Democrat Policies Cause a MASSIVE Increase in the Homeless Population

Written by Trevor Thomas

On a recent X post, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) lamented the level of homelessness in the U.S. Sanders declared,

This is the richest country on earth. 770,000 Americans should not be homeless, and 20 million more should not be spending over half their incomes on rent or a mortgage. We need to invest in affordable housing, not Trump’s massive tax breaks for billionaires.

Sanders post was in response to an AP  post that revealed that “the U.S.… Continue Reading

The 2024 Festivus Report is Ugly

Written by David E. Smith

If you are not familiar with the annual “Festivus Report,” by U.S. Senator, Dr. Rand Paul (R-KY), and are concerned with out-of-control government spending, you will want to read this short summary.

The “Festivus Report” is a mind-blowing critique of irresponsible (if not reckless) federal government spending. The 2024 report highlights $1,008,313,329,626.12 (that’s over $1 trillion) in government waste, detailing the ways our taxpayer dollars were used unnecessarily and/or frivolously.Continue Reading

Let ‘Sanctuary’ Cities Keep Millions of Illegal Aliens, Without Federal Funding

Written by Robert Knight

The Democrats’ “resistance” to the incoming Trump administration and Republican-led Congress is quickly taking shape.

The usual left-wing media smear machine is in full gear, taking aim at several of Mr. Trump’s nominees.

But the most interesting action is in California, where Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, the state’s would-be savior, is acting as if a foreign power will soon occupy America.

A couple of weeks ago, he called a special session to ask the Democratic-dominated Legislature for $25 million to create a fund for lawsuits against Mr.… Continue Reading

Trump Must Shut Down Biden’s Refugee Disaster on Day 1

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Who is the victim and who is the aggressor in a conflict between Bashar al-Assad’s Alawites and Sunni “rebel” terrorists in Syria? What happens when ISIS clashes with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, other al-Qaeda factions, Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army fighters, and pockets of Hezbollah militias thrown into the mix?

Under Joe Biden’s insane refugee policies, both sides can claim credible fears of religious or ethnic persecution from their rivals. As a result, we’ve allowed individuals from all these warring groups into our country to live as our neighbors.… Continue Reading

Pretending There’s No Cost in Biden’s Mass Importation

Written by Tim Graham

The Trump-loathing media hates the notion of mass deportations. They are upset that voters support it. After the election, a CBS News poll found 57% of Americans are ready to put the brakes on illegal immigration.

On Dec. 8, ABC “This Week” moderator Martha Raddatz pressed conservative U.S. Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) on the cost:

“A recent analysis found it would cost about $315 billion and take at least 10 years to deport everyone in the U.S.

Transgender Delusion Needs to End

Written by Robert Knight

About half of America’s 50 states seem to care more about children’s well-being than about being sufficiently “woke.”

That’s why they don’t embrace gender insanity and instead ban puberty-blocking drugs, cross-sex hormones and irreversible surgery for minors.

The U.S. Supreme Court this past week heard arguments on Tennessee’s law barring trans treatments for minors.

Some justices blew wide holes in the case for creating trans kids. But it’s by no means a lock that this allegedly conservative court will restore sanity on this issue.… Continue Reading

Supreme Humiliation: Justices Brown-Jackson & Sotomayor Disgrace the Court

Written by Peter Heck

I know it sounds crazy to say in our modern era, but the federal judiciary was little more than an afterthought to the Founding Fathers who designed our constitutional system.

Thomas Jefferson, the same guy who penned a fairly scorching list of grievances against unaccountable, tyrannical government, entitled the Declaration of Independence, called the federal judiciary the “least dangerous” branch.

Well, Thomas Jefferson never met Ketanji Brown Jackson or Sonia Sotomayor.

I’m assured that if he had, the third president might rethink his comfort level with unelected, black-robed lawyers, being able to operate as an oligarchy, legislating, vetoing, and dictating from the bench.… Continue Reading

Trump’s Border Strategy Exposes Myths About Posse Comitatus

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Our military was not built for urban renewal projects in Kabul or to referee Sunni versus Shia conflicts in Baghdad. Its primary purpose is to protect our country from foreign invaders. If the military cannot be deployed to address the millions of people strategically funneled into the country by ruthless drug cartels — cartels that are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans with fentanyl — then what purpose does it serve? The fact that these individuals do not remain near the border does not transform mass removals into a domestic law enforcement issue; it remains a matter of national defense.… Continue Reading

Sharpton’s National Action Network Receives $500K From Harris Campaign

Written by Michael Tennant

MSNBC claims it was “unaware” that Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign had donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s activist organization just weeks before Sharpton interviewed Harris on the network.

MSNBC isn’t saying what it plans to do about this supposedly shocking revelation, but one employee claims it is raising eyebrows among his co-workers, who consider it a “bridge too far” even for notoriously lax MSNBC.

Kampaign Kontributions

On November 12, the Washington Free Beacon reported that the Harris campaign had contributed $250,000 to Sharpton’s National Action Network on September 5, and again on October 1.… Continue Reading

Climate Hysteria is About to Meet its Match With Chris Wright

Written by Robert Knight

Somehow, I don’t think the phrase “make my day” says enough about President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees.

Now that former U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz, Florida Republican, has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general, the most outrageously volatile pick has to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of health and human services.

I’m not sure this will go over well with everyone, but anyone who gives Anthony “gain of function research” Fauci nightmares and has the pharmaceutical giants nervously watching their share prices fall is probably in the right place.… Continue Reading
