They voted themselves in a couple of gems, these New York City folks did. Between actually electing Kathy Hochul to continue her reign of incoherence and incompetence, coupled with their already in-situ fashion plate, empty-suit city chief executive, Big Apple dwellers might as well save time and just beat themselves up.Emboldened by the election of state and local politicians, a NYC Council bill that had seemed doomed to ashes is experiencing a Phoenix-like rebirth. To his eternal shame, New York City mayor Eric Adams has signaled he is willing to sign it.What is Mayor Adams willing to sign? THIS abomination.A...

I reported previously about the effort Alyssa Milano made to do a group think and attack Elon Musk. She claimed that she’d given back her Tesla (whatever that means) and gotten a Volkswagen electric vehicle to rebuke Musk. Musk laughed at her in response, given that she was buying a vehicle from a company founded by real Nazis to be anti-Musk. It was particularly funny given that she’d previously been swooning all over him before the leftist edict that he was “bad.” She even had him as one of the top four people she’d like to have dinner with, along...

You might think an official rebuke of Pfizer's CEO for misleading the public on the benefits of its COVID vaccine would be big news, especially given the full-court press by vaccine absolutists to compel people to receive the shots, but even with a Google search, I have not yet seen any U.S. media coverage of a startling rebuke delivered to Pfizer CEO Dr. Albert Bourla by a panel convened by the U.K. Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA). The criticism followed remarks he made in a December 2021 interview with the BBC. The following account is derived from an...

Even the mainstream media admits there were “widespread glitches” with Arizona voting machines on Election Day this year. But for some reason official don’t seem concerned. How different from reports last year that the Federal Trade Commission was investigating McDonalds over breakdowns in ice cream machines. See, for example, this NPR article: “Feds Are Reportedly Looking Into Why McDonald's Ice-Cream Machines Are Always Busted”. https://www.npr.org/2021/09/02/1033715465/mcdonalds-ice-cream-machines-mcflurries-ftc-investigation Double-scoop standard, anyone?

Once Twitter passed out of Leftist control, when billionaire Elon Musk purchased it and took it private, activist companies and pressure groups sprang into action to isolate the social media platform. They are now taking a victory lap over driving 50 major advertisers off the popular platform in protest of its new pro-free-speech policies.On Tuesday, left-wing media monitor Media Matters published an article misleadingly called “In less than a month, Elon Musk has driven away half of Twitter’s top 100 advertisers.” In fact, of the 50 companies listed in the article, a mere seven “issued a statement or was publicly...

The Babylon Bee is far and away the leading source of conservative satirical content on the internet. Its writers brilliantly skewer the entire spectrum of woke and PC nonsense on a daily basis. Its pieces are shared widely in social media by clear thinkers seeking comedic relief in the face of the avalanche of increasingly crazy and dangerous ideas, positions, and rhetoric emanating by the American left. If the Babylon Bee’s most creative satirists conjured up a parody of a woke college course description, it would probably read something like this:

When the final tally comes in for the Georgia runoff, the country should expect the candidate behind in the count to take to the courts.Initial data from the November 2022 general election indicates more than 25,000 Georgians may have voted illegally in the general election. And the problem appears poised to repeat itself when voters cast their ballots in the state’s runoff election for senator on Dec. 6, 2022. Absent a win by a substantial margin by either Republican challenger Herschel Walker or Democrat incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, litigation, with the potential ordering of a new election, seems likely —...

Constituents of the 12 Republican senators who voted to advance Democrats’ wrongly named Respect for Marriage Act strongly oppose the legislation because they know it poses a risk to the First Amendment rights of religious Americans, a new poll from the Heritage Foundation found.Different polling in October claimed that voters in “key battleground” states including Alaska, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Utah, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming were more likely to vote for senators who pledged to vote for the legislation. Heritage’s November poll, however, found that 47 percent, a plurality, of voters represented by Sens. Todd Young of Indiana,...

Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange platform FTX, was a darling in some Washington D.C. policy circles. He proselytized for digital assets in testimony on Capitol Hill and gave more than $990,000 to candidates plus an additional $38.8 million to outside groups this election cycle, making him the sixth biggest individual donor of the 2022 midterms.But his pledge to spend up to $1 billion during the 2024 election cycle likely won’t come to pass. Bankman-Fried’s $16 billion fortune was wiped out almost overnight last week, one of the largest ever single-day collapses among billionaires, according to Bloomberg.Binance CEO...

"I find that very disheartening," he concluded. Two members of the Mohave County, Ariz., Board of Supervisors on Monday voted to certify the results of the Nov. 8 midterm elections "under duress," claiming he was forced to do so under threat of jail time.
