White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki attributed the country’s rising crime to gun violence Monday ahead of President Joe Biden’s plans to speak about his “crime prevention strategy.” “I’m not going to get ahead of his comments or remarks later this week, but it is an area where the president feels a great deal of

Here’s a “coming out story” the media won’t be hyping for Pride month. Scott Cawthon, creator of the popular video game franchise “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” (FNAF) has just come out as a Christian conservative after the left-wing cancel mob decided to look up his name on opensecrets.org. The famous video game designer has donated to

The release of the second season of Hulu’s LGBT teen drama Love, Victor targeted two groups with its LGBTQIA agenda: children and churches. The previous season of Love, Victor had glamorized a troubling pederastic scenario in which high school sophomore Victor (Michael Cimino) was ogled and hit on by adult men at a gay bar. The second season,
It seems like Mike Pence has lost favor with some conservative activists these days. And that’s a shame. Even Trump seems to be done with Pence. Earlier this month, he revealed that he would consider a different running mate if he decides to run for president again in 2024. On Friday, Pence addressed the Faith

President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the April jobs report from the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., May 7, 2021. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) Last month’s jobs report missed expectations, even though the May projection had been lowered because of slow growth. Three million people have been unemployed for a year, and it’s
Anyone wandering through media reporting of current events must be struck by the evident insolubility of the most critical national and international issues facing our nation. Let me beg to differ and argue that many such issues could readily be solved with a modest dose of humility from the relevant interest groups. November 20 versus
Former Congressman Denver Riggleman and Jack Rosen, president of the American Jewish Congress, argue that hate speech “precedent” should be used to ban extremism online. In an op-ed for Newsweek, the two criticize Gab, a social media platform that is popular among conservatives, for allowing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to post questionable content on the
Americans are the most productive people on the Earth — and it’s a good thing, too, or we’d have collapsed into ruin long ago. That’s the good news. The bad news is that just because we haven’t collapsed into ruin, doesn’t mean that isn’t the road we’re on. A long road leading right to the
As rapid social and technological changes continue to test our commitment tofree speech andliberal values, a common refrain I have heard is that cancel culture is the “free market at work.” Speaking as an entrepreneur, I couldn’t disagree more. From a pure economic perspective, there is no controversy. Every company makes complex decisions and the
(Lacheev/Getty Images) I couldn’t have been older than seven when I came up with quite the one-liner. A real zinger. One day, I approached my parents and asked them something along the lines of “Why is there a Father’s Day and a Mother’s Day, but no Kid’s Day?” Straight-faced, my mom replied: “Every day is
CNN’s Don Lemon wore his thoughts on his sleeve in Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine feature on him (published online last Tuesday). In more than one instance he vented to reporter Eric Easter about just how racist America and white people were, while at the same time unironically lamenting about how we didn’t show enough grace
As far as I’m concerned, Democrats want voter fraud. They don’t say this, but they consistently act like it. I don’t want to believe this, but they make it increasingly difficult to believe they want safe and secure elections. According to the Democrats, the 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history… but
Americans have the absolute right to defend themselves, America Herself, their states and their communities from the detrimental effects of illegal immigration and the illegal aliens, who are currently flooding across the border in record numbers. Those of us who love this country have the right and the duty to determine who enters under existing
(Sviatlana Lazarenka/Getty Images) The Wall Street Journal has a piece about the Small Business Administration disaster-loan program’s performance during the pandemic, and concludes that it was terrible. The article is interesting and worth a read as it highlights the ordeal that small-business owners went through when trying to deal with the SBA and its process
Linear television ratings are in a massive decline, whether they may be cable, satellite, or over-the-air antenna. And it has nothing to do with the increasing amount of one-sided ideology in a majority of mainstream TV (although it clearly doesn’t help the situation), it has to do with the mass migration towards a la carte
With unprecedented speed, Congress approved and Joe Biden signed legislation declaring Juneteenth a national federal holiday. While there was nothing controversial about this move, as many states already recognized the holiday in some fashion, giving it official national holiday status put many states in the awkward position of having less than one business day to
Joey Biden believes that Americans need to be manipulated and turned in the correct, woke, direction, in this case in the direction of defeating the non-existent threat of warming/change, so he cancelled the Keystone pipeline, announced that he would end federal support of coal power generation by December of 2021, and intends to have gas-powered

And so it ends. On Friday, June 18, 2021 the Rush Limbaugh Show officially shut down the Golden EIB microphone. As it happened, it fell to my local Harrisburg radio host, WHP’s Ken Matthews, to be the last “guide” host that had shepherded the show since Rush departed to give back the talent he had
Remember when Trump was president and it seemed like any time he breathed there was some left-wing group that filed a lawsuit and some left-wing judge who ruled Trump had violated the Constitution? It was seen as some gotchya moment by the left, who were quick to point out these legal challenges and the subsequent
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is launching a new mission on Friday to analyze what parts of its agency have potential barriers for historically “underrepresented and underserved” communities. Mission Equity is an endeavor to look at the agency’s programs, procurements, grants, and policies to examine what challenges exist for minorities who want to join
Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speaks during a rally in St Louis, Missouri, U.S., March 9, 2020. (Lucas Jackson/Reuters) Bernie Sanders has written an essay in Foreign Affairs, titled “Washington’s Dangerous New Consensus on China,” to sketch out the contours of a progressive China policy cognizant of the challenge posed by the Chinese Communist
One way in which journalists try and terrify viewers into endorsing every expensive environmental prescription is to constantly – and wrongly – predict the apocalypse is just around the corner. Fifteen years ago this week, the not-yet-disgraced Matt Lauer did exactly that with a two hour special outsourced to the SyFy Channel: Countdown to Doomsday. (We’re
Many of us with eyes were dumbfounded by the decision to make Megan Rapinoe one of the new faces of Victoria’s Secret earlier this week, but perhaps even more curious than that is why Megan Rapinoe hasn’t been canceled yet after being under fire for a decade-old tweet she made. The offending from May 19,
On Thursday, President Joe Biden signed into law the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, a piece of legislation establishing Juneteenth to be a federal holiday. Juneteenth, recognized annually on June 19, commemorates the date in 1865 on which General Order No. 3 was transmitted by Union general Gordon Granger, declaring the emancipation of all slaves
Andrew Yang is catching flak for this debate answer about letting untreated severely mentally ill people wander the streets, but he’s absolutely right — it’s bad for the mentally ill and bad for the city: Watch: Andrew Yang’s response to a question about how he would handle mental health during Wednesday’s NYC mayoral debate drew
