Readers of RealClearPolitics, the NY Post, Wall Street Journal, and a handful of other mostly online outlets are aware of the cascading evidence of massive corruption by President Biden and his family. But if you get your news from ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, the Washington Post, or the New York Times, you have quite possibly not been aware of it. The worst aspect is that these and other legacy media have been acting as a kind of journalistic cabal from 2016 until the present moment.

In reality, the IEA’s net zero roadmap is a green mirage that will dramatically increase energy costs, devastate Western economies and increase human suffering.

The conflicting storylines underscore how various data sets and definitions can be used to politicize and spin the problem of violent crime in the U.S., proving again Mark Twain’s caution about “lies, damned lies and statistics.” Depending on the framing, accurate sets of numbers can be assembled to tell starkly different stories about mass shootings, school shootings, and the overall correlation between gun ownership and gun violence. 

The revelation of China’s “spy base” in Cuba caused Republican Congressman Mike Gallagher to remark that “This is an attempt by the CCP to turn the Monroe Doctrine into the Mao doctrine.”  

To take back the White House and Senate and expand the majority in the House, Republicans must win over independent voters.

The country hungers for leadership that is honest, competent and determined to enforce the law evenly. That means cleaning the Augean stables at the FBI and Justice Department and gaining control over the engorged, biased and largely unaccountable bureaucracies that now rule our daily lives. 

Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears tells the crowd, “You are preserving America for the next generation.” Sears, a black Republican who served as an electrician in the Marine Corps, says that the way to preserve America is to support the U.S. Constitution – and she makes this point with an unflinching discussion of racism, arguing that America has made progress because of, not in spite of, our dedication to the Constitution.

Congress’ oversight authority is the last bulwark against the total erosion of justice. When you have leadership at DOJ, FBI, and the intelligence community all bending the knee to radical agendas to feed their own egos for the sole purpose of maintaining power, someone must answer the call.

Conservatives must also compete more effectively for the hearts and minds of the “magic middle” – swing voters who decide elections. Reaching and persuading swing voters requires different messengers, messages and message amplification than those conservatives currently employ.

The refusal of FBI Director Wray last week to honor a congressional subpoena and turn over an unclassified document to the House Oversight Committee should therefore come as no surprise to anyone, even more so since the document in question could potentially end the presidency of Joe Biden.

Most Americans believe in equality. We want to make sure that everyone has, to the greatest extent possible, an equal place at the starting line. From there, each individual has the freedom to achieve what their desires, ability, and hard work make possible. Achieving that kind of equality is the American dream, the engine that enables people from any walk of life to realize their dreams. Equity, as activists preach it, trades away this American heritage for abstractions and fantasies.

When Cato Institute co-founder Ed Crane was building the libertarian movement in the 1970s, he came across a lot of self-proclaimed conservatives. What’s notable about this is that in getting to know some of them, Crane sensed they weren’t as they described themselves.
