From beer and beef jerky to donuts and everything at Pizza Hut, sriracha has become a culinary mainstay of America. The story of how the hot sauce came to the country is also one of immigration. One of the earliest records of sriracha dates back to 1949, when a woman in Thailand made a chili sauce using chili peppers, vinegar, sugar, salt, and garlic. She named it after the small seaside town she lived in, Si Racha. But sriracha in its most ubiquitous form — a plastic bottle filled with chili sauce and topped with a green cap — was...

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump has caused the Democrats to keep winning, not Republicans. Christie said, “Bad candidates lose. Good candidates have a chance to win. And Herschel Walker was not a good candidate. And, you know, he wasn’t a good candidate because of a whole variety of issues that we saw that came out during the campaign.”

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the January 6 House Select Committee issuing a criminal referral for former President Donald Trump and others was not a political statement.

While it’s wonderful to see an American civilian released from an unjustly long sentence in a foreign land, it must be said that the Biden administration just revealed who was the sucker in its negotiations to release Brittney Griner from the Russian gulag. Let me state up front: I am glad “BG,” as her wife Cherelle calls her, is coming home.

Sen. Rand Paul leaned into the transgender issue during an interview Friday with FNC's Laura Ingraham: SEN. RAND PAUL: Who is also responsible for telling a four-year-old that we need to talk about their gender and whether they’re in the appropriate body? Who’s talking about giving picture books to six-year-olds with illustrations of surgery to remove their genitalia? It’s Democrat politicians and woke left-wing people. There’s not one Republican -- look, Republicans are not perfect. But Republicans are not pushing your child to have surgery to remove their genitalia as early as elementary school. No Republican is pushing this. These...
