Without Christmas, There Would be No United States

By Scott Powell

As a Christian holiday, Christmas is foundational to America’s original character. It’s affected our founders' understanding of human nature.

Across cultures, people have sought to flee oppression and escape persecution from the beginning of recorded history. A recurring theme in Western classical literature and in modern classics such as Superman and Disney originals, which revolve around the struggle between good and evil, is the need and critical role for a rescuer or savior. The ultimate rescuer and savior for mankind would be a "messiah," who would vanquish evil, oppression and falsehood once and for all. It is no accident that only Christianity has its roots and its entire reason for being in the messiah Jesus Christ. No other religion makes the claim that it was founded by a messiah. [more...]

Why Aren't Stalked Women Ever Told to Get a Gun for Self-Defense?

By Dr. John Lott

Murder rates decline when people carry concealed handguns.

Reportedly, 76% of women murdered by someone who had been an intimate partner were stalked. Violence prevention advocates for women have a long list of changes they recommend. These changes require women to uproot their lives. Among the advice: Women should change jobs, their travel routes, the time of day they leave home or work, move in with a friend or family member, change the locks on their home, or do their shopping and other chores with friends or relatives. A few recommend that women practice martial arts such as judo, jujitsu, karate or boxing. But the most obvious answer is missing from these lists: Women should get a concealed handgun permit and a firearm. A gun represents a much bigger change in a woman’s ability to defend herself.

Jan. 6 Panels Won't Impact Trump Politically

By Dick Morris

None of the criminal charges the Jan. 6 House select committee is expected to refer to the Justice Department against Donald Trump will bar the former president from running. It will have no impact on him politically. The Republican primary voters see it for what it is. They're going to stick with Trump, and he's going to get the nomination easily.... all this is going to do is to revivify Trump's fortune. It will do one other thing: it marginalizes DeSantis because ultimately the choice here will be, 'Do you think Trump should be in jail or not?' And if you say 'not,' you can't then say, 'Oh, but he should be out as president.' It just doesn't work that way. I think Trump will benefit from all of this, and if the FBI indicts him, it gets even worse. I don't think that's going to hurt him. I think he's going to absolutely come through as unscathed as he was in two 'impeachments.' [more...] Read more: Jan. 6 DOJ Trump Referrals Absurd

CDC Political Bias

By John Lott

For the second year in a row, the Centers for Disease Control has gotten caught ignoring science and letting liberal interest groups set its policies. In 2021, the American Pediatric Academy and the Children's Hospital Association tracked COVID-19 statistics in children and the data show no relationship between mask mandates and the rate at which children caught the disease. In the face of this evidence – and other data showing that masks harm children's development - the CDC supported masking students after being pressured by the National Education Association (the nation's largest teachers' union). Now comes word that the CDC is again allowing partisan politics to influence its policies. This time, gun control activists got the CDC to remove research from its website. Yet, the CDC is trusted to impartially dole out millions of dollars for public health research on firearms: From 2020 to 2022, the CDC and the National Institute of Health (NIH) each spent about $50 million on such research.

Why the Christmas Story Never Ceases to Amaze

By Scott Powell

It's remarkable that Christ had no servants, yet everyone called him 'master.' He had no formal education or degree, yet the educated Jews called him 'rabbi' and 'teacher.' Jesus had no medicines, yet he was desperately sought out as a healer. He had no army, yet emperors and kings feared him. History shows that so many levels of human advancement were made possible by God who became man, born in the humble circumstances of a dirty stable in the small village of Bethlehem, a speck in the vast Roman Empire. And while that empire would crumble and fall, Jesus, who had neither an army nor won any military battles went on to become the Lord and Savior for people who believe all over the world. For, as He said, "My Kingdom is not of this world." [more...]

Senate Hearing Bemoans Worker Shortages, Wonders if Reshoring Can Work

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

A Senate Commerce subcommittee heard from small manufacturers this week and the biggest takeaways were worker shortages, keeping energy prices low, and debates over how reshoring production to the U.S. can work beyond pie-in-the-sky rhetoric. "Manufacturing is central to America’s economic power and national security, and historically, we’ve led the world in the invention of and manufacturing of advanced technologies," said one of the four witnesses, Dr. Kevin Lee, director at the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals. "We’ve lost our leadership position in manufacturing over the past few decades, and this is a threat to our economic prosperity and national security. We invent things here, but we make them elsewhere and import them." [more...]

