The U.S. has secretly upgraded the National Guard’s training program for Taiwanese troops as concerns over China’s designs for the self-governing island continue to mount, Nikkei reported. The training, not previously known, began some time before the spring of 2022 in attempt to increase the island’s deterrent effect against a possible Chinese invasion and improve U.S.-Taiwan cooperation,
The crew at CNN En Español´s Directo USA took the White House’s strategy of saying “as little as possible about the handling of President Biden´s documents” to heart. The subject garnered exactly 21 seconds of airtime after which anchor and correspondent whined over House GOP committee assignments. “At the White House press conference, where the
In 2015, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the landmark case Obergefell v. Hodges. Gay rights groups applauded, but many conservative voices worried about the consequences. Some argued that legalizing same-sex marriage was a slippery slope that would lead to polygamy. It turns out that the slippery slope we should have been worrying about was
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released nearly 3,000 illegal immigrants from custody after they were affected by a data leak, an agency spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The late November accidental data breach involved the leaking of names, birth dates, nationalities and detention locations of approximately 6,000 illegal immigrants, according to ICE. The
Looking for information on “pregnancy”? Google’s got just the website for you: America’s largest baby-killing organization, Planned Parenthood. MRC Free Speech America researchers analyzed Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo search results for the word “pregnancy” in a “clean environment.” Researchers performed the analysis the day before the 50th annual national March for Life in Washington, D.C.
In the Washington Post Personal Finance section, there’s a helpful guide on “How to prepare financially in case of a debt ceiling crash.” It’s not quite as useless as “duck and cover” during a nuclear war, but it’s close. This is just the beginning of what promises to be about six months’ worth of doom-and-gloom

On Tuesday, New York magazine published a looooooong hit piece on what a horrible boss Elon Musk supposedly is at Twitter yet the biggest revelation was its admission that it favors censorship. This admission by the authors Zoë Schiffer, Casey Newton, and Alex Heath appeared in “Twitter’s staff spent years trying to protect the platform
Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is often a man of contradictions, and his recently voiced disapproval of the World Economic Forum (WEF) is no exception. Musk made excellent points about WEF, which has clearly published its elitist, authoritarian, woke goals and beliefs, and his comment that WEF is a sort of “unelected world government”
A recent rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) could classify millions of gun owners as felons should they fail to comply with the updated requirements, according to gun rights advocacy groups. The rule will force pistol brace owners, many disabled, to register their pistols as short barrel rifles (SBR) with the
Karma’s a b***h. Or, more appropriately: live by the sword … On Jan 14 local media reported that a drunken 32 year-old Carlos Alonso tried stealing a statue of St. Michael the Archangel. During the process he fell on the statue’s sword injuring himself. It’s really hard not to laugh about this. Supposedly, Alonso went
From where I sit, Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal is worse than Donald Trump’s. But we know he’ll never be held accountable. The only good thing about that is that it makes it harder for the Biden administration to go after Trump — and we should probably get used to the idea that this is
When Joe Biden was Vice President in the Obama administration, was he given a Top Secret security clearance? Given the embarrassing and derogatory comments Obama has made against Biden, top clearance may not have been given to him, VP or not. It’s interesting that with the Trump secret documents situation, the Archives Department knew of
It was only bound to happen. After days of coverage of the Biden classified documents scandal in which President Joe Biden presumably jeopardized U.S. national security by leaving them in his unsecured garage for years, ABC’s World News Tonight joined both CBS Mornings & CBS Evening News in moving on Wednesday by providing zero coverage of the
On Friday, the United States and its NATO allies will meet at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany to discuss aid for Ukraine. It’s going to be one of the most significant of these monthly meetings, featuring each country’s military chief and civilian defense secretary. For Ukraine, victory may come down to what’s decided during
“Perfectly aligned.” That’s how Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, while meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday in Washington, described his country and the United States. The alignment may not be perfect — President Joe Biden publicly referred to disagreements when greeting Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday — but the relationship
Brian Stelter sighting! The former CNN host resurfaced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to moderate a panel on crushing “disinformation.” He made it sound like a European version of his old show Reliable Sources, asking his fellow leftists how they manage a world in which Donald Trump is still proving that “lying
(Reminder: all of the podcast episodes are now in the Kruiser Kabana section of our shiny new podcast page. I will be doing little teaser blurbs here and/or in the Morning Briefing for each new episode.) Because we live in the dumbest of times, leftist idiots have infested some institutions that can’t afford that kind of nonsense, like
If an economist sees the handiwork of God in the economy, does that invalidate his economic arguments from a secular perspective? The great economist Ludwig von Mises, who himself was either atheist or agnostic, noted that: “Many economists, among them Adam Smith and Bastiat, believed in God. Hence they admired in the facts they had
SYDNEY – Last July, the U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley, visited Jakarta where he said China’s military has become significantly more aggressive and dangerous over the past five years. While the U.S. has seemed fixated on China’s growing verbal threats and military maneuvers around Taiwan, Milley and others, including some in Australia,
Last year, the Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, which not only sent the radical pro-abortion left into hysterics, but it also set the stage for a new pro-life movement to emerge. Contrary to the narrative of the pro-abortion left, abortion wasn’t outlawed in the United States — the issue was merely sent back
Retail sales fell 1.1% in December, unadjusted for inflation, with consumers cutting back spending in almost all sectors except food, clothing and hobby stores, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau Wednesday. Consumers pulled back spending most aggressively on gasoline, furniture and cars, which saw sales flag by 4.6%, 2.5% and 1.2% respectively, the
The bombshells from the Twitter files keep on coming, yet the liberal media elite keep ignoring them. Last month when Tesla founder and Twitter owner Elon Musk began tweeting out former Rolling Stone editor Matt Taibbi’s explosive reporting on how Twitter (under pressure from government agents) suppressed the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in
As the author of a book called The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama, you can imagine how often I’m asked questions like “are you going to write a new version about Joe Biden?” It happens quite regularly, as you can imagine. And in many ways, it is understandable. Though I still
Seemingly every day, there are news reports and political commentators repeating economic fallacies that should have been dead and buried long ago. Unfortunately, these misconceptions are often taken by the public to be true at face value, typically because their frequent repetition has given them an unwarranted sense of legitimacy. It is in fact all
On Tuesday, Fox News’ Special Report covered the dangerous pro-criminal “criminal justice reform” bill that was vetoed by Washington D.C. Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and subsequently overridden by the Democrat controlled council. In the so-called reforms, crimes warranting “mandatory minimum sentences will be invalid except for first-degree murder and those behind bars who’ve served 20

Parece que Telemundo seguirá dando batalla en la Gran Guerra del Latinx tras criticar a la gobernadora de Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders por prohibir el uso de la palabra inexistente en documentos oficiales, si nos dejamos llevar por el informe ridículamente unilateral que subió al aire el viernes por la noche. El informe ofreció las
