• Op-Ed: Pay Attention to What Biden and the IRS Are Conspiring On, Because It's Big

  11-06-2022 22:58
  
  With a split Senate and free-falling poll numbers, President Joe Biden is mucking about the bureaucratic swamp to salvage his leftist agenda.
  Biden’s latest end-run around Congress turns a scandalously compliant IRS into a political tool. An executive order and presumed behind-the-scenes White House lobbying have convinced the supposedly apolitical tax agency to issue a statute-defying regulation that creates a new government health care subsidies affordability test.

• The surprising reason for Joe Biden's low approval rating

  11-06-2022 22:52 via cnn.com
  
  One of the most obvious realities of American politics is that the Republican Party, members of which have pushed increasingly hateful rhetoric, is blocking President Joe Biden's reform efforts to improve people's lives. What is much less recognized is that a significant faction of the left also damages any hope for improvement in a country wrestling with unprecedented assaults on democracy, escalating hate crimes and gun violence, global warming and extreme income inequality.

  A federal judge in Texas has handed the Biden administration another defeat in its ongoing attempts to liberalize immigration policy.
  In his Friday ruling, Judge Drew Tipton struck down a rule issued in September by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to Immigration and Customs Enforcement that forbid agents from detaining or deporting illegal immigrants unless they had recently entered the U.S. or been identified as a potential threat to public safety or national security.

  11-06-2022 21:48
  
  Holding a baby in one hand and a firearm in the other, a kidnapper presented police with an impossible situation. Officers could advance and risk the infant being injured or killed in the crossfire, or let the kidnapper continue to hold the child hostage.
  In other words, the man was virtually untouchable.
  But the incident didn’t end in a bloodbath or an hours-long standoff. Thanks to recently released bodycam footage, we now know that the timely intervention of a police sniper brought thin

  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has caused at least one thing to thrive in Canada: “a cottage industry of anti-Trudeau merchandise,” according to the National Post.
  The popularity of Trudeau’s unpopularity shouldn’t come as a surprise after his crackdown on the Freedom Convoy protests and his draconian gun ban proposal. To conservative Americans, these appear to be the actions of a man bent on totalitarianism.