Biden Admin Condemns Efforts to Restrict Homeless Junkies from Taking Over Streets

By Daniel Greenfield

The Biden administration’s Interagency Council on Homelessness has announced its current position which, to no one’s surprise, doubles and triples down on the same policies that turned San Francisco and Los Angeles, among other major cities, into unlivable hellholes swarming with diseased mentally ill junkies randomly assaulting people in public. The Council falsely claims that mentally ill junkies living in tents on city streets is a "housing" issue rather than what it actually is - a substance abuse and mental illness issue. The Biden administration proposes the same discredited program of fixing the vagrant mentally ill junkie problem with a “housing first” approach. Never mind the fact that this is a population that cannot reliably and safely live in housing, often doesn’t even want housing and that the efforts to build housing have created very little housing while putting money in the pockets of special interests. [more...]

'Wokeness' is Killing Art

By James Hirsen

It has been noted recently by many of the greats within the comedy arts that 'wokeness' has killed comedy. But the truth is 'wokeness' may actually be killing art itself. The arts in today's world have hit a proverbial brick wall. This is because art cannot survive the current woke restrictions that Hollywood is imposing upon the entire entertainment industry. Shallow characters, forced plots, anachronistic themes and the like make for extremely bland product, which is the antithesis of art's purpose and its very essence. [more...]

Climate Cultists Have Declared War on Farming and Food

By Scott Powell

"Climate cultists have now declared war on farming and food 12/12/22, 10:02 PM." Germany has ordered farms to cease operating as WEF demands end of farming to comply with 'global warming' demands. At first, climate cultists claimed CO2 was the primary threat to planet Earth, but now they claim food is destroying the planet. That's why the means of food production are being systematically targeted and shut down. It's all being done on purpose to bring about mass famine, collapse, and depopulation - the goal of "The Great Reset." As of today, the use of nitrate fertilizers has been greatly restricted for large swathes of farmland in North Rhine Westphalia - one of the most abundant food production areas in Germany. [more...]

An America Without God?

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

Eisenhower said it best: "Without God, there could be no American form of Government, no an American way of life."

Everywhere we look we see a godless society. It's godless at the individual, corporate and governmental levels. So let me say something bold that will, for some, come out of "left-field" (or perhaps "Christian-privilege" thinking). Without God, America as we know it, formed it, and built it cannot exist. It will die. The American system was founded upon the assumption that citizens would maintain a belief in a biblical God. Absent the recognition of this Supreme Being - His principles, truths, justice, and morality - America is destined for self-destruction and the grave. [more...]

Globalization is Still Against the Ropes

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

If anyone thought that showing "Tariff Man" Trump the door in 2020 meant a return to pre-Trump one world kumbaya globalism, they ended yet another year disappointed. Globalization remains against the ropes as ever. On Tuesday, Dec. 13, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA-17) will be introducing a bill that will force leaders at cabinet-level agencies to identify weaknesses in U.S. supply chains that could hurt national security and domestic manufacturing growth. Leaders would be charged with periodically recommending ways that federal agencies can attract private investment and change federal financing programs to advance U.S. economic development policies. [more...]

WNBA superstar, which is up there with 'curling great' and 'back-alley dart throwing legend,' Napheesa Collier had a whole lot of opinions on "systemic racism." But suddenly she learned to love America... or at least refuse to leave it. [more...]

Files Reveal Illegal Political Bias Behind Twitter's Ban of Trump

By Dick Morris

New information revealed in the fourth release of Twitter files documents how the Internet portal railroaded the former president and bent the rules to force his removal from the site. On January 6, 2021, former President Trump sent a message over his Twitter account for rioters to go home and to refrain from violence. This tweet mirrored what he had already said on television in a direct appeal to demonstrators to be nonviolent.

The "Crazy Right-Wing Shooter" Myth

By John Lott

If you only read the New York Times editorials, you'd believe that political violence in America is a "right-wing" problem. The Times has been warning of violence from the right for years, but on Nov. 19 and 26, they wrote two long editorials making these claims. The violence stems from the lies "enthusiastically spread" by Republican politicians. Democrats' only complicity was their $53 million in spending on "far-right fringe candidates in the primaries." Both editorials mention the mass murderer in Buffalo, New York, as a political right-winger. But they have been doing that all year. In May, the Times claimed he was of the right because he was racist and listened to a video on a "site known for hosting right-wing extremism." You wouldn't know it from reading The Times, but the Buffalo killer was yet another mass murderer motivated by environmentalism. [more...]

