A woman reads a book to her children in Budapest, Hungary, January 28, 2020. (Bernadett Szabo/Reuters) Under the Democrats’ COVID bill, most American parents will be receiving $3,000 per child this year, or $3,600 for kids under six. The money started going out last month; it’s paid in a combination of regular installments and a

Media Research Center President Brent Bozell, in conjunction with the Free Speech Alliance, joined 10 other conservative leaders in demanding the International Fact-Checking Network remove PolitiFact as a fact-checker for violating IFCN’s Code of Principles. More than 40 conservative leaders have signed on to the open letter led by the Free Speech Alliance and MRC’s

Afghanistan is an unmitigated disaster. Joe Biden is down hard in the polls as a result and the media are turning decisively against him. Even CNN ran a lengthy segment Wednesday after Biden’s much-delayed speech in which a Democrat congressman flat out said that the August 31 deadline is arbitrary and there’s no way the

The Biden administration needs to expand operations allowing for the safe passage of American citizens and allies in Afghanistan, a veteran and national security council staff member under former President George W. Bush said on Tuesday. U.S. officials should work to expand the perimeter around the Kabul airport so that Afghan allies and stranded Americans

The Washington Post Company headquarters in Washington, March 30, 2012 (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) David’s piece on the home page rightly points out that the backlash against humor columnist Gene Weingarten — for dissing all Indian food in a sweeping, misinformed, and rather silly statement — was more than a little overheated. The dust-up followed a familiar

Apparently, the end of a tribe that pulled out still-beating human hearts from living victims as human sacrifice is a real bummer. At least, it is according to the CW’s comic book show DC’s Stargirl. In the episode, ‘Summer School: Chapter Three,’ on Tuesday, August 24, Stargirl Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) mourns the fact that the Aztec

The Washington Post has accused The Daily Wire of spreading misinformation about the COVID vaccine by posting real news. The Post accused The Daily Wire, TMZ, the Epoch Times, and Breitbart of sharing news to “misleadingly” attract views to its platform. The Post cited an article in which The Daily Wire reported on NFL star

Joe Biden evacuated our military from Afghanistan before he evacuated American citizens. Biden left millions and millions of dollars in military weapons, equipment, and aircraft behind. Biden is poised to leave thousands of Americans behind, too. But according to the Democratic Party, Biden is doing a fantastic job. In fact, Biden has “defied expectations” and

Russia has steadily decreased the supply of natural gas delivered to Europe over the last few weeks without explanation, according to an industry analysis reviewed by CNBC. The decreased natural gas exports occurred shortly after the U.S. and Germany agreed to the completion of the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which will transport gas from

Justin Trudeau gestures to a crowd in front of his campaign bus in Cornwall, Prince Edward Island, Canada, August 22, 2021. (John Morris/Reuters) In Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal, Rondi Adamson humorously wrote about Justin Trudeau’s penchant for gendering innocuous phrases, in this case turning “recession” into “she-cession.” Not for the first time, Trudeau appears to

This might be a surprise — if you want traditional “hard news” served up in an efficient 30-minute package, the best place to find it may still be one of the Big Three evening newscasts, where more than 70 percent of the typical broadcast fits the definition of old-fashioned reporting. And, compared to cable news,

The former leader of three American spy agencies thinks it’s perfectly appropriate to joke (heh, heh)  about sending President Trump’s supporters to Taliban overrun Afghanistan because some don’t want the Covid shot. That’s a real knee slapper, General Michael Hayden. The left-leaning former head of the National Security Agency, former CIA director, and former deputy

Crowds outside the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, August 23, 2021 (Asvaka News via Reuters) My reader who works for a contractor in Afghanistan, and who is desperately trying to help his former employees dodge Taliban death squads and get out of the country, offers another update. (See here and here for background.) He reports some

