Rampant, Flagrant Vote Manipulation to Tilt
the Nation Leftward
By Lowell Ponte
“It’s a power grab for the American people,” said Rep. Zoe
Lofgren of California, a progressive Caucus member who last week helped ram through
House passage of H.R. 1, the Democratic Party’s nearly 700-page “voter reform”
act. “What kind of government would cancel the vote of its own citizens,” asked
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), “and replace it with non-citizens?” One of 29
Republican amendments Democrats slapped aside would have condemned voting by
illegal aliens. H.R. 1 instead encourages illegal aliens to vote wherever
permitted in state and local elections, such as in sanctuary city San
Francisco. Local elections are where future members of Congress develop their
name identification, contributors and political skills. [more...]
Superficial,
Pretentious Hollywood Hypocrites
By Karen Kataline
The unfolding college admission scandal has ensnared a
few Hollywood celebrities. It shouldn’t much of a surprise that celebrities are
so concerned about their kids appearing to be accomplished that they
don’t care whether they actually are. Some have made the point that these
parents didn’t do their kids any favors... but that assumes that it was ever
about their kids. The need to maintain the appearance of perfection and
superiority is about themselves; their kids are merely an extension of them. The
only surprise in this story is that these celebrities have been exposed and are
being held accountable. It probably won’t be long before Hollywood hypocrites
start blaming Donald Trump for it all. In this case, they might be partially be
right: the era of Trump continues to expose the “phony” in some of our most
pretentious people and institutions. [more...]
Why the
Democrats Won't Take on Anti-Semitism
By Daniel Greenfield
Every few weeks, some political or national figure demands a
national conversation about race. What does a conversation about race mean?
Invariably, an indictment of the fundamental unfairness of our country, the
historical roots of racism in white supremacy, and the national guilt of white
people. We don’t have national conversations about anti-Semitism because the
problem can’t be narrowed down to an easily blamed demographic. The Democrats
invariably try to blame anti-Semitism on the usual suspects - white male
Republicans living more than two hundred miles from a Starbucks; but the
largest toll of violent anti-Semitic attacks tend to fall on New York City’s
black neighborhoods. [more...]

Several
lawmakers want to pull more people into Medicare. This would hurt anyone with
private insurance, and it would inevitably lead to single-payer, government
funded healthcare, which would deprive people of any choice over their
healthcare. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., recently introduced S.470, a bill
that would let any citizen or permanent resident between the ages of 50 and 64
buy into Medicare. It received broad support from her Democratic colleagues. [more...]
Bad
Manners Equals Bad Politics
By Kerry Lutz
The Oxford dictionary defines manners as, “Polite or well-bred
social behavior.” America should be mourning the death of manners and common
courtesy. Once upon a time, manners were taught and ingrained in schools and at
home. Discipline would often be imposed for serious transgressions.
Unfortunately, successive generations have downgraded the importance and the
need for them. Why are manners/common courtesies so important? The
answer lies in what should be our collective desire for the attainment of a civil
society. [more...]
