For almost a year now, our nation has been gripped by three simultaneous crises brought on by COVID-19—a public health crisis, an economic crisis, and an education crisis. In response to the public health crisis, the United States instituted Operation Warp Speed. This effort resulted in two different COVID-19 vaccines receiving swift authorization by the

Regulations and markets are made for man, not man for regulations and markets. By now temperatures have risen and the immediate crisis in Texas has passed. Five members of the state’s Electric Reliability Council (ERCOT) are resigning; they do not even live in Texas. Ted Cruz is out a vacation, an optics lesson learned at
Proponents of overhauling elections to allow voters to have a backup plan if their candidate doesn’t win went 1-1 at the state level in the 2020 election, but are looking to change how elections work in other states.

Lady Gaga has said her “heart is sick” after the violent theft of her dogs as she confirmed a $500,000 reward for their safe return. Her friend Ryan Fischer, who was walking the pets, was shot in the abduction in Los Angeles earlier this week. The singer posted her first comments since the incident on
The reputation of PolitiFact as an “independent fact-checker” just doesn’t rest on their factual accuracy. It rests on whether their selection of which facts to check demonstrate an ideological tilt (it does). Conservatives were mocking their tweet from Thursday night: Beware of Facebook posts blaming Joe Biden for insulin price hikes. Experts said any recent price changes
When you review the latest congressional favorability poll, it is incredible that Democrats hold the House or the Senate. Rassmussen polled 1,000 likely voters, which means a respondent has voted in the last several elections, and asked them about our congressional leaders, and added Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to see how she compared with Speaker Nancy
Come Monday morning, millions of doses of a third vaccine should be rolling out across America. So far, over a span of more than two months, some 22 million people have gotten both doses of either Pfizer or Moderna. If Johnson & Johnson’s estimate that it can deliver 20 million doses in March proves correct,
CNN has given very little air time to sexual misconduct allegations against Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The network spent less than two minutes out of 48 hours discussing Lindsey Boylan’s allegations against the New York governor and ignored the topic during primetime, Fox News reported.

Serving as just the latest example of Big Tech censorship, Amazon has pulled from its streaming service a documentary about Justice Clarence Thomas, the only black Supreme Court Justice, during Black History Month. Viewers who attempt to watch the critically acclaimed documentary, “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas In His Own Words,” which aims to tell the
On Friday afternoon, FoxNews.com’s Audrey Conklin torpedoed a claim from Huffington Post reporter Matt Fuller that said Congressman Russ Fulcher (R-ID) was under investigation with Capitol Police for having “manhandled” an African-American female officer at a security checkpoint. Worse yet for Fuller and a few other news outlets, the Capitol Police itself released a letter
This month, Planned Parenthood Federation of America quietly released its 2019-20 annual report to little fanfare. Like previous years, both the total number of abortions as well as taxpayer funding increased. Meanwhile, the amount of private funding and active individual contributors decreased—the latter dramatically so. The organization’s super PAC spent $45 million during the 2020
Convicted cop killers Joseph Hurst and Johnny Veal have been paroled in Chicago.

The 45-year-old golf star underwent surgery to stabilise compound fractures of his tibia and fibula following the horror crash on Tuesday. “Woods was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical
On Thursday, the CBS Evening News was the only broadcast evening newscast brave enough to attempt to boast about President Biden’s latest moves on immigration, despite the revelation that he was storing migrant children in shipping containers. After touting Biden’s move to allow asylum seekers into the U.S., anchor Norah O’Donnell and correspondent Mireya Villarreal rushed
On Thursday evening, Senate Minority Mitch McConnell said he would “absolutely” support Donald Trump for president in 2024 if Trump is the Republican nominee in 2024. He made the rather surprising statement on Fox News with Brett Baier on Special Report. McConnell’s relationship with Trump quickly went toxic following the January 6 Capitol riot, which
A good question, especially given their rush to judgment in other cases — even amongst their own colleagues. Ever since Lyndsey Boylan tweeted about her allegations of sexual harassment from Andrew Cuomo, the silence among the same crowd that crusaded against Brett Kavanaugh and hounded Al Franken out of the Senate has been deafening. The New
The FBI is offering a $250,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a Russian-Ukrainian political consultant who was charged during the special counsel’s investigation alongside former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

During a confirmation hearing on Wednesday, responding to a question from Senator John Thune, Biden’s HHS pick Xavier Becerra uttered the lines, “I have never sued any nuns. I have taken on the federal government, but I have never sued any affiliation of nuns.” When I heard this remark, I thought to myself, “It’s just
