The Democrats’ Anti-Business Policies Create The Food Deserts They Decry
The Democrats’ Anti-Business Policies Create The Food Deserts They Decry: After the Rodney King riots in LA in the early 1990s, news organizations told us endlessly that citizens were angry about the food deserts in minority communities. I remember thinking there might be another reason why there were no stores in the neig...

Now We Are Supposed to Cheer Government Surveillance?
Now We Are Supposed to Cheer Government Surveillance? Somehow – call me naive – I just didn’t expect the New York Times to be all-in on the immediate establishment of the surveillance state and universal censorship by the “awesome” Deep State. But think of this. If the NYT can be fully captured by this ideology, and probably captured by the money that goes with it, so can any other institution. You have probably noticed a similar editorial line being pushed by Wired, Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, Salon, Slate, and other venues, including the entire suite of publications owned by Conde Nast including Vogue and GQ magazine.

Is Joe Biden a sitting duck? Biden should be more concerned than anyone about the precedent the Trump trials are setting
Is Joe Biden a sitting duck? Biden should be more concerned than anyone about the precedent the Trump trials are setting: With news about the White House's collusion with prosecutors in the slew of trials thrown at President Trump as he campaigns for re-election, it's natural to think that Joe Biden and his mentor, Barack Obama, are mainly interested in knocking...

Guest Column: PA House Democrats Throw Women Under the Bus
By Lowman S. Henry
The Left has become adept at using various issues as a wedge to gain political advantage with women voters. They have been particularly effective in using so-called “reproductive rights,” mischaracterizing the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision as having taken away those supposed rights even though the court merely returned the issue to the states where it properly belongs.
But, as the saying goes, they are “all hat, and no cowboy” when it comes to protecting actual women. Here in Penn’s Woods Pennsylvania House Democrats have been particularly brazen in throwing women under the bus if acting on their behalf in any way threatens their tenuous hold on legislative power.
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has been a chamber virtually evenly divided since the beginning of the current session. Capitalizing on the most egregious Gerrymandered set of district lines in the Commonwealth’s history, Democrats seized a one-seat majority in the 2022 elections.
Plagued by one death and multiple resignations the chamber has periodically fallen into a 101-101 tie. This has prompted Democrats to use various tactics including the snookering of several Republicans to vote for a supposed “non-partisan” temporary House Speaker to hold the chamber in recess for months using the flimsy excuse of fixing a leak in the chamber ceiling.
The latest example of Democrats’ prioritizing political power over protecting women occurred last week when Speaker Joanna McClinton allowed State Rep. Kevin Boyle to vote even though he was on the lamb hiding out from law enforcement seeking to execute a warrant for his arrest for allegedly violating a protection from abuse order. McClinton and House Democrats showed no concern for the female victim who filed the protection from abuse order, feeding instead their lust for legislative power.
A variety of excuses were forthcoming. Rep. Boyle, who was recently involved in a drunken rant at a local bar, was said by defenders to be suffering from mental health issues. If indeed that is the case, then Mr. Boyle should be given the appropriate medical care.
But there are larger issues here. First and foremost: is his flight from the law in any way imperiling the safety of the woman who filed the protection from abuse order? Second, should a fugitive from justice be permitted to cast a vote – or have someone else vote for him – in Pennsylvania’s legislative body?
Realizing the optics of the situation House Democrats decided to propose new rules for expelling a member. Getting back to our analogy theme that is the equivalent of closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. Time will tell if any action will follow.
Sadly, this is not the first time House Democrats have placed power over people. Last Spring, their majority still teetering by one vote, House Democrats obfuscated as then-Rep. Mike Zabel of Delaware County stood accused of sexual harassment by a labor union lobbyist. It took pressure from female Republican House members to force Zabel’s resignation.
Likewise, Gov. Josh Shapiro has placed political expediency over the protection of women. One of his top aides, former Secretary of Legislative Affairs Mike Vereb, was forced to resign in the wake of sexual harassment allegations lodged by a female staff member. Vereb remained on the job for months while a taxpayer-funded monetary settlement of $295,000 was negotiated and paid to the victim. The issue only gained traction when state Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward and other female legislators forced it into the public spotlight. As did his colleagues in the state House, Shapiro placed power and perception over the protection of women.
There has been much ado made over the fact House Speaker Joanna McClinton is the first woman to occupy that leadership role. While that is indeed an accomplishment you would think she would use that position to further the protection of women. Instead, she has prioritized the protection of her political majority. It is a choice that will tarnish what should otherwise be a shining legacy.

