While the usual D.C. geniuses were busy patting themselves on the back for another precision strike campaign, Beijing was treating the whole thing like a live-fire master class on how America fights. The People’s Liberation Army didn’t just watch our operations against Iran—they dissected every missile launch, every drone swarm, every satellite pass, and every […]

The same state that can’t keep the lights on or the streets safe decided its biggest priority was handing every convict a taxpayer-funded tablet so they wouldn’t feel left out of the digital age. “Digital equity” for the “justice-impacted,” they called it.

The usual suspects in the intelligence bureaucracy never learn. While President Trump ordered the full declassification of the JFK assassination files and the CIA’s own dirty laundry from MKUltra, a whistleblower just dropped a bombshell in front of Congress: the agency swooped in and yanked the documents right out from under the Director of National […]

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice launched a federal civil rights investigation into Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano over allegations that his office gave preferential treatment to illegal immigrants accused of serious crimes. This Thursday, mere days after that announcement, Descano—who has received more than $650,000 from Soros-backed PACs and affiliated groups—is scheduled to testify before Congress at a House Judiciary Committee […]

The usual suspects on cable news and in coastal newsrooms are in full meltdown mode, painting the economy as some kind of Trump-induced disaster while ignoring every metric that actually matters to working families.
