As inflation spirals out of control and pandemic-related stimulus runs dry, Americans are increasingly finding it hard to save money. This past April, the U.S. personal savings rate fell to 4.4%. According to data from the U.S. Commerce Department, this is the lowest this metric has been since September 2008, Yahoo Finance reported. “In a
One of the downsides of a 24/7 news cycle is that it allows far more time for media types to fill airspace with bad takes, as was recently the case during Univision’s coverage of the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Watch as Linea de Fuego host Luis Carlos Vélez introduces a debate on gun
I find myself shaken and stricken after the latest mass shooting, the elementary school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, that saw 19 children and two teachers slain in cold blood, more so than I did after other mass shootings in recent years. Part of that is biographical: As an ex-Texan, the son of an elementary school

This weekend, the leaders of France and Germany pleaded with Russian President Vladimir Putin for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine to no avail as Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy each refused to make concessions to their counterparts and end the fighting in the eastern regions of Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor
Joe Scarborough really needs to keep an eye on the programming on his own network, MSNBC. If he did, he’d realize just how absurd was his claim earlier this week that only a “paranoid minority” thinks that there’s any danger that guns could be taken away from law-abiding Americans. Case in point, Saturday morning’s The Cross
Many Americans today cannot explain the origins or reasons why we commemorate Memorial Day, though they know it involves a long weekend and hot dogs. The significance of the national holiday is lost amid the distractions of daily life. It’s often associated more with barbecues, swimming pool openings, and summer weather than any deeper meaning.
It’s hard to know which senator from Massachusetts is worse, Elizabeth Warren or Ed Markey, who recently called the Supreme Court illegitimate and called for packing the court. Markey also said the recent seats that went to conservative justices were stolen. Isn’t this the sort of thing Democrats and the media have called conspiracy theories?
Beef prices are likely to continue rising as U.S. based cattle ranchers continue to shrink the size of their herds. This move is expected to further constrain U.S. beef production in the coming months, the Wall Street Journal reported. Data from the federal government confirms that rising costs for feed and other expenses are encouraging
China and Russia vetoed a recent resolution in the United Nations (U.N.) sponsored by the U.S. that would have imposed new sanctions on North Korea for its continued launching of intercontinental ballistic missiles that can be used to carry nuclear weapons. The Associated Press reported that the vote held by the U.N. Security Council had
MSNBC’s Morning Joe is a show where all of the conversations are typically dominated by main host Joe Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski. Viewers who actually possess some form of sanity are usually subjected to the two hosts constantly ranting, complaining, and crying wolf on the GOP. In general, those poor people who tune in
Catholic Cardinal Joseph Zen appeared before a Hong Kong court Tuesday on charges of “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces.” The charges brought against the cardinal are emblematic of a permanent deterioration in the city-state—one that should prompt the Vatican to reconsider earlier attempts to pursue closer relations with China. While the Hong Kong government

An angry activist got in U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s face at a Houston restaurant after his address Friday at the National Rifle Association convention; the activist had to be restrained before he was dragged out of the establishment. What are the details? The activist asked the Texas Republican for a photo, and the two were
During Saturday’s Alex Witt Reports on MSNBC, Yasmin Vossoughian had a message to any American who wishes to purchase an AR-15: “join the military.” Vossoughian backed up her self-righteous reporting from Uvalde by falsely claimed that the AR-15 is given to members of the military when they enlist. During a segment with Witt, Vossoughian referenced
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has developed a habit of invoking her Catholic faith—and often describing herself as a devout Catholic—whenever she is called upon to discuss her support for the deliberate killing of unborn children. On Jan. 22, 2015, a reporter for CNSNews.com, where I am the editor, asked Pelosi about the humanity of a
The Left is finally being forced to admit the truth about the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. The liberal website The Daily Beast issued a correction in their story which claimed that the laptop was “stolen.” The laptop was never stolen — it was given to the computer shop by Hunter Biden in April of 2019.
The New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays announced on Thursday that they would post information about the ramifications of “gun violence.” One of the tweets included the word “Latinx,” and U.S. Rep.

In the wake of the deadly shooting that took place at a school in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this week, San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler announced on Friday that he will stop observing the national anthem until his sentiments about the direction of the nation shift.

In the anti-gun hurricane that has been the liberal media’s response to the tragic Texas school shooting all week, including calls for sweeping bans on everything from rifles to handguns to shotguns, the eye of that storm seemed to pass over CNN’s The Lead on Thursday as anchor Jake Tapper brought on the founder of
I am so pleased and proud that the first annual edition of the “State of Black America” (Encounter Books), published by my organization, Center for Urban Renewal and Education, in conjunction with the Claremont Institute, has just been released.

This article originally appeared on Canncon Substack. Before I begin, if you believe Uvalde, Parkland, or any of the other school shootings didn’t happen, stop reading. As we all try our best to make sense of another mass killing in the United States, we’re learning more and more about the situation and getting a better
A New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene ad about drug use features a statement in quotes that declares, “Don’t be ashamed you are using, be empowered that you are using safely” — the quote appears to be attributed to an individual named “Florence.” “Fentanyl is a powerful opioid that can be found
Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Nikki Fried, who is competing in the state’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, announced that she signed a pledge in support of banning assault weapons. Prior to making the announcement, people on social media had been expressing disapproval that Fried had not signed the pledge, but Fried said that she
I’m beginning to think the liberal media doesn’t understand what “bipartisanship” means. At least Bob Costas seems to have some trouble with the term, as his Friday morning interview on CNN’s New Day veered off from a fairly grounded discussion of much of the professional sports world’s advocacy for gun control into a string of
True to form, Beijing and Moscow on Thursday again protected Pyongyang from additional international punishment after the North Korean regime’s repeated violations of U.N. resolutions. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield proposed additional sanctions in response to North Korea’s spate of missile launches, which she characterized as “a grave threat to international peace and
