Democrats and their media allies do everything they can to ignore the impact of crime in Democratic-run cities. The result is that communities hurt the most by crime are ignored when things are going “well.”
Anticipating a visit to Taiwan by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — still to be planned and scheduled — China is offering a compromise. In return for allowing McCarthy to visit Taiwan without the sort of military reaction that followed Nancy Pelosi's 2022 visit to the island democracy, China wants Vice President Kamala Harris to visit Beijing simultaneously.
Gone are the days when the Rose Garden was packed with peacemakers heralding the Abraham Accords. Today, Middle Eastern leaders are flocking to the Forbidden City for the "Beijing Dialogues."
On Wednesday, three police officers were shot in Los Angeles. In a completely unsurprising turn of events, the suspect accused of shooting them is a career criminal with a felony on his record who was arrested as recently as January.
China has brokered an agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Two nations will reopen their respective embassies within two months and pursue trust-building measures. The detente is unlikely to last long, however. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are simply too distrustful of one another to build a durable partnership.
Most of us are predisposed to bad news coming from the Middle East, but the week ended on a positive note. Saudi Arabia and Iran, the region’s two heavyweights aside from Israel, struck a China-brokered agreement to normalize their diplomatic relations.
Did the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, legislation explicitly enacted with the purpose of reducing a president’s power to let illegal immigrants into the country, actually empower presidents to do the opposite — to let in infinite numbers of illegal immigrants?
President Joe Biden jumped into the fray over the Tucker Carlson Jan. 6 footage this week by tweeting his support for the Capitol Police. In a not-so-subtle attempt to try to discredit Carlson and the new footage, Biden put his sanctimony on full display as he tried to draw a parallel between the new footage and the plight of police officers on Jan. 6.
Twenty years ago, during the 2003 NFL season, conservative talk show icon Rush Limbaugh briefly worked for ESPN on Sunday NFL Countdown. During one segment, Limbaugh commented on then-Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and claimed McNabb wasn't that good a quarterback. He claimed the hype around him was not because of his performance but because of a liberal media's desire for a black quarterback to be successful. Limbaugh's comments were deemed racist, and he was essentially booted from the show.
JOE BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS' CHRONIC CRIME PROBLEM. What's one good clue that President Joe Biden really intends to run for reelection in 2024? He is trying to distance himself from the Democratic Party's soft approach to crime. The president, who in 2020 distanced himself from Democrats who advocated defunding the police, stunned many in his party recently when he announced his opposition to a lenient local law in the District of Columbia that would reduce sentences for carjackers and other criminals who use guns in the commission of their crimes.
Higher taxes, higher spending, and more debt. President Joe Biden’s proposed budget for 2024 lives up to every caricature of a classic tax-and-spend Democrat.
