For the past nine months (and thus for most of the coronavirus pandemic), actress Melissa McCarthy has settled in Australia to film a TV series and set up shop in an upscale Australian suburb, so it’s no wonder she’s bashing the U.S. and American citizens for having rejected science with some (read: Trump supporters) responsible for “hatred” and “violence”

President Joe Biden has signed a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill that gives money to almost everyone in the United States and every major Democratic electoral constituency.

Over the weekend, Mumford & Sons lead guitarist Winston Marshall committed the unpardonable sin of endorsing conservative journalist Andy Ngo’s book unmasking antifa. The woke mob raised a ruckus, and Marshall’s own bandmates appear to have bought into the specious claim that any opposition to antifa agitators somehow makes a person “fascist.” “Over the past

Gee, who could have predicted this outcome from the rapid dismantling of the disincentives against border swarming? The US currently holds 30% more minors in adult detention centers under Joe Biden than at any time during the Trump administration, the Washington Post reported last night.

On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow unabashedly conceded that after four years of a Republican president, “I’m getting cattier and pettier with each passing day.” Maddow spent over five minutes of her opening monologue gushing about President Biden and his debt-raising, $1.9 trillion Coronavirus-relief bill.Alluding to then-Vice President Biden’s conspicuous excitement at the signing ceremony for

More than 1,000 people have written to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), demanding the organization retract and apologize for its smear campaign against working-class victims of a 2018 racial discrimination hoax at Smith College.

It’s Grammy Awards week so what better way to celebrate than for a member of a popular English folk-rock band to come in the crosshairs of cancel culture?

Can’t remember who it was but a few days ago a Twitter pal quipped that “The era of ‘the era of big government is over’ is over.” After several rounds and trillions of dollars spent in COVID stimulus under Democratic and Republican administrations, with even Mitt Romney pushing plans for novel forms of UBI, that’s

Recent academic studies have placed the combined tangible and intangible costs of all crime at between $690 billion and $3.4 trillion a year.

The Department of Homeland Security has chosen a most odd time to take down the F-word and ACAB-festooned fencing and jersey barriers protecting the federal courthouse in Portland.
