Shanghai's COVID Lockdown Is a Human Rights Atrocity

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

When will the hallowed multilateral institutions of Western democracy call out China for its merciless human rights violations in Shanghai, one of the world's most famous, if not beloved, cities? What’s happening? Shanghai is on lockdown. It is, in fact, the city's first full-fledged, Wuhan-style lockdown. Some 26 million people are barricaded in their homes. Shanghai, the jewel of mainland China, is a COVID hellscape. If your kid is sick, he/she is sent to a quarantine center. If you test positive, too, you can join them. If you have pets at home, they will be left to starve. "Public health authorities" - now some of the most despised people on Earth, especially in China - round up dogs and cats left alone to cull them. That means kill them. [more...]

As Masks Come Off, Suppression Ends... Or Has It?

By Judd Dunning

Finally, America and her people can breathe freely. Freedom has overcome an abusive, punitive and controlling government using their control-based ideology to overrule basic science. The muzzling and oxygen deprivation has ended. Ironically, the Biden White House's first reaction was to grieve this loss of government power rather than celebrate the return to freedom. Seemingly sideswiped, Biden’s press secretary told reporters the administration was “reviewing the decision,” and that the Department of Justice would be making any determinations regarding litigation. The dazed White House is still ignoring its citizens’ vitality and prosperity and obsessing over its own credibility and politics. Judge Mizelle’s ruling left the Biden administration with mud on its masked face. [more...]

Elon Musk - Free Speech is Essential to a Functioning Democracy

By Scott S. Powell

Elon Musk has put his wallet where his mouth is, buying nearly a 10% ownership of Twitter - a stake worth $3.6 billion and more than four times larger than founder and director Jack Dorsey’s position. Speculation has ensued that Musk might seek more than a board seat to gain control of Twitter so as to make it a truly free speech platform. Musk has said numerous times that he is "a free speech absolutist." Well, it’s about time that a wealthy American had the courage to take an overdue step to roll back cancel culture and censorship and promote freedom of expression. After all, the Founders gave freedom of expression, along with freedom of religion and assembly, the foremost position in the First Amendment of the Constitution for a reason. At the time of America’s founding, it was widely believed that the press would play the key role protecting the people from government corruption and abuse of power. However, today the American press protects one party - the Democrat Party - not the people. [more...] [Watch Scott on OANN]

BLM Global Network Founders Are Not Interested in Black Lives

By Mike Gonzalez

Black Lives Matter benefits from a vicious cycle that allows the organization to carry on changing America beyond recognition. Large media companies like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and TV networks have imposed a news blackout that ensures that BLM supporters ignore its intent and practices. This continues to be the case despite several breaking bombshells this year alone regarding financial improprieties by the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, BLM's mothership. So, unless you are that rare BLM backer who assiduously watches Fox News or reads the New York Post or the Washington Examiner, there are a number of important things you have missed. Here's a handy rundown of just the major items, so you can e-mail it to your liberal cousin... [more...]

LA's Crime Surge Migrates to Wealthy, Whiter Zip Codes of Boldface Names

By Dr. John Lott

We decided to measure exactly how the locations of crime have been changing in a city such as Los Angeles. It is surely something people have felt was happening, but it seemed useful to actually measure the size of the change. We teamed up with James Varney at Real Clear Investigations to put this piece together. The data for this research is available here. [more...]

Biden Unilaterally Surrenders to Russia and China in Satellite Wars

By Daniel Greenfield

Kamala Harris arrived at Vandenberg Space Force Base where Discoverer-1, the first satellite to enter a polar orbit and America’s bold response to Russia’s Sputnik, was launched to announce that we would be unilaterally surrendering to Russia and China in the growing satellite wars. Last November, Russia had conducted a DA-ASAT or direct-ascent anti-satellite test which demonstrated its ability to take out satellites. The Russians had used their A-235 anti-ballistic missile system to destroy their own Kosmos 1408 satellite. The message was clear: Moscow had the ability to clear out enemy satellites in the event of any conflict. Including ours. At Vandenberg, Kamala announced that the response would be absolute and total surrender. [more...]

Black Lives Matter Leaders Aren't Capitalist Converts; They Still Want to Dismantle the U.S.

By Mike Gonzalez

Many have reacted to the news that the founders of Black Lives Matter lavishly spend donated money on luxury mansions by asking: How can Marxists behave this way? One activist was even quoted as saying that this must mean they are capitalists. This reaction, though, is based on a complete misunderstanding of the difference between Marxism and capitalism. The BLM organizations raise money in the name of social justice, but to them that does not mean helping individual Black Americans improve their lives. What it means is fundamentally altering the American system, and imposing Marxism, an alien ideology with a 100 percent rate of failure, on our country. [more...]

2020 Election Irregularities are Still Unaddressed Despite Recounts Gone Wrong, Erased Records, and Suddenly Surfacing Ballots

By Dr. John Lott

If we are going to avoid the type of debate that we saw after the November 2020 election and restore confidence, then transparency is important. Take one of the least obvious places where people have concerns about the election - Montana. Trump won the state in 2020 by 16.4 percent. But there is an election transparency problem in Missoula County, Montana's second most populous county. If errors can occur in even relatively uncontested parts of the country, we should be broadly concerned. What went wrong? Well, for one thing, it all got worse after COVID-19 made mail-in voting mainstream. [more...]

