By Hans von Spakovsky ~ The Judiciary Committee of the West Virginia House of Representatives held a virtual hearing on an election reform bill on April 5. What took place was like a story from the parody site The Babylon Bee. I was invited to testify in support of the bill by some West Virginians, […]
By Clay Waters ~ Reporter David Marchese interviewed Sen. Mazie Hirono, liberal activist and scourge of Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 Supreme Court hearings, for The New York Times Magazine. The headline is “Sen. Mazie Hirono Wonders How Some Republicans Live With Themselves.” Marchese opened the profile with a long brag about her ascent under Trump: “She […]
By Tim Graham ~ The March issue of Vogue magazine touts “Science Without Politics: The New COVID-19 Leadership.” But that’s silly, since Vogue exists to puff up the Democrats politically. “Science” is defined as “Stuff Smart Liberals Do.” Their profile of Rochelle Walensky, Biden’s “brilliant and compassionate” choice to head up the Centers for Disease […]
By Larry Bell ~ George Orwell’s 1949 dystopian novel, “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” envisaged a fictional government of Oceania comprised of four ministries: a Ministry of Love, a Ministry of Peace, a Ministry of Plenty, and an all-important Ministry of Truth. As with the other three, the Ministry of Truth (or “Minitrue”) is a misnomer because it […]
By Fred Lucas ~ As President Joe Biden issued more than 40 executive actions with less than a month in office and Democrats took control of Congress, Republican attorneys general in the states appear poised to be the strongest check on overreach by the federal government. “Everything is fair game. We are going to defend […]
By Rachel del Guidice ~ Two Democratic senators—Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana—who initially voted in favor of a Republican amendment reversing President Joe Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline later reversed themselves and voted with other Democrats to kill the amendment. Both Tester and Manchin voted late Thursday […]
By Fred Lucas ~ Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers have fired back against House Democrats’ charge that he incited an insurrection. Two Trump lawyers, David Schoen and Bruce Castor, filed a 14-page counterbrief Tuesday, the same day Democrats’ impeachment managers made an 80-page filing. The Trump brief denies that calling for supporters to “fight” is […]
By Corinne Weaver ~ Twitter censored 668 tweets from former President Donald Trump before banning his account, claiming his tweets were inaccurate and that some were a “risk of violence.” But when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) falsely accused a U.S. Senator of attempted murder, Twitter did nothing at all. “I am happy to work with […]
By Matthew Dickerson ~ President Donald Trump is right: There’s a lot of ridiculous gimmicks and wasteful projects in the new massive spending bill. And the good news is there’s something that Trump can do about it, even though he recently signed the huge COVID-19 stimulus and omnibus spending bill into law. While signing the […]
By Fred Lucas ~ Fifteen House Republicans are seeking a briefing with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger over suspected election irregularities in the state. The GOP members of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, in a letter sent late Tuesday, raised concerns in the aftermath of the disputed 2020 presidential election, but also ahead […]
By Peter Murphy ~ Barack Hussein Obama, the 44th President of the United States, is not pleased with the American people, who twice elected him president and just elevated his Vice President, Joe Biden, to the presidency. At least one of the reasons for the former president’s displeasure is he believes Americans like “cheap gas […]
By Kay C. James (President of The Heritage Foundation) ~ As infections increase during the “second wave” of the coronavirus, too many politicians are knee-jerking to reimpose harsh restrictions such as business shutdowns, curfews, and home confinements. These types of sweeping and overly restrictive COVID-19 measures cause needless harm, especially for the majority of generally […]
By Tim Graham ~ On Today, NBC reporter Hallie Jackson dismissed the New York Post stories on Hunter Biden in part by declaring “The Washington Post is reporting that some intelligence experts think this has the hallmark of, like a disinformation campaign, meant to interfere with the election.” On page A-4 of Thursday’s Washington Post came […]
By Clay Waters ~ Tuesday’s New York Times used the coronavirus pandemic to push both the leftist fight against “inequality” and left-wing politician Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She was fawned over in the lead National story slot, a full-page profile: “Lonely Voice in Congress Amplifies Plight of a Stricken District.” Mark Leibovich who recently hailed “eulogist […]
By Tim Graham ~ When a crisis hits and a massive legislative package is organized to meet it, it’s never surprising when Democrats go to supporting their own media assets. So there on page 746 of the 854-page “stimulus” bill is a provision granting $75 million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting “to prevent, prepare […]
By Peter Murphy ~ Joe Biden made a public splash this week on various news outlets. The Atlantic magazine will be glad to know he is alive. We sincerely wish Mr. Biden well, but he would have done better staying off the air. The former Vice President and presumptive presidential nominee said if there is another […]
By GianCarlo Canaparo ~ On Friday, the House passed the massive $2 trillion-plus coronavirus relief package that the Senate had passed on Wednesday. There’s a lot in those 880 pages, and much of it is problematic: The bill is neither targeted and temporary, nor directed exclusively at the coronavirus—as scholars at The Heritage Foundation and […]
By James Carafano ~ For quite some time, China has been trying to undercut the foundation of American global power. Unlike Moscow’s often coarse, brutish efforts, Beijing has been stealthier than an F-35, using public diplomacy initiatives to subtly buy its way into schools, civil society, and the private sector. Now, however, the mask–and the gloves–are coming off. […]
By Fred Lucas ~ President Donald Trump said Thursday that he doesn’t support House Democrats’ coronavirus relief bill in its current form because it includes too many “goodies” that have nothing to do with the disease. Although the bill addresses providing testing and masks to respond to the coronavirus, it also expands unemployment insurance and […]
By Fred Lucas ~ A Senate committee is poised to issue a subpoena for documents as part of an investigation of the Ukrainian dealings of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. The subpoena by the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee almost certainly will move forward, as a spokeswoman for […]
By Clay Waters ~ New York Times congressional correspondent Carl Hulse predictably shrugged off Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer’s volatile verbal threats directed at two Supreme Court justices nominated by the Trump administration in Friday’s “Schumer Regrets Content, But Not Spirit, of Warning.” Hulse generally gives Democrats the benefit of the doubt when they make nasty […]
By Virginia Aabram ~ The divide between the values of the Democratic and Republican parties continues to widen, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Thursday during an annual gathering of conservative activists outside Washington. “All of us grew up thinking that the Republicans are the party of the rich and the Democrats were the party of […]
By Dr. Jay Lehr ~ We all know that Al Gore did not invent the Internet, though many say he claimed to have done it. He did make a small fortune selling ways for gullible people to reduce their carbon dioxide foot print by having trees planted in some far away place in there name. […]
By Fred Lucas ~ Democrats are raising a ruckus about a news report that Russia plans to meddle in the 2020 presidential campaign to help reelect President Donald Trump. But further Russian election interference was expected, as special counsel Robert Mueller told Congress last year after his report about Moscow’s meddling in the 2016 campaign. […]
