As the government shutdown continues, Democrats insist they won’t reopen the government until Republicans agree to extend the enhanced Obamacare subsidies. Reminder: these aren’t subsidies that started with the original program but, rather, a temporary pandemic-era spending program that subsidizes insurance companies instead of providing medical care. Worse, Democrats’ justification for this shutdown is built...
When Senator Ted Cruz challenged Microsoft one year ago over their funding of NewsGuard’s so-called “media literacy” program, the company claimed it had cut ties. Microsoft asserted its support was limited to a one-time 2018 donation and subsequently asked NewsGuard to remove their name from its website. Senator Cruz, acting in good faith, praised this apparent disavowal believing Microsoft...
George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking...
I never thought I’d see the day. Grading standards in college have grown so lax (nearly 50% of all college grades nationwide are A’s) that now even the students—the students!—are demanding that professors grow a spine and grade them honestly. In August, a letter was sent to President Donald Trump by the student body presidents...
Editor’s note: Chuck DeVore’s essay, “Gavin Newsom: Nepo Baby,” was published in Newsmax’s print-only magazine. Here are some excerpts. California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, 58, is going to run for president. Newsom’s unique attribute is his ability to lie. Not just lie, but lie earnestly. Newsom’s lies are so bold, they’re the political equivalent of...
Every Friday morning, I join the Cardle & Woolley Show on Talk 1370 Radio in Austin to announce the week’s Winners & Losers. We are now officially in the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history and the only thing Congress agrees on is that nobody trusts anybody enough to even begin to make a deal....
On August 11th, 2025, Magnolia Independent School District (Magnolia ISD) ordered a bond election to be held on the uniform election date, November 4th, 2025. According to its website, Magnolia ISD is expected to exceed 22,000 students by 2034, which it believes warrants the construction of new facilities, specifically one new high school, two new...
Their post-Civil War ‘Redeemer’ ancestors smeared troops as despots and ‘usurpers.’ Today’s left smears ICE and Border Patrol as fascists — different century, same betrayal. America again stands on the edge of betrayal, watching mobs assault federal officers while judges call it “restraint.” This is not new. Between 1876 and 1878, the same script played...
On Election Day, the city of Austin will ask voters to approve a massive 20% tax rate hike that many worry will spur further economic hardship, force families to flee, and grow government unnecessarily. Austin’s extraordinary ask—which appears to be the city’s largest-ever proposed tax increase—raises an obvious question: How much do Austinites currently pay...
When voters cast their ballots, they should be confident those votes are handled with care, not hidden behind closed doors. Yet in Passaic County, New Jersey, election officials are doing the opposite. The county’s Board of Elections has reportedly blocked the installation of security cameras in ballot storage areas and refused to require a sign-in or sign-out...
If Austin’s farm fiasco teaches us anything, it’s that the left’s words aren’t harmless — they’re harbingers of dehumanization and violence. In my Oct. 2 article for The Federalist, I detailed a chilling 2,500 percent spike in indexed internet content pairing “Trump” with “fascist” over the past 10 years, with the biggest surge happening since mid-2024. This...
Every Friday morning, I join the Cardle & Wooley Show on Talk 1370 Radio in Austin to announce the week’s Winners & Losers. In a week marked by an historic peace accord in the Middle East and Portland, Oregon’s naked bike ride to protest the National Guard in their city, here’s who made the list: WINNER:...
