Hundreds of transactions between Biden family members and foreign sources were flagged as “suspicious” by U.S. banks and forwarded to law enforcement for investigation. Now congressional investigators want to know why and whether there was an effort by federal officials during the 2020 presidential election to cover up unethical and possibly illegal Biden family business […]
Chase Neill may have regrets about representing himself. The 32-year-old Kansas man failed to persuade a jury of his innocence after plotting to kill Congressman Jake LaTurner, R-Kan. While cross-examining LaTurner, Neill claimed that he never threatened to murder the representative but was forwarding a message from God. A jury of Neill’s peers was unconvinced, […]
Police in Monticello, Iowa, say a man who was shot and killed after breaking into a home in the small town last week was known to the home’s owner. In fact, authorities say 30-year-old Pattrick O’Brine and the woman who owns the home had previously lived there together while they were a couple. It’s unclear […]
With the threat of tactical nukes detonating over Ukrainian battlefields arguably diminished, some Kremlin puppets, including religious leaders, have changed their tune. Instead of vowing to reverse Moscow’s fortunes in a blinding flash of light, one of Russia’s leading talking heads is now calling for the wholesale slaughter of U.S. troops. Addressing the quagmire in […]
Teen Vogue once again is misinforming its readership and promoting policies without backing them up with solid reporting. The Federal Trade Commission, led by Lina Khan, is proposing that non-compete agreements should be banned. The truth here is a little more complex. Non-competes have, arguably, got out of hand. Hamburger flippers should not be asked […]
In researching some of the Russian weaponry being used in Ukraine and ran across the TOS-1, which led me to the phrase Rocket Propelled Flamethrower. Now I had never heard of such a thing. My military occupational specialty involved machine guns, not rockets. This genre of weapon is popular enough that the USA had one […]
The latest Gallup poll of national party identification shows that after two decades of Democrat dominance under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, Republicans have jumped into the lead under a flailing President Joe Biden. When asked to choose between Republicans or Democrats, Gallup finds 45 percent of Americans identify themselves as […]
You would never know Americans use guns four to five times more frequently to stop crime than to commit it, especially when entertainment TV portrays the opposite. When an alleged armed robber barged into Ranchito #4 Taqueria on Jan. 4, almost every customer froze with fear. But one good Samaritan, an unnamed 46-year-old man, quickly […]
Washington, D.C. – In January of 1973, the United States Supreme Court leapfrogged the legislative process by handing down an opinion that made abortion on-demand legal throughout the United States. In the 50 years that have passed since Roe v. Wade was decided, the nation has been split by a cultural debate that even today […]
The name Joe Biden appears in a 2017 email sent to his son Hunter discussing a lucrative business deal with China. According to emails recovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop, Louisiana-based lawyer Robert Fenet worked to help broker the multibillion-dollar deal, on behalf of Hunter and Joe’s brother, Jim, to supply China with liquefied natural gas […]
The new Republican House majority is on record that it wants to reduce federal spending. Or rather, they want to roll back spending on discretionary programs. How much? Less than one might think, but enough to send official Washington into a tizzy. According to Roll Call: Total “base” appropriations for fiscal 2023, excluding supplementals and […]
The Alarming Reason Democrats Are Embracing States’ Rights
Politicians at the national level are generally uninterested, if not outright hostile, to the idea of federalism. Rather than allow states to exercise their authority under our federal system, national politicians, of both major parties, prefer to consolidate power in official Washington whenever and wherever possible.