The Parallel Universe of the CCP and the World Economic Forum

By Scott Powell

Two fronts of the same irregular war

After the G20 meeting in Indonesia three weeks ago, WEF chairman Klaus Schwab broadcast on CGTN TV that "the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model..." For Schwab, China is the model because the totality of its social controls is what is needed to facilitate the Great Reset and consummate the New World Order. This plan calls for the end of sovereign states, the end of private property and the remaking of the economy based on environmental, social, and governance rankings. It also means the replacement of oil and gas with so-called green and sustainable sources of energy, the transformation of agricultural production, the replacement of traditional money with social credit score-linked digital currency, and the requirement of universal health passports - to name some of the key WEF objectives. Americans are slow to fully understand that the survival of freedom is at stake. Elite capture, influence, and control from Chinese communists and from those brainwashed by Klaus Schwab and his WEF cult must be rejected and stopped. [more...]

Biden Admin Claims Vaccine Mandate Opponents Don't Care About Troops

By Daniel Greenfield

Congressional Democrats have agreed to jettison the military vaccine mandate. The Biden administration, however, continue to fight on. “Making sure our troops are ready to defend this country and prepared to do so, that remains the president's priority and the vaccine requirement for COVID does just that," White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby contended. "But Republicans in Congress have obviously decided that they'd rather fight against the health and well-being of those troops, rather than protecting them." As part of its hostility and contempt for the military, Biden, Defense Secretary Austin and other leftist apparatchiks imposed a wholly unnecessary and illegal vaccine mandate that forced our men and women in uniform to leave and helped lead to a recruiting crisis in order to purge conservatives. Now this same corrupt gang of traitors is talking as if they care about the lives of the troops. [more...]

Don't Let Globalist, Elitists Lead Us to Mediocrity

By Judd Dunning, Newsmax Columnist

Most American still know what is true and when something is not true, good, or in line with values established by God. In these instances, we have a moral obligation and right to judge and discern, and even a right to feel disdain and disgust. Cultural Marxists thrive in an ethos where all actions can be rationalized as for the greater good, meaning their greater good. Moral relativism brings their warped versions of tolerance and social justice. They demand we tolerate them no matter what they say or do. Claiming any ultimate good brings out their intentionally false smears of bigotry and racism. For leftists, communists, socialists, globalists and elitists, moral relativism prohibits any entity being better or best. God is not sovereign, and America is not great. These are their big lies. Americans know better: There is a higher good. [more...]

Open Enrollment Numbers Hide Obamacare's Expensive Failures

By Sally Pipes

It's beginning to look a lot like... open enrollment. On December 15, the Affordable Care Act's sign-up period will officially close for coverage that takes effect January 1. The Biden administration has already begun crowing about how many people have signed up. In mid-November, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra boasted that 3.4 million people had enrolled between November 1 and 19. "This may be a very good Christmas for a lot of Americans," he said. Days earlier, Biden announced that enrollment was up 40% compared to last year, and that a majority of Americans could get coverage for "$10 a month or less." But exchange plans are only affordable because Democrats have earmarked billions of dollars in new spending to cover most enrollees' premiums. Rather than address the underlying problems with his old boss's signature healthcare law, Biden and his team have given insurers a direct line to the federal treasury. [more...]

Reform the CDC - Before another Pandemic Hits

By Carl Schramm, Economist

Following the CDC's incontestable failure to protect Americans from COVID, Joe Biden has proposed a 21 percent increase in the agency's budget. If CDC bureaucrats had any concerns that painful reforms were coming, or that their leader, Rochelle Walensky, might be replaced, this proposal surely has put their minds at ease. Nor did two recent expert examinations of the nation's COVID response by highly regarded, independent institutions do anything to worry them by way of publicizing the CDC's negligence in failing to prepare for the kind of global pandemic that, by 2018, experts were already saying was inevitable. Nearly everyone knows that the CDC's colossal failures led to the needless deaths of tens of thousands of people from COVID. Americans will be paying a long time for the CDC's panicked decision to treat a low-fatality virus as sufficient reason to shut down commerce, motivated partly by the government's growing impulse to treat individual freedom as a threat to authority. In light of this debacle, Biden's decision to reward the CDC by showering it with resources seems incomprehensible. [more...]

