In a stunning display of political posturing, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro recently labeled supporters of a bill banning biological males from women’s sports as “extremists.” This rhetorical flourish, reported by The College Fix, not only mischaracterizes a common-sense stance but also sidesteps the core issue: the state’s obligation under the Fourteenth Amendment to ensure equal protection…

In a move that reeks of political opportunism and arbitrary censorship, California’s legislature is advancing Senate Bill 771, a measure that would impose draconian fines on social media platforms for failing to suppress what state officials label as “hate speech.” Reason’s Sophia Mandt reports: “Under the bill, which sits in the state Assembly after being passed by the Senate in May, large…

The Biden administration’s push to electrify the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) delivery fleet has collapsed into a nearly $10 billion quagmire, a textbook case of central planning’s inevitable failure. With $3 billion from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and a goal to deploy 35,000 electric mail trucks by September 2028, the USPS has managed to produce just 250 vehicles—each a costly,…

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Friday declassified documents revealing what she described as "overwhelming evidence" demonstrating that, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump/Russia collusion probe. As Fox News, Breitbart…

In a move that should surprise no one familiar with the economic realities of California, In-N-Out Burger, the iconic fast-food chain founded in 1948, is packing its corporate bags and heading east to Tennessee. The reason? The Golden State’s relentless assault on businesses through steep minimum wage mandates that have made operating there not just difficult, but increasingly untenable. In…

Sometimes, bias in media is not constrained to one typical political party or the other within the Fourth Estate. Often, preconceived notions or preferences pour forth from reporters and editors simply because of their normalcy bias or ignorance of fundamental American principles. The story of Fayetteville is a perfect example. On the national front, Fox News’ Audrey Conklin recently reported…

Georgia Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene (R) recently proposed a bill ending the vampiric federal tax on profits for all home sales, and in reporting on the move, Newsweek offered keen observers a powerful example of sloppy reporting and normalcy bias. The facts of the story are fairly simple, and, as Newsweek’s Giulia Carbornaro notes, have been catalyzed by Greene’s Thursday move. “…

Perhaps CNN’s management is not aware of the fact that there's already a Game Show Network. But someone should tell them before they double down on their attempt to engage in the Blame Game after the horrendous floods around Texas' Guadalupe River and Donald Trump’s visit to the zone. The Daily Wire’s Catherine Maxwell recalled with savage clarity reminders of the fact that FEMA already has…

California Governor Gavin Newsom, long a darling of the progressive elite, has donned a new mask. On June 30, he signed Assembly Bill 130/Senate Bill 131, claiming the move would: “…build more housing, faster, and create strong affordable pathways for every Californian. Today’s bill is a game changer, which will be felt for generations to come.” Typically, that kind of rhetoric from…

Get ready. In a razor-thin 214-212 vote on June 12, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a “rescissions” bill to begin the process of nixing the $1.1 billion in tax cash that might otherwise be showered on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and its sub-parasites, PBS and NPR. The vote was the first half of what is necessary to end the cash flow, and now, the Senate looms as…
