House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy announced Tuesday from the border in El Paso, Texas, that the House’s new Republican majority will launch an impeachment inquiry into Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. McCarthy, R-Calif., first called for Mayorkas, appointed by President Joe Biden, to resign to avoid impeachment. “Our country may never recover from Secretary Mayorkas’ dereliction of duty,” McCarthy said, adding: This is why today I am calling on the secretary to resign. He cannot and must not remain in that position. If Secretary Mayorkas does not resign, House Republicans…

U.S. taxpayers’ money would not help finance teachers unions if the House passes a bill introduced this week by Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas.  “Corrupt teachers unions sold out our kids when they lined Democrat politicians’ pockets with campaign contributions to keep students out of the classroom, and later to force masking, despite clear evidence that these decisions were harmful to kids’ educational and developmental growth,” Jackson said in a prepared statement.   Teachers unions have “pushed a radical and inappropriate curriculum which seeks to indoctrinate our students with a woke,…

Collegiate Alumni Donations: What Are We Giving To?

Giving, donations, Collegiate, Alumni0 comment

I read a news report about a group of woke Yale students who burst into a panel discussion on civil liberties hosted by the Federalist Society on campus back in March and tried to shout down and intimidate the speakers—who had to be escorted out by the police. This kind of activity on campus has become so commonplace it barely makes the news anymore. But it struck me, as a former fundraiser for universities, how this behavior—the result of the leftist ideology being taught on campus—is actually being funded largely…

Washington State Ban on Natural Gas Heating Is All Cost, No Benefit

Cost, benefit, Heating, state, Washington, Natural0 comment

The Washington State Building Code Council, an unelected board that governs construction standards, on Nov. 4 decided to effectively ban natural gas heating in new-construction homes and office buildings. Advocates of the new restrictions admitted reluctantly that their new requirements will increase the cost of housing, but perhaps even more notable is that the new rules will do nothing to advance the purported goal; namely, reducing the state’s CO2 emissions. The combination of artificially high cost and no benefit makes the new regulations a textbook example of how some politicians…

Why a ‘Democrat-Leaning Open Seat’ in California Is So Competitive

open, California, seat, Competitive, ‘DemocratLeaning0 comment

A California congressional district that had previously been labeled a “Democrat-leaning open seat” has become a “toss up,” according to some analysts as Election Day nears.  Republican candidate John Duarte and Democrat candidate Adam Gray are running to represent California’s 13th Congressional District in Tuesday’s general election.  Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., currently represents California’s 13th Congressional District after defeating Republican candidate Nikka Piterman in Nov. 2020 with 90.4% of the vote compared to Piterman’s 9.6%. Due to redistricting after the 2020 census, Lee is running for office in California’s 12th Congressional District, which is currently held by House…

The Left has pushed a radical pro-abortion agenda across the country ever since the Supreme Court’s June 24 decision to correct a grave error by overturning Roe v. Wade and abortion on demand. In the states, the Left has responded to the high court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization by promoting taxpayer-funded abortion “tourism,” flouting state abortion laws, and seeking  to enshrine so-called abortion rights in state constitutions. At the federal level, the Biden administration announced executive actions to promote abortion and abortion travel, particularly under the…