U.S. Downplays Clear Link Between Illegal Immigration and Crime

By John Lott

Currently crime statistics in the U.S. generally do not allow researchers to make definitive conclusions on how much illegal immigrants may have influenced the rise in violent crime. Because of the political sensitivity of the question, almost no state officials keep track of the immigration status of prisoners in their jails. However, criminal justice experts say that the precision offered by European data may provide guideposts to the United States as it grapples with a host of pathologies ranging from rising violent crime and mass shootings to social disruptions from the Coronavirus pandemic. Europe's experience suggests one avenue of inquiry for policymakers and criminal justice experts is crime directly tied to immigration and drug-trafficking across the porous U.S.-Mexico border.

Is the Dollar Overvalued?

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

Is the dollar too strong? A recent Treasury report shows that it is. That's bad for U.S. industry, U.S. workers, and U.S. farmers. It's good for Chinese and German exporters, which are more competitive against U.S. goods than they should be. But the new Treasury report, like previous reports, offers a lot of words and colorful graphs but recommends no action whatsoever. [more...]

We Are All James Woods

By James Hirsen

Consummate actor of stage and screen, James Woods has become a focal point of the so-called Twitter Files, the first in a series of documents released to journalist Matt Taibbi by Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Twitter seemingly complied with the Democratic Party's directives in suppressing the accounts of select celebrities, quite strikingly the account of James Woods. In the words of Taibbi, "Celebrities and unknowns alike could be removed or reviewed at the behest of a political party." James has bravely stepped forward to lead a class action lawsuit against the social media platform as well as the DNC over damage done to his personal civil rights, reputation and career. "Whether I win or lose, I am going to stand up for the rights that every American [is entitled to]" says Woods.

Satanic Temple Recruiting Kids

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

That question should be a no-brainer. But instead, it has to be carefully studied, dissected, hashed out, mulled, scrutinized, and deliberated. For those unacquainted with this literally hellish news topic, The Satanic Temple, headquartered in Salem, Massachusetts has launched a nationwide campaign to enroll Lucifer into after school programs targeting elementary students. Oh, and if the school districts refuse to open their doors, they can expect a lawsuit. [more...]

GOP Must Halt Dems' Outrageous Budget Plans

By Dick Morris

Trump hits back at McConnell.

It's outrageous that outgoing leadership in the House chamber - including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. - is angling to control the budgetary items for the next fiscal year, despite only possessing power for another 30-plus days. Even worse is that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., should be condemned for letting the Democrats get this far with next year's negotiations. It's absolutely outrageous! The people of this country voted for the Republicans to run the House of Representatives in 2023. [more...]

Gun Confiscation is Not the Solution to Mass Shootings

By John Lott

We should prioritize mental health treatment.

Gun control advocates would have us believe that confiscating people's guns is the solution to all problems. Without so much as a hearing, red-flag laws allow judges in many states to confiscate people's guns due to mere suspicion of mental health distress. A third party need only complain that a gun owner is a danger to himself or others. After reviewing a single written complaint, all a judge needs is "reasonable suspicion." No mental health experts are involved in the evaluation or in treating the person. These laws were supposed to stop the recent mass murders in Colorado Springs and Chesapeake, Virginia, respectively, on Nov. 19 and 23. But why design a law that only takes away a person's guns when there are so many other ways for people to harm themselves or others? [more...]

Reversal of XI's Fortunes a Warning for Tyrants

By Scott Powell

Just a month ago it appeared to many that Communist China was more invincible than ever with Xi Jinping appearing to have tightened his control, securing another extended term at the 20th Party Congress. And while some in the media described his status as "a new Chinese emperor for life" or "Mao Zedong reincarnated," everything has suddenly changed with China experiencing more widespread anti-government protests than those associated with Tiananmen Square in 1989. The simmering grievances against excessive COVID testing and quarantine requirements have now intensified into bold and outspoken opposition against Xi Jinping and the Communist Party. [more...]

China's Zero COVID Revolt

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

This past week's protests against the Chinese Communist Party’s draconian pandemic restrictions further highlight the wanton human rights abuses that routinely take place in the world’s No. 2 economy. Zero COVID is more than just an inconvenience to unknown Chinese people thousands of miles away. China’s pandemic management has shut down supply chains around the globe. American businesses should be protesting against Zero COVID as much as the Chinese. Only they have more power than the average Chinese to do so. They can protest by moving supply chains out of China, a country that has become an unreliable partner to American multinationals and a geopolitical risk as well. [more...]

This is How You Take Over a School System

By Daniel Greenfield

Powered by parent groups, takeovers of school boards are a rising trend. What's interesting here is the coordination between a governor and school board members to create systemic change. The Left does this all the time. Everything is coordinated from the top down. Conservative school board members, however, are often on their own in supposed 'red' states. This is just the beginning, but it’s an interesting model. [more...]

