It happened with the Russia hoax, it happened all during Trump’s time in the White House, and it happened again with the Chinese spy balloon. Anonymous sources were once rarely used in journalism. They would only be cited when trying to preserve someone’s physical safety or report on the most sensitive national security matters, and there was an expectation that such unusual sourcing be reviewed by editors and carefully corroborated whenever possible. Now anonymous sourcing has become the norm in reporting and is frequently used as a political weapon to disseminate Democrats’ talking points and smear their enemies. The illicit...

Now, five weeks after Fetterman was sworn into Congress, he’s in the hospital. Gee, how did that happen? ... Yeah, he ran for the Senate...

Florida lawmakers passed a bill Friday expanding GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis' authority to flying migrants to Democrat-run states and cities. The bill is in response to the recent influx of migrants arriving in Key West and expands the DeSantis administration's earlier efforts to move migrants to others states by formally creating the Unauthorized Alien Transport Program, according to NBC News.

Crime rates are soaring all over the nation, and this is especially true in heavily populated urban areas. The complete and utter lawlessness that we are witnessing has caused many pundits to describe our largest cities as “war zones”, and unfortunately that is not an exaggeration at all. In fact, there are some zip codes in Chicago where young adult males are more likely to be shot and killed than U.S. soldiers were during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq… For some residents, Chicago is more dangerous than Afghanistan was for U.S. troops during the Iraq war, according to a...
