Ideology, taken to extremes, tends to reject observed truths. Thus, American leftists, with monopoly control of major urban areas and academia, preside over spikes in homicides, open drug use, homelessness, and ridiculous historical fabulism. Many of the elite claim with straight faces that there are 81 genders while simultaneously staking a sacred belief in “science.” Such willful...
In dictatorial nations, such as China or the old Soviet Union, anti-science Lysenkoism can have free range — with disastrous consequences. Ideology, taken to extremes, tends to reject observed truths. Thus, American leftists, with monopoly control of major urban areas and academia, preside over spikes in homicides, open drug use, homelessness, and ridiculous historical fabulism....
Once again, California is showing us the future — and it’s wracked with labor strife, high prices, government bloat and abject failure. And nowhere is this more apparent than in California’s government education system. Some 48,000 unionized graduate student workers at 10 University of California campuses went on strike three weeks ago, demanding “significantly higher wages, expanded childcare...
Days after a less-than-disastrous midterm, an unpopular President Joe Biden announced that he intends to run for reelection in 2024. Democrats face a weak and aged bench — though one Democrat who might play Ted Kennedy to Biden’s Jimmy Carter, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, just saw his narrow path to the White House become even...
At the G-20 meeting in Indonesia on Monday, President Joe Biden met with the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping. But while Biden focused on climate change, the Chinese have been cloaking their preparations for war as a green energy push. Rather than follow up on his mostly tough rhetoric on China over the past...
President Joe Biden’s border policies have led to monthly records of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border and being shipped, most often by the federal government, to different cities across the nation. In fact, some 2.2 million people have taken advantage of Biden’s aversion to enforcing immigration law, meaning the nation is on track to see close...
How did crime re-emerge as a major concern for voters? According to a Fox News poll of registered voters conducted Oct. 9-12, 89% of voters are “extremely” or “very” concerned about inflation and higher prices while 79% say the same about crime, the number two concern. We know that in the tumultuous summer of 2020, “Defund the...
In California, the embarrassing disconnect between the state’s whole-of-government approach in the fight against climate change versus the smoking reality of spectacular failure is seen where it counts: in the real world. A Wall Street Journal editorial on Oct. 23 cited a University of California study finding that California’s 2020 wildfire emissions “were two times higher than...
Gasoline prices will soar after the Democrats’ midterm shellacking. Why? Power. For many politicians, as well as parties, the point of power is power. Biden campaigned against American oil and gas, saying he would “end fossil fuels” with no more pipelines and “no more drilling on federal lands, no more drilling, including offshore, no ability...
President Joe Biden’s war on American energy started the day he took office on Jan. 20, 2021 and hasn’t let up since. Voters pay the price. In the last 12 months, Biden’s policies have pushed prices higher by 8.3 percent; gasoline is up almost 26 percent, and food up 11.4 percent. America went from energy dominance under...
Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and former Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke faced off Friday, September 30 for a one hour televised debate in the Rio Grande Valley—the epicenter of America’s illegal immigration crisis under President Joe Biden. It was no surprise that illegal immigration was the debate’s foremost topic. And the way the issue played...
What is the Biden administration’s official policy and endgame on the border and immigration? Simply put: overwhelm America with millions of illegal immigrants and force Republicans to the table to agree to grant citizenship to millions of people here illegally while promising to secure the border. Of course, Biden won’t admit that. Instead, we’re left...
