Former Florida legislator Mike Beltran seeks to oust 10-term incumbent Kathy Castor in 14th district, arguing she has been ineffective and out of touch with constituents.
Every demagogue needs a scapegoat to blame for the people’s hardship. For the Biden-Harris administration, that need is particularly acute because the massive inflation of the past few years, and still-too-high inflation of today, can fairly be pinned on their brazen overspending. People are particularly upset about the high prices of food, where prices have […]
Besides running so behind schedule that most people on the East Coast are in bed before the last speakers take the stage, one thing that has stood out about the 2024 Democratic National Convention more than anything has been the overt effort to cast the gathering as patriotic. For years, the Democratic Party has struggled […]
The most bizarre part of the Democratic National Convention is that Democrats are trying to get everyone to forget that they are the party in power and have been for the last four years. Democrats have spent their convention lamenting the state of the country, the political divisions, and the fact that people are struggling […]
FOR DEMOCRATS, KAMALA HARRIS DOESN’T NEED POLICIES. PREFERENCES ARE ENOUGH. Republicans are frustrated that Vice President Kamala Harris has not outlined specific policy proposals in her last-minute run for president. She has apparently abandoned some of the views she held during her failed campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2019, but no one knows for sure […]
Democrats and left-wingers throughout the country have insinuated that anyone who mispronounces the first name of Vice President Kamala Harris is engaging in racial bigotry, systemic racism, or white supremacy. It’s hard to figure out which one exactly because Democrats keep changing the prerequisites of their performative outrage and hyperbolic hysteria associated with each. Nevertheless, […]
Democrats want paradoxes to rule the election. They want to praise President Joe Biden as one of the best presidents the nation has seen, while Vice President Kamala Harris ditches nearly all of his strategies and policies. They want to make a sharp turn from Harris’s stunningly low approval ratings to an entire party standing […]
Government watchdog Adam Andrzejewski died Sunday morning, but his work to hold elected officials accountable will live on through his organization, Open the Books. “He was a happy warrior,” the board of directors of Open the Books wrote in a statement. “Under his leadership, OpenTheBooks has become a highly respected well-known brand. His death is a loss not […]
Leading up to the Democratic National Convention, which started this week in Chicago, the Democratic Party once again put fertility and reproductive rights at the forefront of the presidential campaign. Democrats even have a new slogan aimed at attracting young voters. As a member of Generation Z, I think it’s pretty rich. “Mind your own […]
Many institutions and companies are finally recognizing that “good” discrimination, better known as diversity, equity, and inclusion, in admissions and hiring is counterproductive as well as often illegal. In contrast, federal agencies remain in thrall to DEI in evaluating and making grants for scientific research. Government agencies that fund STEMM, which is science, technology, engineering, mathematics, […]
Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors has put its local schools in an impossible position. In January 2021, nine of the board’s 10 members voted to adopt a sanctuary policy titled, “The Public Trust and Confidentiality Policy (Trust Policy).” The policy allows anyone, regardless of immigration status, to “access county services without fear that the information […]
Vice President Kamala Harris is anti-capitalist. She does not understand basic economics. Her words and actions tell us that. She supports price controls, and she accuses businesses of corporate greed and price gouging. Price controls don’t work. Business is a price taker, not a price setter. The free market sets prices where supply and demand for […]
During the first presidential debate, former President Donald Trump claimed the Biden-Harris administration is “trying to put [illegal immigrants] on Social Security.” So-called fact checkers immediately swarmed to debunk the Republican candidate. But he was largely correct. When most people think of Social Security, they envision the main retirement benefit for seniors. But the Social […]
Inflation and immigration remain the voters’ top concerns heading into the contest between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris this November, and the policy platform put out by the Democratic National Convention this week would only make both problems much worse. On inflation, Harris has embraced all of the huge spending that President […]
