I testified before Congress’ Joint Economic Committee last month in a hearing focused on “the economic toll of gun violence.” Of course, there’s no doubt that gun violence imposes a tremendous cost on society, both financially and in far less readily calculable ways. How does one measure, for example, the mental and emotional toll of being shot? […]

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reacted to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky saying the agency needs to be overhauled by arguing that the agency’s problem wasn’t that they were too slow and didn’t act enough, the problem was that they “thought they knew the truth, they […]

President Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress have decided that our country needs 87,000 new IRS agents — many of them to be armed and authorized to use deadly force! You and I both know that’s not to squeeze a few more dollars out of the billionaires. Or to get the “rich” to pay […]

The left continues to suffer from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). There is almost nothing they won’t do to anyone they even suspect might be a Trump supporter. Even criminal acts aren’t beyond their fantasies. This specimen is really a winner — and likely to go to jail if she ever actually succeeds… TikToker calls […]
