Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, vowed in an interview with Fox News two months ago. And National Republican Congressional Committee chair Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota told Fox News a couple months ago, "Mark my words: Republicans will enter the 118th Congress with a majority and a record-breaking class of diverse members."

In a ruling against vaccine and mask mandates for Head Start programs implemented by the Biden administration, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called it a “win for the children of Texas.”The ruling from Judge James “Wesley” Hendrix of the U.S. Court for the Northern District of Texas orders the COVID-19 protocol conditions for the funding of Head Start programs to be halted.The new rules issued last month require children over 2 in Head Start programs to wear masks, while the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is mandating that all staff, contractors, and volunteers be vaccinated by the end...

More than 50 of the 500 or so bills that the Nevada Legislature passed in 2021 will go into effect today, including a bill that calls for mail-in voting in every election and establishes verification procedures for the mail-in ballots. It also extends the amount of time a person has to register to vote online through the day of the election, instead of on the Thursday before. The bill, which passed through the Democratic-controlled Senate on a 12-9 vote in May, locks in changes to enhance accessibility to elections brought on by the pandemic and implemented after a special session...
