Slouching toward socialism

This week, Americans across the country will start receiving a $300 monthly check per child, courtesy of the federal government.

Teachers unions, media turn on parents protesting CRT

Parents all over the country are rightly outraged that their children are being taught Critical Race Theory in the classroom, with grassroots movements to recall school boards and FOIA curriculums occurring from Loudoun County, Virginia to San Diego, California.

Biden’s ‘door-to-door’ vaccination threat raises privacy concerns

Perhaps it was a senile moment, where President Joe Biden went off script, and undermined the actual policies of his administration. Mr. Biden certainly has had many of them. But perhaps, just perhaps, it was an indication of something more sinister, which will only discourage Americans skeptical of receiving a shot to get one.

Cuomo signs first-in-nation law allowing gun industry to be sued

Following in the Biden administration's footsteps, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo believes the crime spike in his state is a "guns problem," not a "criminals problem," and signed off on legislation that makes the Empire State the first in the nation to allow gun manufacturers, sellers, importers or marketers of guns to be held liable for causing harm to the public.

No, Biden, crime isn’t a gun problem, it’s a progressive problem

President Biden bumbled through another teleprompter speech yesterday, classifying America's crime wave as a gun problem. Sorry, Mr. Biden, the skyrocketing homicide rates in U.S. cities has nothing to do with guns - it all stems from the progressive "defund the police" movement and leftist policies that allow hardened criminals loose on the streets.

Pandemic voter laws shouldn’t become the new normal

State election laws, revised in a rush before the November 2020 presidential election to make it easier for people to vote during the coronavirus, led to systemic distrust in the integrity of our election system.

‘For the People Act’ allows Democrats to register illegal voters

One of the least-discussed elements of the U.S. House-passed For the People Act is how it could potentially allow illegal immigrants to vote in U.S. elections. It's yet another move by Democrats to permanently rig the rules of American elections in their favor.

Bill Maher, Jon Stewart demand end to cancel culture

Late-night comedy has become a bit of a bore. That's why it was so surprising to hear HBO's Bill Maher and comedian Jon Stewart break from the conventional groupthink and challenge their peers to do better, be better, and break out of the politically correct commentary that has rooted itself in late-night monologues during the Trump-era.

It’s time for Pelosi to reintroduce mental-fitness bill for presidents

Last October, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced a bill that would allow Congress to evaluate the mental health of sitting presidents to see if the 25th Amendment -- which articulates that if a U.S. president becomes unable to do his job due to fitness issues, then the vice president becomes the president or acting president -- would and could apply.

Woke universities produce unhirable graduates

Last week, the editor of Christian magazine "First Things," wrote in the Wall Street Journal that he's reluctant to hire Ivy League University graduates because they're too woke and self-important, trained to self-censor and as such followers, not leaders.
