Build Back Never Inflation is eroding Joe Biden’s ability to deliver on his main legislative achievement in office.Inflation in the United States now stands at its highest level since 1982, reaching an 8.3 percent annual rate in April 2022 and peaking well into the double digits in fast-growing metro areas like Phoenix. Opinion polls show rapidly rising prices as Americans’ Number One concern and a central challenge to Joe Biden’s presidency, which he acknowledged in a White House speech this week. “I know that families all across America are hurting because of inflation,” Biden said.Less appreciated is how inflation...

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) exchanged jabs with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) this week after the Democrat mayor made a “call to arms” over the leak of the Supreme Court draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade. On Monday, days after the leak, Lightfoot echoed the panic from pro-abortion activists, calling her LGBTQ allies to action.

Do Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski want to force health care workers who are devout Catholics [in the non-Joe Biden sense of the term] and others with religious objections to abortion to participate in abortions under pain of losing their jobs? Apparently so, judging by the pair's comments on today's Morning Joe. Joe and Mika, saying "there's always something," dismissed Senator Susan Collins for her objection to the pro-abortion "Women's Health Protection Act," a Democrat bill codifying Roe v. Wade, for its failure to include such a religious exemption. But first, they mocked the "snowflake" Senator for calling the police...

Think they're worried about Barnette winning? Ric Grennell torched his credibility and essentially signed his resignation papers from the conservative movement by launching this fake, paid attack on Kathy Barnette: Screenshot (2167).png Wow, looks bad, right? Until you realize that sometimes people use hashtags to get people to click on their post, and then they hit them with a counter-message that the person clicking wasn't expecting. Is that what happened here? Um, yes. Here's the video that is linked by those hashtags: a video in which she says-- yells, actually -- "DEFUNDING THE POLICE IS STUPID, PEOPLE! ABOLISHING THE POLICE...

Joe Biden admitted to removing COVID relief from the package, stating on Monday that he was told it would delay action on the urgently needed Ukrainian aid, confirming that now COVID funds are being diverted to rush the $40 billion towards the Ukraine war.After agreeing to reject a request for further COVID-19 related funding that they intended to merge, Congressional Democrats are pushing to rustle up $39.8 billion in additional Ukraine aid.According to Reuters, the package, which exceeds President Joe Biden’s $33 billion proposal from April, could be voted on by the House as soon as Tuesday, with Senate Democrats...

Anyone claiming to be a champion of science but quick to flag new evidence as ‘misinformation’ is no scientist at all. The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB), an authority on medical licensure and the discipline in the United States, recently passed a policy on medical misinformation and disinformation that will guide state medical boards and the health care workers they license and could even “become state law.” What could possibly go wrong?Like the other obsessive “misinformation” pushes — from Silicon Valley to CNN’s Brian Stelter to the White House — this one once again uses the Covid rationale to...

Since the early 1960s, universities have sought to achieve racial equality. Initiatives have ranged from offering extra tutoring for struggling minority students to making them more comfortable on campus by providing segregated housing and black-only graduation ceremonies. Unfortunately, nothing has worked. Now, after over a half century of trying everything imaginable and sparing no expense, what is left? Never underestimate determined professors chasing Utopian fantasies. The latest racial equality measures are now transpiring at the University of Illinois-Urbana, a school where I spent 28 years as a professor of Political Science. In a nutshell, all professors up for tenure or...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump tweeted “dumb shit-stuff” a second before the control room could mute her. During the panel discussion about the possibility of Trump returning to Twitter under Elon Musk‘s ownership, Behar said, “I believe in free speech. I am very, you know, this is what we do for a living. And I believe in the First Amendment. Not that this is covered by the First Amendment because this is a privately-owned business. But, I mean, let us not forget that Trump was kicked off of Twitter because...

Following two years of suffering under some of the strictest lockdown measures in the Western world, New Zealand will finally lift its Chinese coronavirus border restrictions in July, leftist Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Wednesday. New Zealand’s borders will be fully reopened on July 31st, two months before the government had previously planned as the economy inches closer to a recession.

Crazed abortion protestors illegally descended upon the homes of several Supreme Court justices in a bid to influence their upcoming ruling on Roe v. Wade, a ruling so badly reasoned back in 1973 that even liberal but principled Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had misgivings about its legal grounding. According to Fox News, their descent, led by a badly named group called "Ruth Sent Us" was in violation of 18 USC 1503, which "prohibits 'endeavors to influence, intimidate or impede... officers of [the] court'." Similarly, the equally vile disruption of the sacred Catholic mass, by crazed maniacs lobbying with banners and...

Many House GOPers voted the other night to send $40 billion worth of "aid" to Ukraine. I haven't checked but I'm guessing this was a supplemental which means that nothing was cut and this is extra borrowed money. Surely this undermines the party's message on financial prudence and of the inflation problem as they have effectively voted to make it worse! I presume this will have enough votes in the Senate and they will get their way. My question is to conservatives who believe in America First where do we go from here? It's very hard to just primary dozens...

Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron filed paperwork Wednesday to enter the state’s 2023 governor’s race, hoping to ride his resistance to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear’s coronavirus restrictions into the governor’s office. Cameron, seen as a rising GOP star, made history in 2019 as the first African American to serve as the state’s attorney general. Now he’s trying to blaze another trail in his bid for governor.

Like so many others, I pray our Supreme Court justices have indeed acted with courage to finally overturn Roe v. Wade. I pray their courage holds fast in the face of the frothing rage now unleashed. I pray that our country will finally begin to right the most evil wrong in our history. We must finally rip the façade off this bloody “right.”1. It is fundamentally unjust.There is simply nothing just about the stronger killing the weaker and defenseless for the sole reason that the stronger doesn’t want the weaker and defenseless one to exist. That is the essence of...

This footage is truly terrifying when you consider the prospect that should scientists transfer the technology to Beijing, or perhaps even the military, they may utilize the superior drone technology to target humans. Watch as the autonomous Chinese drone swarm flies through forest while hunting for humans.EXCLUSIVE: How The Atlantic Council Pulled Over The COVID-19 Matrix On The WorldA swarm of micro-drones maneuvered a thick bamboo forest in China without using GPS, avoiding trees, branches, and brush. The stunning film shows that these drones could one day be employed for search and rescue operations or even more sinister purposes, such...

A radical pro-abortion group is claiming responsibility for firebombing a pro-life group’s office in Wisconsin and it’s promising more violence nationwide.

New homes built in California starting in 2026 need to be powered by all-electric furnaces, stoves and other appliances if California is to meet its ambitious climate change goals over the next two decades, according to a state pollution-reduction plan released Tuesday.

Mysterious new outbreaks of disease are erupting all over the planet. Should we be alarmed? Over the past few years, we have all seen how rapidly an outbreak can spread. A few confirmed cases in one part of the world can become a true global pandemic in just a matter of weeks. And once a pandemic begins, it can be with us indefinitely. After more than two years of fighting COVID, our health authorities are now admitting that it is going to be with us for many years to come. Despite all of our advanced technology, the truth is that...
