A top economist at the ADP Research Institute slapped down the asinine leftist narrative that the United States is experiencing explosive jobs growth. ADP Chief Economist Nela Richardson joined CNBC Squawk Box following the shocking news Jan.12 that inflation had spiked a whopping 7 percent year-over-year in December, the highest level since 1982. After noting that real wage earnings, “which are negative,” Richardson said whatever wage increases the media has been propping up as a bellwether for a peachy economy was driven by “labor shortages.” Richardson then dropped the hammer: “The economy — and this is an important point —...

A meteorologist known for smacking down the sensationalism of eco-fanatics said his website was demonetized by censorship giant Google. University of Alabama, Huntsville Principal Research Scientist Dr. Roy Spencer posted a blog on his website Jan. 7 saying that he had been demonetized for “unreliable and harmful claims.” This meant, according to Spencer, that he could “no longer generate revenue to support the website using the Google Adsense program.” Spencer noted that he was getting “Google warnings for a couple months now about ‘policy violations’, but nowhere was it listed what pages were in violation, and what those violations were.”...

Sometimes you read something that might make you exclaim, "Just plain... nuts." Such was probably the case when most normal people saw a column by Joe Mathews published in the Ventura County Star on Thursday, "California should abolish parenthood, in the name of equity."

President Joe Biden, who has low approval ratings, recently gave a speech on voter rights in Atlanta and Stacey Abrams was nowhere to be seen. Biden says it was because of a schedule issue and suggested that he wasn't snubbed by the failed gubernatorial candidate. When a reporter asked Joe Biden why Abrams wasn't there, suggesting she might have snubbed the president, he snapped back and suggested it was an insulting question. However, criticism by Joe Concha suggest Abrams MAY think Joe Biden is toxic to be around. WATCH Concha explode on it...

The World Situation In A Nutshell British Intelligence puts out a news release about a Chinese spy in Parliament. A News Release!!! I guess the real problem is that Russia is about to invade Ukraine you read about it every day at least???? John F. Kennedy drew a red line over Soviet missiles in Cuba in 1962 in territory near the US and Russia is drawing a red line over NATO expansion and offensive capabilities near its territory in 2022... Politics I See The Wagons Circling Is That A Sign Of War! Lindsey Graham, Senator from South Carolina, Boeing etc....

In France the "Pass Sanitaire (Health Pass)" is giving way to the new stricter "Pass Vaccinale (Vaccine Pass)". The new rules mean one must be "fully vaccinated" or recently recovered to be allowed into public venues in France with the testing option of the old pass gone. Final legislative action in France's National Assembly and Senate underway this weekend to make the Vaccine Pass law. The government's goal was to have the pass in place today (Saturday January 15th). A large crowd in Paris today but others protesting across the country including Pau in southwestern France. It looks to be...

Joe Biden is the gift that keeps on giving. First he promised to make Americans poorer which he quickly accomplished through high energy costs, paying people not to work and inept leadership. Now Joe is unwrapping a brand new plan. Apparently, our el presidente not only wants Americans to be poorer but he also wants us to forget about COVID. It's called misdirection. Don't worry about being sick peasants because very soon you will be starving and quarantined. Clever. Biden recently pivoted from solving the COVID crisis and turned his focus on solving the supply line crisis. Joe thinks that...

Conservative radio host Mark Levin praised a “fantastic” MRC Business study that revealed liberal billionaire George Soros’ massive spending on a new global university network. Media Research Center President Brent Bozell joined Levin on his radio show to dig into the details. Levin told Bozell that the study by MRC Assistant Editor Joseph Vazquez — “America’s Most Notorious Billionaire Leaves His Mark on the World from a $2.3 Billion Education Behemoth to Racial Politics” — was “a great service” to “the nation.” Levin lauded the study’s findings, which exposed Soros’ scheme in creating a massive global university network dedicated to...

Reuters rushed to spin Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla’s recent comments on his company’s vaccine in a so-called “Fact Check” and failed to disclose that a senior executive in the Reuters apparatus happens to sit on Pfizer’s board of directors. Reuters attempted to fact-check a video circulating of Bourla on Yahoo! Finance on the efficacy of his vaccine against the Omicron COVID-19 variant. Bourla made a revealing statement that “two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection, if any. The three doses with the booster — they offer reasonable protection against hospitalizations and deaths,” but “less protection against infection.” Reuters...

Republican state legislatures have, across many states in recent months, passed legislation to roll back some of the extraordinary (and often, unlawful) suspensions of time-honored election integrity safeguards during the 2020 election. To the leaders of the Democrat party, this amounts to a return to the poll taxes, firehoses, and dogs of the segregated South. To Republicans, the two “voting rights” laws would amount to a federalization of elections without precedent in American history. What’s more, it’s a solution in search of a problem. There is no crisis of voting rights in America. As anyone who has tried knows, it’s...

