Incoming President Joe Biden has promised to implement the most radical energy and climate agenda Americans have ever seen. With the Democratic party having become an almost wholly owned subsidiary of the radical progressive environmental left while controlling both houses of Congress for at least the next two years and the White House for the next four years, Biden and his climate alarmist ilk have their best opportunity ever to impose the biggest government takeover of the economy since the Great Depression. Fortunately, in the waning days of President Donald Trump’s term, his administration took a series of actions that...

A British police chief has lamented the fact that her leadership team is white, saying it is “not OK that we look like we do”. “If we look at the Chief Officer group of this constabulary, we are half female and have all sorts of other diverse characteristics – but we are all white,” said Chief Constable Olivia Pinkney. “I’m really aware of that and so I’m doing what I can to mitigate in the short term and I have a very detailed plan, which also national policing has as well, to try and shift that balance,” she vowed. “It’s...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Sunday called for Congress to, once again, impeach President Donald Trump. This time, she wants to take things a step further, assuming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) moves forward with scheduling impeachment hearings. "I absolutely believe that impeachment should be scheduled for several reasons. One, of course, our main priority is to ensure the removal of Donald Trump as President of the United States," she explained to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "Every minute and every hour that he is in office represents a clear and present danger, not just to the United States Congress, but...

I’m rarely accused of being the sunny, optimistic type, but I’ll confess that I was somewhat shocked to learn that Raphael Warnock was declared the winner of his Georgia Senate runoff race as quickly as he was. Given the amount of awful background information on the Pastor from his various sermons and public statements, combined with the historic challenges of running a Black candidate in a statewide race in the Peach State, I’d assumed that Kelly Loeffler would have had the better chance of the two Republicans running in yesterday’s contest. And yet, while still close, it was Warnock who...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) promised Sunday to advance racial, economic, and environmental justice during the new congressional term. Pelosi delivered her speech after the House of Representatives elected her to lead the House; however, Pelosi enters the 117th with a slimmer majority, giving her less leverage against House Republicans. Further, Pelosi reportedly failed to secure a majority of House representatives to vote for her for Speaker. To build back better in a way that advances justices in America. Indeed the pandemic has pulled back the curtain on and showing and even worsened the disparities in our society. We must...

President Trump recently replaced former president Obama as the most admired man, according to a poll done by Gallup. Check out what New Yorkers had to say about it. “How could anyone admire this guy, I don’t know, but apparently half of America thinks he is great. So America is not what we think it is,” one New Yorker said. For 12 consecutive years Obama took the title as most admired man, but this year Trump was able to break his streak, which most of the New Yorkers we talked to weren’t happy about.

On Twitter, Chambers identified herself as a “socialist.” “We have an entire private Airbnb house to ourselves,” she bragged in a post that showed her feet at the end of a lounge chair, with the pool and palm trees in the background. On Friday, it is predicted to be 35 degrees where her students live in Chicago, according to Weather.com. In another post, Chamber mugged for the camera from her towel with a caption that read, “Pool life.” WGN noted the CTU “is threatening the possibility of a strike if the district pushes ahead with plans to reopen school buildings.”

USA Today is on the warpath against high schools with so-called racially insensitive nicknames. In separate stories, USA Today pressured Red Mesa High School in Arizona to drop “Redskins” and Robstown Early College High School in Texas to replace the nickname “Cotton Pickers.” There’s a big catch to these stories. Red Mesa is a predominantly Navajo school located on the Navajo Reservation. Located near the U.S.-Mexico border, Robstown is 94 percent Hispanic or Latino. Minorities quoted in the two stories are proud of their schools’ respective nicknames and resist politically correct efforts to erase them.

Actress Alyssa Milano said that people who merely disagree with mask mandates or the efficacy of them are the same people who “think they need an AR-15 for ‘”protection.'” “Anti-maskers are the same people who think they need an AR-15 for “protection”. LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK: A MASK WILL PROTECT YOU *MORE* THAN AN AR-15 WILL,” Milano.

"This vaccine – this pandemic is horrible. I mean, in every way, the lives and livelihoods of the American people are affected by it in a massive way. However, it has also pulled back the curtain to reveal further disparities in our economy and in our society. They have become – come into sharper focus because of the pandemic…" she stated. "Clearly, the disparities in income and equity in our country are vast. We've known that. They've only gotten worse, and the pandemic, again, puts it in sharper focus. And that's why I'm proud to announce the creation of a...

