Twitter often proves itself to be the pungent cesspool of humanity. As Democrats released their doomed bill to add four seats to the U.S. Supreme Court, bringing the number of justices from nine to 13, Twitter users loudly complained about Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. The argument goes something like this: Republicans

A bipartisan bill that would provide $100 billion for technology research to address competition from China could build support for some of the initiatives in the $2.3 trillion infrastructure package, according to the Wall Street Journal.

At least on camera, CNN hosts Brooke Baldwin and Don Lemon have a longstanding friendship as the two tend to get wasted during the network’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. But things may be on the rocks since Baldwin lashed out at CNN as she’s set to be forced out, claiming the network was unwelcoming to women. But

If you saw a movie with a storyline depicting what’s being done to America under the auspices of a “global pandemic,” you’d give it an enthusiastic thumbs down because the plot was hopelessly implausible. No one would ever believe that the government in 2021 would pressure Americans with immunity to take an experimental vaccine—1850, maybe,

President Joe Biden, who just established a commission to study the impact of expanding the Supreme Court, once said that packing the court was a “bonehead” idea.

Roughly two months after banning Project Veritas, Twitter has permanently suspended the investigative outlet’s founder James O’Keefe. O’Keefe’s ban comes after Project Veritas released undercover video of a top CNN executive bragging about helping Joe Biden win the presidency. “Look what we did, we got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it,

I don’t know about you, but I really very seriously need this week’s “Five O’Clock Somewhere.” We started this podcast a year ago, with the idea of providing a little relief from the lockdown blues. But I’m over those and hope you are, too. Now, however, the Biden Blues is what’s wearing me down. As

Joe Biden signed executive order (EO 14023) on April 9, 2021, which establishes a “Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States.” Biden has signed a total of 39 executive orders so far per federal registry of executive orders.

CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta seems to have been impressed by the opinion of the former CDC director Robert Redfield during an interview with him in March when he stated that the COVID-19 virus most likely leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. So impressed, in fact, that Gupta appears to believe that it has shaken the

Joe Biden announced that all U.S. troops in Afghanistan will withdraw and a nice, neat, symmetrical ceremony will be held on September 11 to mark the occasion. This will end the longest, costliest (in dollars) war the United States has ever fought. The 2,500 troops and 1,000 special forces, plus mountains of their equipment, will

At one point in time, Americans were rugged individuals who thought for themselves. Today, well…. “I’m a Marine so I’m not really worried about anything. I’ll take the shot if they say it’s good for me. If Dr. (Anthony) Fauci says take the shot, I’ll take the shot. I trust the science,” Paul Doucett told

The New York Times thinks it knows how its great rival, the Wall Street Journal, can boost its readership and improve its strategic position in the realm of big media: It should become more like the New York Times. That’s the message from an extensive article by Edmund Lee in the latest Times “Sunday Business”

Late Tuesday afternoon on Deadline: White House, MSNBC host host Nicolle Wallace teed up far-left charlatan, journalism professor, and MSNBC contributor Jason Johnson to double down on his latest cri de coeur that not only should police be defunded, but they should be abolished entirely (and ostensibly leave the public open to attacks from criminals without consequences).

David Petraeus, the former commanding general of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, fears that the cost of pulling the remaining 3,500 U.S. troops out of Afghanistan could be a terrorist attack against the United States in the near future. Defense One reports: “I understand the frustrations very much that have led to the decision,” said Petraeus.

While the media is constantly accusing the right of being domestic terrorists, left-wing extremism is routinely ignored by the media. A Democrat congresswoman’s cry for policing and prisons to be abolished should make the news but as often is the case, it was ignored by ABC, NBC and CBS. Following the fatal police shooting of

It’s almost impossible to overstate the importance of chipmaking to America’s national security. From computer networks to networked jet fighters to missile defense, everything we rely on to deter or win wars with near-peer opponents like China runs on silicon. For decades, America had Intel producing the world’s fastest computer chips, giving us a leg

Pro-life groups are accusing the Food and Drug Administration of “ignoring the science” by removing restrictions that prevented abortion drugs from being delivered by mail.  The Susan B.

“Listen to the scientists!” the left has screamed during the entire pandemic. “But not those scientists!” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) blasted Google and YouTube for censoring a March 18 COVID-19 roundtable discussion with several doctors, and then held another roundtable discussion with those same doctors. The March 18 video included Dr. Scott Atlas, a

On Tuesday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommended a “pause” on the administration of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine because six of the 6.8 million people who took the vaccine have experienced a “rare & severe” type of blood clot.
