Five Myths About Socialism, Part Two
Last week, I reported on two myths about socialism. My new video covers three more. Myth No. 3: Socialism works if it's "democratic." As the Democratic Socialists of America put it, "Society should be run democratically -- to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few." Sounds nice.

Tour de Force: Here Are the Top Ten McEnany Smackdowns of 2020
Assuming the position of White House Press Secretary on April 7, Kayleigh McEnany had quite a 2020 with a slew of crises to attend to as the fifth woman and third mother to serve as a president’s chief spokesperson.

Wow! Nicolle Wallace, NYT Reporter Question Biden's Russia Threat
The liberal media has ripped President Trump for downplaying the apparent cyberattack by Russia into high levels of the US government.
