The chart: Bidenflation

Man, it must be brutal being a Democrat right now, breathlessly waiting for the '28 presidential election so you can finally get Trump out of your head and get a good old progressive back in the Oval Office. The problem? The potential candidate list so far is laugh-out-loud pathetic, a sad list of mostly failed “leaders” who almost all carry mountains of political baggage around their necks. You’ve got to choose between the Queen of Emptiness and Word Salads, former Democrat presidential nominee and VP Kamala Harris, the walking meme that is NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the not ready for prime time Illinois governor,

As a committed interventionist, John Bolton is, you’ll be shocked to learn, not on board with eliminating the Deep State’s cash cow that is USAID. In voicing his dissatisfaction with the work of DOGE vis-à-vis USAID, he also pledged to bring back Voice of America, the U.S. government’s global propaganda machine. (For the last decade and longer, prior to its dismantling by the Trump administration, Voice of America had also distributed its content domestically, explicitly targeted at a domestic audience, illegally.) I speak as an alumnus of AID in the Reagan administration back when we were trying to reform it…

Not content with claiming the Earth is going to spontaneously combust if all the world's nations don't send their residents back to the Stone Age, climate change activist Greta Thunberg is now headed to Gaza. As is always the case with communists, the cause is never the cause. It's just a means to an end, so the target is constantly shifting. Thunberg has decided that donning a keffiyeh and falsely screaming "genocide" will garner her the most attention at this moment. In her latest stunt, she is now on a sailboat from Italy that is supposedly headed to Gaza to "break the siege."

Donald Trump was not given a heads-up about Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strikes that took out a huge fleet of Russian planes on Sunday, according to reports. Ukraine’s “large-scale” drone attack launched deep into Russian territory wiped out 40 military bombers and targeted five bases, Ukrainian security sources told CBS News. The attack took over a year and a half to plan and was personally supervised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the sources added. Ukrainian officials did not give the Trump administration advance notice of the attack, both Ukrainian and U.S. officials told Axios.

An Egyptian national who came into the country two years ago and overstayed his visa has been charged in the gruesome terror attack that left six people injured in Boulder, Colo., Saturday, authorities said. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene, (Snip) Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sources told Fox News Soliman is in the country illegally as a visa over-stay, who came in during the Biden administration. He allegedly flew into the U.S. on Aug. 27, 2022, arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa. Soliman was authorized to stay through Feb. 26, 2023, but never left,

When the left runs out of substantive arguments, they pull out the same tired talking points. Chicago’s far-left, radical mayor, Brandon Johnson, is the latest example. During his weekly press conference, Johnson claimed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is “an act of war” and that the Trump administration is similar to “the Third Reich.” Johnson claimed Chicago is the most “pro-worker” city in the U.S., but is facing “hostility” from Washington. Johnson whined, “The fact that the President of the United States of America is cutting off food supply and medicine to working people and families across this country — that is an act of war.”

If you’re old enough to remember when Bill Clinton was president, you would recall that he was a silver-tongued, energetic politician who could fire up his supporters and excite the Democrat base—that is, at least, until he met Monica Lewinsky. There is little of that fire left in the two-term president, as he has for some time now seemed low-energy and not particularly passionate. On Sunday, however, he showed that he can still drop some all-time whoppers when the time is right. Appearing on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the former president minimized the mental decline of Joe Biden

Ukrainian forces have wiped out dozens of Russian military aircraft, including nuclear bombers, in a massive drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s air bases deep inside the country, Kyiv sources are claiming. The mission carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) drones hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four separate airfields thousands of miles from Ukraine, a security source told the Kyiv Independent on Sunday. The drones were reportedly smuggled into the country hidden in trucks. TU-95 “Bear” nuclear bombers, TU-22 “Backfire” fast-attack strike bombers and A-50 “Mainstay” command-and-control jets were among the aircraft that were destroyed in the strike, according to reports.

Americans may not have as many rituals as some other peoples do, but we have some. One of those is graduation, symbolizing the transition from one stage of life to another and a celebration of a young person’s accomplishments. (We may actually overdo these, as what was once a transition from college and high school studies is now often celebrated from even pre-nursery school.) Still, it plays a significant part of life, structuring time and change. Parents and grandparents who sat through boring recitals, sports events, prize days, supported kids dealing with difficult interpersonal issues,

Have you considered that you simply don't hate the press enough? If you think you do, you might find yourself reconsidering after reading this latest story. As RedState reported, a pro-Palestinian terrorist in Colorado threw Molotov cocktails at peaceful marchers as they silently remembered the hostages being held by Hamas. The attack took place in Boulder, injuring at least five people. Police arrested Mohamad Soliman at the scene, with videos showing him shouting "Palestine is free" and "end Zionists" as he attempted to burn innocent people alive. [Tweet, video] In the aftermath of such an attack,

Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office. The lawmaker’s verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of “harboring rioters” in a dramatic confrontation caught on video. “President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,”

Multiple press outlets, including Fox News, the Associated Press, CNN, the BCC, and other outlets, ran with a report early Sunday morning claiming Israeli forces randomly opened fire on civilians gathered to collect aid. Sourced by the "health officials" and "witnesses," the claim involved dozens being killed and "at least" 175 injured.  Here are some excerpts from Fox News' report, which largely regurgitates the Associated Press' reporting.
