How many times do we have to see Democrats fail miserably at governing before people stop putting them in power? Say what you want about Donald Trump’s unconventional style but he not only got things done, he proved to be far more competent at the job than anyone predicted. Despite the most hostile media in

(Illustration/Dado Ruvic/Reuters) “If you don’t like Twitter,” goes the popular refrain, “don’t try to control it with the government, go and build your own.” I agree with this. That’s exactly what disgruntled consumers should do. But it is too much to ask that, if and when they do, they aren’t mocked for it? Axios has

Editors’ note: The following is adapted from remarks that were delivered at The American Conservative’s annual gala, held on October 7, 2021 in Washington. The American Conservative magazine is one of the most important publications of our time, and I want to congratulate you on your success and give you my best wishes for many

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell testified in Congress. He said that the inflation we are experiencing today is not transitory. Rather, he said that the high inflation will last well into next year and perhaps longer. Shockingly, he said he is only “considering” acting more quickly to reduce inflation. Recently Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen agreed. 

Illinois State University is getting hauled into court for intolerance. Former assistant football coach Kurt Beathard is suing the university that fired him in 2020 for removing a Black Lives Matter poster from his office door and replacing it with a Christian-themed “All Lives Matter” sign. Filed in a U.S. District Court last Tuesday, Beathard’s lawsuit claims he

Joe Biden’s approval ratings have been in the toilet for three months now. The mainstream media was hoping that the signing of the infrastructure bill would change his fortunes, but it hasn’t worked out that way. Last week, the media was gushing over a slight bump in his approval ratings in certain polls. For sure, Biden’s

Musk had said, “Or you could be the first to test my time machine.” I had landed right in the middle of the 2024 presidential campaign. It had been a hard run for the Democrats. After a harrowing primary season featuring several hundred candidates left voters confused, the party simply started listing potential presidents on

In this installment of our weekly Sunday Six conversation, PF Whalen and Parker Beauregard of The Blue State Conservative comment on six takeaways regarding the most recent Covid variant: The Omicron Variant.  #6: It’s clear that Democrats and their media desperately want Americans to be fearful of all things Covid.  PF: I don’t know what’s

In “How the G.O.P. Became Saboteurs, Threatening a Government Shutdown,” New York Times columnist Paul Krugman used the averted federal government shutdown to launch his usual partisan lunacy, untethered to reality. In Friday’s edition, Krugman claimed today’s GOP is even worse now than in the days of (gasp) Newt Gingrich. This time, Republican obstructionists aren’t

Dr. Anthony Fauci says that officials “feel bad” about slapping a travel ban on seven African countries, now that the omicron variant has been confirmed in several other countries. Fauci explained that, at the time the travel ban was imposed, not much was known about the omicron variant and the administration felt it was better

The current troubles that America is having with expensive oil, gas, and soon, costly electric and natural gas sources of home heating, have nothing to do with America’s ability to provide our own sources of power, because the Trump administration had made America free of dependence on foreign sources of fuel by allowing petroleum companies

Nothing is more awkward than a media reporter trying to report on his or her own media outlet, and Brian Stelter looked very awkward on Saturday night reporting on Chris Cuomo’s sudden Saturday firing. “Yes, Chris Cuomo, one of the most popular anchors at CNN, one of the best-known names in television news, violated journalistic

Does anyone look at Rachel Levine and really think he’s no different than a biological woman? It is true that the trans movement has become so pervasive, and dare I say “trendy,” that things that would have seemed like absurd parody twelve years ago are becoming a reality. Under the banner of “gender equity,” for

Stephen Colbert inside the White House press-briefing room, July 27, 2007 (Larry Downing/Reuters) On Thursday, The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert launched a diatribe against Roe v. Wade’s potentially imminent demise at the hands of the Supreme Court. Pointing to statistics showing that Americans oppose overturning Roe, Colbert said: “So if it is this unpopular, why

There have been a lot of suggestions that overturning Roe v Wade would absolutely destroy “women’s healthcare.” The radical left has fought to protect Roe v Wade, but this is probably the best chance of it being overturned since the landmark case was originally decided. The radical left said that if Donald Trump continued to

Scratch a liberal and find an authoritarian. The latest evidence of this has come as the Mississippi abortion law reaches the Supreme Court. And right on cue, the lefty media types quickly stood up with anti-democracy rants. The problem, you see, is that the Mississippi law was passed by — oh the horror! — the

I don’t blame the Biden administration for trying to put a positive spin on the state of the country. That’s basically their job … accentuate the positive, give people hope that things are getting better, all that stuff. But, boy, are they bad at it. And I mean, really, really bad. Over the summer, the

To say that the political class in several states has become completely devoid of reality where COVID is concerned would necessarily be the understatement of the millennium. With six states still clinging to the pseudo-science of mandating masks, one state is seeking to make masking permanent. Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington all

On her Saturday morning MSNBC show The Cross Connection, Tiffany Cross seemed to imply the possibility that Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO) might shoot a Democrat congressman, further illustrating the dangerous and toxic levels of rhetoric some in the liberal media will stoop to in order to ensure their audiences hate their fellow Americans. Interviewing House Democratic

Democrats have tried twice before to insert an amnesty provision in their Build Back Better bill, most recently in late September. The House version of the bill includes language that would provide temporary protection from deportation and work permits to illegal aliens who entered the U.S. prior to January 2011. That would cover about 6.5

It’s that time of year again, the time when Americans consume more than ever, but also the time when Americans give more than ever. Indeed, America’s generosity as a whole is actually quite extensive, with Americans giving $471 billion in 2020, an all time high. That’s more than what the vast majority of countries bring

The New York Times Book Review sometimes softly interviews celebrities for its “By The Book” feature, allowing them to boast of their love of the published word. For this Sunday, the celebrity was Bette Midler, and the gushy headline was “Bette Midler Is Still in the Thrall of 19th-Century Novelists.” The drawing of her was also

Democrats have a history of not thinking things through when it comes to changing rules or establishing precedents. In 2013, Senate Democrats, led by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, nuked the filibuster for lower-court judicial nominees to stop the GOP from blocking Barack Obama’s nominees. Democrats were not above using the filibuster the same way

Despite numerous international organizations demanding verifiable proof of tennis star Peng Shuai’s well-being, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation her safety will always be at risk. “Until the communist regime falls, Peng is probably going to remain under custody in China,” Gordon G. Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” told the DCNF.

The toughest part of Jen Psaki’s White House briefing is dealing with respectful hardballs from Fox’s Peter Doocy. On this episode of the Podcast, our briefing specialist and Managing Editor Curtis Houck discusses how Doocy made Psaki’s spin this week just too lame to take seriously.  It is that time of the year that it’s
