Push is coming to strife in America. Sufficient trust of elected officials at the federal level by constituents is running out of gas. The United States in the 1950s transformed into a non-constitutional form of government, where federal departments collectively hold more authority than elected officials. The transformation broadened in the 1960s and leveled off during the 1990s. The ability to transition back to three branches of government as defined in the U.S. Constitution is the intent of the growing citizen majority today. The increasing friction among all involved parties for restoring the constitutional form of government is heating to...

US President Joe Biden sought to use his first Middle East tour in office to reassert Washington's influence but emerged without a single diplomatic breakthrough, an outcome analysts said was no surprise. On issues ranging from energy prices to human rights and Israel's role in the region, Biden could point only to small -- if any -- gains after four whirlwind days of meetings and speeches. Driving the point home, as Air Force One flew back to Washington Saturday evening, Biden's Saudi hosts downplayed one of the trip's few concrete announcements: their lifting of airspace restrictions on flights to and...

The state of the world is disturbing enough that we don’t need more things to get disturbed about. There’s a Yiddish expression -- Hak mir nisht keyn tshaynik! It means “don’t bang on my teakettle.” Apparently when you went to see someone and they were in the field, workshop or barn, you banged on their teakettle to summon them. So the expression means, don’t bother me. Each day when I check my emails, there are at least 20 messages with the header “disturbing” or some like word designed to get me agitated enough to contribute something to the sender. Honestly,...

On the final day of the Idaho Republican Convention being hosted in Twin Falls, Rep. Dorothy Moon was elected as the Chair of the state's Republican party unseating current chairman Tom Luna. Rep. Moon ran for the state's party chair after an unsuccessful run for Secretary of State against Phil McGrane. Rep. Moon did not seek re-election in the legislature to run in the Idaho Republican primary. Rep. Moon thanked Tom Luna for his service to the party and Idaho. "I promised my fellow Republicans that I will lead our party with civility and conviction. That is also my promise...

The June inflation numbers are a disaster, coming in at a 40-year high of 9.1%. After the Biden administration’s repeated victory laps crowing about “ the fastest-growing economy in the world ” and how we’re “ stronger economically ” than ever, the downward spiral is feeding a growing consensus that President Joe Biden and his Democrats in Congress are actively making things worse. According to official numbers , prices rose 1.3% on the month, which translates to an annualized pace of nearly 17%. Controlling for manipulated housing statistics , the numbers are even worse: 1.7% on the month , which...

The slow drip of revelations about the Russiagate scandal has diminished the significance of the most important truth about it: that it was a Hillary Clinton campaign operation. The campaign paid for the notorious Steele dossier via its law firm, Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS. Hillary Clinton herself personally approved of the campaign’s decision to disseminate materials related to the Alfa Bank hoax - the false charge that servers at Trump Tower had a secret communications link with a Russian bank - even though the FBI was able to prove quickly that no such secret link existed. In some ways,...

Space entrepreneur Robert Bigelow donated $10 million to the reelection campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday, according to the Friends of Ron DeSantis committee. Bigelow, the founder of Budget Suites of America, has also invested in other projects including Bigelow Aerospace and National Institute for Discovery Science. The entrepreneur garnered attention after telling a “60 Minutes” host that he was “absolutely convinced” after she asked if he believed in aliens. Bigelow told the show that he believes aliens are “right under people’s noses” on Earth. Bigelow is a conservative Republican who previously offered words of support for former...

This week’s White House Report Card finds President Joe Biden abandoned by his base, with 64% of Democrats hoping he doesn’t run for reelection and 94% of younger voters (a group he won by 24 percentage points in 2020) agreeing. Not only did the economy continue to crater this week, but Biden tripped his way through the Middle East, raising eyebrows in Israel and with Palestinian officials, and giving Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman al Saud a friendly fist bump that drew sharp criticism from the president’s allies and friends, including Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Washington Post....

Three months ago in our quarterly list of the top 10 most likely Democratic candidates for president in 2024, we changed things up. For a while, we had been ranking only the candidates not named Joe Biden. In the seemingly unlikely scenario he didn’t run again, the idea was, here’s who would be next in line. [Snip] 10. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 9. Roy Cooper (North Carolina governor) 8. Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan governor) 7. Gavin Newsom (California governor) 6. Bernie Sanders 5. Elizabeth Warren 4. Amy Klobuchar 3. Kamala D. Harris 2. Pete Buttigieg 1. President Biden (Brandon)

**SNIP** But it is tough to be John Kerry right now. It didn’t have to be this way. The 40-year political veteran and current “Special Presidential Envoy” - commonly referred to as the “International Climate Czar” - has come under intense scrutiny lately for both his lifestyle - which runs counter to his eco-centric messaging - and his refusal to answer basic questions about the finances of his State Department division, including its size, payroll and specific mission. Let’s unpack the extreme hypocrisy on both. While Kerry regularly rails against fossil fuel use and their effects on the “existential threat...

After the testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, is there any doubt that Donald Trump fomented the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021? There are no longer any innocent explanations for what he did that day. Select Committee testimony has demonstrated that he knew he had no good factual or legal basis for his claim that the election was stolen, that he knew Vice President Mike Pence was not going to save him and that his only chance to remain in the White House was to stop the final ratification by Congress on Jan. 6. The testimony has also...

“Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly. Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with” (Proverbs 17:12-14).

A judge in Tennessee has temporarily banned two federal agencies from enforcing directives issued by the Biden administration that extended protections for LGBTQ people in schools and workplaces, like allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice. US District Judge Charles Atchley Jr. on Friday ruled for 20 state attorneys general who sued last August claiming the Biden administration directives infringe on states' rights. The ruling could prevent students from participating in sports based on their gender identity or requiring schools and businesses to provide bathrooms and showers to accommodate transgender people.

According to the Buena Park Police Department, officers were rushed to the scene after receiving reports of gunfire.

Do you think the GOP will win a landslide victory in the November midterms? Do you think it will be a cakewalk? Boy are you naïve. I’ve been warning about what’s coming for many months on my nationally-syndicated radio show “Wayne Allyn Root: Raw & Unfiltered” on USA Radio Network. It’s all starting to happen just as my crystal ball predicted. First, I’ve been warning nonstop that Democrats are planning to steal the 2022 midterms, just like they stole the 2020 presidential election. More on that in a moment. Second, I’ve been warning that Democrats (and their PR wing in...

Today’s Gospel at Mass is the very familiar one of Martha and Mary. Martha is the anxious worker seeking to please the Lord with a good meal and hospitality. Mary sits quietly at his feet and listens. One has come to be the image of work, the other of prayer.Misinterpreted? In my fifty-two years I have heard many a sermon that interpreted this Gospel passage as a call for a proper balance between work and prayer. Some have gone on to state that we all need a little of Martha and Mary in us and that the Church needs both...
