Weaponization of government. The question is, who is best equipped to bring all this in for a landing? And I think you’re right....

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the U.S. child poverty rate was a ‘disgrace” that should be addressed with a child tax credit. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “New numbers out this week show that child poverty in the U.S. more than doubled in the last year from 5% to 12%, 1 in 8 American children. This comes after Congress let that pandemic-era enhanced tax credit expire. Do you think it should be put back, and who do you blame for the disappearance? Because that was not just Republicans.”

CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger said Sunday on “State of the Union” that Republicans wasted time on the Hunter Biden probes, which he called a “witch-hunt.” Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “For argument’s sake, let me say the idea of let’s have top-line spending year 2019 levels is not crazy. That’s a small step towards fiscal moderation. Just for argument sake. Have you seen any strategy from House Republicans to make that happen? Reaching out to Senate Democrats reaching out to House Democrats, talking about this. They got the majority in January. I haven’t.”

America’s educational institutions used to adhere to objective standards of excellence. Students and faculty members had to strive and were rewarded (or not) according to their performance. What their background might be or where their ancestors lived didn’t matter. That was true until a corrosive idea called “disparate impact” began taking hold in the country some 50 years ago. What that meant was that objective standards were objectionable if they resulted in poorer performance by certain racial groups. The obsession with disparate impact was kick-started by the Supreme Court’s 1971 Griggs v. Duke Power decision and has been growing in...

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfYSB9z746o I was raised in Hollywood, although I looked Chinese, I'm really not. I'm actually a Hollywoodite. My parents were both motion picture actors. My father, you know, was a motion picture actor, and my mother, raised in a Hollywood family, grew up around Hollywood and Beverly Hills with all the movie stars. I sat on the knee of most of the biggest movie stars that have lived, people like Burt Lancaster, Gregory Peck, June Allyson, and Fred Astaire. Those are people that I grew up with at our house parties and hanging around my dad's restaurants. But I...

The administration reportedly plans to force illegal immigrants to remain in Texas and other border states by using ankle monitors and other GPS-tracking devices. Republican governors such as Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida have effectively drawn attention...