On Thursday’s Morning Edition, National Public Radio touted their Jen Psaki interview with the headline “Biden's Incoming Press Secretary: Briefings Won't Be A Platform For Right-Wing Spin.” As usual, NPR thinks “right-wing spin” is the opposite of their reportage….which is “objective.” Not left-wing spin! Morning anchor Steve Inskeep had asked about how Team Biden would handle Fox, since Obama had a fairly hostile relationship. Psaki pointed out she granted an interview to Chris Wallace, but would never do so for Sean Hannity. But which type represents the Fox reporters at the White House? Psaki insisted she’s no pushover for right-wing...

But let us not allow facts to get in the way of crafting a bogus legacy, shall we? From 2007 on, commentators such as myself and our readers screamed from the rooftops as regards the counterfeit origin story and bona fides of one Barack Hussein Obama. It didn't seem to matter to those enamored of Obama at the time, and even a birth certificate so carelessly crafted that even a junior high school student could have recognized it as a forgery upon cursory examination did nothing to diminish the cult of Obama. Neither the press nor Obama's supposed adversaries in...

Today's identity politics leftists have a different idea for society. Although they speak about wealth redistribution, they try hard to keep that fact their little secret. Instead, their focus is on reducing humans themselves to an indistinguishable blending of race and sex. (The racial blending is interesting because neo-leftists also cling to their belief that the races are entirely distinct, with an immutable hierarchy from dark skin down to light.) The latest example of this new leftist utopianism is something that most of us missed back in March, when we were preoccupied with the emerging virus. On March 3, the...

Bill Gates is now best known as a philanthropist, not the guy who started Microsoft or was the avatar for everyone's annoyance with Windows 95. He's also known for wanting to save us from ourselves. Now, apparently, he wants to save us from the sun. However, while you may have been paying attention to his efforts on vaccination and lockdowns, you may not have noticed that one of Gates' most controversial causes just got a go-ahead: A project that would help block out the sun. According to Reuters, a Harvard University project plans to test out a controversial theory that...

Though he’s overshadowed by the better known social justice warriors of the NBA and NFL, New Orleans Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy is way out there on the far Left fringe. In an interview with ESPN’s black-themed blog, The Undefeated, the veteran NBA coach proudly claimed the mantle of poster boy for white privilege. As the new NBA season begins with declining fan interest, The Undefeated’s Marc J. Spears interviewed Van Gundy, who did not disappoint followers of the SJW, race-baiting ESPN blog. “I’m a poster boy for white privilege,” Van Gundy (in photo above) boasted. “I’ve led a privileged...

Joe Biden's transition team is complaining that Twitter won't transfer millions of followers from the Trump administration to the Biden administration. "Twitter's reluctance to transfer millions of followers from the Trump administration to the Biden administration unnecessarily politicizes what otherwise should be a routine transfer of communication from one administration to the next," spokesman Cameron French told CNN. The Biden team argued the transfer was made from Obama to Trump. However the Obama account had about 13 million followers while Trump has some 60 million. In addition, President Trump's personal account, @realDonaldTrump, over which he will retain control, has nearly...

The faculty at Manhattan’s prestigious Dalton School has issued an unusual hostage demand letter. The school’s students will be at the mercy of substandard Zoom teaching until the entire school – the administration, parents, and students – complies with a length list of woke demands. On the one hand, it’s exquisitely funny to see leftists eating their own, as leftists always do. On the other hand, with cowardly courts positioning the Democrats for total victory in 2021, this is something that should terrify all sane Americans. Here are just some of the demands being made if the kids are ever...

“Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace said on this week’s broadcast of his program that the “fuss” over Jill Biden’s title of “doctor” had not been applied to “Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.” Wallace said, “There has been some criticism recently from conservatives, including some conservatives on Fox News about the fact that First Lady-to-be Jill Biden goes by the title doctor. I wonder what is the Biden’s reaction to that, especially given the fact that so many people over the years — I think of Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King have...

When, last week, we wrote about 56% of Americans stating they would be OK living in a "tiny home", this isn't what we had in mind. But apparently, in L.A., being homeless has its perks. What better way for California to help get its budget crisis under control than to pay for minimalist structures, known as “tiny homes”, to the total cost of $130,000 each, for its homeless. What was once an idea to house the homeless in "emergency shelters" has now - as things do in liberal states - turned into "expensive development projects with access roads, underground utilities...

It circles back to what Wasserman wrote back in 2019, which is that Trump could afford to lose the popular vote by millions and still win re-election. It's just the structure. Democratic states are populous, yes—and they're already reliably Democratic in the Electoral College math. You cannot win by just winning the coasts and the cities, which are Democratic bastions. Hillary Clinton proved that. You need rural voters. You need people who aren't part of the snobby condescending base of the Democratic Party who think people who aren't like them should suffer and die off. Our system requires geographic diversity—and...
