A new poll found that Washington, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser's move to drop the district's vaccine mandate earlier this week was not a popular one, with less than a quarter of respondents saying they do not favor the mandates. The poll, conducted by The Washington Post, discovered that 74 percent of D.C. residents supported the rule mandating that businesses such as restaurants, bars and concert venues require their customers to show proof of vaccination before entering. This, compared to just 24 percent who said they opposed the mandate and two percent saying they were unsure. And 63 percent of residents...

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said on Tuesday that he doesn't support President Biden's pick to fill a district court vacancy in his home state, likely dooming the nomination absent a shift by Democrats. Johnson said that he would oppose William Pocan, who was nominated by Biden to be a district judge in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. It marks the first time during the Biden administration a senator has not returned a blue slip — a piece of paper that indicates if a home-state senator supports a nominee — for a district court nominee. "Since Judge Pocan’s nomination, I have...

Barely a year into the Democrats’ experiment of installing the hapless Joe Biden as president, crises inevitably unfold. Nobody believes that Biden can put out the fires that are being lit around the world. Foreign leaders may perceive the next three years as an opportunity to get away with mischief that would never occur under the strong leadership of President Trump. “Politics abhors a vacuum” is the cliche that accurately describes how bad things happen when there is a void in leadership as there is now. In our large northern neighbor of Canada, a 21st-century version of martial law was...

Patricians vs. Plebeians: The Realignment When I was a kid — and the same with my parents when they were young — you could count on certain fundamentals in politics. The Chamber of Commerce represented business, and business generally favored free enterprise. Not always, but mostly. Small businesses could become big and big could become small, but they generally opposed socialism, big government, regulation, and high taxes. For this reason, they generally supported the Republican Party. It was also a time of class malleability, with people moving in and out and up and down. There were always gaps between rich,...

After reading this article here at FR: BlackRock Investment’s CEO is forcing wokism on American corporations I looked at my 401K and other retirement funds. I knew I held some Black Rock (my retirement account is managed by a private investment company), but did not know, off the top of my head how much. know one should not sell low, but reinvesting now will be buying low, so it will be a wash.It was not that much and in three different BlackRock funds. I had them all sold and reinvested.

This week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the lightweight, unpopular elected leader of a country with a 93% vaccination rate for those over 60 and a total vaccination rate of 84%, announced that he would invoke the Emergencies Act in order to crack down on the Freedom Convoy -- a group of protesters opposed to government vaccination mandates for truckers. Trudeau breathily announced that invocation of the law was in fact "reasonable and proportionate." His public safety minister, Marco Mendicino, said that the actions were required thanks to "intimidation, harassment, and expressions of hate." Why the government would need to...

The Price of a Permanent EmergencyGovernments across the globe have taken extreme measures over the past two years to combat COVID-19. The rationale is always the same: This is an emergency. But do governments understand the implications of this claim? A perpetual state of crisis cannot be a stable basis for civil government. Politicians who continually appeal to this justification may soon find they have unleashed forces beyond their control. It is hard to live in a state of emergency for two years or more, especially when it affects everything from the air in front of your face to your...

RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — UNR students and some faculty walked out Monday to protest the end of the Nevada mask mandate. About 50 students marched from the north end of campus down to the quad, calling on President Brian Sandoval to reinstate the mask requirement on campus.

resident Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed the U.S. economy is in good shape, even arguing that it is “stronger than before the pandemic.” However, Americans are not experiencing the "strong" economy Biden describes. Instead, inflation is running rampant and increasing prices for American families and small businesses across the country. In January, the consumer price index increased by 7.5 percent on an annualized basis, a 40-year high. This marks a sharp increase from January 2021, before Joe Biden took over the presidency, when annual inflation was at a stable 1.4 percent. In 2021, the average U.S. household spent $3,500 more...

VIDEOThe very ironically named Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland issued a decree that the bank accounts of citizens can be frozen WITHOUT A COURT ORDER. That means the government will be operating outside the law. No Free Land because of Freeland... and her Son of Fidel enabler.

New York women are feeling “unsafe” in the wake of Christina Yuna Lee’s brutal stabbing death Sunday — prompting a rush to buy pepper spray across the Big Apple, business owners said. “Manhattan used to be an oasis, now I’m looking over my shoulder to make sure I’m not being followed,” Elise Hsu, a 34-year-old real estate agent who lives in Chinatown, told The Post Tuesday. “This is every woman’s nightmare. I spend my time thinking will I be harassed? Raped? Murdered in my own home?” she continued. *** The Post spoke with nearly a dozen women Tuesday who said...

Despite plummeting approval ratings, the Biden administration is continuing its war against America’s borders and sovereignty. That war reached a fever pitch recently as videos surfaced across the internet of illegal aliens being released by government authorities into the U.S. Video broadcast by Fox News late last month showed large numbers of illegal aliens being released into the U.S. Most of those released in the video were single, adult males who told the reporter that they were headed to various destinations across the U.S., including Miami, Houston, and Atlanta. “Fox witnessed men go into a small, unmarked office, then re-emerge...

Three members of San Francisco’s school board were ousted Tuesday in the wake of widespread backlash over the slow reopening of schools shut down by COVID-19 and a controversial plan to rename dozens of school sites. School board president Gabriela López, vice president Faauuga Moliga and commissioner Alison Collins were all stripped of their positions during a special election, according to tallies by the San Francisco Department of Elections. Furious parents launched the recall effort in January 2021 after arguing the school board was pushing progressive politics instead of acting in the best interests of children amid the pandemic.

In September of last year, Attorney Ali Shultz, legal director for America's Frontline Doctors, joined the Stew Peters Show to raise the alarm about the death care being administered to her father-in-law, for the high crime of refusing to take Remdesivir. She returned to the Stew Peters Show on Tuesday to share a shocking report about hundreds of cases of hospitals isolating babies away from their parents and dosing them with Remdesivir. https://rumble.com/vv1bgt-baby-murder-protocol-infants-separated-from-parents-given-remdesivir-by-med.html

The majority of San Franciscans who voted in Tuesday's special election were in support of recalling three San Francisco school board members, with 79% voting to oust Alison Collins, 75% saying yes to recalling Gabriela López and 72% opting to remove Faauuga Moliga, according to tallies by the San Francisco Department of Elections.

Donald Trump warned Americans about the Deep State. Instead of listening, Democrats (the Party of yore that actually cared about abusive government power) and their cronies in the Mainstream Media mocked him for peddling an “Alt-Right conspiracy.” Not only do we now have more than sufficient proof that the Deep State exists, but clear evidence it has grown stronger, bolder, and more dangerous. In just the past week, two shocking reports have come to light that detail the extent to which the Deep State has flourished in the shadows. The first comes from Senators Ron Wyden and Martin Heinrich, who,...

Biden said Americans could feel "the consequences here at home" of a Russian invasion through higher energy prices. He said that he is prepared to use all his power to provide relief at the gas pump.

I have the honor of serving as the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and I’ve had a successful and fulfilling career as a gang and homicide prosecutor, but the most important title I will ever hold is being called “dad” by my two sons. It is the privilege of my life to be able to raise them to be kind, courageous and most importantly, to know that I will always love, support and protect them. When I took the helm of the Florida House back in 2020, the cyclical issues affecting our families and society became increasingly apparent...
