Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky visits armed forces in the Donetsk region, Ukraine, October 14, 2019. (Ukrainian Presidential Press Service / Handout via Reuters) President Biden came to office promising to support U.S. allies, including Ukraine, and stand up to Russian aggression in Europe, but he’s alienated Ukrainian pro-democracy and anti-corruption advocates with his failure to

On Saturday’s PoliticsNation show, MSNBC again showed its hostility to pro-lifers when host Al Sharpton allowed a guest to ridiculously liken opponents of abortion to “suicide bombers.” Here’s the full quote: “ What it reminds me of quite honestly is a suicide bomber, someone who feels like they have the right and the moral duty to mess up somebody else’s life
Kathy McCollum, the mother of 20-year-old Lance Corporal Rylee McCollum, who was killed in the ISIS-K attack at the Kabul airport last week, blasted Joe Biden on Saturday when she called in to The Wilkow Majority on SiriusXM. “My son was one of the Marines who died yesterday,” McCollum told host Andrew Wilkow. “20 years and
In 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, James Madison—who is often referred to as the Father of the Constitution—described the Senate as “a necessary fence” which would protect “the people against their rulers” and from “the transient impressions into which they themselves might be led.” George Hoar, who served as a senator from Massachusetts from 1877
In a week full of jaw-droppers from the Biden administration, this ranks right up there. “The Taliban and Haqqani Network are separate entities,” @StateDept Spokesperson. 🤦🏻 pic.twitter.com/XpCTn68mfH — Ihsanullah Tipu Mehsud (@IhsanTipu) August 27, 2021 What’s worse is that I have no idea if State Department spokesman Ned Price is gaslighting us or if the
You can tell just how perfectly The Washington Post fits into the White House publicity apparatus when it posts articles proclaiming that they have Fox News reporter Peter Doocy exactly where they want him. He is a “useful foil,” reports Philip Bump, and he’s easily foiled. Peter Doocy is a useful foil for the White
The only good terrorist is a dead terrorist, although sometimes it’s nice if you can extract some actionable intelligence from them first. But only sometimes. With that in mind, let’s applaud Presidentish Joe Biden for ordering the strike — or having been instructed to order the strike — that killed an ISIS-K “planner” late on
David Clements, who was a professor at New Mexico State University (NMSU), has been let go from his teaching position after resisting the authoritarian mask, testing and vaccine mandates at his school and from his state’s governor, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Over the weekend, the Liberty Loft brought to you the story of Clements’
A doctor holds a stethoscope in the Intensive Care Unit at the Melun-Senart hospital near Paris, France, October 30, 2020. (Benoit Tessier/Reuters) Please understand, dear readers, that when assisted-suicide advocates promise strict guidelines to protect against abuse, they don’t really mean it. The promise’s purpose is to get the law passed, not to be kept.
Imagine a world in which a professional athlete – in peak physical shape — could be ridiculed and punished for not taking an experimental vaccine for a disease with a minimal death rate. Sounds too ridiculous to actually happen, right? Well, not exactly. Bills wide receivers Isaiah McKenzie and Cole Beasley already been punished by the
Joe Biden met with new Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett at the White House on Friday for about an hour in a wide-ranging discussion on security issues impacting both nations. Biden said the two leaders discussed “the unwavering commitment that we have in the United States to Israel’s security” as well as “ways to advance

Taliban forces patrol a street in Herat, Afghanistan, August 14, 2021. (Stringer/Reuters) My reader who is trying to get his company’s former Afghan employees out of the country – including one that is a U.S. green card holder – has no good news in his latest update. (See here, here, here, here and here for background on this reader.)
Most Americans have looked at the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and considered it an embarrassment to America. But flagrantly pro-Biden journalists are energetically spinning that everything is quite hunky-dory…right up until Thursday’s suicide bombing that killed 13 Marines and 169 civilians, as they still try to separate human remains. On Wednesday, Eric Levitz of New
Biden has justified his botched Afghanistan withdrawal for a couple of weeks by saying it was time to end the “endless war.” “And an endless American presence in the middle of another country’s civil conflict was not acceptable to me,” Biden said on August 14, 2021. He echoed that sentiment two days later. “I have
On Monday New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the government would be extending its lockdown following an outbreak of the Delta variant. “We don’t yet believe that we have reached the peak of this outbreak, or necessarily the edge of it,” Ardern said at a news conference in the capital Wellington. Meanwhile, in nearby
(Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) Yesterday, Religion News Service (RNS) reported that Dan Darling, an Evangelical pastor and author, was fired from his job as senior vice president for communications for the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) after supporting COVID vaccines. NRB is an international association of Evangelical media companies, and one of its stated purposes is protecting free-speech
In a little more than two weeks, Californians will decide whether to oust liberal Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and install the winning candidate among the more than 40 hopefuls on the ballot. Right now, the leader of the pack to replace Newsom is conservative talk show host Larry Elder, so he’s currently the main target
On Biden’s first day in office, new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki took to the podium and claimed that Biden’s objective was to “to bring transparency and truth back to government — to share the truth even when it’s hard to hear,” She added that “That’s something I hope to deliver on in this

Here’s a sharp Points and Figures post about the political response to COVID. Money quote: “Covid is just not as serious as the politicians are making it out to be. They have another goal. Increase their power. Political entities love power. The Founders recognized that and enshrined people’s rights into the Constitution. It’s worth pointing
Since the news from Afghanistan has been so negative, critics on the Left have tried to suggest the media are far too negative with President Biden. One article in New York magazine even tried to argue “Why the Media Is Worse for Biden Than Trump.” Their questions are tough, but their coverage is still sympathetic. Politico
Ponder that. Tom Joscelyn, who runs the essential Long War Journal, responded in shock at the ignorance. Price has been in federal government his entire adult life, but clearly doesn’t study too closely or read the Wall Street Journal, which only yesterday had an informative news story headlined, “In Taliban-Ruled Afghanistan, Al Qaeda-Linked Haqqani Network Rises to Power.” Within the
I won’t preface this with a ton of color, but suffice it to say that President Joe Biden has attempted, multiple times, to lay the blame for the Afghanistan debacle on the feet of former President Donald Trump. The Associated Press lays out the case that Biden lied. Content created by Conservative Daily News and some content
People are seen inside a Huawei store at a shopping mall in Beijing, China, July 14, 2020.

Reuters reported this week that the Commerce Department
Viewers of Spanish-speaking media in the U.S. have come to expect their daily dose of COVID panic porn. But the new practice of fixating on children as experts on the subject of mask safety, shoving mics into their innocent faces, can only be regarded as a new low in news reporting. As if the above
The last soldier of the Soviet army to leave Afghanistan was Colonel-General Boris Gromov, who marched at the back of a column of armored vehicles across the Hairatan “Friendship Bridge” connecting Afghanistan to the Soviet Union. Presumably, Gromov was not happy with the outcome of that decade-long war. Crossing back into the Uzbek SSR, he
Fox News TV host Tucker Carlson recently aired a 17-minute segment of moral outrage toward people who want to bring large numbers of Afghan refugees to the United States in the wake of the recent collapse of the Afghan government.
