One of the most frustrating things about arguing with liberals is that for all the talk about trusting “The Science™,” they sure are bad at math. Or they are liars. Advertisement Or both. In any case, their grasp of facts, or their portrayal of them, is usually deceptive. Case in point:With a population of about 11% of the US, Canada has 5x the measles cases as we do. Look it up, idiots. https://t.co/sGVMzNuNsA— David Strom (@DavidStrom) December 15, 2025I have mentioned this before, and got roasted by a vaccine fanatic for trotting out numbers instead of focusing on what’s truly important, which is…

A long-simmering standoff between congressional investigators and two of the most recognizable names in Democratic politics is now headed for a January showdown. According to Fox News, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has postponed the depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton but made clear that the delay comes with a hard deadline — and consequences if it is ignored. In a letter sent Monday evening to the Clintons’ attorney, Comer warned that failure to appear on newly scheduled dates would trigger immediate contempt of Congress proceedings. The former president and former secretary of state were originally subpoenaed over…

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would not seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2028 if Vice President JD Vance decides to run, signaling early deference to President Donald Trump’s current second-in-command as Republicans begin looking ahead to the post-Trump era, as reported by the New York Post.

The FBI in summer 2022 raised repeated objections to raiding Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, warning agents did not believe the Biden Justice Department had enough evidence to establish “probable cause” that the then-former president had broken the law in handling classified documents, according to bombshell memos turned over Tuesday to Congress.”WFO [FBI’s Washington Field Office] has conducted approximately [Redacted] interviews related to this matter. Very little has been developed related to who might be culpable for mishandling the documents,” a June 1, 2022 FBI memo declared. “From the interviews, WFO has gathered information suggesting that there may be…
The Department of War will not release the full footage of a Sept. 2 strike on a suspected Venezuelan drug boat that attracted controversy over a follow-up attack on the survivors.”[W]e’re not going to release a top secret full unedited video of that to the general public,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told reporters, according to The Hill.

Former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk has begun funding Republicans for the 2026 midterm elections, cutting checks to bolster the party after a meeting with Vice President JD Vance and chief of staff Susie Wiles.Axios reported on the dinner, which took place at the Naval Observatory. The development marks a return to the campaign trail for Musk, who publicly broke with the administration on spending issues and floated the creation of a third party earlier this year. Musk briefly hit the trail this year to campaign for a Wisconsin Supreme Court race, though his efforts were unsuccessful.…
A Maryland school district about an hour northwest of D.C. approved policy changes related to gender identity last week, letting students use private facilities and participate in sports for the opposite sex and directing teachers to use their students’ preferred pronouns, WYPR reported.The amendments to Policy 443, approved 5-2 by Frederick County’s Board of Education, “call for the ‘expectation’ that teachers use the preferred pronouns of students,” the Baltimore NPR affiliate reported. They must “keep up to date on a list of the preferred pronouns for all of the students in their school,” which means the average teacher at Frederick…
James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump character was simultaneously drugged up on Adderall and Ambien on NBC’s Saturday Night Live when he falsely described his seizing of a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker as piracy and bragged about shooting down Santa Claus. Fake Trump was aboard Air Force One taking questions from reporters when he turned to Andrew Dismukes, “Now, can a man ask me a question, please? Yes, you’re kind of a man, what you got?” The bit about desiring a question from a male reporter was SNL’s way of claiming that Trump only seems to go after female reporters because…
In his Monday night newsletter, former conservative media Benedict Arnold and Status founder Oliver Darcy expressed horror that the great people at NewsNation would hire “MAGA Media type personality” Katie Pavlich away from the Fox News Channel (and Townhall) to host a weekday primetime show and argued it “makes little sense”…unless it was to explicitly curry favor with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for approval of a local TV merger? That was the conspiracy theory Darcy spun to explain the machinations behind Pavlich being offered her own show and more money than FNC was offering to re-up as a contributor and…

