The Congressional Budget Office now projects that the federal deficit for fiscal 2024 will total $1.9 trillion, a $408 billion increase from its projection in February that the deficit would amount to $1.5 trillion. The culprit of this 27% increase in the projected deficit? President Joe Biden‘s bailouts of student loan debt and failed banks. […]
The Democratic Party’s incoherence on gun control leads to politicians chasing the next shiny object for regulation with little regard for how to seriously address the issues they claim they are handling. Senate Democrats attempted to push through a bump stock ban by unanimous consent, which predictably failed and will turn into yet another gun […]
Four weeks after Donald Trump’s conviction in a much-criticized Manhattan prosecution and a week before the first and earliest-ever scheduled post-primary presidential debate, it’s a good time to look at how these two unusually elderly and oft-reviled candidates stand in the contest. The big news is that there isn’t much big news. Trump’s lead over […]
In the Planet of the Apes franchise, San Francisco is shown in the future as one of the few remaining human colonies. The city is overgrown with vegetation, and the buildings are crumbling, while the human government is incompetent and living under the constant threat of being attacked by mutant gorillas. Despite all this, the […]
It is quite remarkable that barely five years after winning one of its biggest parliamentary majorities in memory, the Conservative Party of the U.K. is on the cusp of a complete wipeout. Polling for the July 4 U.K. general election projects that the Labour Party will win an enormous majority of more than 200 seats […]
With more and more families opting to homeschool their children, many are calling for increased federal regulation of the education model — because restricting freedom is the model of the government these days. In the post-pandemic world, students’ learning capabilities have changed. When those in K-12 were forced into remote learning, homeschooling started growing and […]
Who qualifies as a criminal in President Joe Biden’s Justice Department? Pro-life activists, of course, as well as anyone remotely tied to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot or former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. And now we can add to that list concerned doctors who speak out against invasive gender treatments being performed on minors. […]
Visiting North Korea on Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a cooperation agreement with dictator Kim Jong Un. The North Korean leader threw out the red carpet for Putin, assembling thousands of children, dancers, and soldiers to fete him with an extravagant parade. Pomp aside, however, the two leaders each had one specific objective. Putin […]
In many ways, the Democratic Party remains stuck in 2016, and nothing makes that more clear than Hillary Clinton’s continued presence and influence in the party. Clinton told donors at a fundraiser in Virginia that it was hard to imagine that people would want to make former President Donald Trump the president once again. At […]
Two Just Stop Oil protesters sprayed orange powder paint over Stonehenge on Wednesday. As the two protesters sprayed the site’s stones, tourists viewing the monument attempted to physically restrain them. This occurred the day before the summer solstice, an important day marked by large crowds gathering at Stonehenge. By pulling this kind of stunt, Just […]
As of this writing, it appears that Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, will lose his primary to state Sen. John McGuire, who had the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. With very few outstanding votes, McGuire leads Good by a razor-thin margin of less than 350 votes out of […]
The antisemitic pro-Palestinian protesters who wreaked havoc on leftist college campuses this spring are part of a broader scheme funded by anti-Israel nations. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait have contributed a combined $10.3 billion to universities between 1986 and 2020, according to transparency nonprofit organization Open the Books. Given that more […]
The Congressional Budget Office has issued yet another warning about the federal government‘s head-first acceleration into impending fiscal crisis, not that anyone in either party seems to care much. Following the CBO’s announcement that net interest payments on the national debt are up a whopping 42% from this point in the last fiscal year, the […]
The Biden administration continually falls back on promises made to the public. While the White House has repeatedly boasted that “One Year In, President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is Driving Historic Climate Action and Investing in America to Create Good Paying Jobs and Reduce Costs,” the administration quietly funneled $50 million in taxpayer funds earmarked […]