India, China Pharmaceutical Companies Face Increasing Scrutiny in Washington

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

The pandemic revealed gaping holes in U.S. supply chains. Everyone knows it. Anything medical related was front and center when it came to critical items missing in action. The country's over-reliance on China and India, especially for medical supplies, namely key generic drugs, is finally getting Washington's attention but little has been done to counter it so far. That is likely to change. A poll by Morning Consult conducted on behalf of the newly formed advocacy group Americans for Safe Drugs showed that 85% of respondents said they were concerned about the drug industry's reliance on India and China. Another 70% said that the U.S. should not be reliant on foreign sources for key generic drugs. That reliance is stark. [more...]

Legislation Would Ensure Some Criminals Serve 100% Of Their Sentence

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

There is legislation that is making its way through the state legislature called the Truth In Sentencing Bill that would expand the list of offenses that would mandate an inmate serve 100% of their sentence. I SUPPORT THIS BILL and let me tell you why. Right now, victims are lied to everyday in criminal courtrooms across Tennessee when they are told their attacker will serve 100% of their prison sentence. How do I know?  THIS HAPPENED TO ME. [more...]

SNL Goes on the Attack Against Elon Musk

By James Hirsena

Unfortunately, much like the news scripters at MSNBC, SNL's comedy writers have become apparatchiks of leftist media autocrats. The recent treatment of Elon Musk is a prime case in point. Many view Elon as a modern-day Edison. He's an entrepreneur extraordinaire and highly successful business magnate to boot. His recent treatment by SNL is serving to underscore the fact that decision makers of the show have been bowing lower and lower to a media monarchy that in turn has been bowing to a shadow ruling class. [more...]

The Unbearable Lightness of Bernie

By David Horowitz

Bernie Sanders is the founder of the Progressive Caucus and most popular figure in the Democrat Party. He is also the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and therefore a key player in determining how Washington decides to spend taxpayers’ dollars. Bernie is also a lifetime fan of Communist regimes and apologist for their totalitarian practices – and atrocities. He supported Iran’s Islamo-fascist regime in 1979 when it made hostages of 52 American diplomats and embassy workers, held them for 444 days, and chanted "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" – repeating the threats through time. [more...]

Easter Celebrates the Event That Forever Changed the World

By Scott S. Powell

If the world around you seems to make less sense with every passing day and you feel as though you live in a matrix where you only hear the vocal minority call evil good and good evil, take heart for there is a place where everything makes sense. And it is right around the corner. Now more than ever - with governmental authority gone awry with mass purveyance of deception, with culture adrift and postmodernism now giving way to transhumanism - Americans are increasingly turning to religion to find answers. World religions have different founders, prophets and teachers going back thousands of years.  But only one of them, Christianity, has a founder who professed to be the Messiah - the son of God - who provided irrefutable proof of who He was by conquering death through resurrection.  Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrection. [more...]

Progressive Crime Syndicate

By David Horowitz

In a previous article, I explained that “progressivism is a criminal mentality.” By progressivism, I mean every political philosophy that regards itself as “revolutionary,” or “transformative,” that describes itself as socialist, communist, fascist or jihadist – or that believes “the moral arc of the universe that bends towards justice.” The belief that history is marching towards justice is a cult ideology refuted by the mass genocides of the modern era, which were carried out by Marxists and Nazis. The belief that the world is marching towards justice, that progressives are “on the right side of history” is a delusion that will justify any atrocity and already has. [more...]

The Left's War on Childhood

By Daniel Greenfield

From Greta Thunberg to children put on puberty blockers, the victims of the war on childhood are everywhere. They show up at environmental or gun control rallies holding up giant signs in their little hands, they’re indoctrinated at school to enlist as child soldiers for the latest cause. Adults tell them that unless they save the world, they won’t even live long enough to grow up. At the heart of the exchange of political buzzwords of the culture war is a simple question about whether childhood should exist. [more...]

Anti-Dumping and Trade Deals Holding Manufacturing Jobs Hostage

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

The 7th round table hearing held by the International Trade Commission recently focused on anti-dumping, steel tariffs, manufacturers held hostage to geopolitical trade risks, and the economic dead zones from Ohio to Alabama, the Carolinas to California, all blamed on the wonders of "free trade." How bad is it in California? One participant from Los Angeles noted that 11% of students in its public colleges are, or were, recently homeless. In Missouri, one professor said drugs and hopelessness have upended the job market as manufacturers left. “Learn to code” and jobs at the Dollar store aren’t going to cut it. [more...]

