In between was the team's nonstop politicking, from whining about compensation to virtue-signaling their disrespect for the United States. The celebrity face of the team, perennial scold Megan Rapinoe, is going the way of teenage grouch Greta Thunberg, becoming more pinched the more she is tuned out. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Marie Khan-Cullors Brignac used her corporate grifting to buy ...
What Jim Jordan would have said

WHAT JIM JORDAN WOULD HAVE SAID. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously banned Republican Rep. Jim Jordan from the new select committee to investigate the Capitol riot. So when the committee met for the first time on Tuesday, Jordan was nowhere to be seen. But it turned out he was still attending a meeting of a select committee — the select committee on the coronavirus crisis. Pelosi, who said Jordan's presence would diminish the "integrity" of the Capitol riot committee, apparently did not feel he would have the same effect on the COVID-19 committee, of which he is a member. The hearing topic was "Oversight of Pandemic Evictions: Assessing Abuses By Corporate ...
Republicans Crush Democrats In Georgia Special Election

(I guess this is good sign that conservative voters are taking part, which is good, the worst thing is conservative voters stay home and refuse to vote.) After a dismal showing in 2020, Georgia Republicans are finally on the rebound. The vote came back on Tuesday in a Georgia special election held over a seat in the Georgia House of Representatives with a landslide victory for the Republican candidate. In a poll shift that greatly upset Democrats, Republican Devan Seabaugh won a decisive victory against Democrat Priscilla Smith in a crushing result of 26 percentage points, 63% to 37%. In 2020, Rep. Bert Reeves, a Republican, won only by 12% but left the seat to take a job at Georgia ...

“This man was elected president of the United States of America,” Joe Biden declared of Al Gore during a 2013 campaign event when introducing George W. Bush’s Democrat opponent. “There’s no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election, and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016,” former President Jimmy Carter proclaimed during a 2019 panel discussion sponsored by his nonprofit organization. “He knows he’s an illegitimate president,” Hillary Clinton seethed when asked about Donald Trump during a CBS interview nearly two years ago, ...

Angry, and armed, the militiamen in Michigan were gearing up, getting ready to unleash their fury over an unjust government and zeroing in on a target who they believed upended their lives with pandemic restrictions: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. They trained with live assault weapons; skulked around Whitmer’s summer mansion in the dark as they allegedly plotted a wild scheme to kidnap her, even relying on an Iraq war veteran among them for his tactical experience. The June 2020 plot by the Wolverine Watchmen — which authorities claim included the possible use of a stun gun on Whitmer and talk of blowing up a bridge to prevent cops from giving chase — never came to pass, broken up ...

Earlier this week, Michelle Beckley, a member of the Texas House of Representatives, issued a rousing call-to-arms on social media: “My name is Michelle Beckley,” she tweeted. “I’m one of the brave Texas Democrats who came to DC to fight for voting rights in my state.” Supporting voter rights is, of course, a noble cause — but does it really warrant Beckley’s description of herself as “brave”? What could be the cause of such hyperbole? The answer, I suspect, is that Beckley was one of several representatives who chartered a private jet and fled Texas on Monday for Washington DC to break the quorum needed in her state’s House of ...
Biden tells fleeing Cubans to get lost — while flooding the southern border

President Biden is full of compassion for Hispanics fleeing their home countries — with one exception, that is: liberty-loving Cubans. The president is abandoning practically all controls on the southern border. Despite mouthing the words “Do not come,” the White House has adopted policies that send a clear, contrary message: “Cross illegally, and you can stay.” At the same time, Biden is slamming the door on Cubans setting sail for Florida to escape a Communist dictatorship. These anti-Communists aren’t the kind of Hispanics whom Democrats like. Consider the damning contrast: Customs and Border Protection agents on the southern border are literally reaching ...
Stefanik Nails Why Pelosi Is So Afraid of Republicans on Jan. 6 Select Committee Decision

House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik blasted Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday after announcing she would not allow Republican Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the Jan. 6 Select Committee. The two GOP lawmakers were among the five House members chosen by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to sit on the committee. "Nancy Pelosi is a radical authoritarian Speaker of the House. The American people have always known the truth - that the Pelosi partisan January 6th commission was never about investigating the facts, it was only ever about Pelosi's radical politics and the Left's endless obsession with crushing any discussion or debate,” Stefanik said in a statement. “This ...

