COVID is a scab that keeps on bleeding

It wasn't the coronavirus pandemic that drove apart the country. It was the bureaucratic class. So it's good news to hear that Sen. Rand Paul has introduced legislation to break up the health bureaucracy that gave us Anthony Fauci; that gave us an Anthony Fauci who wielded COVID like a sword.

Vance sent shock waves with a speech in Munich that called out Europe, and more specifically Germany, for censoring dissenting political viewpoints and keeping out conservative ideas from the tables of political debate.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slipping into obscurity, irrelevance

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mocked border enforcer Tom Homan for saying she may be "in trouble now" for coaching illegals how to avoid deportation, and on social media, she wrote, "MaYbe shE's goiNg to be in TroUble nOw." Here's a woman who could benefit from eating more fish.

Democrats out themselves as corrupt by crying at USAID cuts

Where the money transfers go, there will the secrets be revealed. Chances are those who are currently crying the loudest about investigations into USAID are the ones who have the most to hide. Innocent people don't generally need to conceal their actions.
