Some good news from Washington this week. As congressional liberals prop up President Biden’s continued spending binge, conservatives are fighting to rein it in. Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) proposed an amendment to the latest government funding bill to check Congress from piling more debt on top of the $30 trillion we already owe. More than a dozen senators introduced a constitutional amendment […] READ MORE
The more we learn about special counsel John Durham’s ongoing investigation into the FBI’s Russia probe, the more questions arise. In court documents filed last week, Durham alleges that someone with access to sensitive communications used them in an attempt to smear Donald Trump. Durham outlines how proprietary data was “exploited” to gather “derogatory information” on the former president. […] READ MORE
America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and guardsmen are respected around the world for their courage, professionalism, and patriotism. But under President Joe Biden, that’s no longer good enough. Our new commander in chief wants our troops to go “woke.” Thanks to an inquiry from Senate Republicans, led by James Inhofe (R-OK), Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark […] READ MORE
It’s been six months since President Joe Biden bungled the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. It’s clear the debacle was even worse than we thought. Two new reports—including one from the military—detail the president’s failures. Throughout the evacuation, the White House ignored repeated warnings from the military about the deteriorating situation. In the end, 13 Americans died in an attack […] READ MORE
The bad news keeps pouring in about President Biden’s failed open border policies. U.S. deportations fell 70% in 2021. Of the 1.7 million illegal immigrants caught by Border Patrol agents last year, only about 3% were sent home. But it’s even worse than that. Most of the deportations from the first half of the year began under President Trump. Once Biden’s team was […] READ MORE
Yesterday’s inflation report showed that consumer prices rose 7.5% over the last year—the highest jump in 40 years. That means many Americans took a pay CUT last year—even ones who got raises. Biden-flation is now costing the average American family $276 a month. It was President Joe Biden’s multitrillion-dollar borrow-and-spend plan that sent prices soaring. And what is Biden doing now as the pain only […] READ MORE
After wasting a year virtue signaling, blue state leaders—in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, and Oregon—are finally lifting their school mask mandates. In Virginia, legislators followed Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R-VA) lead and voted to end masking in schools (even as his commonsense move continues to face court challenges). But the fight isn’t over. California and New York are still clinging to their masked schools. And this […] READ MORE
As America’s opioid crisis continues to spiral, the Biden administration’s “plan” to address it is simply dangerous. It would help opioid addicts take more opioids. Biden’s Justice Department may soon endorse “safe” injection sites in American cities, where drug users can shoot up while social workers look on to make sure nothing (else!) goes wrong. This is beyond reckless. Opioid overdose […] READ MORE
It’s bad enough that the Olympics are in Communist China, where our athletes are being spied on, censored, and told to stay silent about China’s atrocities. But NBC‘s groveling coverage of the games has turned a bad situation into a national embarrassment. When China had a Uyghur light the Olympic flame Friday night—even as Beijing tries to exterminate the Uyghur people—one of NBC‘s hosts called it “an in-your-face […] READ MORE
America’s education system needs a reboot. Distance learning has led to catastrophic learning loss. Children’s mental health is a national crisis. Test scores are falling. Democrats seem to care more about suspending maskless kids and promoting “critical race theory” than solving these problems. Now the good news: Republicans are stepping up to reopen and reform our schools. In Michigan, GOP legislators are fighting to make […] READ MORE