American support for same-sex marriage continues to increase, even as religious conservatives battle LGBTQ community on other fronts By MARK WINGFIELD 70% of Americans now support same-sex marriage. Bipartisan support for same-sex marriage in America continues to soar forward, even while some state legislatures are attempting to enact a raft of other anti-LGBTQ bills. Having lost their previous crusade against same-sex marriage, religious conservatives now are driving Republican legislative attempts to restrict LGBTQ rights in other ways, especially targeting transgender persons. The venerated polling firm Gallup reports that 70% of Americans now support same-sex marriage, a new ...
Socialism Has Ruined Cuba, And It Seeks To Engulf The United States

To objectively understand what is occurring in Cuba, to gauge how these events are once again affecting the United States, and to put forth a response, one must understand the history of the Castro dictatorship and how America has related to it. The government in Cuba is a self-described socialist-Marxist regime, as proclaimed by Fidel Castro himself. It is a murderous, perennial abuser of human rights. The proof of its 60 years of murder are legion, one of which can be found here. Firsthand accounts of torture and decades-long incarceration in horrific conditions can be found in “Contra Toda La Esperanza (Against All Hope)” by Armando Valladares and “Cómo ...
More parents should fight for, not flee from, public schools

Parents shocked by the racist curricula that their local schools are teaching their children should have every right to take their tax dollars to another institution. But they should also consider keeping their children in public schools and fighting for control of them. When one reads that third graders in Evanston, Illinois, are being taught that “white culture shows up in the way we think about family structures” and that a belief in a “normal family” consisting of “a mom, dad, son, daughter, and pet” just “isn’t true,” the instinct is to take one's child home and find another school. Millions of parents faced with critical race theory ...

Facebook is killing people, misinformation is rampant, and the only people who can save us from ourselves are the all-wise executives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue whose judgment is infallible and whose motives are pure. That’s the message emanating from the White House and the corporate press. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced last week that, due to 12 unnamed people on social media posting what the Biden administration considers to be misinformation, the White House is actively “flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation” and “helping” to “boost trusted content.” Going even further, Psaki said nothing is “off the ...

Most Arizona Republicans say election audit will show Trump won: poll By TAL AXELROD A majority of Arizona Republicans in a new poll said that a partisan election audit there will show that former President Trump won the state’s 11 Electoral College votes instead of President Biden. Sixty-two percent of Arizona Republicans said in a new OH Predictive Insights poll that Trump will receive more votes in the state after the GOP audit is completed. Another 21 percent of Republicans say Biden’s victory will stand, while another 16 percent are unsure. The poll underscores the extent to which Arizona Republicans have been swayed by unsubstantiated claims from Trump and his ...

The Walls Are Closing In -- on Biden! COMMENTARY .By Frank MieleJuly 19, 2021 The Walls Are Closing In -- on Biden!(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) Starting even before his inauguration and continuing right through to the end of his first term, how many times were we told with absolute confidence that the facts had caught up with President Trump and he would be forced to resign or face impeachment? That he was running scared? That the jig was up? Well, the worm has turned, and now it’s my pleasure to announce that six months into Joe Biden’s own first term, the walls are closing in. If he isn’t on the verge of being forced to resign or face impeachment yet, the only thing saving him ...

How often during the last year of wokeness have middle- and lower- class Americans listened to multimillionaires of all races and genders lecture them on their various pathologies and oppressions? University presidents with million-dollar salaries virtue-signal on the cheap their own sort of "unearned white privilege." Meghan Markle and the Obamas, from their plush estates, indict Americans for their biases. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors Brignac decries the oppressive victimization she and others have suffered -- from one of her four recently acquired homes.

The media used to be biased, presenting news that favored the political proclivities of those doing the reporting. However, it has moved far beyond that into advocacy and sometimes outright deception. My personal experience with the media is a window into that change and into the current attacks on conservatives. As I began my career as a documentary filmmaker in the late '70s and '80s, already the conservative complaints of bias were loud and also justified. Bias was easy to spot. Reporters covered stories and were sympathetic to one point of view, call it the "pro" side. So, the story would lead with the "pro" side and end with the "pro" side, ...

NFL says it will play Black national anthem at all games in 2021 by: Janel Forte The NFL says it’s bringing back a lot of elements of social justice messages from last year, including on-field signage and decals on player helmets. Also, the continuation of the Black national anthem “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at flagship events. They say they’re adding in-stadium PSAs as well this year. The NFL says it is an effort to reinforce the league’s 10-year, $250 million commitment to combat systemic racism. Rapper Jay-Z and his Roc Nation label have been advising the league on its “Inspire Change” initiative since last year. Remainder of the article ...

