The Nation in the Bubble
This week, the Biden administration received just the latest slap in the face from cruel reality: An economic report showing just 194,000 jobs added in the month of September, short of the 500,000 jobs forecast by most economists. The unemployment rate dived to 4.8% from 5.2% -- not as a result of job gains, but as a result of more and more Americans dumping out of the work force. Meanwhile,…

For an encore of her incendiary rant about the entire right loving Covid, MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid initially seemed to have backed down on Thursday following Wednesday’s viral comments, but that went by the wayside as she falsely claimed conservative icon Ben Shapiro was an anti-vaxxer and white supremacist, insisted it was necessary and “rational” to be an anti-vaxxer under Donald Trump…
Our Elective Monarchy
In 1629, frustrated by the unwillingness of Parliament to grant him taxation power, King Charles I of England dissolved the body and had nine members arrested.

In 1640, forced by military necessity from…
How Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire Is Battling Back Against Biden’s Mandate

Welcome to the Forever Pandemic
This week, as President Joe Biden attempted desperately to distract from his ongoing surrender in Afghanistan and the attendant chaos in its wake, the White House turned its eyes once again to the issue of COVID-19.

UNREAL: The Washington Post Wants to Censor Real News

On Not Just Afghanistan, Biden Chooses Decline
In November 2009, the late Charles Krauthammer gave a seminal speech, titled “Decline Is a Choice.” In it, Krauthammer stated, “The question of whether America is in decline cannot be answered yes or no.

The Demise of the Love Gov
This week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York resigned his office. It was a stunning turnabout for a man who had been proclaimed a hero of the republic by the entire media just last year, even as he presided over the worst COVID-19 spike in the United States and covered up the deaths of thousands of nursing-home patients. Trevor Noah declared himself a "Cuomosexual"; Chelsea Handler gushed about…
