It’s swampier than ever

Now that we have absolute proof Russia interfered in the 2016 election and knows it is free to intervene in the 2020 U.S. elections with impunity, let us turn to the stunning amount of old-fashioned corruption going on in your nation’s capital. The number of top administration officials who have left their jobs in the past two and a half years because of malfeasance is far higher than normal. (It must be made clear here that both Democrats and Republicans in office throughout our history have taken advantage of their positions to make themselves or their families and friends ...

Teacher’s immigration tweets unfairly hurt conservatives

There are a lot disappointing elements in the story of Georgia Clark, the Fort Worth Carter-Riverside High (Texas) teacher whose recent social media tirade about unauthorized immigrants prompted FWISD’s board of trustees to recommend that she be terminated. Clark, an English teacher, was apparently quite concerned by the number of students at the high school where she teaches (whom she believed) to be in the country illegally. She was so alarmed that she personally took her pleas that these students be “removed” to President Donald Trump, via her Twitter account, and even ...

When the president and congressional leaders walked away from the talks, the major losers, apart from America’s dangerously decaying infrastructure, were the millions of people who ...

Biden looks to be joining Democrats in left field

Michelle Malkin is off this week. The following is by Betsy McCaughey. Nineteen Democrats running for president took the stage in Iowa on Sunday to woo voters. It was a circus of left-wingers going bonkers for things most Americans don’t want. The front-runners back abortion anytime before birth, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, outlawing gas-burning cars, shutting down fossil fuel industries that employ millions and redistributing wealth. These White House contenders are veering far left, even though polls show half their own party’s voters aren’t ...

Once again, MLK stands accused

What are you prepared to believe about the private life of Martin Luther King Jr.? Throughout his career leading the civil rights movement, he was the target of extensive FBI surveillance, which detailed excessive drinking and extramarital sexual relationships, behavior that has been confirmed by historians. But would you believe that King was an accessory to rape? That is the explosive and highly controversial contention of the civil rights icon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, David Garrow, writing in the conservative British journal Standpoint.
