The global protestors are not furious over the 1 million Uighurs brutalized by the communist Chinese government. Neither are they concerned about the Turkish government's indiscriminate war against the Kurds or its serial threats to attack Armenians and Greeks. It is oblivious to the modern gruesome Muslim-on-Muslim exterminations of Bashar al-Assad and Saddam Hussein, the Black September massacres of Palestinians by Jordanian forces, and the 1982 erasure of thousands in Hama, Syria.
The data is in a new poll by the Pew Research Center: When asked in 2017, 54% of those surveyed said that whether one is a man or woman is determined at birth, while 44% said it can be different. In 2021, the number saying sex is determined at birth ticked up to 56%. In 2022, it grew to 60%. This year, 65% of those surveyed said it is determined at birth, while 33% said it can be different. But, even among Democrats the number who say sex is determined at birth has grown over the last seven years, while the number who say it can be different has shrunk.
There must be a cheaper way to buy an Election. Washington's awash in debt right now – and Joe Biden thinks we need more of it. Just 17 years ago the "Subprime" Mortgage Crisis torpedoed the economy, sent the financial markets into the biggest tailspin since the Great Depression, and millions of Americans lost their jobs. One of the matches that lit that bonfire was Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae offering generous, taxpayer-guaranteed mortgage insurance to risky borrowers. Well, here we go again.
It’s not every day that the National Rifle Association and the American Civil Liberties Union can celebrate a shared victory. But with the recent decision from the U.S. Supreme Court in National Rifle Association vs. Vullo – unanimous, by the way, and penned by Justice Sonya Sotomayor no less – Americans of every political stripe can celebrate, big time. If you can believe this, the ACLU represented the NRA in a 1st Amendment challenge to the N.Y. Dept. of Financial Services – AND, free speech was on the docket.
The five criminal & civil prosecutions of Donald Trump have all prompt heated denials from Democrats that President Biden & Democrat operatives had a role in any of them. But Biden's long let it be known that he was frustrated with his own Dept. of Justice's prosecutors for their tardiness in indicting Trump. So not surprisingly, it only took a few hours after the verdict was read for Biden to start blasting his rival as a "convicted felon." Its past time for the Democrats to drop this ridiculous ruse of Biden's White House "neutrality."
A former soap opera actor recently was shot and killed in downtown Los Angeles. He interrupted thieves attempting to steal the catalytic converter from his car. In response, a Democrat L.A. City Council member -- there are no Republicans -- blamed the automaker for failing to make the catalytic converters harder to steal. Councilwoman Nithya Raman said: "In this case, one of the things that infuriates me is that we have a company -- whatever, Toyota -- who makes the Prius, that essentially has a device on their cars which is super easy to remove."
One day, when unbiased, non-woke, not-in-the-tank-for-the-Democrats historians appear again in our nation, they'll draw apt comparisons between former President Donald J. Trump – before, during, and after the sham show-trial forced upon him by the Democrat machine seeking to keep him off the ballot – and the likes of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Hancock. While some may find that a stretch, it is not.
The regime media’s spasms over the NYC Kangaroo Kourt Konviction – and the free media’s backlash against it – reaffirms the new information reality. Conservatives must understand this is not the same media environment most of us Republicans grew up in. There aren’t just three networks, AND there aren’t just a couple basic cable news channels. A powerful, pro-active conservative media strategy is a necessity. The regime media must be not just neutralized, but actively defeated. This is them and us walking in – and only one of us walking out.
Masked left-wing protesters were unashamedly and virulently antisemitic. Students on elite campuses especially showed contempt for both middle-class police officers tasked with preventing their violence and vandalism as well as the maintenance workers who had to clean up their garbage. Mobs took over buildings, assaulted Jewish students, called for the destruction of Israel, and defaced American monuments and commentaries. When pressed by journalists to explain their protests, most students knew nothing of the politics or geography of Palestine, for which they were protesting.
By any normal standard, Alvin Bragg failed his duties as District Attorney by flagrantly distorting the process to manufacture 34 felony charges to file against Donald Trump. Yet by today's prevailing standards on the left, he's faithfully fulfilled his duty by rigging the Criminal Justice System against the man they so desperately hate & fear. Their recklessness now further undermines American's faith in the U.S., while their alluring idea of defeating Trump continues to prove illusory. It involves becoming the most powerful political leader in the Free World.
