    My parents are in their upper 80s and since the beginning of this pandemic have been wisely isolated in their home, a self-imposed house arrest. That’s close to a year now. Zoom calls with their children and particularly their grandchildren have been a poor substitute for the contact they need. My kids have missed bonding with them, a loss which could ripple through their lives as the years go on. My folks have gone without the greatest joy of their lives, time with family. And the caretakers they need to come to their home have been severely limited. If family...

    WASHINGTON — President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, admitted Wednesday that the US reducing its emissions to zero wouldn’t make much of a difference in the global climate change fight — before pushing domestic manufacturing of electric cars and solar panels in favor of energy production. Kerry’s remarks were made ahead of Biden’s signing of a host of executive actions on Wednesday pushing his $2 trillion Green New Deal-inspired climate agenda.

    During her confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill this week, Biden Commerce Secretary nominee Gina Raimondo admitted Democrats will have to raise taxes on all Americans, including the middle and lower class, in order to pay for President Biden's "climate" agenda."Let me say this, I as governor am deeply in touch with how much increasing bills affect the average American family. Having said that, we do need to meet the climate change challenge and we need funds for improved infrastructure," Raimondo said. "I would look to balance those interests." Last week Transportation Secretary nominee Pete Buttigieg told Keystone XL Pipeline workers,...

    Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is set to travel to Wyoming to urge Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to step down over her vote to impeach President Trump. In a recent interview, Gaetz said Republicans deserve a better leader than Cheney, who is the third-ranking House GOP leader. “Unfortunately, Liz Cheney is just yet another in a long line of ‘America last’ politicians,'” Gaetz stated. “Willing to sell out to the lobbyists, to the military-industrial complex, to the elements in big corporations, big media and Big Tech that were always attacking President Trump.” On Thursday, Gaetz will hold a rally outside the...

    There are two major reasons President Trump should file a writ of quo warranto. One big reason it to attempt to remove Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from office. Perhaps that's why Google, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, and others are attempting to suppress information about it. President Trump has a play he and his team can make to challenge the results of the 2020 election. It’s a longshot, but it doesn’t fall into the realm of shadow-government-military-coup or some of the other theories we’ve heard lately. This one is legitimate, legal, and does not require suspension of disbelief. It’s called a...

    PALM BEACH, Florida –– U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a medical doctor by profession, made an unnerving prediction about masks on Wednesday, saying mandates to wear facial coverings are never going away as long as the political left is in charge. "They will never relent. These people are never gonna let you not wear a mask," the Kentucky Republican told Todd Herman, the fill-in host on Rush Limbaugh's national broadcast. "I promise you, you will never get out from the mask because they're saying that even after all are vaccinated, we don't know, you still might catch it a little bit,...

    With Joe Biden ramping up the greenie ideology, the history of global warming is worth another look. All you need to know to understand that the conspiracy is false is to see that the Earth had a substantial, lengthy cooling period from 1945 to 1975. On the first Earth Day in 1970, after 25 years of cooling, people were scared to death about dire forecasts by "experts," without any scientific data supporting their predictions, that billions would soon freeze and die of starvation because of a new ice age. The media participated in scaring the public. The predictions were 100%...

Instead, it would give power to the people via referendum to allow the right to discuss, debate and vote on creating a...

    The de facto leader of Sweden's right-wing opposition, who three years ago vowed never to work with the Sweden Democrats, has said the anti-immigration party has become more 'serious' in its politics. Speaking on public broadcaster SVT's programme 30 minuter, the leader of the conservative Moderates, Ulf Kristersson, said: "I think the Sweden Democrats' rhetoric has changed a lot over recent years. They have branched out politically and take part much more seriously in parliamentary work." In particular, he said they had been "constructive" during work on the pandemic, law and order, migration and some aspects of energy politics. Kristersson...

    Biden Launches Commission On Supreme Court Reform Joe Biden has quietly launched a commission on “reforming” the Supreme Court, potentially dropping a partisan bomb onto Congress at the same time he’s pleading for “unity and healing.” Politico reports that it will supposedly be bipartisan, but there’s only party demanding changes to the top court’s structure. Republicans will fight tooth and nail to stop any such bill from passing. It might come down to a filibuster fight in which Joe Manchin might finally have to decide whether he’s going to represent West Virginia or Chuck Schumer. This kind of radical overreach...
