Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has shuttered a travel loophole that allowed travellers to sidestep a flight ban from India by transiting through the Middle-East. The announcement comes amid a massive surge in CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases in India, which has so far claimed more than 200,000 lives. In response, the Australian government paused…
McCarthy Says Biden’s Massive Tax-and-Spend Plans Make Bernie Sanders ‘Look Like a Conservative’
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s massive early-term spending proposals, comparing the president to one of the most left-leaning lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). McCarthy tweeted a critical meme on April 29, the day that marked Biden’s 100th day in office, accusing the president of…
Has Climate Change Become a Tool of Social Control?
Commentary A puzzle of contemporary society is the broad acceptance by young people—Millennials and Generation Z—of their lot. True, they haven’t been conscripted to fight an inglorious war as the early Baby Boomers were in Vietnam. But in many other respects, they have strong grounds for feeling shortchanged. Economies in the developed world haven’t boomed,…
Biden Must Hold the Line on Nuclear Deterrence
Commentary If the United States retreats in its nuclear posture during Chinese and Russian nuclear modernization, nuclear war is more likely—not less. Congressional Democrats have advocated for just that, arguing that the Pentagon budget should be cut, and nuclear weapons production should be shelved. A 2019 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report pegged (pdf) the cost for…
Biden Finally Acknowledges the Armenian Genocide and Ignores Communist Mass Murder in China and Cambodia
Commentary “Each year on this day,” reads an April 24 statement from the Biden White House, “we remember the lives of all those who died in the Ottoman-era Armenian genocide and recommit ourselves to preventing such an atrocity from ever again occurring.” Readers might wonder who the White House means by “we.” Each year Joe…
Biden Tries to Rally Support in Georgia for $4 Trillion In Spending Plans, Paid for By Tax Hikes
President Joe Biden spoke at a drive-in rally in Georgia on Thursday, seeking to build public support for $4 trillion in new spending on infrastructure and a vast expansion of the federal social safety net, to be paid for chiefly by tax hikes on corporations and wealthy Americans. Moments after Biden took to the stage…
Potential 2024 Candidates Cruz, Hawley Vow to Stop Accepting Corporate PAC Contributions
Two potential Republican presidential candidates said Thursday that they will not accept donations from corporate political action committees (PACs). “In my nine years in the Senate, I’ve received $2.6 million in contributions from corporate political-action committees. Starting today, I no longer accept money from any corporate PAC. I urge my GOP colleagues at all levels…
To Defeat White Supremacism, Fight Critical Race Theory
Commentary President Joe Biden, in his address to Congress, repeated his absurd claim that white supremacism is “the greatest” threat facing the country. He then proceeded to promote the defamatory mythology solely responsible for the recent disturbing rise in white supremacism. This truly dangerous incoherence requires a bit of unpacking, beginning with some simple definitions….
Data Undercuts Myth of ‘Racism’ in Police Killings
Commentary President Biden claimed that Derek Chauvin’s conviction on Tuesday, April 20 “ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism” of police. With the police shooting that same day of 16-year-old girl in Columbus, Ohio, the White House again pushed the racism claim, noting that this was just another example…
The Republican Party’s Woke Capital Awakening
Commentary One of the unfortunate vestiges of liberalism’s lingering influence upon American conservatism, and by extension the Republican Party that is conservatism’s default political vehicle, is the pervasive knee-jerk tendency to view government action as per se bad and private-sector action as per se good. This ideology, which might be called “market fundamentalism” or “private-sector…
