Joe Biden has a credibility problem, and his White House and Administration have been caught in so many lies in three-plus years that have been chronicled everywhere. With the help of the legacy media, Joe Biden has managed to spin every negative news story, and together, they have gaslighted the American people to the point … Read more
Democrats think JD Vance is weird—I mean, really weird. And what started with Vance has since been attached—by the chattering class propagandist punditry—to the Trump campaign and Republicans in general. It is a 2024 version of deplorable, with a whimsical twist. But is it any less offensive, and does it open them up to attack? … Read more
Look at San Francisco, the previously beautiful city on the Bay in Northern California. Look at Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes and demolished urban areas destroyed by the George Floyd protestors of 2020. Look at these two regions, and you will see the future of America if Kamala Harris and her Vice President running … Read more
Justice Neil Gorsuch just published a book, which confimred SCOUTS appointees are wont to do, but it comes with something they may not all want to do—interviews with the machine media. Justice Gorsuch sat for just such an undertaking with Major Garrett at CBS, who, instead of the “Sound of Music” softball questions (please tell me, … Read more
Bureaucracies don’t bloat themselves, so the more progressive locales across the increasingly fruitless plain like to spend other people’s money with such abandon that they are always looking for new things to tax, like the rain. It happens to be raining where I am, and as I write this. It is unlike what they’ve seen … Read more
A fact of life is that all nations and America is no exception, are sustained with each generation’s coming of age and answering its role of manning their nation’s bulwarks. Although this may include military service, it generally applies to the replacement of the retiring generation in whatever capacity they mastered. This is “the natural … Read more
Last week the national debt reached 35 trillion dollars, a mere seven months after the debt reached 34 trillion dollars. To put this in perspective, the national debt first reached one trillion dollars in October of 1981, almost 200 years after the Constitution’s ratification! The fact that the government was adding one trillion dollars in … Read more
According to the most recent report from the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US economy added 114,000 jobs (according to the establishment survey) during July. This was a lackluster number that came in below expectations, and it wasn’t enough to prevent a surge in the unemployment rate up to 4.3 percent. Moreover, the “underemployment” … Read more
It is important to frame your political opponents in an unfavorable light. Just ask a Democrat. They’ve been doing it so well, and for so long, most of their base is incapable of speaking a single truth about Donald Trump because they don’t know any. Republicans, we hope, are more nuanced and able to engage … Read more
If you ask anyone outside the Biden Administration if Bidenomics works for them, you will probably get a Hell No response. Biden and now, Harris think if they tell us often enough that this economy is the strongest in years and we just need to understand it to appreciate it, it will become a reality. … Read more
Montgomery County is a very woke DC suburb in Maryland that has long suffered the consequences of its proximity to that poised well. The resulting brain damage causes hallucinations, a sense of false intellectual supremacy, and a driving desire to be in positions of authority where access to nearly endless sums of other people’s money … Read more
Google took a massive hit Monday after a federal judge ruled the company violated U.S. antitrust law through its search business, according to a court filing. U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta submitted the ruling, rebuking one of Google’s oldest businesses that the company has spent billions on through exclusive contracts in order to obtain a dominant … Read more

Would it surprise you to know that if you give people free money, they’ll earn less? The National Bureau of Economic Research ran a three-year study that gave poor people a bag of cash every month to see how it would affect their behavior. Guess what happened. We study the causal impacts of income on … Read more
In an unexpected twist of fate that has left political pundits scratching their heads and reaching for their thesauruses, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has stumbled into the spotlight for…not knowing what she does. Yes, you heard it right! In a recent appearance on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Harris found herself in a pickle, trying … Read more
It is impressive how marketing carefully chooses words to mask a situation and give it a positive spin. One of my all-time favorites is Reproductive Rights. It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? In the case of women, Reproductive Rights must involve protecting a female to decide to become pregnant and have children on their terms … Read more
With few exceptions, college campuses are America’s least intellectually diverse places. If not for the federal takeover of student loans, which has laundered billions into the hands of progressive experts, that might matter, as they feel the same pinch as local print-news media—another vestigial cultural affectation we no longer need. You can get news – … Read more
Democrats excoriate Trump and then think that we won’t see Kamala doing the same kinds of things. “So many Democrat voting women, often married, think Trump is untrustworthy because they believe he slept with side chicks. So now they are going to demonstrate how much they hate Trump by voting for the actual side chick, … Read more
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced Friday that his office is investigating ActBlue for allegations of fraud across the state. ActBlue is the premier fundraising platform for the Democratic Party and has facilitated billions of dollars in contributions since 2004. Miyares sent a letter to ActBlue warning the organization that it is now under investigation for collecting suspicious … Read more
Never mind a tough question: can someone please ask Kamala Harris a legitimate policy-related question? It has been nearly two weeks since Harris and the Democrats pulled off the coup of the century, pushed Joe Biden off the political cliff, and made Harris the presumptive Democrat candidate without earning a single vote. In that fortnight, … Read more
