Biden’s information power grab
Remember when the internet died on June 11, 2018? Neither do we. But if you had listened to any member of the Democratic Party who commented on the subject at the time, that was the day Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai destroyed the internet with the rescission of former President Barack Obama‘s “net neutrality” […]

NRCC selling ‘F Hamas’ T-shirts to counter campus protests
The National Republican Congressional Committee is selling a “F Hamas” T-shirt, starting Wednesday. “We got tired of saying it, so we slapped it on a T-shirt,” NRCC national press secretary Will Reinert said to the Washington Examiner.

Speaker Johnson did the right thing for Ukraine. His stature is now enhanced.
The overwhelming congressional votes for aid to Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine show just how out of touch the isolationists and Ukraine skeptics on both ends of the American political spectrum are. They also show why it was inexcusable for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to wait so long to engineer passage of the aid bills. Nonetheless, […]

Mike Johnson stares down jeers at hostile Columbia University: ‘Enjoy your free speech’

The Royal Air Force should bring back Bomber Command and buy B-2 bombers
One of Ukraine’s key battlefield successes against Russia has been its employment of “deep strike” operations. That is to say, operations against targets deep behind Russian lines. As first reported by the Washington Examiner, Kyiv’s strategy here is heavily influenced by British special forces in Ukraine. Deep strike operations seek to target an enemy’s command and control […]

Biden does not believe his own climate change preaching
President Joe Biden’s sanctimonious lectures about climate change are pathetic because it is clear that Biden doesn’t believe in them himself. Biden posted on Tuesday that “Anyone who willfully denies the impacts of climate change is condemning the American people to a dangerous future.” That is an odd statement for Biden to make, given that […]

Biden calls for middle-class tax hike
President Joe Biden has repeatedly said he won’t hike taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000, but then this week he promised on X to hike taxes on just about everyone. Now, to be fair, Biden may not have understood that’s what he’s saying. Letting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire and “stay expired” […]

A turning point for American foreign policy?
Was the passage by the House last Saturday and the Senate on Tuesday of the foreign aid package with money for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan a turning point in American foreign policy? It certainly was a turnabout in rhetoric and in partisan behavior. Speaker Mike Johnson led the narrowly Republican House to pass by resounding […]

Biden bungles stage direction and reads ‘pause’ off teleprompter before crowd chants ‘four more years’
President Joe Biden had an awkward moment when he appeared to read off instructions from the teleprompter rather than just following them. Biden was speaking at North America’s Building Trade Union National Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday when he asked the audience to imagine what could be possible with another term in the […]

Republicans control a razor-thin majority of 217 seats, with Democrats in control of 212 seats. In California, the open seat of former Speaker Kevin […]

Oklahoma superintendent defies Biden’s lawless Title IX rule
If policymakers in Republican states want a model for confronting the Biden administration’s lawless attempt to impose gender theory on schools, they should look no further than Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters. The Washington Examiner reported Wednesday that Walters published a letter instructing district superintendents throughout the state to defy the Biden administration’s new regulation […]