Pay No Attention to the Healthcare Catastrophe Behind the Curtain

By Sally Pipes

A new report from the Biden administration purports to be a clear-eyed assessment of where the Affordable Care Act stands after 12 years on the books. In fact, it's a piece of pro-Obamacare propaganda - and an especially dishonest one at that. Titled "The State of the ACA," the study opens with the assertion that Obamacare "is at the strongest point in its history." For evidence, it points to record-high enrollment on the law's health insurance marketplaces. Such cheerleading conceals a far bleaker reality. Obamacare has made coverage unattractive and unaffordable for millions of Americans. [more...]

Elon Musk Takes Over Twitter

By Steve Turley

Ultra-billionaire and free speech champion Elon Musk has begun taking over Twitter. It was just announced that the Tesla CEO has taken a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter, purchasing over 73 million shares worth nearly 3 billion dollars. And as such, Musk is now officially the largest shareholder in the company. Musk’s 9.2 percent stake is quadruple the 2.25 percent stake that the founder, Jack Dorsey, has. He owns four-times worth of Twitter stock than its founder owns. 'Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?' asked Musk. 70 percent of respondents responded 'No,' and keep in mind that Elon Musk conducted this poll on Twitter. [more...]

Elon Musk - Free Speech is Essential to a Functioning Democracy

By Scott S. Powell

When Elon Musk took on Twitter, saying that "the social media platform was failing to adhere to the principles of freedom of expression," many wondered what's up. Then on Monday, it was reported that Musk had put his wallet where his mouth is, buying nearly a 10% ownership of Twitter - a stake worth $3.6 billion and more than four times larger than founder and director Jack Dorsey's position. There is wide speculation that Musk might seek more than a board seat to gain control of Twitter so as to make it a truly free speech platform. He has said numerous times that he is "a free speech absolutist." Well, it's about time that a wealthy American had the courage to take an overdue step to roll back cancel culture and censorship and promote freedom of expression. After all, the Founders gave freedom of expression, along with freedom of religion and assembly the foremost position in the First Amendment of the Constitution for a reason. [more...]

The Taliban's Greatest Asset Isn’t Opium... It’s Our Foreign Aid

By Daniel Greenfield

Over two decades the U.S. and its international partners poured billions in humanitarian aid into Afghanistan. Much of that aid went into the pockets of the Taliban. After Biden’s retreat, the Taliban have consolidated control over Afghanistan. And over all the hungry children, the girls deprived of an education, and all the other sob stories that kept a river of private charity and taxpayer money flowing into a hellhole in which nothing ever got better. At an aid conference hosted by the UN, the UK, Germany and the Islamic terror state of Qatar, which backs the Taliban, $2.4 billion was raised for Afghanistan. The hosts had demanded over $4.4 billion which would have been the largest amount ever raised for any nation. The Biden administration kicked in another $204 million. [more...]

Disney Now Caught in its Own Mousetrap

By James Hirsen

Disney has painted itself into a corner. The predicament in which the entertainment media giant now finds itself is one that is self-made. It is also one from which the company is unlikely to escape unscathed. Some of the policies implemented and statements recently made by a number of Disney's top-level executives have created a backlash from all sides of the ideological and cultural spectrum. And the whole thing may wind up being one of the worst public relations disasters in the history of corporate Hollywood. [more...]

Understanding the Progressive Mind

By David Horowitz

All self-styled revolutionaries are criminals in the making.

Everyone in Washington understands the basic causes of inflation. If you print more money than you have, real assets like gold to back it up, you devalue your currency and make everything cost more. If you declare war on fossil fuels, shut down pipelines, close vast oil fields like Anwar, and don’t approve drilling licenses generally, you cause the price of everything to go up, because virtually everything requires energy to produce. If you spend vast amounts of government money inducing individuals not to work, employers will raise wages to entice them to work, and that, too, will cause prices to go up. It’s not rocket science. [more...]

Biden Got 255,000 'Excess' Votes in Fraud-Tainted Swing States in 2020

Biden received hundreds of thousands of "excess" votes in Democratic-controlled areas in the 2020 election, according to an academic study on voter fraud that suggests the push to relax voting standards created new opportunities for electoral mischief. John R. Lott Jr., the man behind the research, teased out those numbers by comparing Democratic-dominant areas to Republican-dominant places over the past two presidential elections, particularly in places where claims of election fraud were reported in 2020. Looking at six swing states, the data he crunched found that voter turnout in Republican areas increased from 2016 to 2020 while voter turnout among Democrats dropped - except in places where voter fraud was claimed.

All self-styled revolutionaries are criminals in the making.

Everyone in Washington understands the basic causes of inflation. If you print more money than you have, real assets like gold to back it up, you devalue your currency and make everything cost more.

If you spend vast amounts of government money inducing individuals not to work, employers will raise wages to entice them to work, and that, too, will cause prices to go up. It’s not rocket science.

Despite understanding these consequences, the Biden administration has instituted all these inflationary measures, and avoided taking responsibility for them and the suffering they cause. They did this to advance their progressive agenda, which is really a reactionary socialist agenda that has not changed its fundamental premises since 1848, when Marx published what is and has always been the progressive agenda. The Biden reactionaries denied their responsibility for the costly and dangerous inflation their policies have created in the way they normally cover up their assaults on the public - with two obvious lies.