Federal Judge Rules DACA Unlawful, Orders Government to Block New Applicants By Claire Hansen A federal judge in Texas ruled on Friday that the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was illegally created, and he ordered the government to stop approving new applications for the program, which grants children brought to the U.S. illegally work permits and protection from deportation. U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen, however, stayed his order for those already in the program, known as DACA, stopping short of shutting the program down entirely and yanking protections from the more than 600,000 young immigrants who are part of it. The government may continue to ...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is the sixth-richest member of Congress, according to the most recent financial disclosure statements filed in 2019. As the California Democrat has risen through party ranks and obtained more and more political power, her personal wealth has risen right along with it. Pelosi “has seen her wealth increase to nearly $115 million from $41 million in 2004,” reports the transparency non-profit group Open Secrets. Even by the standards of wealth that define that legislative body — "more than half of those in Congress are millionaires” — the wealth and lifestyle of the long-time liberal politician and most powerful lawmaker in ...
Tucker Carlson: Votes Were Doublecounted In Georgia, Hundreds Of Ballots Were "Improperly Duplicated"

TUCKER CARLSON: On a Saturday night in late May of this year, an alarm sounded in a big nondescript warehouse in Fulton County, Georgia. The warehouse was an unlikely place for a burglary. It was under round-the-clock surveillance by both private security and local law enforcement including armed deputies with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. Any unauthorized person entering from the outside would have to get past a locked 100-pound steel door, as well as a maze of motion detectors -- not easy -- but someone tried to do it, anyway and at just the perfect moment, 20 minutes after the deputies in charge of guarding the warehouse left their posts. By the time those deputies returned ...
Democrats face these major headwinds in 2022 elections

History and a handful of issues threaten the Democrats’ narrow congressional majorities in next year’s midterm elections. Even though President Joe Biden’s job approval ratings remain solid if unspectacular, standing at 52.6% in the RealClearPolitics polling average and 51.3% in FiveThirtyEight’s, the first midterm election has tended to go against the president’s party since the 1930s. But Democrats are facing major headwinds beyond past precedent as they seek to hold on to their 50-50 split in the Senate — only Vice President Kamala Harris’s tiebreaking vote gives them control — and nine-vote margin over Republicans in the House. Democrats lost ...
Texas House Votes to Have Democrats Who Fled State Arrested

(Headline USA) Texas Democrats who hurriedly fled to Washington — maskless, on two chartered jets, carting at least one case of beer — to block new election integrity laws back home acknowledged Tuesday they can’t stay away forever and urged Congress to act on voting rights. Meanwhile Republican Gov. Greg Abbott threatened them with arrest the moment they return. As Democrats gathered at the U.S. Capitol, Republicans in the unusually skeletal Texas House of Representatives authorized finding and bringing back more than 50 lawmakers “under warrant of arrest if necessary.” However, state troopers have no jurisdiction beyond Texas, making it unclear what if any ...
Trump Can Win His Case Against Tech Giants

The media has panned Donald Trump’s First Amendment lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter and YouTube: “sure to fail,” “as stupid as you’d think,” “ridiculous.” Mr. Trump’s complaint omits important precedents, facts and claims for relief, but there’s a strong case to be made that social-media censorship violates the Constitution. If his lawyers do better in court than in their initial filing, Mr. Trump can win. It’s true that the First Amendment ordinarily applies to the government rather than private companies. But the central claim in Mr. Trump’s class-action lawsuit—that the defendants should be treated as state actors and ...
Over 100 days of failure at the border

Last week marked 100 days since President Joe Biden appointed Vice President Kamala Harris as his border crisis manager. In the three-plus months since Biden called her the “most qualified person” for the job, Harris hasn’t offered solutions — only inaction, excuses, and lies when it comes to the Biden-Harris administration’s signature crisis. When she’s not laughing it off, Harris claims she’s making progress on the raging humanitarian disaster at the border. Her boss says he has the situation “under control.” But facts are stubborn things, and the numbers show just how dire the crisis Harris and Biden created really is. In May alone, 180,000 ...

Nobody knows how to humiliate the press quite like the press. Not even former President Donald Trump. Former media darling and convicted felon Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for attempting to extort Nike. “Mr. Avenatti’s conduct was outrageous,” the presiding judge, Paul Gardephe of the Southern District of New York, said Thursday. “He hijacked his client’s claims, and he used those claims to further his own agenda — which was to extort millions of dollars from Nike to enrich himself.” Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas pressed by Republicans and Democrats to hire more Border Patrol agents The judge added, “Mr. ...
