Late Show host Stephen Colbert has been less a late night comedian and more a radical Democrat for quite a while. So it’s not shocking that even Bill Gates wasn’t radical enough for Colbert. The Microsoft co-founder appeared on CBS Monday night to promote his alarmist new book How to Avoid a Climate Crisis.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) (Instagram/Office of Ro Khanna) Why would the ambassador of a country with just 1.5 million citizens feel able to shout at a member of the U.S. Congress? “Because for decades, we have pursued a foreign policy that put their interests ahead of our own,” wrote Trita Parsi, co-founder and executive vice
Conservatives have long criticized the notion of independent executive branch agencies. Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution provides that “[t]he executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America”—not some executive power, but all of it, unless the Constitution explicitly provides otherwise.

According to Kermit the Frog, “It’s not easy being green,” and apparently it’s not easy being The Muppet Show, either. Disney+ just couldn’t resist slapping an offensive content label on the beloved family show. On Friday, Disney+ released seasons one through five of the show which first aired over 45 years ago. But just in case
Joe Biden’s nominee for attorney general gave another reason to oppose his nomination on Monday during questioning from Senator Josh Hawley.

The confirmation hearings for Joe Biden’s Attorney General pick, Merrick Garland, haven’t exactly been informative. (To put it mildly.) Like many nominees before him, Garland is clearly seeking to avoid answering questions on any politically divisive issues that might give some of the senators a reason to vote against him. At least two examples of
This investigation is a continuation of the greatest political Witch Hunt in the history of our Country, whether it was the never ending $32 million Mueller hoax, which already investigated everything that could possibly be investigated, “Russia Russia Russia,” where there was a finding of “No Collusion,” or two ridiculous “Crazy Nancy” inspired impeachment attempts

The war on conservative media is entering a new phase.

M. Joseph Sobran, Jr., was a raging lib. Nobody wants to hear this, but it’s true. The controversial columnist—who would have been 75 today—would have made John Locke blush like a schoolgirl.

Naomi Wolf might be the last true “liberal” in America. I never use the word “liberal” to describe the statist, pro-cancel culture totalitarian left because the word doesn’t fit what they actually are. There’s nothing “liberal” about people who want to control every aspect of your life including how much oxygen you can breathe in