As America witnessed on Monday, the Biden White House was determined to play ludicrous games with rhetoric and attempt to gaslight the American people who already didn’t trust them. The epitome of this display was featured in the White House press briefing where Press Secretary Jen Psaki got into a spat with Fox News correspondent

It did take Joe Biden long to woefully pivot from his, how shall we say, “historic” foreign policy nightmare back to the Left’s favorite topic after Trump: COVID-19. Hot on the heels the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine for people 16 and up, Biden, probably relieved to be talking about anything that does not

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan falsely claimed during a White House press briefing Monday that the Trump administration had not processed a single Special Immigrant Visa for Afghan allies since March 2020. While no Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants were interviewed at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul from March 2020 through the end of

Press Secretary Jen Psaki holds a media briefing at the White House, August 11, 2021. (Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters) White House press secretary Jen Psaki called it “irresponsible” to say that Americans are “stranded” in Kabul, contradicting reports from Americans stranded in the Afghan capital city, members of Congress attempting to help them, and comments by Biden

The torrent of public commentary triggered by the Census Bureau’s new report on race and ethnicity instructs us less about the fine points of demographic change and more about what’s on America’s mind in the year 2021. The report in question, “2020 Census Illuminates Racial and Ethnic Composition of the Country,” presents a wealth of

The liberal media is kicking Biden’s liver-spotted behind over this Afghanistan stuff, and even some Hollywood A-listers are denouncing the president’s disastrous pullout of the country. Angelina Jolie, the legendary Hollywood beauty, newest Marvel superhero movie star and famous humanitarian, christened her brand new Instagram account on Friday by lamenting the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan generated in

It wasn’t long ago that the media had created a narrative that would persist throughout the 2020 presidential campaign. To save the country from four more years of incompetence and chaos, the country needed to elect Joe Biden. “America has a stark example of competence vs. incompetence before its eyes,” wrote Forbes contributor Will Jeakle

The U.S. Capitol Police said Monday that it would not take any action against the officer who shot and killed rioter Ashli Babbitt on Jan 6. “USCP’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) determined the officer’s conduct was lawful and within Department policy, which says an officer may use deadly force only when the officer reasonably

President Joe Biden arrives to discuss his ‘Build Back Better’ agenda at the White House, August 12, 2021. (Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters) It is early to predict the political fallout from the fall of Afghanistan, or to project the 2022 midterm elections. It is even still a little early to draw hard conclusions about what will happen

Has your woke child outgrown Ibram X. Kendi’s Anti-Racist Baby? Are you looking for more social justice propaganda to cram into their little skull full of mush? You are in luck – Pulitzer Prize-winning race-baiter Nikole Hannah-Jones is coming out with a 1619 Project children’s book just in time for the holiday season! That’s right!

A Slight Programming Change… This was supposed to be the second episode of “Faith Week” here on the Kabana but my scheduled guest Jon Gabriel had something come up the morning we were supposed to record. He will be joining me sometime in the coming week. As Joe Biden’s train wreck of a week played

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks during a news conference at Jones Beach State Park in Wantagh, N.Y., May 24, 2021. (Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) “If you want a friend in Washington,” the old saying goes, “get a dog.” So too for the swamp of Albany. But it appears that the loyalty of man’s best friend only

My dad moved to Cincinnati from a small farm-and-factory town in central Ohio. His parents both worked for the post office. For entertainment they would listen to the Reds on the radio, or take folding chairs and go watch the one train that came every day and see what interesting cars were hooked up and

Is there anything funnier than CNN complaining about “over the top” negative coverage? On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter came rushing to Joe Biden’s defense, complaining about hyper-critical coverage of the fiasco in Afghanistan. You could never be critical enough of Trump, and Biden should be granted a wide berth. Stelter began: STELTER: Everyone

It’s amazing how just a few weeks of fearmongering has increased the amount of masking by the public. In trips to the supermarket and other public places over the past month I have witnessed the rate of people masking go from roughly 1 out of 20 to about 1 out of 5. People choosing to
