Democrats on the March
Want proof that there’s no depth of silliness that radical activists won’t plumb and that the news media won’t take seriously? With the World Series underway, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is calling on Major League Baseball to stop using the term “bullpen.” According to PETA, “bullpen” references the holding area…
Nick Miroff (of the Washington Post, of all publications) reports that arrests along our southern border are occurring at record rates. Meanwhile, the New York Post has photos of illegal immigrants being flown into New York in the middle of the night, for distribution in nearby communities. This recalls news items coming in from around the country,…
Why not both? I’m not sure Stephen Green has it quite right when he casts his chips with the “power” side. After all, many provisions in the plan go directly to maintaining Democrat power, like this one: Illegal aliens will be having a field day. Not only will they continue to be allowed to flood…
If you blinked (or don’t get your information from non-mainstream-progressive news sources), you might have missed the Biden administration’s explicit attempts to politicize the United States military along partisan lines. John Lucas explains for The Federalist: President Joe Biden and his administration are continuing to purge and politicize the American military. Consistent with the totalitarian left’s…

One needn’t endorse or repudiate the Oath Keepers organization to observe that the hack and release of its internal communications raises disturbing questions at a time when state and federal government agencies are seeking more of a view into private donor lists and personal bank accounts: The emails were obtained by BuzzFeed News after an…
There was Aaron Regunberg, up there at Harvard Law, thinking he’d take a step away from Rhode Island politics for a bit to further mine his white privilege for career gold when the political pieces started to move of their own volition. As he writes in the Boston Globe: Many members of Rhode Island’s progressive movement…
The Democrat candidate for Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe (who is the former governor and a long-time Democrat Party insider going back to the Bill Clinton White House) said the quiet part out loud during a recent debate: I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own…
Nancy Pelosi is swearing that the Democrats’ insanely expensive quasi-infrastructure infrastructure bill will pass this week. Every time I see these numbers, I remember something I learned during the Obama presidency.