Bigotry with a smile is still bigotry, and Biden has been marinating in it since the days when he used to let black kids pet his leg hair. From calling Barack Obama “clean and articulate,” to insisting it is impossible to go into a 7-11 in Delaware “without a slight Indian accent,” Joe has a long list of racist quotes, and that’s without even mentioning his opposition to school integration because he didn’t want his kids going to school in a racial jungle. Still, Democrats insist Joe is Jerry Maguire – “I’m ‘Mr. Black People!’”
In the South Texas Congressional District I represent – which includes the largest stretch of U.S. Border covered by any member of Congress – Joe Biden’s pro-amnesty policies have turned our lives upside down. Dangerous, violent gangs like "Tren de Aragua" have infiltrated American Communities nationwide, and lethal narcotics are poisoning our children. Three years ago these small Border Cities were low-profile, and now they dominate the headlines. They want to feel safe again.
How many unarmed black men did the police kill in 2019? Fifty percent of Americans thought police killed 1,000 or more, while 8% thought police killed 10,000 or more. What did those who self-describe themselves as "liberal" think? Thirty-nine percent thought the police killed 1,000 or more, and 5% thought the police killed 10,000 or more. The actual number, according to the Washington Post database, was 12 – and the police kill more unarmed whites than unarmed blacks.
What’s the point of acquiring American citizenship when Illegal Aliens have more rights than citizens? The best part of being illegal is, you can commit a violent crime – and LITERALLY get away with it. Yet another illegal immigrant – released into the U.S. after crossing the border illegally – has been arrested in Florida and charged with Sexually Assaulting an 11-year-old girl. He's facing multiple charges, including Sexual Battery on a person under 12 – but here's the kicker...
According to weirdos, Donald Trump’s likely return to the White House will usher in an age of fascism unprecedented in American history, which is odd since a Trump presidency was recently precedent in American history, and that interregnum of constitutional governance brought us our only respite from nascent fascism – as defined by people who know what fascism is – in the last fifteen years or so. We heard this in 2016, too, and in 2020 as well.
NBC News has reported that Joe Biden’s aides and campaign advisers want him to shorten his remarks at public events – to refocus on quality, not quantity. But most Americans only see the president’s handlers making sure Mr. Magoo doesn’t sound as bad as he is. Even shorter speeches aren’t going to save Joe Biden. The man's a serial liar. If he doesn’t drop a whopper, he sounds like a man with dementia. At the NAACP dinner in Detroit last night, he was again aloof & dishonest.
President Biden's not so much an octogenarian, as he is an unhealthy and prematurely aging 80-year-old. It is an America irony that he's fit for almost no other job in the country, other than the presidency – which apparently allows for a 3-day-a-week ceremonial role while others in the shadows run the country. So how does Biden become renominated and reelected, as polls show he's behind in almost every critical swing state on nearly every issue? The Answer: Not by Campaigning.
People often ask, "How do you handle mean, vicious people when out in public?" The truth is I rarely encounter nastiness – it does happen, but thankfully, it is pretty rare. In general, when people don't like me, they possess the maturity to restrain themselves from verbal road rage. I conduct myself the same way. At a restaurant, I said hello to a host of a left-wing cable show, and he politely returned the gesture. After all, I dislike Hamas, the Taliban and drivers who fail to use their turn signals much more.
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is urging university leaders across the country to do some "serious soul searching." Good advice. She should start with her own soul. Shafik has the wrong idea about the purpose of a university. She and likeminded college presidents are turning preeminent universities into factories, churning out social activists who are adept at shouting down their opponents, squaring off against cops and vandalizing buildings – but who acquire little knowledge and few reasoning skills during college.
Could a second Biden term be more injurious to the economy than his first term? It seems unimaginable given the first three years gave us 20% inflation, a $2,000 loss in average real incomes for the middle class, 6 million added illegal immigrants, a war on American energy that has caused gas prices to rise by more than 40% to $3.64 a gallon, the collapse of our many major cities, another $6 trillion added to the national debt, the unaffordability of new homes, and the chaos on college campuses.
