Will Justin Trudeau don his Indian garb as he bravely leads his troops south over the border to rescue America?

Joe Biden ran for president, promising he would end the pandemic. Given the spectacular failure of this promise, perhaps it’s worth asking the question of whether or not he really wants to. Various government officials used emergency pandemic powers to enact restrictions that they said were to protect us. So we shut down schools, businesses,

For the second day in a row, CNN’s New Day let the newly-elected far-left Manhattan DA off the hook regarding his most radical soft-on-crime policies.  We blogged on Thursday about the show’s segment on Alvin Bragg’s policies.