The Decline of Higher Education

By John M. Ellis

In the '50s and '60s, academic-freedom disputes routinely took a particular shape. In a small town, somewhere in the heartland, there would be a college campus on which a young academic loudly voiced his opinions on controversial matters - mostly political, but sometimes also on sexual morality, or even on legalizing drugs. This would offend the sensitivities of some local townspeople. If we fast forward to the present, one feature of what's happening on the campuses looks similar: that crucial analytical function is still getting stifled whenever it offends an equally shallow local moralism. But there's a startling difference: the actors have changed places. It's now the professors who do what the small-minded small-town worthies used to do, shutting down analysis whenever it offends them, which is often. In fact, they do it on a vastly larger scale.

DOJ Trump Investigation Will Backfire Massively

By Dick Morris

The Department of Justice's special counsel investigation of Trump will backfire massively because Americans can see it for what it is. Politically, I think that this is going to backfire in a big way because everybody can see how unfair it is. Trump announced his candidacy on Nov. 15, and on Nov. 17, Biden had a special prosecutor to indict him, to go after him. Trump called Attorney General Merrick Garland's special counsel appointee Jack Smith a "hit man" for Obama on his Truth Social platform. Garland tasked Smith with looking into the protest rally at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, along with alleged efforts by Trump to pressure Georgia's secretary of state (Brad Raffensperger) into falsely counting ballots in the 2020 election. There are also claims that Trump violated the law by taking "classified" documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office. [more...]

Biden Wants to Ban Semi-Automatic Guns Again... When Will Fact-Checkers Apologize?

By John Lott

With mass public shootings in just the last week in Colorado and Virginia, people naturally want to do something to stop these attacks. But semi-automatic guns provide critical self-defense benefits. After each shot, a semi-automatic gun reloads itself. A single-shot gun, by contrast, requires manual reloading. This can prove a liability, especially against multiple attackers. In places where they were allowed to carry, law-abiding citizens stopped over 50% of shootings. The Virginia attack sadly took place in a gun-free zone (an employees' only section of Walmart). Biden’s statement comes just a day after Justin Trudeau’s government introduced new legislation to ban all semi-automatic rifles and shotguns in Canada. Neither leader seems to understand that armed, law-abiding citizens make it riskier for criminals to commit crime. [more...]

How Red Wave Mania Left Republicans Seeing Red

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

The GOP should have seen the writing on the wall. Unfortunately, there were just too many safe Democrat seats to produce a Red Wave. Compounding the problem was the fact that Republicans were already neck-and-neck with Democrats in the U.S. House. Take note of this: The last two Red Waves in the U.S. House occurred in 1994, with the GOP picking up 54 seats, and in 2010 the GOP picking up 63 seats. But the GOP began the 1994 race with just 176 seats and in 2010 with just 179 seats. This year, the GOP started with 213 seats. Was it ever reasonable to think the GOP would produce the type of Red Wave of 1994 or 2010? [more...]

Who is the Real Culprit Behind Globalization?

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

Globalization is up against the ropes. What a great way to end 2022 knowing this one-world, free trade, fast profit ideology is now revealed to be akin to an EF-5 tornado ripping through the land. In Washington, lackluster support for globalism among voters is often packaged as needing to be tough on China. The argument goes that globalization didn’t work because it’s China’s fault. And while some of that is true - China plays by a different rulebook - the real culprit behind globalization isn't China. China could be taken out of the mix completely, and under the logic of globalization, be replaced by Southeast Asia, India, and Mexico. [more...]

The drag queen who has been known to wear red dresses and high heels, and calls himself "they," was celebrated as the first "genderfluid" person in the federal government. Now he has reportedly taken a leave of absence after stealing a woman's luggage and her clothes. According to Alpha News, Brinton flew into Minneapolis-St. Paul from Washington, D.C., where he grabbed a woman's luggage at the airport and walked away with it. Biden’s nuclear drag queen wasn't just stealing the identity of women but had allegedly escalated to actually stealing their clothing. [more...]

Dem Voters on the Dole 'Insulated' on Inflation

By Dick Morris

While inflation hurts most of us, Democrat voters on government support are "insulated" from it – a scheme of dependency and virtual control. What they're doing is borrowing like crazy, spending like crazy, knowing that that will cause inflation and then protecting their constituencies so that they are on protected islands in this frothing sea of inflation. And to get on the island, you need to vote Democrat; you need to be part of the constituency, and that's a way to insulate their voters from what's happening to the rest of us, and I think that played important role.