WHO Official Admits the Truth About Passports
WHO Official Admits the Truth About Passports The World Health Organization’s Dr. Hanna Nohynek testified in court that she advised her government that vaccine passports were not needed but was ignored, despite explaining that the Covid vaccines did not stop virus transmission and the passports gave a false sense of security. The stunning revelations came to light in a Helsinki courtroom where Finnish citizen Mika Vauhkala is suing after he was denied entry to a café for not having a vaccine passport.

The Nursing Home Paradox
The Nursing Home Paradox The inference from the lengthy paper is the opposite of what many would have thought: the greater the mitigation efforts in US nursing homes, the higher the death toll during the pandemic. Those efforts not only largely failed to reduce Covid mortality, but they also added non-Covid deaths. The more they tried to mitigate, the worse the outcome was.

A disgrace for the US Senate
A disgrace for the US Senate: There is no more room in our country for fools; we are full up. We have been bested by the best of fools — the U.S. Senate, in which today, mostly thanks to Chuck Schumer but really thanks to all the Democrats in the Senate, it has been made clear that no tradition, no constitutional respect, and no national empathy exists anymore on Capitol Hill. The American people are past being outmaneuvered and now stand askance, beaten down by the fools and rogues in D.C. with far too much power on their hands and far too weak to care. These senators all well know the critical jam we’re in with Biden’s open border — and today, they not only let us know they don’t care, but rub our noses in it, not even allowing our fears and our despair their day in court.
Biden 'honors' his fallen WWII serviceman uncle by telling some peanut gallery he was eaten by cannibals
Biden 'honors' his fallen WWII serviceman uncle by telling some peanut gallery he was eaten by cannibals: Putting on his 'Scranton Joe' hat and making a pitch for the elderly military vote, Joe Biden went to Scranton, Pennsylvania to honor his uncle, a second lieutenant in the Army Air Force named Ambrose Finnegan who died over the Pacific in 1944.
But instead of honoring his uncle's ultimate sacrifice for the country truthfully and reverently -- he made up a kitschy tale about his uncle getting shot down over New Guinea island and getting eaten by cannibals.

Joe Biden says things, and then there’s reality
Joe Biden says things, and then there’s reality: Joe Biden is out in Pennsylvania saying that Trump got rich the old-fashioned way: he inherited it. At least that is an honest way to get rich. Trump inherited money, and he took a massive amount of risk and created a huge number of jobs.
Biden, on the other hand, got rich the same way a lot of politicians get rich. He used his powerful position in government and took his son around the world on government-paid transportation, collecting kickbacks from a number of adversaries, including Russia, Ukraine, and China. The only thing the Biden family had to sell was access to Joe.

Defending Trump’s Abortion Stance
Defending Trump’s Abortion Stance: If Lincoln was going to be elected in 1860, he wasn’t going to succeed calling for the abolition of slavery. Trump has decided that pushing federal abortion elimination is a losing proposition in 2024. Like it or not, Trump is right about the politics of the issue. A majority opposes ending abortion. He’s right to assert that the U.S. Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade and returning abortion to the states is where this historic issue needs to be. But let’s stress, for the time being.
With everyone having fun exposing NPR’s leftist CEO, it’s also time to expose NPR
With everyone having fun exposing NPR’s leftist CEO, it’s also time to expose NPR: X/Twitter is overflowing with tweets exposing the lockstep leftism that defines NPR’s new CEO, Katherine Maher. She’s in the spotlight because Uri Berliner, an NPR employee, wrote about what’s long been obvious, which is that taxpayer-funded NPR functions as a branch of the Democrat Party. However, Berliner just focused on a few political reportorial crimes that NPR committed (e.g., its anti-Trump bias, hiding the Hunter Biden story, ignoring COVID’s lab origins, etc.). What Berliner didn’t touch upon was how radicalized everything at NPR is.
A Massive Government-Censorship Industrial Complex
A Massive Government-Censorship Industrial Complex: SCOTUS will rule in June 2024 on a First Amendment free speech case the federal judge called “the most massive attack against free speech in United States history” and the circuit court judge described as “fairly unsubtle strong-arming” by government officials using “mafiosi style” threats to increase regulation. Should government officials immediately cease contacting social media companies to censor content, with exceptions for illegal speech? The U.S. government attorney, Brian Fletcher, eloquently argues for SCOTUS to discuss the following theoretical legal issues regarding free speech censorship on social media rather than specifics of the case.
Karl Marx Conquers American Medicine
Karl Marx Conquers American Medicine: In early April, it emerged that a Marxist, pro-Hamas, anti-American guest speaker gave a two-hour-long lecture at the UCLA Geffen School that included an invocation to kneel in prayer to momma earth and stand up and scream for Hamas. This proves that Marxist ideological argot, the canons of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), intersectionality, and critical race theory have infiltrated American medicine.