On this episode of The Resistance Library, Sam and David discuss the Battle of the Bulge. When we think about American GIs in the European theater of World War II, much of our image comes from the Battle of the Bulge. Named so because of the distinctive "bulge" shape of the front lines, this is where so many American men laid down their lives on fields of frozen mud in France.

From the beginning I have been a proponent of vaccination for COVID 19. I've gotten both Moderna injections and one booster. That's it for me, though. I'm done. I'm tired of the scare tactics. I'm tired of lockdowns. I'm tired of masks. But those aren't the reasons I'm ceasing vaccinations. It's the data that's bugging me. The definition of fully vaccinated is more fluid than genders. It used to be one or two injections, then a booster became required. Now a second booster is being considered. The vaccination was initially thought to last at least a year. Then a booster...

NBC Senior Business Correspondent Stephanie Ruhle is having a tough few days. She can no longer dismiss skyrocketing inflation as just a minor occurrence that Americans can afford. “KABOOM!” That’s the word Ruhle used to describe inflation spiking an eye-popping 7 percent year-over-year during the Jan. 12 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe. Ruhle stated that the increase was the “biggest yearly increase we have seen since the 1980s” and said, “This is not a good number.” After trying to spin the news by saying that “we have a very good economy,” she then took a detour back to reality: “High...

At a speech in Georgia yesterday, President Biden charged all U.S. Senators with deciding “where they stand, not just for the moment, but for the ages.” The Senate filibuster, which Biden defended passionately in 2005 and again last year, is now apparently a neo-segregationist atrocity because it stands in the way of the president’s legislative agenda. Biden wants federal power to veto election laws in certain states, because he is on the right side of history. Of course this means if you oppose him, you are on the wrong side. “At consequential moments in history, they present a choice,” he...

The left-wing media’s Ministry of Truth — website ratings firm NewsGuard — is at it again, slamming conservative news outlets while promoting liberal rags. And conservative leaders are furious. The firm’s report headlined, “Special Report: The U.S. Best and Worst of 2021,” claimed to “identify the misinformation websites with the most online engagement in 2021 in the United States.” In addition, NewsGuard alleged, “We also highlight a selection of the trustworthy sites that are producing reliable journalism, including for local and niche markets.” NewsGuard had two lists sub-headlined “The Ten Most Influential Misinformers” and “The Ten Top ‘Trustworthy and Trending’...

A new report by The Washington Free Beacon exposed how Amazon, whose web services division nuked the free speech platform Parler reportedly for “violent content,” has been peddling Nazi propaganda films. The Free Beacon said the Big Tech giant “sells and streams more than 30 Nazi propaganda films, according to information from a watchdog group provided to the Washington Free Beacon.” The watchdog group, Americans Against Antisemitism, “found 30 Nazi propaganda films that were available for sale or streaming in their entirety without any disclaimer or editorial content." The group told the Free Beacon that Amazon was "'presently the world's...

One of the hallmarks of democrat legislation is that is usually a wolf in sheep's clothing, i.e., it's always misnamed, and it has nothing to do with helping people but instead it's about consolidating power for the left. Build Back Better was nothing more than a giant tax increase on the middle class, a gross expansion of government, and an offering of big tax breaks (doing away with SALT limitations) for the very wealthy. Build Back Billionaires would be a better name. The current legislative frenzy is HR 1. It is called "Freedom to Vote." Were you aware that there...

Brad Raffensperger sparked a major conversation when he suggested a Constitutional Amendment to ensure that only United States citizens are voting in election, a chat that referenced New York recently allowing over 800,000 noncitizens access to vote in local minor elections. Raffensperger, Georgia's Republican Secretary of State, is up for re-election and targeted Democrats who continuously make claims about voter suppression, rejected that notion and defending his state of Georgia by saying, during an interview on "Face the Nation," the following: "I think that we have shown that Georgia has fair and honest elections..."

With the U.S. Supreme Court hearing arguments about the legality of federal vaccine mandates, a certain Covid Karen at the Washington Post is really irked about something vaguely related: Masks. The deputy editorial page editor and longtime columnist for said periodical, Ruth Marcus, went postal because Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch was not wearing a mask while hearing oral arguments on this matter. Marcus let the world know how upset she was with Gorsuch's maskless heresy on Monday by screeching to the world with this fiery op-ed, "Where was Justice Neil Gorsuch’s mask?"

YouTube’s censorship overlords suspended MRCTV for posting a video that dared to highlight government officials’ garbled messaging on COVID-19 guidance. MRCTV Managing Editor Brittany Hughes’ Jan. 3 video, “Enjoy Your Covid Hysteria, Libs - But Leave The Rest Of Us Alone,” dissected the hysteria surrounding the omicron COVID-19 variant. Hughes remarked that National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci incoherently “says that even if you’re vaccinated and boosted, you should only go out and about if you’re sure that everyone around you is also vaccinated and boosted because omicron is so contagious that even vaccinated and...