Faith, Gratitude and Perseverance - Americans Have Much to Learn from the Pilgrim Story

By Scott Powell

The Thanksgiving holiday, which commemorates one part of the Pilgrim story, remains the favorite holiday for many Americans... and for good reasons beyond enjoying a feast. With our country passing through troubled times, it is worth revisiting the Pilgrims' five significant achievements, which created the seminal story of America, and reveal remarkable insight into who we are and the qualities of character we need to overcome our present challenges. This thoroughly researched article is one of my best and recounts what happened four centuries ago. To the extent we are shaped by what our forebears did to contribute to and from our present world, this is a story for the here and now. [more...]

If You Want to Deter Murders, Bring Back the Death Penalty

By Nikki Goeser, Executive Director of the Crime Prevention Research Center

Without the threat of capital punishment, there's no reason for killers to agree to a plea bargain.

Amidst the high murder rate of the last couple of years, it is little wonder that Americans support the death penalty by at least a 3-to-2 margin. And their support would rise to more than 2-to-1 if death sentences were carried out on a timelier basis. Thirty-two states have inmates on death row, but only eight states and the federal government have held executions since 2020. Even in the states where executions occur, the average time between sentencing and execution is 19.8 years. But that is only part of the story behind delays. Several years of delay from murder to sentencing is common. It took four years and nine months before Nikolas Cruz was finally sentenced earlier this month for the mass murder of 17 people in the Parkland massacre. Still, because of one juror, he didn’t get the death penalty. [more...]

How the LGBTQ Movement Rose to Political Dominance After Stealing the Symbol of God's Covenant Rainbow

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

LGBTQ activists needed a banner they could rally under, a flag with a message of unity that could attract straight sympathizers, a social masthead that could inspire nervous gays and lesbians to come out of their closets and join the cause. What better symbol could there be than one that spoke of love, harmony, acceptance, unity, and peace – namely, God's very own rainbow? From its inception, the rainbow flag was as much about assailing Christians as it was about gathering gays and lesbians under an umbrella of unity. The rainbow flag gambit paid off. When the 28-foot rainbow flag was unveiled in San Francisco on June 25, 1978, there were 250,000 spectators in attendance. Subsequent gay pride rallies saw their numbers increase throughout every major city in the United States. [more...]

China's Shein Finds Banned Cotton Everywhere

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

China’s hot, fast fashion exporter, Shein, was put under the microscope at labs contracted by Bloomberg to see if any of the clothing was made from cotton sourced in Xinjiang. And, guess what... it was. Two batches of clothes purchased from Shein — one ordered in March and a second in July — were shipped to Germany for analysis. The clothes were chosen from about 60,000 items that turned up in a search for "cotton" on Shein’s U.S. website. The cotton in those clothing items was compared with fabric sourced directly from Xinjiang that Bloomberg said it obtained from an unidentified U.S. company in China. [more...]

The Next Generation of Doctors will be Diverse, 'Woke' and Incompetent

By Daniel Greenfield

Instead of doctors being chosen for their ability to help patients, they're being chosen to make them feel represented.

Bad news for the future of medicine and the future of human life. While radical politics had consumed the 'soft sciences' and most impractical academic fields, the practical ones, especially the sciences, were generally intact. In the last decade, all of academia has crumbled. Quotas are everywhere and 'woke' mandates have displaced academic ones. That means people will die. Because we'll have doctors who got there by talking about their victimhood, but are not qualified to do anything more than posture and virtue signal about their pain. [more...]

Making Twitter Great Again Elon Musk-Style

By James Hirsen

Elon Musk just welcomed back to the Twitter-verse former President Donald J. Trump. In the process, the social media site owner and self-described "Chief Twit" showed exactly what he's made of, principles-wise. The official reversal of Trump's lifetime Twitter ban, along with the restoration of his more than 80 million followers, was implemented over the past weekend. The handle @realDonaldTrump was reactivated, and users on Twitter are once again able to tag the former president in posts. Elon formally brought 45's account back to life after conducting a poll on the platform that received more than 15 million votes. [more...]

