Joe Biden repeated a falsehood about the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that Democrats have uttered so constantly since 2017 that you have to wonder whether Biden was lying or whether he actually believes his own malarkey. Biden's line: "Unlike the $2 trillion tax cut passed in the previous administration that benefited the top 1% of Americans, the American Rescue Plan helped working people — and left no one behind."

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton could be headed for a primary runoff, with nearly half the votes counted late Tuesday, according to Decision Desk HQ. In a field of four candidates, not enough Texas Republican primary voters appear convinced that the two-term incumbent should remain the Republican’s candidate for the job. That could put the embattled attorney general on the defensive in the biggest fight of his political life. Candidates Eva Guzman, a former Texas Supreme Court Justice, and Land Commissioner George P. Bush are neck and neck in their own fight to determine who will come out in second...

I’m not a praying man, but if I were, I would be on my hands and knees thanking the Almighty that during the worst crisis in Europe since 1945, the United States is led by Joe Biden, not Donald Trump. Biden has been as masterful in his handling of the Ukraine war as he was ham-handed in his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal. For months he has been warning that Russia would invade and predicting that this would trigger a “swift and severe” response. He even laid out details of Russian plans to stage false flag operations and to install...

Germany scrapped compulsory military service just over 10 years ago, but the conflict in Ukraine has reignited the debate around whether young men and women should be required to fight for their country. Conscription was introduced in Germany in 1956 with men over 18 expected to serve in the army for a year, though they could claim exemption due to moral objections. The practice was gradually wound down and finally scrapped in 2011 as part of moves to save money, and in line with Germany's traditionally cautious approach to defence as a result of its post-war guilt. But Russia's invasion...

Viewers of the progressive news cable channel MSNBC melted down on social media Tuesday after anchor Chuck Todd said that President Joe Biden didn't have a "loyal fanbase." Social media erupted with anger and frustration when Todd made the comments on his show "Meet the Press Daily" ahead of Biden's first State of the Union speech in Congress. "Chuck is an uninformed idiot. Just because 81 million of us don’t wear T-shirts, wrap up our cars in banners, and build golden idols, doesn’t mean we aren’t out there," replied one angry Twitter user.

In U.S. Navy Seals 1-26 v. Biden, (5th Cir., Feb. 28, 2022), the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to grant the Navy a partial stay of an injunction issued by a Texas federal district court protecting 35 special warfare personnel who object on religious grounds to complying with the military's COVID vaccine mandate. The court said in part: Defendants have not demonstrated “paramount interests” that justify vaccinating these 35 Plaintiffs against COVID-19 in violation of their religious beliefs. They insist that “given the small units and remote locations in which special-operations forces typically operate, military commanders have determined...

Gordon College was sued by DeWeese-Boyd in 2017 over its refusal to promote her,...
