We saw this breakdown coming well over a year ago. America’s relationship with the leadership of the Solomon Islands was already beginning to decline by then, despite the longstanding partnership we had previously established with them and our naval presence in the region. But China has been pushing hard to disrupt America’s ties to the Indo-Pacific region and they have been courting the Solomon Islands as part of their bid to control the Pacific. Not even a month ago, China was structuring a bid to purchase a deepwater port in the islands, clearly planning to develop their own naval military...

Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade said Tuesday on FBN’s “Kudlow” that suburban white women were “freaked out” by the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, hurting Republicans in polling for the midterm election. Kilmeade said, “Well, the three things the Democratic Party is polling well in, coronavirus still, which is inexplicable; abortion because they are pro-choice and a lot of the zero tolerance, when it comes to these states has a lot of people freaked out. I think the 15 weeks seems to be – even if you’re the most pro-life person, your neighbor probably isn’t – so how do...

Eric Adams, The mayor of New York City is standing in front of television cameras every day to slam Texas Governor Greg Abbott for bussing illegal migrants to his city. The buses are paid for by Texas taxpayers and the goal is to highlight the Biden border crisis. The indignant mayor doesn’t mention Arizona Governor Doug Ducey in his rants about how anti-American and unpatriotic Abbott is for moving illegal migrants away from the overcrowding at the border. Interestingly enough, he also has not mentioned that the City of El Paso is sending buses to NYC, too, and being reimbursed...

Late last week, California regulators approved a ban on gasoline-powered vehicles by the year 2035. The ban is unrealistic and a major overreach. There is no doubt that California is influential. The Golden State has the fifth largest economy in the world, and one in eight U.S. residents call the state home. Unfortunately, the 2035 car ban is starting to seep out to other states. Already, as many as 17 other states are looking to follow California down this disastrous road. If this mandate is not stopped, Americans will suffer the consequences.Families struggling with massive inflation will feel more pressure...

Jeremy Boland, Assistant Principal of Cos Cob Elementary School: “Believe it or not, the open-minded, more progressive teachers are actually more savvy about delivering a Democratic message without really ever having to mention politics.” • Boland: “So, it's subtle. They [teachers I hire] will never say, ‘Oh, this is [a] liberal or a Democratic way of doing this.’ They'll just make that the norm -- and this is how we handle things, it's subtle…That's how you get away with it.” • Boland: “The conservative [teacher], who is stuck in her ways. I’ll never be able to fire her, and I’ll...

They keep telling us to go green—rely on renewable energy!—but the simple often unstated fact is that the technology isn’t there yet. Many countries in Europe are about to find that out the hard way, as that little thing called “winter” approaches and energy supplies dwindle, in large part due to the Russian war in Ukraine but also as a result of their own suicidal policies. An unfortunate fact that the World Economic Forum and the Biden administration don’t want you to know—the sanctions against Russia have largely failed, and the totalitarian country is doing better financially than ever.The Wall...

President Joe Biden on Tuesday recalled being a lifeguard in rough neighborhoods in Wilmington, Delaware. “There’s a place where I was the only white guy that worked as a lifeguard down in that area, on the East side,” Biden said, referring to his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware.

College was supposed to be fun, I thought.There once was a time in this country, long ago, when men were men but on occasion, men dressed as women — but it was to get out of the Army, like Corporal Klinger in M*A*S*H.Also, people had nowhere near the issue of associating with someone who did not hold every view as theirs and were not perpetually offended.Those were the days.Nowadays, it seems that your feelings matter more than anyone else’s feelings and those good people must be marginalized and banned for the sin of just having a different view than you....

If you were to ask most conservatives what the worst newspaper in the country is, you’d get a lot of arguments between The New York Times and The Washington Post. But, despite the Times’ deep hatred of Republicans and its clear partisan reporting, in my opinion, the correct answer is the Post.No national newspaper has been as blatant of a mouthpiece for government corruption and political bias, and if you still have doubts, just remember that they also employ Taylor Lorenz, perhaps the worst “reporter” on the planet. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Times is a destructive entity,...

