President Joe Biden, meanwhile, is ramping up his campaigning.That juxtaposition — Trump[…]

    KJP's response to Biden's 'my uncle Bosie was eaten by cannibals' claim is ALMOST as funny as Peter Doocy's reaction The D.C. swamp is so irredeemably bad that sometimes you just need to laugh at it. And that’s exactly what Pat Gray did when Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Biden’s strangest claim to date: that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea when his plane was shot down during WWII. “Why is President Biden saying that his Uncle Bosie was eaten by cannibals?” Doocy asked with a[…]

  • Scientific American pushes claims that science-based critiques of gender ideology are 'misinformation,' 'violence'

    Blaze Media Apr 23, 2024 | 21:00 pm

    Gender ideologues have the Biden administration and multitudes of Democratic lawmakers across the country dutifully advancing their agenda and victimizing multitudes of Americans, but apparently that's not enough. They also appear keen to have the broader public buy into their narrative around sex, genital mutilations, and transgenderism. In an effort to overcome or at the very least sidestep the common citizen's common sense, social constructivists have in recent decades attempted to mask their reality-defying philosophy[…]

    Why single women don't vote Republican (and probably never will) While many Republicans blame Donald Trump for the lack of female support in their party, women’s blue voting patterns began far before his reign. And Steve Deace has the receipts. As early as 2004, John Kerry polled at 18+ points more with unmarried women than George Bush, who polled at 10+ points more with married women. The trend continued with each election up until 2020, with the only exception being Hillary Clinton polling at 2+[…]

    The INFURIATING truth about New York's 34 counts against Trump While the media suggests there’s a mountain of evidence against Donald Trump in his hush money trial, the actual evidence tells a different story.

That payment is $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, which he is accused of covering up. “There is no mountain of evidence that is standing in the way of anything other than[…]

    Gorsuch leads the charge against judicial overreach Liberals control the legal profession, from the law schools and litigious nonprofits to the bar associations and judges (including many Republican appointees). Judicial supremacy, implemented through “universal injunctions,” allows any liberal legal group to tap one of 670 district judges in 94 district courts to decide on a broad range of public policies, which the political elite then treat as “law.” The good news: Evidence seems to suggest that at least three Supreme Court justices[…]

Michael Lind has written a provocative commentary, partly in response to John Judis and Ruy Texeira’s recent book, “Where Have All the Democrats Gone?” Lind would have us believe that the Democratic Party will do better in November than its naysayers suggest. Contrary to what Texiera-Judis maintain, namely that the Democrats have lost their traditional working-class base and may no longer be flourishing among racial minorities, the Dems supposedly have the wind at their back.[…]
