A pattern of derogatory behavior by Insurance Commissioner Kreidler is apparent. Many Democrats are silent on this. Will Rep. Jackson speak up?

A novel idea: actually looking at curriculum and saying “no, that’s not good enough for our children.”

$300,000 of taxpayer money, per year, spent to rent a house so the President of the United States can keep his son as far away from Washington, D.C as possible.

"According to spending records obtained by the right-leaning watchdog group Judicial Watch, the Obama family's trip to Martha's Vineyard in August 2016 cost the Secret Service a whopping $2.7 million, including $2.5 million in hotels and $90,000 in rental cars, while the family's final Christmas trip to Honolulu in late 2016 cost the agency $1.9 million, including $1.8 million in hotels.

First Lady Michelle Obama's trips to Aspen in 2014, 2015 and 2016 cost the Secret Service more than $319,000 in taxpayer money, including nearly $166,000 incurred from the 2016 trip, records obtained by the group show.

And Joe Biden, as vice president during Obama's presidency, collected $2,200 a month in payments from the Secret Service by renting out a cottage on his Delaware property for the agents protecting him, according to past media reports and federal spending records."

The Secret Service detail protecting Hunter Biden has been paying more than $30,000 a month for a swanky Malibu mansion close to Biden's home, sources tell ABC News.

"Today, the center of gravity of the world economy has moved from the Atlantic to east of the Urals. Geopolitical disputes and security dilemmas that could affect the global order are concentrated in maritime Asia. And the world seeks a new equilibrium to account for China’s rise. The complex political dynamics in Asia don’t lend themselves easily to the kind of stark confrontation underway in Ukraine. Policymakers in Western countries shouldn’t think that their actions on the new frontlines in Europe will shape the contours of a wider struggle to come.

Are democracies really united against Russia?

The Biden Administration's handling of the border crisis is inept. This ineptness will only be magnified if Democrats get their way by ending Title 42.

Eliminating Title 42 will begin a migration crisis the size of which this country has never seen. We can prevent it. Democrats and the Biden Administration refuse to take the correct steps.

"The three leaders argue that the end of the policy will create an unprecedented surge at the southern border and overwhelm law enforcement agencies and non-governmental organizations. The statement announcing the lawsuit claimed the change could lead to more than a half-million migrants per month."

It appears British women have taken the lead in advocating against men playing in women sports. Good for them. It is time for the United States to follow their lead and fight for our daughters.

"The Guardian noted that the UCI’s decision “came amid a growing backlash from within the sport, with the Guardian understanding that a number of female riders were talking about boycotting the event in Derby because they felt that Bridges, who was on the Great Britain Academy programme as a male rider until being dropped in 2020, had an unfair advantage.”

This is not a person we want on the United States Supreme Court. A pattern of behavior is just that; a pattern. We need to believe people when they tell us who they are.

KBJ is not serious about law and order as evidenced by the article below and multiple sentences for pedophiles where she went way below the federal sentencing guidelines.

"In the early days of the pandemic, Judge Jackson made a passionate appeal on behalf of inmates in Washington, D.C., jails and said pandemic conditions could justify releasing them.

"The obvious increased risk of harm that the COVID-19 pandemic poses to individuals who have been detained in the District’s correctional facilities reasonably suggests that each and every criminal defendant who is currently in D.C. DOC custody—and who thus cannot take independent measures to control their own hygiene and distance themselves from others—should be released," she wrote. She went on to urge Congress to take action to help.

In one instance, Jackson granted pretrial release to a defendant allegedly involved in a deadly fentanyl-trafficking ring, requiring only that he comply with a 10 p.m. curfew. In another case, she released an inmate with multiple bank robbery convictions. Prosecutors opposed both moves."

Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson suggested pandemic conditions could justify emptying jails in a 2020 decision, and she granted COVID-related releases to defendants and inmates implicated in serious crimes.

Today, in the Virginia State Senate, an amendment was passed giving "mask-choice" to parents.

Why is this important? The Virginia State Senate is majority Democrat. The amendment passed today was brought by a Democrat. The amendment passed 29-9.

Across the country, the dams are breaking.

However, do not ever let these people off the hook for what they have done to our children.

Instead of spending $30 million on illegal drug paraphernalia, I would give the $30 million to Michael Shellenberger with oversight to do with it as he pleases.

The only rule: if his ideas work and minimize homelessness and addiction, he must continue it across the country.

The Biden administration is set to fund the distribution of crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its plan to advance "racial equity."

Biden is playing a game of chicken with the American people.

He's betting you feel alone.

You're not. There's more of us than them.

"We saw almost a year of Black Lives Matter and Antifa mob violence with 574 riots; $2 billion in destruction, arson, and looting; at least 25 dead; and more than 2,000 police officers injured. To re-enforce this spirit of lawlessness, leftist prosecutors dismissed most charges against rioters and looters in Portland, New York City, and across the country."

"And what do the data show? Some 40% of those responding agreed that Biden was "stoking partisanship and division," while 37% said he was living up to his pledge to "unify" the country. A sizeable 23% said they were "not sure."

"The only thing more laughable than Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that spending two months on paternity leave counts as “work” is that the massive infrastructure bill in Congress would do anything to fix the supply chain crisis."
