Former President George W. Bush contributed to Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s (R-Alaska) reelection campaigns at the end of 2021, according to campaign finance reports filed Monday, backing up two of the most prominent Republicans who supported impeaching Donald Trump a year ago. Bush donated a maximum individual contribution of $5,800 to Cheney last October. It was a small but notable piece of her total haul of $1.9 million in the last quarter of 2021, which swelled her campaign account to more than $4.7 million cash on hand. Bush had previously donated to Cheney in 2016, according...

Last week, thousands of families are raising awareness about K-12 education options forNational School Choice Week. As Republicans, we stand with them. We believe parents are best equipped to understand their child’s learning needs and that every student deserves the chance to thrive academically. Unfortunately, Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t agree. As a candidate, Biden promised that charter schools would be “gone” if he were elected president. And now that he’s in office, Biden’s administration is working against parents and students. Biden’s position is radically out of step with the millions of American families who have benefitted from some...

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was ripped Sunday after promoting an open-source newsletter platform that offers “freedom” to independent writers. Dorsey tweeted Saturday of the open-source newsletter website Ghost as an alternative to Substack, a popular newsletter service used by a number of prominent journalists including former New York Times writers Andrew Sullivan and Bari Weiss, and Pulitzer Prize winner Glenn Greenwald. “For those of you on substack: why not use @ghost instead?” Dorsey tweeted. “Is the payment you get from substack inc. greater than the freedom ghost would provide? ”Dorsey’s comments came a few days after Substack Vice President...

Since 1916 and the First World War, United States foreign policy has been dominated by Eurocentrism. Following the Second World War, America has been the military protector of Western Europe for 73 years through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO. Now the time has come to disband NATO and tell the countries of Europe, in particular Germany, that they are on their own, as this nation must focus on its ever-growing domestic problems and the global threat of Communist China. The United States should have begun the process of severing military commitments with Europe after the collapse of the...

Whoopi Goldberg (born Caryn Johnson and most decidedly not Jewish), de-Judaized the Holocaust, a strikingly antisemitic act. After a deserved uproar, she apologized but that’s not good enough. Just as Sharon Osborne and Roseanne Barr got fired for offending racial shibboleths, Goldberg needs to go. Goldberg a staple on The View, a show in which several inane left-wing women loudly opine about the issues of the day, dismissed the Holocaust as a uniquely Jewish event and, essentially said that a lot of people died during World War II, so the Jews shouldn’t make it all about themselves. And by saying...

On Sunday, January 23, there was a march and rally in Washington, D.C.: "Defeat the Mandates: An America Homecoming." On Monday, January 24, Senator Ron Johnson hosted a panel discussion where about a dozen of these same doctors shared their personal testimonies. These are not doctors just plucked off the street, but professionals from all over the country who are tops in their particular field. One doctor is the CEO of a medical organization with over 17,000 medical and scientific members. The mainline media called their narratives a "false narrative." Listen to what these doctors had to say. "Let doctors...

@MaajidNawaz As England begins ditching unscientific, illogical, & discriminatory vaccine MANDATES, Western Australia’s psychopath @MarkMcGowanMP BANS UNVACCINATED PARENTS from seeing their SICK CHILDREN IN HOSPITAL from Jan 31. See how media pundits salivate in glee... @MaajidNawaz This level of injustice DEMANDS a historically memorable correction. Justice must not only be delivered & perceived to be, but it must also be so decisive that it’s taught for generations as an example of the Banality of Evil at work, serving as deterrent to preserve our future.

Five college students speak out: We’re fed up with campus ‘wokeness’ In recent years, college campuses have become increasingly radical, illiberal, and intolerant of dissenting opinions. Students, too scared to voice their true thoughts and feelings, often conform. They fear they will face ridicule or, worse, total exclusion via “cancel culture.” But a few brave students are fighting against the tide, including these five, who all come from different backgrounds but are united in their desire for a true liberal arts education, where all ideas are shared and respected. They told The Post why they refuse to be silenced.

"And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore,...

The overarching goal of Freedom Convoy 2022 was for the federal government to declare the immediate lifting of all COVID-19 mandates across Canada. It was, at root, a politically unrealistic demand, given that most mandates are imposed at the provincial level. But there is nevertheless a growing chorus of politicians and health experts now saying that it’s time for Canada to officially abandon extraordinary COVID-19 measures and “learn to live with” the virus. “We have let our lives be controlled for the last two years in a significant amount of fear and now we are going to have to change...

His own track record isn’t spotless. In 1985, as AIDS was overwhelming American gay communities, Young used a homophobic slur in an interview and said of gays and the virus, “You go to a supermarket and you see a f— behind the f— cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes.”

“The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion” (Proverbs 1:1-4).

During the armed militant takeover of the Seattle Police Department's East Precinct following the death of George Floyd to form the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in 2020, Seattle officials drafted legislation to transfer the East Precinct to a local Black Lives Matter activist group, according to documents recently obtained by The Seattle Times. Three memos and a draft resolution about transferring the East Precinct were sent to former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan from Calvin Goings, the director of the city's Department of Finance and Administrative Services (FAS), in an email on June 8, 2020—the same day SPD evacuated the precinct,...

Japan's parliament on Tuesday adopted a resolution on the "serious human rights situation" in China, and called Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's government to take steps to relieve the situation, as the Beijing Winter Olympics loom just days ahead. Japan has already announced it will not send a government delegation to the Games, following a U.S.-led diplomatic boycott over concerns about China's human rights condition, although Tokyo avoided explicitly labelling its move as such. Since taking office in October, Kishida has said on multiple occasions that Japan would not mince words with China when necessary, and in November appointed former defence...
