On Saturday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said that Iran was “essentially pushed into saying, we’re going to take control of” the Strait of Hormuz “and we’re going to now use economic risk as our substitute for military strength.” Jayapal said that there is a “massive amount of chaos that everybody across the world is looking at, because, obviously, most of the oil — 20% of the oil flows through that Strait. So, it doesn’t just affect folks at home. And I know, in my home state, gas prices are now at $7. … And so, it is really causing enormous havoc. And prices are

The video about the two gay dads and their baby, who keeps saying “maa-maa-maa,” isn’t bad for the reason people say it is—namely, that the baby desperately wants mommy, not daddy—although it’s still bad. However, when it comes to all the moral wrongs of surrogate parenting, there’s actually an even more disturbing video out there. Two points, before getting to the gay dads and their “maa-maa-maa” baby, one factual and one anecdotal. The factual point is that “maa-maa-maa” is the first sound almost all babies make. That’s why so many cultures have that sound in their preferred word for what a child calls its mother. Whether spoken with an American, English, Spanish, Italian,

The Seventeenth Amendment was ratified in 1913, during the height of the Progressive Era. Reformers argued that state legislatures had become hopelessly deadlocked and corrupt. Between 1885 and 1912, legislatures deadlocked seventy-one times over Senate selections, leaving at least seventeen seats vacant for entire sessions or longer. States went unrepresented in Washington, while lawmakers wasted months on partisan warfare. Scandals amplified the outrage. In Montana, copper baron William A. Clark admitted to spending the equivalent of millions in today’s dollars to buy his seat; the Senate refused to seat him. In Illinois, Senator William Lorimer was expelled in 1912 after evidence showed that four state legislators

Amidst the ongoing conflict in Iran, a major political event took place in the United States on April 16, 2026, that deserves more attention and scrutiny than the mainstream media will likely devote to it. The event to which I refer to is the victory of Analilia Mejia in the New Jersey special election for congressional district 11. Mejia’s decisive win in the seat formerly held by New Jersey governor Mikie Sherrill should send political shockwaves because I think it is more than fair to say that she will likely be perhaps the most socialistic member of Congress. When asked if she would join “The Squad” shortly before the election,

I do like to follow up and keep you all on top of where things stand with some of the previous stories I've covered. Sometimes, it's true, there's not much to write about because whatever happened happened and then they lie there like a dead bug until they shrivel and go away of their own accord. In other cases, there can be happier resolutions, which is always cheerful news, but those are admittedly rare. Most wind up in the slow-rolling disaster column, and man - that does seem to be the case with the Biden administration's $1.6B push to electrify city transit fleets. ...E-buses have been purchased by transit agencies

It was quite a week. The Democrats decided they needed to get rid of a candidate in the crowded field for Governor of California, and the fall guy was Eric Swalwell. It turned out that the Democrats and their reporters had known all along that Swalwell was a sexual predator, but until now it wasn’t opportune to mention it. President Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus, or maybe just as a doctor, healing someone. That prompted howls of outrage from the people who are always howling in outrage, and an extraordinary outpouring of memes showing Trump and others as Jesus, or just as healers. Speaking of Jesus,

As some readers might be able to identify, I’m getting less and less inclined to be gracious toward the third-world individuals with subhuman levels of intelligence, and a culture to match. Having just returned from a beautiful trip around the U.K. with my two sons last month, I take particular umbrage with all-too-common instances like this, because where else but Europe, by virtue of its location and history, can you find longstanding examples of Western greatness and heritage? (X) If you didn’t watch the whole video, the Arab man is tearing a hole in a historic stone wall that’s been standing for centuries, because he apparently can’t figure out

LEESBURG, Fla. - The Lake County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who they say attempted to shoot a dog that was attacking a woman. Instead, the person of interest shot the dog's owner, killing him, deputies said. Now, deputies are searching for the man, who they say ran away from the area after the shooting, officials said. Schools in the area are placed on lockdown due to the police activity. What we know: The shooting reportedly happened around a homeless camp, on April 17 near Griffin Road and Tally Box Road, in Leesburg. According to LCSO, a woman was reportedly being attacked by a large dog. A man, later identified as

In one of the most out-of-touch examples I’ve seen of Democrats in recent weeks, we’ve now got Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker yelling at her constituents over a new tax she wants on each and every ride-sharing journey: if enacted, all Uber and Lyft rides would have an additional dollar tacked on (to support the dying city education system), which in a substantial number of instances, wouldn’t be a miniscule tax. (The average cost of a rideshare in Philadelphia is somewhere between $16 and $24, or 6.25% and 4%, respectively.) Parker wonders “how dare” the citizens and voters question how much she wants to take out of their pockets for others’ expenses:

Mark Levin labeled the Democrat party the Party of Hate; others have described it as the Party of “Death to America.” A good case can be made for both descriptions. The statement that the Democrat party is the party of sexual perverts is not an ad hominem statement, nor meant as an insult. Rather, it is intended as an accurate description, easily verified. This moniker is something that Republicans should hammer home with the public (but probably won’t; to do so “wouldn’t be polite”). Coming from a research background, I often cite data — that is, lists of facts, without intervening flowery statements. While general accusations

Police fatally shot a woman who they said cut a 3-year-old boy in the face during an alleged kidnapping attempt at a Walmart in Omaha, Nebraska, Tuesday morning. Two officers shot the woman, Noemi Guzman, after she cut the boy and refused to drop a knife she had stolen from the store, the police department said in a news release. Guzman, 31, made multiple threats with the weapon before the officers opened fire, the department said. The child was taken to the hospital with a large cut across his face and is expected to recover, Omaha Deputy Police Chief Scott

In a little over a year in office, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has achieved a series of military triumphs that have not, perhaps, been equaled since World War II: the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, and the air campaign against Iran’s regime. These missions have been flawlessly executed by Hegseth’s department, so naturally the Democrats want to impeach him. The first articles of impeachment were filed in January by Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar, but got little attention. A new, expanded set of articles was filed today. You can read the document here. Axios describes the articles here. The impeachment resolution is being introduced by
