By Bruce Bialosky A large portion of the national debt limit bill negotiations involved reestablishing work requirements to receive payments from the various government handout programs. President Biden objected to what was in the House bill and a compromise was struck. Why are we discussing this now? There is definitely a difference of opinion even […]
By Tyler O’Neil The Justice Department backtracked on its 2021 memo urging the investigation of concerned parents, but the Left and the Biden administration seem to be gearing up for another round. President Joe Biden’s White House did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment about the ties between the administration and the […]
By Paul Mueller Editors’ Note: The accounting mechanics are complicated. The bottom line, however, is the FED is pursuing a contradictory policy. If the FED has any function, it was supposed to back up the banking system in the event of a liquidity crisis and maintain a stable currency. Yet, banking failure has been quite […]
By Bethany Blankley At least 1.2 million people have been apprehended or reported evading capture at the southern border in the first five months of this year, according to data obtained and analyzed by The Center Square. The estimate is based on official apprehension data reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as well as […]
By Neland Nobel Twenty states now ban genital mutilation or what progressives call “gender-affirming care” for minors with gender dysphoria. In most cases, it has been achieved against almost universal support by the Democrat Party for invasive surgery and puberty-blocking drugs. Texas is the latest and largest state to pass such legislation banning such practices. […]
By Margot Cleveland Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky wasn’t far from the mark when he said it would take 10 years to unravel the complex payment path that led to Joe Biden. The Bidens allegedly “coerced” a foreign national to pay them $10 million in bribes, according to individuals familiar with the investigation into the FBI’s […]

By Jordan Boyd Technology that replaces the inherent value of life with a numeric placeholder makes the precious gift of living seem expendable. What would you say if you discovered that your parents chose to birth and raise you over any of your other siblings because they believed your genes to be superior? That’s exactly […]
By Alexander William Salter The American economy is far weaker than it should be. Unemployment is low, but this overstates our economic strength given troubling long-term trends in labor force participation. Inflation is still more than twice as high as the Federal Reserve’s target. Real output growth is anemic. We have lots of workers, plenty […]
By Neland Nobel Those old enough might remember in the early days of the sexual revolution, the common refrain was to “get the government out of the bedroom”. The thought was that the police powers of the state had no business involving themselves in the private sexual practices of consenting adults. This principle was applied […]
By Jarrett Stepman NEW YORK—It’s that time again for the Left. Another crisis it just can’t let go to waste. The crisis of the day is a series of large-scale forest fires in Canada—at least some apparently started by arson—that caused a huge amount of smoke to descend on the United States. Some areas got […]
By Michael Watson In 2021, Republicans swept to power in Virginia, riding a popular wave rejecting their opponents’ commitment to the teachers unions’ agenda of critical race theory–inspired instruction, COVID-19 mask mandates, school closures, and dismissal of parents’ involvement in their children’s education. During the buildup to this political rout, the Biden Administration Justice Department proposed at school […]
By Victoria Taft A leaked video shows that at least one Washington, D.C., cop—and likely more—acted on January 6 as apparent agent provocateurs, dressing as protesters outside the Capitol Building and urging protesters toward the iconic building. See the video below. Congressman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) says the authenticated GoPro video raises the question of why […]
By Charles M. Strauss It was NOT what I was expecting. I went on a Viking River Cruise, east-west up the Danube: Romania-Bulgaria-Serbia-Croatia-Hungary-Slovakia-Austria. Sounds pretty boring, right? A bunch of American geezers wandering around in ribcage-high Madras shorts and calf-high black socks? What a shock. Everywhere I went, from everybody I met, I got an […]
By Jordan Boyd Democrats are dead set on indicting Trump because they know they can’t beat him fair and square. The same institutions that tormented former President Donald Trump for years with false accusations of collusion with Russia are making yet another brazen attempt to rig the next presidential election against the wishes of the […]
By Kylee Griswold ‘Pride’ activists will do whatever it takes to maintain their clutch on the narrative — including spinning their own bomb threats against themselves. The shameless corporate media are so desperate for a narrative about LGBT victimhood, they’re pretending threats of violence from angry pro-“pride” perpetrators are instead threats against them. The latest […]
By Conlan Salgado “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” So begins the greatest work of practical political philosophy every written. In part, what these words were […]

By Mark Wallace The Radical Left’s fanatical hatred of Donald J. Trump truly knows no bounds. Back in early 2016, some Leftist elements cheered his nomination for President by the Republican Party because they believed he had no chance of winning the White House. When that was proven false by Trump’s overwhelming Electoral College victory […]
