The Biden administration doesn’t need to answer questions
Politico has noticed that few people from the Biden administration have been appearing on the Sunday news programs: Just one senior administration official was booked on the five major Sunday shows: Treasury Secretary JANET YELLEN on ABC’s “This Week.” She … Continue reading →
Some Democrat senators briefly leave the reservation and the left is outraged
The situation was a vote on the minimum wage hike to $15, but for some people the issue was not primarily the hike itself but the process by which it was being voted on. It was attached to the so-called … Continue reading →
More trouble for Cuomo
Now we have this: Andrew Cuomo’s aides asked the state health department to change its definition of COVID nursing home deaths, it has been claimed, in a bid to reduce the total and lessen the criticism of the embattled New … Continue reading →
In no surprise, HR1 passes in the House…
…along strict party lines. This is the Democrats’ top priority, something I’ve written about several times before on this blog (see this, for example). One would think that if Democrats cared to fix the fact that half the nation doesn’t … Continue reading →

One by one, the Democrats will be trying to destroy all the Republicans they fear for 2024
Since the Democrats pretty much own the media, and since they are gatekeepers for social media as well, they are able to coordinate their tactics and timing. Right now, there’s a full court press on the ridiculously trivial Cruz-in-Cancun story. … Continue reading →
The Democrats’ most recent attempt to pass a Bill of attainder would be laughable…
…if it was a joke. But this is not the Babylon Bee, and this is not the Onion. What am I referring to? It’s so awful that even some Democrats are angry at the bill’s sponsors. The bill is called … Continue reading →
