The end of slavery in America is certainly worth celebrating, but these federal holidays are getting mighty expensive. Today’s Juneteenth paid holiday for all federal employees comes just as the government is starting to reopen. Most federal employees have gotten full pay over the past year for “working” remotely at home, so a paid holiday

On the world stage, the U.S. prioritizes inoffensiveness above all else. That doesn’t bode well for our mounting rivalry with China. Much has been written now—finally—about the remarkable groupthink fiasco in which America’s elite institutions sought to throttle any inquiry or even just any curiosity about whether the COVID-19 pandemic may have originated from a

Thursday night on MSNBC, ReidOut host Joy Reid did what she does best in not only peddling far-left propaganda, but show her deftness at lying and spewing hatred toward her opponents. And as has been the case for sometime now, Reid continued her crusade against Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) for not supporting the For the

Democrats have given conservatives many reasons to be wary of the Juneteenth push. As I reported on Thursday, President Joe Biden used his signing of the law to make Juneteenth a national holiday to push his radical agenda, specifically his federal takeovers of zoning and election law. Biden has used race to demonize Republicans, fuel his

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Washington, D.C., September 27, 2018 (Tom Williams/Pool via Reuters) Dan McLaughlin has a round-up of the many hysterical claims made by prominent Democrats in the fall of 2020 that Amy Coney Barrett’s appointment to the Supreme Court would mean the end of Obamacare. In response to

During Wednesday’s Late Late Show With James Corden, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom was treated to a softball forum where he could tout the reopening of the state, despite the fact that many small businesses closed forever due to his draconian lockdown policies. When host James Corden brought up over 1.5 million California voters forcing a recall election, Newsom “jokingly” tried to get out of that discussion: “Things were going really well

Who knew that Hunter Biden, who used to try to smoke parmesan cheese because it looked like crack, could paint? Well, Hunter’s exhibit is happening soon and according to reports, his pieces are expected to sell for between $75,000 and half a million dollars each. Really. No joke. Hunter Biden has no background in professional art,

President Joe Biden signed a bill establishing Juneteenth as the newest federal holiday Thursday, two days before its commemoration nationwide. The bill, known as the “Juneteenth National Independence Day Act,” passed the Senate via unanimous consent Tuesday and sailed through the House Wednesday, with just 14 Republicans voting against it out of the 431 seated

Oregon governor Kate Brown speaks at the state capitol building in Salem, Ore., February 20, 2015. (Steve Dipaola /Reuters) Oregon is the third state to legalize the composting of human bodies — called natural organic reduction — as a means of disposition of remains. From the KOIN story: Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed House Bill 2574 Tuesday.

The month of June has been jam-packed with trans-positive propaganda and media sites competing for the honor of ‘most woke.’ Teen Vogue is no exception, and granted the fact that it is targeted at, well, teens, it’s probably the worst of all. Especially with it’s latest interview with Congresswoman Marie Newman and her transgender son.  Representative Marie

Joe Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure, the “American Jobs Plan,” has been touted by the White House as a job-creating engine that will boost the economy into post-COVID overdrive. There’s a problem with calling it the “American Jobs Plan.” It would actually cost the American economy about 100,000 jobs, according to the Tax Foundation. Hundreds of

“Have you ever walked along a shoreline, only to have your footprints washed away? That’s what Alzheimer’s is like,” said famed-basketball coach Pat Summitt. As someone who watched my own grandmother slowly fade away to the disease, I can attest to this feeling. Alzheimer’s Disease is a (currently) incurable neurodegenerative condition that affects 6 million

(CDC/Unsplash) A new research brief from the Institute for Families Studies (IFS) suggests that, judging by several key metrics, children are better off when they grow up in an intact, two-parent family as compared to those raised in single-parent home or in stepfamilies. The central takeaway from the paper is that children raised by their

The Biden administration announced on Tuesday that guys who can’t get laid may be terrorist threats due to “involuntary celibate–violent extremism.” That revelation is part of a new crackdown that identifies legions of potential “domestic terrorists” that the feds can castigate and investigate. But there is no reason to expect Biden administration anti-terrorism and anti-extremism

Following a rather contentious formal press conference with reporters in Geneva, President Biden again engaged with the media just before boarding Air Force One and bitterly complained that they weren’t being supportive enough of his foreign policy agenda. The exchange came shortly after Biden’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin that seemed to accomplish little,

Sometimes it will be fun. Sometimes it will be a cornucopia of intellectual curiosities and fascinations. OK, maybe not so much the last one. Anyway, as this is a

Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law Tuesday banning the government from closing places of worship in Texas. Texas’s HB1239 prohibits “any elected or appointed officer, employee, or agent of the state” from closing a “building or grounds where religious activities are conducted.” The newly signed law follows an executive order Abbott issued last year that

(Augustas Cetkauskas/Getty Images) The absurdity of American higher education is on display at the University of Oklahoma. As we read in this Campus Reform story, a player on the women’s volleyball team has been kicked off because she didn’t agree with the leftist ideology being force-fed to the team. So even athletics are now controlled

Closing out his week-long European trip and Wednesday’s Geneva summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Joe Biden snapped at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday for simply wondering “why” he’s “so confident [Putin will] change his behavior.”  Not to be left out, Biden also tussled with Fox’s Peter Doocy over China when he, like Collins,

What a sad display of lack of leadership from the Democratic Party this past week. While there are lots of radical voices in the party, the blatant anti-Semitism from Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has repeatedly gone without consequence from the party—a de facto endorsement of her bigotry. It was painful to watch Nancy Pelosi deny

Federal Trade Commission seal is seen at a news conference in Washington, U.S., July 24, 2019. (Yuri Gripas/Reuters) President Biden’s newly confirmed commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Lina Khan, was promoted to chairwoman of the FTC today. This was somewhat surprising, and not just because Khan will be the youngest chair of the

It’s no coincidence that the powerful elites who manage our unending crises sometimes turn out to have caused them. Thanks to revelations from Anthony Fauci’s email account, obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests, the American people have just wrapped up a murder mystery in which the helpful butler was revealed to be a cackling

Despite what our biology textbooks tell us, we all just need to accept the fact that sex is not binary. This is what the crazy lefties want, at least. In Samantha Bee’s latest episode of Full Frontal, she espouses one of her most radical ideas, and that’s saying a lot for her. If you didn’t

A pop-up COVID-19 vaccination site accidentally gave patients expired doses of the Pfizer vaccine, and are now saying that these patients must get another shot because the firm that operates the vaccination site “cannot guarantee the effectiveness” of the expired doses.

The COVID-19 pandemic saw a retirement surge in 2020, with more than 3.2 million baby boomers retiring—more than double the previous year. New evidence, however, says a stunning number of Americans are preparing to do the opposite: delaying their Golden Years because of the financial hit they took during the pandemic. “[A] study from Age

I was just reminded that this week would have marked Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s 93rd birthday. It is satisfying to remember that the man who said, “We don’t need proof to execute a man, we only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him,” met his karmic bullet-riddled end at the hands of CIA-trained Bolivian operatives

Four years ago Monday (June 14), a leftist extremist who was a fan of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow carried out a mass assassination attempt against Republican lawmakers in Alexandria, Virginia as they practiced for the congressional baseball game. It was a heinous act that the FBI had only just gotten around

The big three cable networks appear to be working hand-in-glove with Democrats, echoing President Joe Biden’s deceptive attacks on Republican voter integrity laws across the U.S. while ignoring the Democrats’ election takeover via H.R. 1, the “For the People” Act.
