Do Americans really believe that embracing drag-queen shows at military bases, allowing abortion up until the moment of birth, encouraging transgender men to compete in "women's" sports, and the effort to ban the gas-powered internal combustion engine are effective ways to ensure good relations between the United States and our allies? No wonder the Biden White House's new cultural imperialism is proving to be so disastrous.
New York City's mayor can regularly be heard complaining about the strain being placed on his "Sanctuary City" because of the flood of illegal aliens being shipped there by red state Governors. Now Chicago's joining the chorus – Democrat-run localities advocating for open borders who are now choking on their wish. Republican Governors are giving them a big dose of their own medicine, but will Democrats shut it all down?
That's it – they've finally blown it. How could Fox do this to Tucker and their viewers? Their dominance is over. Let's face it: There have been quite a few moments over the past decade when we've all been told that Fox News had blown it, that Fox had finally angered their viewers for the last time... that Fox News was history, and yet, somehow, Fox News continues to dominate cable news.
When they're elected to be our Texas Representatives in Austin, legislators are charged with protecting the weakest & most vulnerable among us – and legalized gambling is proven statistically to harm the Poor & Young Adults the most. Make no mistake, the gambling industry is funded by those who can least afford to lose their money, and who are most likely to become addicted.
The voting machine company Dominion had alleged some of Fox's hosts had either promulgated, or allowed their guests to push, a false narrative that the corporation's voting machines were "fixed" and misreported the vote count in some precincts of the 2020 presidential election.
Though Tucker may have been tossed off his perch at Fox (or jumped – we will eventually get the details on how this all went down), he will land on his feet and crush the libs beneath his preppy Topsiders. The answer to the question “What will Tucker do now” is the same answer as the answer to the question about what the 800-pound gorilla will do: “Anything he wants.”
Economist Steve Moore at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity estimates that a 1% drop in annual GDP growth, due to more & bigger government, has lopped off about $15,000 in Median Family Income. If we'd continued the 3.1% growth, the average American would have some 22% in higher income, Moore says. And now Mr. Biden and his party want a blank check on the earning power of the American people?
It should be pretty clear that raising your tax rates to 70% or 80% or 90% would be an economic killer. Jobs, businesses and people would leave – or the rich would stop investing. We know that every time tax rates have been raised that high, as during the Great Depression and in the 1970s, the economy crashed. Yet on Tax Day this year, about a dozen left-wing millionaires joined some of the most liberal Democrats in Congress for a press conference.
Disney under former and since-reinstated CEO Bob Iger has opted to attempt a not-so-clever end-around that would thwart the will of Floridians, as represented by the Florida Legislature and entrench Disney's peculiar legal arrangement in Central Florida for another 30 years. Try as Disney might, the forthcoming result will be a familiar one: Florida and DeSantis are going to win again, and Disney is going to lose again.
The official faces of the Democrat Party – Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, James Clyburn, Steny Hoyer, Diane Feinstein - are all now transitioning to what is essentially a Socialist-European Green Party. Yes Biden & Company may still be familiar faces, but their final role is to acculturate the American Voters to the new Democrat Party – the party has been changed beyond recognition.
Cancel culture is cancer, but I do love it when it comes to the left. As I’ve said for years, Frankenstein’s monster always returns to burn the castle. Democrats could always rile up a mob, but they couldn’t control it after a short period, and it would eventually consume them too. And it’s happening.
Every schoolkid in America knows – or at least used to know – that the United States has three branches of government. At least that's what the textbooks say. In reality, today we have four branches... because Congress, the legislative branch, has for decades delegated lawmaking authority to an unconstitutional 4th branch of government: Independent Regulatory Agencies. By some estimates, there are more than 300 of them sticking their noses into every aspect of American life.
A Wall Street Journal Poll just revealed a deeply troubling trend for those of us who believe in the traditional values that shaped America's founding and our national character. It shows a significant decline in the importance of Patriotism, Religious Faith & Family Values. This disintegration can be traced to the woke left's relentless attack on the "American Way" and pushing for radical change in the name of diversity & inclusion.
We are now on to a brand new round of Victims: The Democrat politician who's thrown out of office for breaking the rules of the chamber in which they serve. They have quickly supplanted the real victims of Nashville's Covenant School massacre that left six dead, including three children. Kamala Harris even made a hastily-arranged Good Friday trip to Tennessee to give an angry, partisan sermon attacking Republicans – she couldn't be bothered to meet with the families slaughtered by a trans shooter.
After the Texas House General Investigating Committee received a formal complaint that State Rep. Brian Slaton has had an inappropriate relationship with an intern, some of his fellow State Legislators are saying enough is enough. Tweeted one earlier this morning: "What’s most troubling about the events of this story is that his behavior appears to be predatory. He needs to resign. Now!"
This part is not for the based among you. You already know. It is for the not-yet-based who look at this all and sense something is wrong but are unable to articulate it. Let me help. The left never attacks on substance. It instead labels any legitimate exercise of power by Republicans as a moral crisis. Argue about the facts regarding guns? No, it’s all “You want to murder children!”
It’s not a nice thing to say, and it’s not something I relish saying, but you can only do so much to protect people from themselves. You can keep bad people away from good ones, but sooner or later if they’re really intent on being around bad people and things, they will find a way to do it. When that happens, you have to throw up your hands and walk away – and let them deal with the consequences of who they voted for.
We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary -- The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020 -- Hard-left ideologues absorbed it. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support.
We're at the point now where The Left has found itself having to make common cause with freaks – literally – who want kids to watch drag queens and castrate children to cater to their Chardonnay-guzzling mommies’ delusions. Normals are recoiling instead of shrugging – but Hide & Watch... pretty soon one of these pervs will come flat out and say what is so far unsaid. We need to crush them.
All lawyers are ethically required to avoid even the appearance of impropriety in their professional conduct. So a prosecutor who campaigned on finding a way to convict a man – let alone a former President who's currently running for President – of unknown & yet to be discovered crimes is not a close ethical call. New York County's Alvin Bragg will yammer about no one being above the law, but the indictment of Donald Trump will be deemed buffoonery – at its finest.