President Joe Biden got confused while delivering a speech promoting Democrat candidates in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. “Please please elect the Attorney General to the Senate, and elect that big ol’ boy to be governor,” Biden asked voters in the audience. Biden was clearly mistaken about what office each candidate was running for. The attorney general is Josh Shapiro, running to be governor and the “big ol’ boy” is Lt Gov. John Fetterman, who is running for the Senate. [cut] Referring to Fetterman, Biden noted he could not join them at the event, but he endorsed him as a “powerful voice”...

According to attorney Mike Davis, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland just ordered that no members of the DOJ can contact Congress. That’s against the law. In a Twitter thread this evening, attorney Mike Davis shared that AG Merrick Garland ordered all members of his corrupt DOJ to not contact Congress. (snip) If Garland’s memo is interpreted as ordering DOJ employees not to go to Congress with information on crimes taking place within the DOJ, then Garland broke the law.

he Monkees singer Micky Dolenz is suing the FBI in an effort to "obtain any records" the agency has on the hit band and its members. A lawsuit filed by Dolenz, the last surviving member of the band, noted the performer had "exhausted all necessary required administrative remedies" after submitting a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to receive the files from the FBI. Portions of an FBI file on the "I'm a Believer" singers were released in 2011 and included references to anti-Vietnam War rhetoric and "subliminal messages" depicted on a screen at a 1967 Monkees concert that an...

Unless you’re a person of color or a favored minority, brace yourself to be treated unfairly by the Biden administration. President Joe Biden is pushing racial equity — which is very different from equal treatment regardless of race. Racial equity means government will treat people unequally, discriminating against whites to equalize outcomes. For Team Biden, it means closing the wealth gap between the white and black populations. By whatever means. You may think it’s “unfair” to be forced to pay off other people’s student loans after you already paid back your own. But Biden’s White House actually defends debt cancellation...

The book 2000 Mules written by conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza was supposed to hit book shelves on August 30 but has been recalled because of an unspecified "significant error." The release of the book comes after the debut of D'Souza's film of the same name, which claims widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Like the film, the book alleges that the Democratic Party and "mules" carrying bags of votes swayed results in President Joe Biden's favor. D'Souza wrote on Truth Social that early copies of his book had been "recalled."

DOJ is currently considering another raid on Trump's Mar-A-Largo residence in the near future. AG Meritless Garland postulated that the FBI would be justified in another raid under the guise of executing a warrant citing Civil Assets Forfeiture. Around the water cooler in the 7th floor of the FBI building, FBI agents imagined a possible Civil Assets Forfeiture case that they could sell to Meritless to raid Trump's house again. Agents speculated that coasters were taken from the White House and that Trump was marketing them on E-Bay for a fortune. Based upon that, a raid could be made to...

When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled “Naked Nomads,” which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point that the biggest factor concerning violent crime was that it is overwhelmingly committed by single men. While there was no danger — I would say no chance — that I would commit a violent crime (though I was, at the time, single), this fact along with others in the book...

Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs will lift all COVID protocols that have kept some workers away as it pushes all employees to return to the office five days a week after Labor Day, The Post has learned. In a memo sent Tuesday obtained by The Post, Goldman Sachs told workers it will no longer require vaccines, COVID testing or masks — a signal it won’t accept excuses for employees who claimed COVID as a reason for working from home. “There is significantly less risk of severe illness,” the memo stated. “In line with [the CDC’s] updated protocols, if you have...

Michigan could be the next state to put abortion on the November ballot, and Democrats no doubt hope it will juice turnout among their base, carrying Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to a second term and maybe flipping some House or state legislative races. Have Republicans devised a better strategy since this month’s blowout referendum in Kansas? Michigan’s proposed constitutional amendment would create a right to “reproductive freedom,” including abortion access through fetal viability, which is roughly 24 weeks. Proponents needed to gather 425,059 signatures. They submitted about 750,000, which news reports say is the most ever for a Michigan initiative. Official...