GOP Can Halt Biden Agenda, Probe Admin with House

Appearing at Mar-a-Lago for former President Donald Trump's 2024 announcement, Dick Morris said a GOP-controlled House could stop Joe Biden's agenda and investigate his White House. "Nothing gets me more angry than people thinking we lost. We beat the Dems by 5 points among House voters... and we took the House back. Of the 15 top Senate races, we won 9 of the 15. Now that we have the House, we can stop Biden from passing bills, and we can get a gavel and investigate this cesspool of corruption that Joe Biden calls an administration," he continued. "We can put Hunter Biden under oath. We can put his people under oath. We can really get somewhere." [more...]

Government Botches the Catastrophic Homelessness Crisis

By Dr. Robert Marbut, Discovery Institute Senior Fellow and Former Director of the Federal Interagency Task Force on Homelessness

In the last two weeks, I have been in Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. studying the catastrophic homelessness crisis and its nexus with untreated mental illness and substance use disorders (in particular fentanyl and meth). The one thing all the cities have in common is how easy they make it to use drugs, whereas the cities that are doing much better, focus their efforts on treatment and recovery. As a matter of public policy, we should make it easy to get treatment while making it harder to misuse drugs. These problems linked to homelessness are increasing in America despite untold sums of government money spent to address this complex problem. Our new report from Discovery Institute makes it clear that Congress and the Executive Branch need to focus more on untreated mental illness and substance abuse to reduce homelessness, drug overdoses, jail overcrowding, and misuse of emergency rooms. [more...]

When Protecting Criminals' Rights Comes at the Expense of Victims

By John Lott

It took four years and nine months before Nicolas Cruz was finally sentenced for the murder of seventeen people in the horrific Parkland massacre. So much of the legal system focuses on fairness to the criminal; but the damage to the victims and their families as they wait for trial is tremendous. Those who have to testify or give victim impact statements must continually think about what they will say at trial. There is also uncertainty about the verdict and whether the murderer will be punished. In the Parkland case, the victims were denied the closure of Cruz receiving the death penalty. We have seen the consequences of trial delays firsthand. [more...]

Why the "Red Wave" Turned into a Ripple

By Scott Powell

The red wave many pundits predicted dissipated in large measure because the vote fraud and election chicanery that was unleased in 2020 went unchecked and uncorrected. In contrast, Florida's election reform stands out as a national model, manifest in orderly elections where the results are known within six hours of the polls closing. Democrat strongholds have an endless supply of mail-in ballots and others ready to be harvested and cast for candidates put up by the Democrats - a party that is demonstrably undermining America on at least a half dozen critical fronts. It is important to know that the United States will not survive as a free and independent nation unless honest elections are restored. The legitimacy of the U.S. comes with elections that provide both the voice and consent of "We the people." In an increasingly dangerous world with multiple formidable adversaries, Americans cannot afford a weak government with questionable legitimacy that directly ensues from vote fraud. [more...]

What's So Great About Free Trade?

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

What's so great about free trade? Well, according to the International Trade Commission's own admission – it makes big multinationals bigger, guts most of the domestic mid-supply chain companies that served those giants, and wreaks absolute havoc on non-college educated, blue-collar labor – especially women and minority men. The other aspect of free trade is consumer choice and cost. We live in a consumer society, after all, and thanks to our trade with Mexico and China, American garages, basements, and side table drawers are full of gadgets and toys priced to perfection. Writing in her new book "Homecoming," Financial Times columnist Rana Forohoor explains that one of the reasons why discount stores like Walmart and the Dollar Tree exist is because American consumers – having lost middle-class wage-earning blue-collar jobs to offshoring – have had little choice but to turn to the corporate discount stores. These people have all been downsized. [more...]

Only Nixon Could Go to China; Only Biden Could Bow to China

By Daniel Greenfield

Biden spent over three hours meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping who, hopefully if the meeting went well, offered Hunter Biden a job. During their joint opening remarks, a reporter asked if Biden would press Xi about China's lack of human rights. A Chinese Communist thug quickly pulled her back and then pushed her to the door. Biden said nothing while an American reporter was attacked in front of him. In his opening remarks, he failed to not only mention human rights, but Taiwan, despite pledging several times to defend it, the persecuted Christians of Hong Kong being crushed under the Communist boot, the Communist concentration camps and labor gangs, the shipments of fentanyl that are killing Americans, and the origins of the COVID-19 virus. Biden mentioned absolutely nothing of relevance to America's national interests. [more...]

