The Point

Bad news for the big Dem “Fund the Police” rebrand. The highlight of the Democrats rebranding from “defund the police” to “fund the police” was going to be linking a police funding bill to a gun ban, packaging the two together, getting Republicans to oppose them, and suddenly Democrats could pretend that they were the […]

The lefty argument has been that the economic problems we’re facing are a global, not a national phenomenon. Gas prices, inflation and economic numbers were bad all around. And then we got the expected bad news. The U.S. economy shrank for a second quarter in a row—a common definition of recession—as the housing market buckled under rising […]

Americans have gotten very comfortable thinking that 9/11 is in the rearview mirror and that after Afghanistan and Iraq, we’ve done enough and we don’t have to think about it anymore. Islamic terrorist plots keep happening and migration is changing the country’s demographics. Mehmet Oz’s GOP/MAGA Senate nomination in PA has been a political game […]

The subject under discussion is anti-American tattooed WNBA player Brittney Griner.  After enough pressure from his black nationalist caucus, the Biden administration decided to set national interest and national security on fire to extricate her from Russian custody at all cost. Blinken said Washington would like a response from Moscow. Russia has for years expressed interest […]

Much like you don’t leave a dog in a car on a hot day, you don’t leave your political allies just waiting around asking for favors. It’s bad for the whole corrupt system. Allies to President Biden are voicing frustration about the political operation inside the White House as the midterm elections draw closer and the president […]

A lot of conservatives have abandoned conservative priorities and bet everything on anti-woke coalitions with Democrats, liberals and leftists. Culturally it makes a certain amount of sense, but it has hollowed out the movement. And it’s meant energy and money going to liberals and in some cases hard lefties, like Glenn Greenwald or outright Marxists, […]

If Congress were to introduce a bill to nuke the entire country, they would call it the “Save America Act of 2022”. In that same spirit, a corrupt arrangement by Senate Democrats to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to worsen inflation with corrupt spending has been dubbed the “Inflation Reduction Act of 2022″ What could […]

The recession is here, but we’re not allowed to say it.  In hasty preparation for the announcement that the economy had shrunk for two straight quarters, the Biden administration, Democrats and the media hurriedly rushed to redefine the meaning of “recession” even when it clearly conflicted with their pre-existing views. It’s not a recession, they […]

The worst administration ever keeps working hard to earn the name. The U.S. has offered a deal to Russia aimed at bringing home WNBA star Brittney Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday. Blinken said Washington would like a response from Moscow. Russia has for years expressed interest in the release of Viktor […]

Have the monkeys complained? The head of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene called on the World Health Organization (WHO) to rename monkeypox to prevent the “potentially devastating and stigmatizing effects” that the virus’s name could bring about. Maybe “stigmatizing effects” would be a net plus for a disease brought on […]

If this doesn’t work out, Chris Cuomo should really go into comedy. If he can be this funny unintentionally, just imagine how hilarious he could be if he really put his mind to it. “My schtick is having no schtick,” he said. “I love confrontation. I love friction. And I think that I can be […]

Who doesn’t want to get into a staring contest with Joe Biden? China’s Xi is happy to do it. The latest pretext is Pelosi’s planned trip to Taiwan. China, smelling a weak old horse, has been aggressively amping up the rhetoric and the threats. And Biden has been pushing Pelosi to cancel the trip, which […]

In last’s week article, Biden Gave TikTok a Pass. American Kids Died, I noted the devastating consequences of Biden’s appeasement of China.  In the summer of 2020, President Trump imposed sanctions on TikTok, and in the next summer, Biden lifted them in his own executive order. While the Biden administration claimed that it would scrutinize the […]

Yes, a decade later this case is still stuck in our legal system. But at least there’s some progress on the justice front. A U.S. appeals court decided Tuesday that a Libyan man’s 22-year sentence for his role in the 2012 Benghazi attack wasn’t enough. Ahmed Abu Khatallah, 51, was originally convicted in 2018 on […]

When Samantha Bee’s Full Frontal first aired, the ads declared, “Watch or You’re Sexist.” Like the show, that tagline turned out not to be a joke.  Along with the various painfully unfunny lefty Daily Show retreads, the mess stuck around for seven seasons, but now that Peak TV is crashing, it’s gone. Full Frontal with […]

Interesting trend. A new generation of j schoolers had begun to organize newsrooms, create pressure groups, oust colleagues and organize to get editors fired. This was what lefties had been doing successfully in academia and they swiftly made inroads. Two data points make a line, not a trend, but they’re striking nonetheless.  The Washington Post […]

We often think of institutions as inherently corrupt. And some are. But within the FBI it’s very much a case of political agendas being played out by certain figures.  “Highly credible” whistleblowers have come forward to a senior Senate Republican alleging a widespread effort within the FBI to downplay or discredit negative information about President […]

The significance here is that Democrats are obsessed with baking in censorship, what they call “disinformation”, into any online national security venture. And they need the right sorts of people for that. Stewart has the right sorts of politics and the Google connections. So she’s a perfect pick for Biden and a horrifying one for […]

Gun control is usually a cynical response. It’s especially a cynical response in school shootings which were often overlooked internally with horrifying consequences from Parkland to Uvalde. But Uvalde has set a high water mark for a mismanaged school system that wrecked its own security setup followed by a local political cover-ups on the actions […]

Ex-NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio leaves politics as he found it, as a disgusting creature incapable of accepting responsibility and looking for scapegoats. After failed presidential, gubernatorial and congressional campaigns in his wake, he’s back to doing what he did best as mayor, blame the Jews. In an interview with the anti-Israel Forward rag, Bill […]

It’s not a proper shakedown unless Ben Crump shows up. $27 million in the George Floyd case, $12 million in the Breonna Taylor case, and $1.5 million in the Michael Brown case. Ben Crump’s business is smearing cops and intimidating cities into offering huge settlements in the hopes of avoiding even more expensive BLM race riots. Neighborhoods […]

40% is not a small amount. The media presents expert opinions and we all too often absorb them. Even the most skeptical of us think that the experts know what they’re talking about. Surely they couldn’t be wildly wrong about their claims. Right? An estimated 3,726 to 5,578 tigers currently live in the wild worldwide […]

Remember Obama’s “horses and bayonets” sneer in response to Romney pointing out the sad state of the US Navy? Same people are running the show in the Biden administration and they intend to destroy as much of America’s military as they can manage in four years. And that includes the Navy. On one end is […]

Federal lockups come in minimum, low, medium and high-security flavors. Ghislaine Maxwell is suddenly going from total monitoring during her trial to low security. Convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved 1,000 miles to a soft, low-security prison in Florida — one where inmates enjoy movies, a running track and even yoga in the yard. The disgraced […]

I liked it better when the Iraqi Information Minister wasn’t on our team. “This is not an economy that is in recession,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told moderator Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”  “You don’t see any of the signs. Now, a recession is a broad-based contraction that affects many sectors of the economy. We just don’t have […]
