We have an editorial up on the travesty of trying to pass an amnesty via reconciliation. Two points we didn’t get to. The Left cites as precedent a 2005 budget bill that passed the Senate under reconciliation containing an immigration measure. But this provision was cited as a potential violation of the Byrd rule (page 66

Never bashful, Miami mayor Francis X. Suarez didn’t mince words.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell seems to believe his place these days is out in the street on his knees, surrounded by a howling Black Lives Matter mob, while confessing his privilege and begging forgiveness for being white.  Which is fine.

It took the Joe Biden government nearly a week, but it finally — under some pressure — admitted that the Cuban people are rising up against their communist government. Take a look.

While we whine about public school curricula, history and politics are going on without us. In the course of the last year and a half, over half a million Americans who may otherwise have lived died after contracting a virus that (we can now admit) was likely leaked from a U.S.-funded Chinese research lab.

Thursday marked the 25th birthday for the leftist extremist network known as MSNBC. Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson, a former MSNBCed himself, decided to wish “the Hutu radio network” a very happy birthday by looking back at some of their highlights, including the hiring of the “emotionally stunted, agoraphobic baseball card collector who wore

On Thursday, Vice President Kamala Harris explained why the Biden administration’s profligate spending and big-government solutions take a devastating toll on Americans. In a joint press conference with President Joe Biden, Harris touted the administration’s child tax credit payments, but in doing so, she unwittingly strengthened Republicans’ arguments against her. “Every month, American families need

Forbes magazine arguably published one of the worst hot takes trying to spin the abysmal report showing consumer prices skyrocketing at record paces in June. Following the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) monthly release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showing dangerous inflation, Forbes released an absurd story headlined, “There Is No Inflation: The

Remember when Trump ran in 2016 and cited his business expertise as proof that he would hire “the best people”? Well, he shot himself in the foot over that because while he may have often hired the best people, there were plenty of not-so-great people as well. Trump’s biggest mistake was letting people into his

Just Shut It, Dems This was inspired by some experiences in my personal life this past year. One of the most wearisome things about modern-day Democrats is that they are under the ridiculous impression that their political opinions confer some sort of moral superiority to them. via GIPHY For the most part, they are tedious,

There’s nothing worse than when you’re having a bad day and come back to your car to find a parking ticket on your windshield. Except, maybe, if that ticket was for $100,000, and you got it for parking on your own property.   That’s what happened to Sandy Martinez, a resident of Lantana, Florida. Teaming up

Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom is set to lift nearly all of his country’s COVID-19 restrictions on July 19.

Former President Obama caused outrage for traveling the world and literally bowing to the leaders of lesser nations. But late Tuesday, President Biden went lower by inviting the United Nations’ so-called Human Rights Council (which is infamously loaded with human rights abusers) to come to America and bash us as racist. And even though Biden

Ah, history is made yet again in our budding United States Socialist Republic. Hollywood has nominated its first ever biological male in a top Best Actress category. And, no, this wasn’t some third rate awards show, like the BAFTAs or BET Awards, or even the SAG Awards. ‘Twas the primetime Emmys that pushed this gender-destroying, reality-bending boundary.

Central banking is a lot like central planning: It’s based on the notion that a very few people have all the knowledge and wisdom necessary to make fundamental decisions about a national economy and all the people who function in it.
