The economy is by far the most important issue to the American electorate right now–and the public is revolted at the way the Biden administration is handling its problems. Fifty-percent of Americans say that the economy and inflation are the number one issue they want President Joe Biden and the Democrat-controlled Congress to make their top priority, according to a poll released Friday by the Wall Street Journal.

More and more GOP-led states are fighting against the Rainbow Mafia’s efforts to destroy culture, education, and sports.In his 1992 address to the Republican National Convention, Pat Buchanan warned of a culture war that could destroy the “soul of America.” At the time, most Americans (and even many conservatives) thought political correctness and multiculturalism were troublesome but would not threaten the foundation of our country.Fast-forward 30 years, and political correctness has turned into cancel culture and censorship; multiculturalism has morphed into racial tribalism; and same-sex marriage, which was barely even a radical idea at that point, quickly opened the floodgates...

President Joe Biden has done “nothing” to stop the current record-setting flow of border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) says.

One disastrous year of one-party rule has Americans ready for something else, and the consensus predicts a backlash in the 2022 midterm elections. But if the Washington establishment gets its way, the abuses and excesses of the Biden era will not be reversed. Exploitation of our country’s citizens and resources will continue, as traditional modes of recourse are invalidated. The ruling class is increasingly comfortable enriching itself at the expense of the public. Our politicians sacrifice their own citizens’ welfare for radical ideological experiments in public health, criminal justice, and primary education. Those in charge are dangerously divorced from the...

The first stop of Kamala’s two-day trip to Europe was Poland. She met with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and President Andzrej Duda. Later in the day, she met refugees from Ukraine and the US embassy in Ukraine’s staff. Her last meeting was with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was also in Warsaw. The idea of sending Kamala to Poland to show American commitment to our relationship with Poland, especially after the botched fighter jet transfer may have been ill-considered.
