The Capitol building in Washington, D.C. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) The Congressional-Executive Commission on China, a bipartisan panel directed by Congress to monitor the human-rights situation in China, released its annual report this week. Among other commendable ideas, this one stands out. The CECC calls for: Protecting any U.S. citizen fired for expressing opinions critical of Chinese
President-elect Joe Biden has revealed a $1.9trn (£1.4trn) stimulus package to help the US get through the coronavirus pandemic. The package includes $415bn for the virus response, around $1trn for households, and roughly $440bn for small businesses and hard-hit communities. Mr Biden said: “A crisis of deep human suffering is in plain sight, and there’s
The U.S. has shipped over half a million doses of antibody treatments that have the potential to keep high-risk Covid patients out of hospitals if given early enough in their infection. This would help already overburdened hospitals avoid additional strain, but the drugs are still being underutilized despite their promising results, Trump administration health officials
How the vapid millennial series Search Party made it to four seasons is basically the biggest case of failing up you’ll see on HBO Max. If people really wanted to see the most obnoxious characters insulting the police and conservatives, they should just stick to Twitter. Instead, we get yet another slam against the right
Aides to President-elect Biden say that he will propose another massive pandemic relief bill costing $2 trillion dollars. It will include $2,000 individual checks for taxpayers. Biden will outline more of the plan later on Thursday, but Senate Democrats are also talking seriously about merging pandemic relief with a completely unrelated infrastructure bill. It’s likely
I know I’ve said this before, but people who didn’t live through this era will never truly understand how bizarre it was. Stuff like Mike Pence assuming Trump’s duties in the final days, with no notice or explanation to the public until he’s suddenly on TV acting like he’s president, can’t really be captured in
Charlotte, NC — There are a lot of things in life that we come to appreciate and love. For some, it’s a favorite restaurant, a favorite vacation spot, or a favorite hobby. For others, it may be a movie or television show. In any case, the Left tells us that none of these things can
1. Roger Severino: Elderly And Disabled People Should Not Be Put At The Back Of The Line For COVID Care One state, using archaic language to refer to persons with intellectual disabilities, would have flatly excluded people with “profound mental retardation” from being given ventilators. Other states placed persons with disabilities or older adults at
A woman who was arrested for her alleged involvement at the U.S. Capitol riots had worked as a school therapist at the Cleveland Metropolitan School District before she quit in order to pursue her mission to expose pedophilia rings in local government. The FBI searched Christine Priola’s home in Willoughby, Ohio, on Friday based on
John Sullivan, the man who was arrested for his part in the U.S. Capitol rioting, was an Olympic speed skating hopeful and appeared in an Uber commercial before he made a left-wing turn in his politics and became an activist. Sullivan appeared in the commercial as a speed skater and aspiring Olympian. It aired in
Pardon me if I laugh when reporters tout that some politician they like is posing as “above the fray.” This fray is something reporters usually force politicians to confront. If they’re effortlessly floating above it, reporters are allowing it. On the day after House Democrats forced through a very rushed second impeachment of Donald Trump,
Hatred is at an all-time high in Washington. Will Congress step in to become the arbiters of truth? “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” was the question used in congressional hearings in the 1950s in what was portrayed as a witch hunt against leftists that blighted American
President Donald Trump on Wednesday became the first president to be impeached a second time. The House voted 232 to 197 to impeach the president, with 10 Republican members joining all of the Democrats. President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is less than a week away, which doesn’t give the Senate enough time to hold a trial
You may recall that during the left wing riots of last spring and summer, Kamala Harris promoted a bail fund to get people who were arrested in the riots bailed out of jail. It’s one of those inconvenient stories that the liberal media loves to ignore. Now the same organization is refusing to reveal the
NRPLUS MEMBER ARTICLE A merican Christianity is and has always been a broad church. The same week that a band of Christian nationalists knelt and prayed before storming the Capitol building — shouting, too, at journalists (with unintended irony) “get the hell out of my way!” — a black Baptist preacher was elected on a
US airlines have put thousands of people on their no-fly lists for failing to wear face masks on board, as security measures are stepped up ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration. Delta Airlines has said it is going to ban passengers from taking firearms in their baggage on flights to Washington DC until the end of

In a Wednesday story for the Daily Mail, New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration sunk to a new low, lashing out like a grade-school Mean Girl at Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean, dismissing her fervent push for answers on behalf of deceased elderly New Yorkers (such as her late in-laws) because she’s no
Impeachment 2.0 started yesterday. While it appears voters in key states would prefer that Congress move on to deal with pressing issues, Democrats aren’t listening. The left has been talking about impeaching President Trump since before he was elected. In May of 2019, Representative Al Green (D-Texas) told America why it was important: “I’m concerned
It’s not even close. The vaccination drive in Israel kicked off on December 19th with Benjamin Netanyahu getting the first shot. Less than a month later, Israel has vaccinated roughly 21 percent of the entire population: Israel leads the world in vaccination rate per capita. It’s been less than a month since its vaccination campaign

Helen Andrews (whose just-published and interesting-sounding book Yuval Levin recently praised in this space) has written an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal titled “When Mob Inciters Become Lions of the Left.” It discusses Aaron Sorkin’s film on the Chicago Seven, making the point that our culture has often romanticized leftist political violence. Helen concludes:
Rudy Giuliani has spoken out to explain what he meant when he suggested “let’s have trial by combat” during a massive rally of Trump supporters before some in the crowd stormed the U.S. Capitol building in a deadly attack on Jan. 6, as Congress met to certify the Electoral College count for President-elect Joe Biden.
The Washington Post reported Thursday that U.S. Secret Service agents assigned to protect Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have been forced to go to great lengths to use the bathroom because the couple forbids their protectors from using the facilities in their home. But a spokesperson for the Secret Service says The Post’s claims were
NBC’s Superstore is an obnoxiously woke show that is, thankfully, in its final season. This year it jumped on the Black Lives Matter bandwagon by calling BLM protests “99% peaceful.” But it took the “systemic racism” propaganda to new heights this week in the episode “Hair Care Products” on January 14. In this episode, the store, Cloud Nine, makes
One is battling a scandal about his relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. Two pushed for removing President Donald Trump during his first year in office. One built a reputation for trolling Trump, while another is the son of a lawyer for the Mafia. The sequel to last year’s Trump impeachment trial will feature a
It is illegal, or at least on paper it is, for the CIA to spy on American citizens on American soil. So why was the CIA spying on Mr. Edward Butowsky and/or Matt Couch? If you have read Joe Hoft’s excellent piece (see here) on the latest trials and travails of Ty Clevenger, an intrepid
Rudy Giuliani, personal attorney President Donald Trump, holds what he identified as a replica mail-in ballot as he speaks about the 2020 election results in Washington, D.C., November 19, 2020. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) Loyalty, to Donald Trump, has always been a one-way street. But even so it’s gobsmacking to read a report (in the Washington Post)
Donald Trump has become the only US president to be impeached twice. He was first impeached by the Democratic-led House of Representatives in December 2019 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over his dealings with Ukraine about political rival Joe Biden. The 45th president was acquitted by the Republican-led Senate last
