Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned Americans on Friday that more pain was on the way as the Fed tried to float President Biden’s sinking economy. And on CNN’s At This Hour, White House correspondent John Harwood flashed a sadistic streak, boosting the administration’s argument that all the pain and anxiety Americans were being subjected to

On Friday at the Kansas Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium in Wyoming, Jerome H. Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, indicated that the Fed would continue raising interest rates in hopes of precluding price increases from becoming permanent.

Paxlovid, the COVID-19 antiviral pill developed by Pfizer that was once celebrated as a “game-changer” for the pandemic, has little to no benefit for younger adults, while it still appears to reduce the risk of hospitalization or death for high-risk seniors, according to a new study published Wednesday. “Among patients 65 years of age or

The liberal media have spent years insisting that rhetoric from Donald Trump and his supporters about the media and their leftists allies are not only wrong, but dangerous. However, when it comes to their friends inflaming tensions and assigning the worst motives to conservatives, the liberal media either ignore it or endorse it and that’s

The world came close to a nuclear disaster on Thursday when power was shut off at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine.

New York Times Miami bureau chief Patricia Mazzei is still resenting the success of “hard-right” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) with petulance on display in her coverage of the results of the Sunshine State’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, in which former Republican governor-turned-Democratic Congressman Charlie Crist, prevailed over more liberal opponent and Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried. Crist – who was quite

CNN climate correspondent Bill Weir joined Thursday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom to applaud California’s new edict that will ban new gas-powered cars by 2035. Weir didn’t see what the big deal is considering horses used to be a primary mode of transportation. Towards the end of his segment with guest host Bianna Golodryga, Weir noted that

Californians do not leave beautiful California beaches for Texas heat because they think tornadoes and suffocating humidity sound like a great time. People leave California for Texas for opportunities and policies that foster an environment for businesses to succeed. Because so many Californians move to Texas these days, the once Republican red state is turning

The 2003 release of Peter Jackson’s film version of The Lord of the Rings coincided with America’s response to 9/11, the invasion of Iraq. Tolkien’s inspired story of the West’s defense against barbarism well suited a national mood of optimism and indignation. Sadly, the Amazon series “Rings of Power” that premiers Sept. 1 appears to

Mark Zuckerberg says that Facebook restricted the spread of the Hunter Biden laptop story because of a warning from the FBI against the spread of election disinformation.

Thursday’s White House press briefing represented the massive political landmine that’s become the Biden administration’s plan to forgive $10 to $20 million in student loans for Americans making under $125,000 as, for the second day in a row, reporters from across the political spectrum had serious concerns about its legality, purpose, and rollout. Fox’s Jacqui

But new analysis suggests the plan will cost at least $500 billion. What are the details? The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget published analysis on Wednesday showing how Biden’s plan

Follow the “science.” But what about when the “science” changes? Apparently Big Tech changes the censorship rules in the middle of the game. Google-owned YouTube quietly changed its COVID-19 medical misinformation policy in significant ways within the past four months, particularly concerning masking, social distancing and COVID-19 vaccines. Since April, YouTube changed its COVID-19 medical

The anti-vax hits just keep on coming! On Wednesday, I wrote ‘Anti-Science Nutjobs’ Right Again: Majority of COVID Hospitalizations, Deaths in 25 States Were Vaxxed, in which we learned from an exclusive story by The Epoch Times that people who bent their knees, raised their sleeves, and took the vaccine are, in many cases, leading the

Over 1.9 million illegal aliens have stolen across the southern U.S. border in 2022 — more than ever before in recorded history.

Dr. Vanessa Toolsie, president of the NAACP’s Orange County branch, announced her resignation this week after she claimed to have experienced “harassment and racist marginalization” from members of the executive board of the nonprofit civil rights organization.

The Washington Post cheered a reported ban of a gamer who made  a pro-America modification that offended the rainbow-praising Big Tech overlords. The Post seethed in a story headlined — “‘Spider-Man’ modification scene turns into Pride flag battlefield” — about how the celebration of the newly released PC version of the LGBTQ+-friendly 2018 game “Marvel’s

It’s been six months since Russia invaded Ukraine because… well, just because. Ukraine never launched an attack on Russia. But it did annoy Russian President Vladimir Putin, which is as good a reason as any to invade. Regardless of the reason, Russia is in Ukraine, and its vaunted military has been unable to break through

“Hey, Si-Woo, as soon as the funds hit my Zurich account, I will leave you-know-what under the ball washer at the 11th hole at that certain golf course.” That’s the kind of Spy Who Came in From the Cold scenario the liberal media are dreaming of as it speculated over Donald Trump’s motivation in reportedly retaining classified documents

We all know what the raid on former President Donald Trump was REALLY all about — the 2024 election. Whether you love Trump or hate him, this unprecedented act is a LOT bigger than just one man. And the same people behind Obamagate, who weaponized the DOJ and FBI by using obscure laws, seem to

A fight between two girls on a school bus led to one bringing back a gun according to Louisiana police, and much of the incident was caught on video. The incident unfolded on Friday at about 2:30 p.m. on a bus with students from the Akili Academy in New Orleans. Videos posted to social media

Are conservatives not allowed to hold genuine beliefs on abortion? The front page of Monday’s New York Times showed the outlet once again reducing actual pro-life beliefs to cynical politics. Reporter Kate Zernike wrote “Is a Fetus a Person? An Anti-Abortion Strategy Says Yes.” “Strategy” is a fascinating word choice, remindful of a May 2004

Okay, so there is no quiz, but I figured since those kinds of headlines show up on any given webpage, it should work here. Besides, this is 2022. Unless you medaled in the Oppression Olympics, you already know you are a racist. You don’t need a quiz to tell you that. Take Berkeley, for example.

Democratic Rep. Charlie Crist, who won Florida’s Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, declared on Wednesday that he does not want the votes of Floridians who support Republican Gov.
