The same day President Joe Biden announced details of his COVID-19 vaccine mandate for private employers, The Daily Wire filed a lawsuit to stop it.  The Daily Wire, a media outlet founded by conservative commentator and author Ben Shapiro, filed the suit because the mandate on employers of 100 or more workers is unconstitutional, the organization said in a public statement Nov. 4.  Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal aid organization, is representing The Daily Wire in its fight to halt Biden’s vaccine mandate. Although it is risky for any…

Parent activists, school board members, and a congressman gathered Monday in Washington to remind Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Justice Department that the fight for education is only just beginning.  “Whether it’s radical transgender policies in our schools, whether it’s putting masks on our children, which is paramount to child abuse, whether it’s forcing vaccines on our children, or whether it’s teaching radical critical race theory in our school systems, educating our teachers to teach that, the lens through which everything is taught, we reject that,” Rep. Bob Good,…

Bernie Sanders pointed to Europe as the solution for America’s problems? “I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway,” Sanders, I-Vt., said during a 2016 presidential debate, “and learn what they have accomplished for their working people.” He’s not alone. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said, “What we have in mind and what my policies most closely resemble are what we see in the U.K., Norway, in Finland, in Sweden.” These self-proclaimed socialists profess that a European model is superior to the United…

Dustin Honken was convicted of murdering five people, including two children, and was sentenced to death in a federal court in 2004. Sixteen years later, he was executed. He also received the last rites of the Catholic Church—in the execution chamber—from Rev. Mark O’Keefe, a Catholic priest who accompanied him there. “On the day of the execution, Father O’Keefe was screened thoroughly by security and accompanied by an agent escort at all times—except for the brief period during which he accepted Mr. Honken’s final confession,” said a brief filed by…

Narrative, Wrong, Larry, Elder, blew, candidate, Virginia0 comment

After the California gubernatorial recall election, many pundits—as well as my opponent’s campaign manager—pushed the narrative that “Larry Elder was a gift” to Gov. Gavin Newsom. A kinder, gentler Republican, they insisted, one who distanced himself from the loathsome former President Donald Trump, would have made all the difference in the world, despite the fact that 75% of California voters are registered as Democrats or independents. CNN’s Lincoln Mitchell wrote: “Elder was precisely what Newsom needed to make the fear of Trumpism real in the eyes of California’s substantial Democratic…

U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai embarks this week on her first trip to Asia in the post. She will travel to Japan, South Korea, and India to hold high-level meetings with trade stakeholders in each country “to discuss the enduring U.S. commitment to the Indo-Pacific region and to strengthen trade and economic relationships with key allies and partners.” Tai’s visit to the region comes at a critical juncture, particularly given the fact that many countries in the Indo-Pacific region have questioned America’s willingness and commitment  to pursue greater freedom to…