Even though we’re only nine days away from what Andy Williams sang as the most wonderful time of the year, it’s been a pretty dismal news cycle the last 72 hours or so. Whether it’s the two Iowa National Guardsmen who were killed in an ISIS ambush in Syria, the mass shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island, and the absolute Keystone Cops response by local law enforcement, the awful antisemitic attack on Jews beginning their Hanukah celebration on Bondi Beach in Australia, or the tragic killing of Rob and Michele Reiner, allegedly stabbed by their own son, Nick, it…
Vice President J.D. Vance stated on Tuesday that he only believes in conspiracy theories that are “true” in response to a question about a report that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles called him a “conspiracy theorist.” Vanity Fair published its interview with Wiles on Tuesday where it quoted her saying that Vance has “been a conspiracy theorist for a decade,” though she later called the article a “disingenuously framed hit piece” on the administration. During a speech in Pennsylvania, Vance told a reporter with The Washington Post that he has believed many things deemed conspiracies by the media,…

House Republicans are plowing ahead with a bipartisan permitting reform bill this week as the issue of deregulation takes center stage in Congress approaching recess, despite opposition from some hardliners. If signed into law, Republican Arkansas Rep. Bruce Westerman and Democratic Maine Rep. Rep. Jared Golden’s SPEED Act would reform the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a keystone federal environmental law that the White House recently targeted. Like many deregulatory proposals, environmental groups are fighting the SPEED Act, though some hardliner House Republicans have also been resisting the measure, arguing that it would pave the way for offshore wind projects President Donald Trump…
BRUSSELS (CN) — European Union leaders gather Thursday and Friday for what senior officials are calling a “make-or-break” summit, with deep divisions threatening to derail key decisions on financial support for Ukraine and a major South American trade deal.The two-day European Council meeting — comprising all EU leaders — comes at a precarious moment for the 27-nation bloc. With Washington pushing a Ukraine peace plan that sidelined European leaders and Trump openly courting the continent’s far-right movements, conventional wisdom suggests the EU should be rallying together.Instead, member states are pulling in opposite directions on multiple fronts, raising questions about whether…
Newly declassified emails paint a far more conflicted picture behind the FBI’s 2022 raid of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, revealing internal concern over whether agents had enough evidence to justify such a dramatic step. According to Fox News, records reviewed by Fox News Digital show that, in the months leading up to the August 2022 search, FBI officials repeatedly questioned whether probable cause existed to raid the Florida residence. Despite those doubts, the search went forward amid pressure from the Biden Justice Department. In one key email exchange, an FBI assistant special agent in charge acknowledged that investigators had…

This story was originally published by Real Clear Wire. By Samuel Abrams , Joel Kotkin Even as many scholars and pundits deny the differences between the sexes and vastly expand the concept of gender, society is increasingly dividing along these clear and simple lines. Mountains of data and broad-based studies show that men and women increasingly inhabit separate psychological, relational, and civic universes that interpret adulthood, authority, intimacy, and obligation in profoundly different ways. The most visible sign of this cleaving of the sexes is the steady decline of marriage and childbearing. The share of U.S. adults ages 25–54 without partners rose from…

As Republicans seek to maintain control of Congress in 2026, several key races are poised to play a decisive role in determining whether the party can hold its majorities — and whether alignment with Trump is still enough to motivate GOP voters in midterm elections. In Kentucky, Trump will test his grip on the party by attempting to unseat a member of Congress who he deems insufficiently loyal to his presidency.Kentucky Rep.

Last Friday, it looked like Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko had offered Nicolas Maduro a sotto voce hint straight out of The Amityville Horror – “Get out.” Yesterday, the Belarus dictator dispensed with what little subtlety he had previously employed. Advertisement Lukashenko had previously told the Venezuelan ambassador that the time had come for Maduro to pay a state visit to Minsk. Putin’s toady knew what it would mean if Maduro left the country at this moment of crisis with the US, and so did Maduro, who apparently didn’t take the hint. So last night, Lukashenko spelled it out for…

Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese said on “VINCE” Tuesday that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was being disingenuous when she said Democrats should not prioritize impeaching President Donald Trump. Pelosi suggested that Trump has not yet committed any acts worthy of impeachment during his second term in a Monday episode of USA Today’s “The Excerpt,” saying impeachment should not necessarily be on the Democratic agenda if her party regains control of the House in 2026. However, Coglianese argued on his show that Pelosi was attempting to conceal Democrats’ intention to impeach Trump because they are waiting until after the midterms. (RELATED: ‘We Are At…

Hardin County, Kentucky, just got screwed over by former President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle (EV) scam. Ford announced Monday that it was repurposing a battery manufacturing plant in Glendale, Kentucky, originally used for electric vehicles.
