Politicians do nothing unless there is a direct personal benefit to their actions. To believe they are genuine and have sacrificed personal gain to serve the people of their districts is the thinking of a fool. I thrive on being that fool sometimes. When I see Jim Jordan, John Kennedy, and Ron DeSantis, I have

A federal court judge denied YouTube’s motion to dismiss former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the platform. Reclaim the Net reported that the court denied Trump’s motion for a preliminary injunction on Wednesday but granted YouTube’s motion to stay the lawsuit until the appeal in his lawsuit against Twitter is decided. United States District Court

It’s easy to climb on a high horse and say, “Who cares about people who overdose on fentanyl? They shouldn’t take drugs anyway.” But first, consider two things: people, especially young people, tend to get bored when their government closes the schools, playgrounds, and everything else over a virus that roughly 99% of Americans will

(Editor’s Note: The years from 1991 to 2001 are known as “The Lost Decade” in Japan. After years of rapid growth in the 1980s, the Japanese economy fell into a prolonged slump marked by persistent, high unemployment, low growth rates and erratic monetary policy. (See “The Lost Decade” for additional information on this.) In recent

The headline in The Atlantic read this way: “The DOJ Must Prosecute Trump.”  The authors, Establishment lawyers one and all, want Trump criminally prosecuted because of the “evidence” presented by the nakedly partisan, Democrat-run January 6 Committee.  This is the popular theme in today’s media, a guessing game of will-he-or-will-he-not be prosecuted. But there is infinitely

The transgender craze that has swept the world seems to have no limits. If you’re a man and you think you’re a woman, sure — go for it. If you’re a woman and you think you’re a man, give it a shot! If you don’t think you’re a man or a woman, who are we

President Joe Biden has declared he will “end fossil fuel.” Presidents have declared war on everything from poverty to drugs, but his declaration is much more sinister. His is really a civil war. The combatants are heavy-handed bureaucrats harassing fellow countrymen who want to do nothing more than fuel their car, cool their home, or

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi took his Saturday show on the road to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to cover that state’s new pro-life law in the new post-Roe era.

Incarcerated men in Washington, D.C. pitched ideas for combatting the area’s high violent criminal activity to government authorities and scholars, according to The Washington Post. Male prisoners at Southeast D.C.’s Correctional Treatment Facility participated in a two-month LEAD Up! educational program generating crime-prevention methods, the outlet reported. Local officials, including U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia M.

Hmm. Now why would a reporter on a liberal network preface his criticism of the Biden administration’s handling of the Brittney Griner/Paul Whelan case by stating, “sorry to say it?” On today’s Morning Joe, senior NBC international correspondent Keir Simmons discussed the potential swap of Griner and Whelan for a Russian arms dealer. Simmons noted the criticism

Many of you have accused me of having a crush on Ron DeSantis. But the real question is: WHY DON’T YOU?  Are you watching this man? Have you seen him in action? This man fights, and I can’t get enough of him. Tune in to this week’s podcast where I drool over a show of executive

Chinese military exercises in and around the Taiwan Strait are backing up supply chains and highlighting what could be a considerable additional burden to global shipping if hostilities broke out between China and Taiwan, according to France 24. China launched its largest-ever military drills around Taiwan on Thursday in and around some of the world’s

Since she performed an abortion on a 10-year-old Ohioan rape victim, Indiana abortionist Dr. Caitlin Bernard has become something of an icon to the post-Roe pro-abortion movement. New Day co-host Brianna Keilar interviewed Bernard on Friday morning to voice her opposition to Indiana’s pending abortion bill, despite the bill containing exceptions for cases of rape,

Joe Biden declared monkeypox a public health emergency on Thursday, sparking fears of a return to COVID-like restrictions on the population. As PJ Media’s Athena Thorne previously noted, “authoritarian politicians and bureaucrats are having a tough time giving up the dictatorial powers afforded them by the Great COVID Powergrab.” The new declaration is a potential

Women’s employment increased markedly from June to July, but the total number of employed working-aged men actually dropped in that same time span according to a July jobs report released Friday.

In his countersuit against Twitter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk alleges that the company misled him about the number of spam accounts on the platform. Insider, which obtained a copy of the countersuit in advance of the October trial, reported Thursday that the 146-page countersuit claims Twitter misrepresented its user metrics to Musk and his team.

Despite the fact we are in a technical recession (sorry, White House, it’s true), the economy exceeded expectations in the latest jobs report. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly report, the economy created 528,000 non-farm jobs in July.

On Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that payments given to Hunter Biden from China and other countries could be considered a “malign foreign influence” campaign. On Thursday night, all three evening network broadcasts ignored this admission from the FBI Director. Only Fox News Channel’s Special Report covered Wray’s comments. 

Just the other day, I was with my son while he was watching a kids’ show on Netflix. He’s recently gotten into dinosaurs and has been into watching Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous while I happened to overhear one of the young female characters expressing that she had a crush on another girl. We’ve known that LGBTQ

Michael Ramirez Ramirez, who studied premed at the University of California, Irvine, originally considered journalism a hobby. But he was hooked when his first cartoon for the college newspaper, lampooning candidates for student office, had the student assembly demanding an apology. “Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative. They should stir passions

With Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban speaking at CPAC in Texas on Thursday, CNN ran a segment on Thursday morning’s New Day which took Orban’s recent controversial comments that “we do not want to become peoples of mixed race” and ran with them, heavily implying that Orban would unleash a second Holocaust on the world

In 2016, Dick Cheney supported Trump after previously expressing skepticism that he was a genuine conservative, even accusing him of sounding like a liberal Democrat. Heck, I understand why he was skeptical. I was skeptical of Trump back in 2016. Despite this past support, the former vice president cut a campaign attack for his daughter,

Members of a CNN panel had a meltdown Thursday over the success of candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump in Tuesday’s Republican primary elections. “I’m called a RINO every day and I’m the crazy tea party guy,” former Republican Rep.

Thursday’s CBS Mornings followed yet another segment extolling Kansas voters for defeating a pro-life referendum by similarly cheerleading leftist spending in Congress through the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” and fretting that Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) “could torpedo the whole plan.” “Well, a bill covering other big elements in the Biden agenda could be close to getting

If you are a fan of the original trilogy or the prequels, sorry to say, but Star Wars is over for you. Star Wars used to be about hope and family. It followed the adventures of Luke Skywalker or Anakin Skywalker. “It’s still…you know…basically [just] don’t kill people, and be compassionate,” said George Lucas, Star Wars

President Biden hosts a roundtable to garner support for Joe Manchin’s bill that shoves $80 billion taxpayer dollars into the IRS, hikes taxes on pretty much everyone, will push the nation deeper into recession, and spends hundreds of billions of dollars on non-performing Democrat-aligned pet projects.

(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.) Voter suppression is insidious and it does exist, just not in the way that Democrats say it does. After
