China Doesn’t Need a Trojan Horse – It Has Joe Biden.

Most people are at least vaguely familiar with the story of the original Trojan Horse. According to legend, sometime around the 12th or 13th century BC, Greece and Troy were at war. The Greek army was unable to breach the defenses of the heavily fortified city of Troy, so it devised a plan.

Night Cap: Bidenomics – Better Than Abysmal is Still Miserable

“Bidenomics is working!” At least that’s what Joe Biden and his administration tell us every chance they get, citing cherry-picked statistics to prove their point.

Another Desperate Gambit by Democrats

We like to think of judges as learned arbiters, thoroughly knowledgeable in the finer details of the law and, above all, eminently honest and fair – nonpartisan and unbiased. That’s especially true of Supreme Court justices.

Corrupting the Federal Government – One Department at a Time

Joseph Robinette Biden is a corrupt politician. At least that’s what a recent survey suggests. A poll by Trafalgar Group indicates that more than half of American voters believe Biden and his family are guilty of influence peddling – receiving payments from foreign countries aimed at influencing national policy decisions. Less than one-third of voters …
