Times have changed. Two years ago, tennis great Novak Djokovic could not play in the U.S. Open tournament. It was not because he had Covid-19 and posed a danger to fellow athletes and fans. Djokovic could not come into the country because of President Biden’s proclamation banning the entry of unvaccinated noncitizen air travelers into America. Now, U.S. sporting officials let American sprinter Noah Lyles compete at the Olympics with an active case of Covid-19, putting his fellow athletes at risk of contracting the disease and impairing their performance. Lyles tested positive on Tuesday. But he was allowed to run...

As we mark the two-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly has been reduced. Inflation continues to strain American families by an extra $1,000 per month, and the burden of government regulation on businesses has certainly not eased, as they struggle under new tax rates, mandates, and rising supply costs. The $750 billion health care, tax, and climate bill, hailed by President Biden as “one of the most significant laws in our history,” has proven to be a fiscal disaster. The American people are learning the hard way that the IRA was never...

VIDEOChuck Toad aka Chuck Todd is infamous for his completely incorrect as well as absurd political analaysis. And the latest political absurdity spouted by Chuck Toad is that it was a good thing that Kamala Harris was a do-nothing Vice-President which means her "fingerprints" are not on the disastrous policies of the Biden-Harris regime. Chuck Toad concluded that because Kamala was MIA (especially in regards to her duties as Border Czar) the public will be so stupid as to treat her as a political newcomer who had nothing to do with the failed policies of the past three years. Unfortunately...

The administration of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Vice President Kamala Harris’s choice for running mate, “made it a priority” to delete language in the Minnesota Human Rights Act intended to protect children from pedophiles, State Rep. Harry Niska (R) revealed during an interview on Breitbart News Daily. The Minnesota Human Rights Act is essentially a name for the state’s anti-discrimination statute, but Democrats in Walz’s administration “have really pushed the envelope in terms of gender ideology into our Human Rights Act.” “And that included deleting from the Human Rights Act some language that specifically made clear — this is...

This week a coalition of leftist groups released an ad for Kamala Harris that contains what the New York Times describes as the “unified message from the left.” What is the message? The election is all about “our freedom” – by which they mean their freedom, not yours. As the Times puts it, leftist groups tested its “freedom” messaging in the 2022 midterms to “reclaim the language about freedom and personal liberty,” which they say helped “blunt what had been expected to be a sweeping victory for Republicans.” As we noted in this space recently, Harris has been talking up...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday and discussed the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, Axios reported, citing two US sources. One source told Axios that Trump's call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to take the deal but stressed he did not know if this was indeed what the former president told Netanyahu. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Late last month, Netanyahu visited the US and met President Joe Biden, Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and Republican former President Trump.

Tehran is reconsidering its approach to retaliation against Israel following Ismail Haniyeh's assassination, Professor Uzi Rabi, head of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, explained to Nissim Mashal and Liat Ron in an interview on 103FM on Thursday morning. "There is ongoing deliberation in Tehran. If we go back to the day after Haniyeh was eliminated, they spoke of revenge at the highest level. However, as days pass, it seems that Iran is having second thoughts, mainly due to the American buildup in the Middle East," Rabi said. "Currently, Iran even sees...

The Coalition for Carolina recently noted that UNC-Chapel Hill has dropped out of the top-10 “average adjusted faculty salary” rankings for the 2023-24 academic year, as measured against a select group of peer institutions. The implication from the announcement is that this is a bad thing. “We should demand to see our faculty in the top 10 in salaries, respect and shared governance,” the progressive organization declared. “It is concerning, because the quality of our faculty determines the quality of the University and the quality of education that students receive.” Complaints about faculty salaries from within the academy often imply...

Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance responded to his opponent, Kamala Harris’ number two Tim Walz, regarding a proposed Oct. 1 debate on CBS, and although he said he’d only seen the offer a few hours earlier and hadn’t had a chance to review the terms, he was confident that it would go down. However, he said he wouldn’t be interested if it wasn’t a “real” debate. "We want to actually look at the debates, look at the moderators, talk about the rules a little bit," he said. "I strongly suspect we're going to be there on October the 1st,...

"The site agent went to do one final sweep of the walking route and found the agent breast-feeding her child in a room that is supposed to be set aside for important Secret Service official work, i.e. a potential emergency related to the president. A working agent on duty cannot bring a child to a protective assignment. The woman was out of the Atlanta Field Office. The woman agent was in the room with two other family members. The agent and her family members bypassed the Uniformed Division checkpoint and were escorted by an unpinned event staff into the room...

Soviet-style centrally administered price controls on food and grocery prices will form part of the federal economic proposals U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil Friday when she finally delivers an insight into her 2024 policies. Her address will mark the first time Harris offers a policy focused speech since she was anointed as the Democratic candidate in July and been roundly accused by critics since as being a policy-free zone, as Breitbart News reported. The Democratic nominee is promising to institute a first-ever national ban on price gouging and price-fixing within her first 100 days in office in an...

If Kamala Harris wanted to dispel the idea that Democrats are soft on crime, Tim Walz was an odd choice of running mate. Mr. Walz’s tenure as Minnesota’s governor will be defined by the George Floyd race riots in Minneapolis and his response to them. Americans everywhere still live with the consequences. On Memorial Day 2020, May 25, Floyd passed a counterfeit $20 bill at a Minneapolis convenience store. The clerk called the police; Floyd, high on fentanyl, resisted arrest and said that he couldn’t breathe. After a long struggle, the responding officers managed to cuff Floyd and place him...

Canisteo, N.Y. (WHAM)— Steuben County residents are speaking out for the first time after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced emergency cash funding for families over the weekend. Canisteo residents who spoke with 13WHAM say they were promised funds after damaging floods brought by remnants of Debby hit their town last week. But now, they are discovering they do not qualify. William Weakland and his neighbor, Kate Bowie, are both staying with relatives after flooding took their homes. "Everyone that was there was extremely sympathetic, and their promises felt sincere," Weakland said. "We got out the front door got in the truck...

Walz would not be the first politician bought by the CCP, but he should be the last. His close ties to the CCP alone should disqualify him from office. Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential candidate seems to be a case of ideological birds of a feather flocking together. In the wake of the selection, Walz has received considerable criticism for his deception and dissembling regarding his military service. He merits equally great criticism for his ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Here are ten things that you did not know...
