Democrats are desperate to end the filibuster. They see this as the key to passing their far left agenda, and they’re right.

The best news I can report at the moment is that spring has been amazing so far in upstate New York. We’ve had a handful of seventy-degree days that have been sublime. We know that we are going to get another snowstorm, or Second Winter, at any moment but while it’s lasting we’re all out

A bisexual, non-binary, transgender woman tore into “transphobic” TSA in a viral video over a TSA scanner that she said sensed an “anomaly between my legs that sets off the alarm.” Montoya said the TSA agent reportedly asked “if I had anything in my pants and I told her ‘no’ and she’s like, ‘Well, maybe
Having written this week and last about the many successes conservative organizations are having educating public-sector union employees about their Janus rights, it’s a pleasure to see that our friends at the Bradley Foundation have, as the star of its most recent “We the People” interview, none other than Mark Janus, who joins his Liberty

A Los Angeles grandmother was stabbed to death along with her dog while out on a walk in broad daylight Thursday afternoon, and the alleged perpetrator was reportedly stopped from hurting others when another would-be victim chucked a rock at the suspect’s face and knocked him out.

The first press conference for President Biden seemed more like a “press massage.” Yamiche Alcindor of PBS told Biden that immigrants were rushing across the border because the perception he’s a “moral, decent man” who can be trusted with unaccompanied minors.

Freeway interchange in Los Angeles, Calif. (Eric Thayer/Reuters) Over at Reason, Walter Olson looks at why building infrastructure has become so much slower and costlier in the United States than it used to be, and than it is in many other developed countries.

A man has accused his former employer of a “childish” move – after he received his final payment of $915 (£666) in pennies. Andreas Flaten discovered the haul of 90,000 coins – which were covered in an oily, greasy substance – at the bottom of his driveway. On top of the pile was his final
The New York Times economist Paul Krugman tried to hoodwink Americans by downplaying inflation concerns brought on by President Joe Biden’s massive $1.9 trillion stimulus package.

This man basically wants you to go back to living an agricultural existence in deference to Gaia, eating only leaves and
Jazz wrote about this mystery on Tuesday and now print media is sniffing around it too. On March 2, Greg Abbott announced that he would lift the state’s mask mandate and reopen most businesses at 100 percent capacity on March 10.

On Tuesday, Washington Post “Fact Checker” Glenn Kessler promoted a very questionable Washington Post article using the headline “There’s no migrant ‘surge’ at the U.S. southern border. Here’s the data.” After an uproar about their border “denialism,” the headline was revised to “The migrant ‘surge’ at the U.S. southern border is actually a predictable pattern.” (In other
Majority rule is a conservative principle. Filibuster reform is possible, but any further restrictions should be cautious. Demands for alteration of the filibuster rule in the Senate are not unreasonable. The Constitution does not require supermajorities for ordinary legislation, but only for matters relating to constitutional structure: constitutional amendments, ratification of treaties, impeachments, expulsion of
