Congress

The very term “debt limit” makes a mockery of any kind of responsible budgeting. Each time the government reaches the “limit” it gets raised with the familiar scenarios that include threats of a government shutdown (an idea that increasingly appeals to some conservatives) and the claim that the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. is at stake. We have faith and credit? Who knew?

Republicans have been trying to get America’s runaway spending under control so future generations aren’t saddled with unimaginable levels of debt. But that’s hard to do when there are bad-faith actors like Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell on CNN This Morning portraying the GOP as terrorists taking “hostage[s]” and holding “a gun to the head of the global economy…

On the top right of the Monday Washington Post came this glaring headline about "Far-right bloc is flexing muscle: Freedom Caucus pledges fiscal war." In the story, the reporters used the term "far-right" ten times to describe House Republicans. As they acknowledge, that neatly matches Biden's campaign rhetoric about "MAGA extremists."

Prior to the weekend, more Hunter Biden headlines, and Monday’s media tsunami regarding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon, there was Friday’s White House press briefing and it began with a rant from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ghoulishly claiming House Republicans want to “fill our cities with smog,” “give asthma to our children,” and allow oil companies to use chemicals that…

The news got worse Thursday for Hunter Biden as it was revealed now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken was the catalyst behind the debunked and infamous October 2020 letter from former intelligence officials dismissing the surfacing of Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation. This bombshell showing more interference in the 2020 election was nowhere to be found on the Thursday night…

The House Judiciary Committee held an unusual “field hearing” in Manhattan to hear from local victims of violence -- a bank shot against Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is prosecuting a dubious case against former president Donald Trump while being accused of being soft on actual violent crime. The New York Times responded with haughty defensiveness, rallying…

Everywhere one looks these days it appears services and products cost more but deliver less than they once did. That seems especially true when it comes to the federal government. President Biden wants to raise taxes again. Unlikely, given the Republican House majority, but this Tax Day offers us our annual opportunity to explore what we are getting in exchange for what we’re paying Washington…

Sen. Chuck Schumer is making plans to regulate artificial intelligence, but is this just another show of holding anti-free speech Big Tech companies accountable?

Wednesday night on NewsNation, On Balance host Leland Vittert battled woefully unprepared liberal strategist Kaivan Shroff on whether it was appropriate for Twitter to slap National Public Radio (NPR) Tuesday night with a “US state-affiliated media” label with Vittert noting it does, in fact, derive part of its budget from the U.S. government. Shroff hilariously denounced the label,…

Hypocrisy and venom pump through the veins of the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View. Three weeks after they falsely claimed Georgia-14, the home of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R), was gerrymandered and inflated, co-host Sara Haines declared that Greene and her district were insignificant compared to other districts and that the Congresswoman wasn’t worth listening to because…

CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today illustrated Thursday the liberal media’s further sprint away from the gender identity and possible motives of Monday’s Nashville Christian school shooting in favor of focusing on gun control. And to assist them (when they’re not blaming those murdered for holding views they find odious), far-left Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) put on a…

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said on CNBC Tuesday that the Trump administration was right to give Chinese-owned TikTok an ultimatum: sell to an American company or be banned.

Just 24 hours after ignoring Biden’s secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas’s well-deserved grilling by Senators for his disastrous performance in office, ABC’s World News Tonight and CBS Evening News showed how they are nothing more than servile stenographers for the Democrat Party on Wednesday when they breathlessly covered socialist Senator Bernie Sanders…

Tuesday saw yet another humiliating moment for Biden’s incompetent secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas who has helped preside over the worst crisis on the U.S./Mexican border in American history. This came during a Senate Judiciary hearing in which Mayorkas was annihilated by numerous Republican Senators throughout the over three-hour hearing. Since this was another black eye for…
