Inflation, over the past year, has gone from conspiracy theory, to transient, to no big deal, to ignored, and now finally reluctantly acknowledged by the ruling class. Yet to consumers paying more for groceries, restaurant meals, airline tickets, and gasoline, it is painfully real. Democrats in Congress and the White House are reticent to take any responsibility for inflation with their reckless spending and deliberate hampering of getting petroleum products out of the ground and into cars and homes. After presiding over a more than doubling of gasoline prices during his first year and a half in office, President Biden...

Inflation is so bad that…. My neighbor got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. I saw a Mormon with only one wife. McDonald's is selling a 1/4 ouncer. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Fifty Cent is now Eleven Cent. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names. A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico. A picture is now worth 200 words. The Treasure Island Casino is now managed by Somali pirates. When I called to get Blue Book Value on my car, they asked if gas...

Students at the prestigious Yale Law School have been posting messages online encouraging others to accost their more conservative classmates through 'unrelenting daily confrontation'. Many students have been making their feelings known following the leak draft opinion from the Supreme Court on overturning Roe v. Wade which would make abortion illegal in more than half the states across the nation. Several of the Instagram posts - now private - calling for partisan conflict with classmates were shared with the Washington Free Beacon and subsequently posted to Twitter. In them, a number of liberal law students took aim at their conservative...

Migrants are receiving ample supplies of baby formula, according to Republican Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, while Americans are experiencing severe formula shortages. Photos allegedly taken by a Border Patrol agent at the Ursula Processing Center in McAllen, Texas showed fully stocked shelves of baby formula supposedly given to migrants, according to a Wednesday Twitter post by Cammack. The photos come as Americans across the country are seeing empty shelves where stores used to have baby formula as a result of the supply chain crisis and product recalls.

U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., Wednesday slammed lawmakers and pundits who have disseminated disinformation about the novel coronavirus and the vaccines that are aimed at preventing people from becoming seriously ill or possibly even dying from that contagion. His remarks follow a Tuesday Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee hearing in which Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci sparred over NIH funding for controversial research related to COVID-19 that took place at a Chinese laboratory. During the hearing, Paul accused Fauci of lying and Fauci forcefully denied that claim. Paul...

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) announced Sunday that he suffered a minor stroke over the weekend and is currently being hospitalized. The 63-year-old senator was delivering a speech in western Maryland over the weekend when he started to feel light-headed, he said. He sought medical attention following his speech and soon learned that he experienced a minor stroke.

Mr President, I might be wrong about this, but the Buffalo supermarket massacre does appear to be a disgusting act of racism by a deeply disturbed individual, whose mind consumed poison when lockdowns cut him off from a healthier life. It is possible that you, Mr President, do really care about the fabric of America as much as you want us to believe you do. In my own way, I love that fabric too from a long way away. My dad served under General Douglas MacArthur in 1945 when you were a three year old. The values of that time...

A pro-abortion group is claiming they've been 'permanently banned' from TikTok, saying that it happened after they posted a video excoriating the Catholic Church for what it calls 'enslavement of women.' The group Ruth Sent Us - in reference to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - announced the ban on a backup TikTok account Saturday. Ruth Sent Us has caused controversy several times in recent weeks, interrupting church services and organizing crowds to picket homes of current Supreme Court justices. The group recently doxxed the Washington, D.C.-area addresses of the six conservative Supreme Court Justices and even organized...

The congregants of an Orange County church are being hailed as heroes after they managed to hogtie a gunman who went on a shooting spree on Sunday afternoon in what authorities are describing as an act of 'exceptional heroism and bravery.' One person was killed and five others were shot at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, about 55 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Six people at the house of worship were struck by gunfire after the shooter, said to be an Asian male in his 60s, opened fire at around 1:25 p.m. That man is now in police...

“When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him” (Proverbs 16:7).

This Tuesday voters have decisions to make in the Republican Primaries. Will it be Madison Cawthorn or President Xi in North Carolina? Will it be Kathy Barnette or Globalism in Pennsylvania? Will it be Doug Mastriano or the RINO Establishment here in the Keystone State? Will it be MAGA Janice McGeachin or the China First Republican Governor Brad Little in Idaho? If there isn't unity behind one candidate in the crowded GOP Primary fields the China First Republicans win. In Idaho Glenn Beck for example gave a lot of attention to Ed Humphreys alongside McGeachin. A split vote leaves Little...

“You gotta do what you gotta do to survive, the best way you know how,” said Daryl Dozar, who has been a truck driver for 15-years. Surviving. That’s what some truckers continue to do every day. “I’ve seen fuel prices when I started out, a dollar something a gallon and we were squalling even back then. Now 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 dollars a gallon, it’s ludicrous, it’s out of hand, it’s going to drive the trucking industry out,” said Bart Costi, who has been a truck driver for decades. Now the threat of a potential diesel shortage might become...

Vast regions of Japan’s digital universe are stuck in the early aughts. Online banking, airline booking, major newspapers, you name it: Services that have been streamlined by the digital revolution in much of the world are, in Japan, still plagued by convoluted drop-down menus that lead to dead ends, and detailed forms that need to be printed, filled out by pen, and even returned by fax. In a country that justifiably prides itself on excellent customer service, something happens when it comes to relaying information through a user interface displayed on a flat screen. Japan’s high-quality, mostly physical public infrastructure...
