War in Ukraine: Grinding on since February 2022, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a debilitating drain on U.S. resources as more than $113 billion American dollars have fueled the conflict so far. The year ended with a funding stalemate as Republicans in the House tied any new monies to securing the U.S. Southern border. Support for Ukraine, including the padding of pensions for its residents, is also being tied to support for Israel in its…
War Against Hamas: The world was horrified when the Hamas terrorists who control the Gaza Strip invaded Israel in a brutal attack that saw hundreds of civilians killed, tortured, raped, and taken hostage. Israel installed a war cabinet and went on the offensive, rooting out the terrorists in block-by-block assaults. The Biden administration is attempting to broker peace as it lets Palestinian sympathizers wreak havoc in the U.S. Meanwhile, Communist China saber rattling seems to be in preparation for a…
War in Taiwan: The Chinese communists consider Taiwan one of their provinces, while the rest of the world sees it as a free Democracy responsible for manufacturing the majority of the computer chips that make modern society possible. Control of this vital capability would give China’s dictatorial president, Xi Jinping, substantial leverage over the United States as it pursues its “Belt and Road” quest for world hegemony. The communists are undergoing a massive military build-up, funded in part by the investment of U.S. pension funds in Chinese concerns by the elites who control the nation’s wealth, and continue to flex their muscles in the South China Sea. The Biden administration is viewed as compromised in dealing with Jinping after his son, Hunter, returned from Beijing on Air Force Two with a $1 billion Chinese investment in his capital management company. Charges of bribery, treason, and other Biden misconduct have moved Congress to start an…
Impeachment Inquiry: After months of hemming and hawing, the Republicans in Congress have opened an official Impeachment Inquiry against President Joe Biden. The move gives them the power to go after government records and summon witnesses, the first of whom, Biden’s son Hunter, gave them the middle finger, and instead gave an Oscar-worthy performance in front of the U.S. Senate contending that his dad knew nothing of his overseas business dealings, many of which resulted in actions by the U.S. on behalf of foreign actors who gave Hunter millions. Congressional investigators are methodically laying out the details of Biden corruption that implicate the first family in a Washington spectacle that will set the tone for the 2024…
Presidential Election: The top two heavyweights in American politics will go at it in a 2020 grudge rematch as Biden looks to hold onto his crown and Trump jockeys to bring his Make America Great Again agenda back to the White House. With Biden’s Hunter problem, exacerbated by the endless follies showcased in his “Laptop from Hell,” and his marked mental decline and daily gaffes, speculation abounds that he won’t even make it to November. A Biden departure begs the question of the fate of his wildly unpopular number two, Kamala Harris, and who will be anointed by the Democrats to replace him. With Trump leading in practically every poll for the GOP nomination and beating Biden, curiosity abounds over his choice for vice president. Names floating around to replace Biden on the Democrat ticket include California Gov. Gavin Newsom, nephew of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Michelle Obama, the ex-president’s wife. Whoever takes the reins of the American government will have to grapple with the stupendous…
National Debt: Thanks to the unprecedented borrow and spend frenzy of Joe Biden and the nation’s leadership, the amount of debt heaped on the U.S. taxpayers goes up nearly $36 billion per day, an astounding $421,384 per second. Over the weekend, the debt stood at $33.9 trillion, an enormous burden that tanked the nation’s credit rating and put each and every taxpayer $259,950 in hock. The debt acts as a vacuum sucking resources from the American economy, leading to record…
Inflation: The price of fuel, groceries, and everyday items has flattened the American wallet. The cost of everything has gone up about 20% under Joe Biden, and the economy will be on the minds of many as Congress goes back into session. Reining in government spending is a priority of Republicans who are looking for leadership from Rep. Mike Johnson, the new…
Speaker of the House: Since last year, when the Republicans took over the People’s House and gave Nancy Pelosi her walking papers, there’s been turmoil on Capitol Hill. Kevin McCarthy promised to impeach Biden and tackle the Washington spending problem, but was bounced in favor of Johnson when he failed on both fronts. Like his predecessor, the new speaker bought himself some time by agreeing to keep spending at current levels until the politicians return in January. Tightening the government’s belt will be a battle of epic proportions with the entrenched interests looking to keep the gravy train rolling and the taxpayers begging for mercy. Tapping the government ATM card will be a new force in American society…
Illegal Immigrants: With migrants pouring into the country in record numbers, taxpayers will be on the hook for billions more in spending to accommodate the new arrivals, mostly economic refugees from countries collapsing under the same policies that are dragging down America. In New York City alone, where more than 130,000 illegal immigrants have taken the Democrats up on their offer of sanctuary, Mayor Eric Adams is projecting a $12 billion price tag. The southern border under President Biden has become a welcome center for aliens streaming in from more than 125 counties–drug mules, terrorists, spies, and other deplorables included. The administration is spending billions to filter them into communities throughout the states, where they become wards of local governments crying, “No mas.” Those clamoring for an economic break shouldn’t get their hopes up when you consider the nation’s…
Energy Policy: President Biden’s war on domestic energy, parroted by Progressive states across the country, turned the U.S. from an oil exporter to one relying on adversarial foreign nations practically overnight. Americans will be forced to buy electric trucks and cars, and fossil fuel heating and cooling systems for homes and businesses will be verboten. Cooking on gas stoves will also be taboo, with a growing concern that personal energy consumption will inevitably be tracked through a government social scoring system. Rolling brownouts and system shutdowns, as experienced in California, will come to New York, energy experts predict, unless leaders with policies such as Donald Trump succeed in steering the nation off the aggressive windmill and solar path the Progressives are treading. They’re also looking for relief from the…
Fentanyl Epidemic: In a scenario reminiscent of the Opium Wars of the 1800s, China stands accused of flooding the states with Fentanyl, leading to the deaths of Americans at a devastating pace. The ingredients for the cheap but deadly drug are supplied by the communists and manufactured in Mexico where they are easily shipped over Joe Biden’s porous border. With Texas reporting the seizure of enough Fentanyl since 2022 to kill every American, the nation is on edge, worrying that the next call they receive won’t be a report of another family devastated by the evil scourge the powers that be do nothing about.
