In April of this year, I was eating at a restaurant in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, on the Yucatan Peninsula when there was a shooting. Although the local media downplays such occurrences to keep tourism numbers up, they are actually quite common, especially in a large drug market such as Playa. I was sitting there

When “María Fernanda from Univision” took the mic on Tuesday night and asked Vice President Kamala Harris a flattering question to cap off her trip to Mexico, it seemed like Univision’s sycophantic day had taken a turn for the worse. But the truth might be far worse than what it seems. Watch as “Maria Fernanda

He had dropped off a son, Syed, to the hospital, in a terrible state of distress. Now, the email he received from the mental health experts
Get ready for the new spin from the corrupt network media: Kamala Harris, border hawk! After burying the ongoing crisis, ABC and CBS on Tuesday laughably morphed the Vice President into a “clear,” “blunt,” “direct” tough talker when it comes to the emergency. Only NBC offered a different take, shocking viewers by calling out Harris’s
Not all heroes bear yuge flags, but one does. The Deplorable Award goes to Dion Cini, who unfurled a large flag that said, “Trump Won Save America” at Yankee Stadium on May 27, earning cheers and jeers from the crowd. Even better, he wore a body-cam and caught it all on video. Most media outlets
So just what is it about this guy that drew millions upon millions of Americans to vote for him and who continues to support him? Well, it started when he announced his candidacy for President, and for the first time in our history, a candidate spoke of the swamp, the deep state, and how he
New York is going through a bizarre game with school children and masks. Despite overwhelming evidence that schools are not hothouses of coronavirus transmission, and that COVID-19 is not a serious health risk to children, and that the vaccination of vulnerable adult populations is causing an inexorable decline in case rates, school children are still
Loose lips sank ships and caused carnage at sea during the Second World War. But loose lips today—mouthing the Democrat Party and Black Lives Matter police brutality canard—cause carnage in America’s inner cities. Donna Brazile, a Democrat operative, wrote this recently in the Wall Street Journal: As a black woman, I’ve experienced plenty of discrimination…

Every June 6, Americans should take a moment to celebrate the brave men who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, 1944. Americans, Brits, French, Canadians, Australians, and more carried out the most ambitious amphibious assault in history, overwhelming the Nazi defenses and placing a firm foothold in Western Europe to liberate the continent from

(Carlos Barria/Reuters ) In Guatemala yesterday, Vice President Harris begged the people of Central America to stop causing her administration such political problems at the border.

The centralized approach replaces family and community with unionized federal home care workers. The Biden Administration, as part of its somewhat misleadingly entitled “infrastructure” bill, has proposed an enormous $400 billion program to expand home health services, capitalizing on the justified dissatisfaction with nursing homes resulting from the many deaths in them during the COVID
Back in March, President Biden appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the point person to handle the illegal immigration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border. It’s now June and Harris is in Guatemala and has refused to visit the crisis zone and witness it firsthand. But she had little to worry about as NBC was

Facebook’s insane censorship practices have continued for long enough for at least one Republican senator. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) bashed Facebook’s hypocrisy regarding COVID-19 and its origin on the Fox News show Sunday Morning Futures. “[T]hese latest breakthroughs have real consequence because it now is clear that Facebook was operating at the direction of and
Dissenting doctors are punching back. Censorship of information that contradicted the narrative pushed by Dr. Fauci and other government health experts was one of the most horrific features of the pandemic response. Researchers and doctors with broader experience than Dr. Anthony Fauci were censored, attacked, and even threatened in some cases. There were calls to
The U.S. government recovered much of the cryptocurrency ransom payment worth approximately $4.4 million that Colonial Pipeline made to hackers last month, the Justice Department announced.

The events of the last few weeks have shown once again that, despite all the noise and shouting that mark our contemporary politics, what National Review says still matters.

Does the “+” in Disney+ stand for LGBTQ+? If we go by Disney+’s brief history of constantly inserting the LGBTQ agenda into its many shows, the answer would likely be yes. And now the streaming service has featured a lesbian kiss among underage girls (possibly its first) in its “family” sports drama Big Shot that has a
I have been blogging about the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab as the source of the COVID-19 leak since last December 2019. Not only does it seem more likely that the virus came from that lab, but Xi refused to implement a Travel Ban for his Chinese people because of the Chinese New Year —

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote a three-page letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, warning them that the GOP may boycott the 2024 presidential debates unless significant changes are made to the format and the rules.
