Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has once again been indicted on corruption-related charges, raising the question of just how much duplicity Democrats are willing to ignore among powerful members of their own party.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) seemed to draw a wrath as powerful as a thousand suns last week when it was revealed she was kicked out of a performance of Beetlejuice at a Colorado theater because of rude behavior. After a video showed Boebert vaping, violating rules against using cameras and video during the show, and engaging in inappropriate behavior with her companion for the evening, the outrage against her grew even louder. The congresswoman messed up. But you don’t have to take my word for it; take Lauren Boebert’s word.
JOE BIDEN'S INTENTIONAL CRISIS. The continuing incursion of illegal border crossers into the United States is the most astonishing story in American politics. There have been days recently in which 10,000 people crossed illegally into the country — and remember, in a long-ago era, when Barack Obama was president, a tenth of that was considered a crisis.
Despite outward appearances, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump increasingly resemble each other. And they are taking steps to be even more alike.
Traditionalists fighting their rearguard skirmishes against the slobification of America suffered another defeat recently when the U.S. Senate abandoned its expectation that men wear a jacket and tie when on the Senate floor.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) presided over the Senate last week in clothes that more resemble what one wears when cleaning a septic tank rather than one of the most prestigious jobs in the country. It was degrading, embarrassing, and the nation’s latest left-wing cultural downgrade courtesy of the “fashion enlightenment” and new rules imposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). The decision is beneath the dignity of the office of the Senate, and Republicans should not take it sitting down.
Ukraine has received billions of dollars in aid from the United States to help with its war with Russia. Despite this, Democrats in Congress want to send even more to the war-torn country. And they are willing to do so even if it means a government shutdown in this country.
Bidenflation may have been forgotten by many media pundits, but its effects still haven’t gone away. In fact, California is feeling the worst of it at an all-too-familiar location: gas stations.
Every now and then, you have to allow yourself to be happy at someone else’s misfortune. You’re not supposed to, of course. Schadenfreude is often considered an unattractive emotion that leads to a curdled and bitter perspective. But my motto is, as long as it doesn’t get out of hand, there’s nothing wrong with celebrating the failures and reversals in another person’s life. For instance, I read recently that almost 95% of all non-fungible tokens, those digital “assets” everyone was talking about a few years ago, are totally worthless.
The Raiders may have left Oakland for Las Vegas, but a villain big and bold is still robbing residents of their gold — or, more specifically, their outboard motors.