The new NPR CEO is the living embodiment of the Democrat party
The new NPR CEO is the living embodiment of the Democrat party: Last week, a moderate(ish) Democrat broke ranks with NPR, writing an exposé to protest that NPR was more ideologically extreme than even he could tolerate. Uri Berliner described an outlet that receives significant funding from federal and state taxpayers but is completely dominated by hardcore, progressive Democrats. He ascribed many of the problems to former CEO John Lansing, who was all-in on DEI and other woke policies, and expressed hope that the new CEO, Katherine Maher, a tech leader, would bring positive change. That’s unlikely. Maher, 40, has embraced every extreme idea the Democrats have promulgated in the last 20 years.
The Deep State’s Accelerating Attacks On Trump Show A Consciousness Of Guilt
The Deep State’s Accelerating Attacks On Trump Show A Consciousness Of Guilt: Joe Biden has proven to be a puppet of the Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs—a true Manchurian Candidate. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s princeling, raked in millions of dollars at arm’s length from Uncle Joe for the Biden crime family from adversaries for no credible business reason. Why?
The purpose was to gain access to Joe Biden for favorable policy decisions and actions, i.e., going soft on China and Russia, releasing funds to the Iranian Mullahs whose proxies attack Israel, selective prosecution of political enemies, and allowing a two-tiered justice system.

The Fundamental Unraveling of America
The Fundamental Unraveling of America: By now, it must be overwhelmingly apparent to every American citizen that what candidate Barack Obama promised on the campaign trail back in 2008 has come to pass. Obama touted a “fundamental transformation of America” if elected president and, once elected, he proceeded to accomplish that one huge goal. The question in 2024 is whether enough people want to make the effort to re-ravel America to the normal, constitutional nation she once was.

Trump’s Stormy persecution versus Biden fiddling while our republic burns
Trump’s Stormy persecution versus Biden fiddling while our republic burns: In an age when the drumbeats of potential global conflict are almost drowned out by the sound of political intrigue at home, the spectacle that captures America's imagination is none other than the courtroom drama starring former president, Donald Trump. As nations posture and alliances shift, suggesting a prelude to what could escalate into World War III, the United States seems more engrossed in the hush money case involving Trump. It's as though our political narrative has been penned by a playwright specializing in the absurd.
David Ignatius notes we’re at the ‘precipice’ of war that ‘no one wants’ but ignores the culprits
David Ignatius notes we’re at the ‘precipice’ of war that ‘no one wants’ but ignores the culprits: David Ignatius, a Biden campaign worker posing as a WaPo journalist, says “no one wants” the war that’s about to kick off in the Middle East; so why do Ignatius and his media cohorts actively campaign for the people who have actively and continuously funded the war and the terrorists, while seeking to destroy President Trump? It was Trump who kept the Middle East relatively peaceful as he financially starved Iran of its ability to sponsor aggression.

Israel's right to defense in the face of unprecedented challenges: In previous decades, it was customary for sitting presidents to refrain from berating and criticizing the work of previous presidents, but Joe Biden has never been one to engage in human decency. Thus, from the onset of his presidency, he has relentlessly scapegoated President Trump to deflect criticism of his nearly four years of failed leadership.