David Zucker's Serious Warning

By James Hirsen

David Zucker, best known for the legendary spoof flick "Airplane!" "Naked Gun" and "Scary Movie" franchises happens to be one of our culture's current reigning experts on all things funny, and he's sounding an alarm bell for all to hear. Lucky for us he has joined the ranks of other comedy greats who have issued similar warnings: Dennis Miller, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Gilbert Gottfried, Mel Brooks, Adam Carolla, Steve Harvey and John Cleese. The giants of humor are all saying pretty much the same thing - that Tinseltown's head honchos and their like-minded fellow residents of the New Woke Hollywood are virtually strangling comedians, comedy writers and comedy itself. [more...]

GOP Will Gain Senate Control

By Dick Morris

Republicans will gain a majority in the Senate in today's midterm elections and hold 52 to 55 seats. I do feel that in Pennsylvania, [GOP Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet] Oz is going to win. Oz is locked in a tight race with Democrat Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in one of the nation's most closely watched midterm races. Many of the races will likely be decided by the "undecided" voters, who I believe will break for the Republicans amid the current problems caused during the first two years of Biden's administration and the Democratic Congressional majorities. In all of these close races, I think the Republican has the advantage because they are usually the challenger and the Democrat is the incumbent.

Veteran's Day and the Midterm Elections

By Scott Powell

Military enlistees and veterans have traditionally been one of the most patriotic groups. And with 11% of the electorate being made up of military enlistees, veterans, and retirees, let’s hope that this mid-term election will deliver results that not only shutdown CRT, but also lead to impeachments and court martials, and prompt a patriotic cultural renaissance within our Armed Services. It cannot come too soon. [more...]

Here's How Pharmaceutical Drugs are Recalled and Why Some Might Still Remain on the Shelves

By Kenneth Rapoza, China Expert/Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

Recently, Pfizer and Indian drug lab Aurobindo had to recall some drugs due to an overabundance of carcinogens in the mix. Did you know that the FDA is NOT responsible for pulling tainted drugs off the shelf and that is the responsibility of the manufacturer themselves? Can we trust big pharma? If not, what about imported pharma from India and China? [more...]

Democrats Are Arrogant and Elitist and Don't Deserve to Win

By Cheryl Chumley

Calling out half-to-maybe-more-than-half of America's citizenry as ignoramuses who need someone to tell them what to do and how to properly live their lives, and then setting up the Democrat Party as filled with just those kinds of people is not smart politicking. We now face a red wave for House, Senate and gubernatorial seats that even the most ardent pro-Democrat water carriers in the press can't deny. So why do Democrats continue to express their elitist and arrogant views so arrogantly? It's because they’re not so much political pragmatics as true believers in themselves. They honestly cannot accept the idea that Joe Truck Driver is an equal. They sneer at the notion Jane Homemaker in Hillbilly, U.S.A., could possibly understand how government works, how the economy works. They gasp at the image of a trailer dweller in the Deep South rising to the same level of success as a born and bred Yankee with pedigree degrees. Yet that's American exceptionalism - this is what a nation based on God-given liberties gives: All are created equal, endowed by God with unalienable rights. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is an inherent right of each, no matter the zip code. This is what Democrats detest. [more...]

Lori Lightfoot Accuses 75% of Chicago of Being Sexist Racists

By Daniel Greenfield

With a 25% approval rating, no one wants her around.

Last year, Chicago's failed racist mayor had a 26% approval rating... up from 16%. Those are challenging numbers even for Chicago elections in which polls matter much less than poll workers and counting the votes is the real democracy. That didn't stop Lightfoot from announcing that she was running again during the summer. Chicagoans greeted it with the same enthusiasm as a dead rat in the gutter. "I get angry. They say, sometimes, I take things personally. You know what I say? They're absolutely right," Lightfoot rambled in her reelection video. City residents have been taking her crime wave personally. And they’re angry too. [more...]

Congress Needs to Investigate the Criminal Snooping of The FBI and HHS

By Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network

Federal law enforcement agencies are violating the 1974 Privacy Act by gathering, storing, and demanding social media posts be throttled or censored

Last week, Intercept (a leftwing, online news publication) shook America with the astounding revelation that the FBI and Homeland Security are working with Big Tech to scrub the Internet of information they label "inaccurate." Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. The goal of the government is to scrub the Internet of social media posts that "drive a wedge between the populace and the government." To that end, agencies inside the FBI and Homeland Security – that previously focused on international terrorists, such as ISIS – are using their snooping tools to go after Americans who post "misinformation," "disinformation," or "malinformation."

How Jimmy Kimmel Became a Democrat Hack

By James Hirsen

A lot of folks have been wondering what's up with Jimmy Kimmel. The late-night comic has become more and more vicious in his politics and extreme in his one-sided humor.
