Deep dives
Biden's Puzzling Actions on 9/11 and Tribute to John McCain
During the 9/11 memorial, President Joe Biden's actions were puzzling. Instead of flying directly back to the US from Vietnam, he flew to Alaska for an unrelated event and paid tribute to John McCain. Biden's claims of national unity on 9/11 are undermined by his divisive rhetoric and far-left policy agenda. Additionally, Biden's decision to sign a $6 billion check to the Iranian government on the anniversary of 9/11 is a concerning and potentially dangerous move.
Government Agencies' Coercion of Social Media Platforms Violates First Amendment
A recent ruling from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that federal agencies, including the Surgeon General's office and the CDC, likely violated the First Amendment by pressuring social media platforms to moderate posts related to COVID and vaccines. These actions undermine freedom of speech and turn social media into instruments of the government. The court's decision highlights the importance of protecting free speech rights online.
Democrats exploiting redistricting process to gain advantage
Recent rulings by state and federal judges have favored Democrats in the redistricting process, potentially allowing them to offset losses and even gain seats in Congress. By using the court system to draw congressional maps favorable to their party, Democrats are positioning themselves to gain an advantage in the upcoming elections, while Republicans are struggling to counter these moves.
Republican infighting over speaker position threatens party unity
Several ultra-conservative members of the House GOP are considering turning against House Speaker Kevin McCarthy if he does not take a hard line in negotiations with the Senate and the Biden administration. This infighting threatens to further divide the party and undermine their ability to achieve priorities and advance their agenda. Republicans need to focus on unity and strategic planning to effectively counter the Democratic agenda rather than turning against their own leadership.
The Geography of Crime in Prosperous Areas
Crime statistics show that the geography of crime has become more diffuse, with prosperous areas becoming less immune. This challenges the notion that violence is predominantly concentrated in poor neighborhoods.
The Troubling State of Philadelphia's Kensington Area
A video from Philadelphia's Kensington area reveals the alarming presence of addicts in a trance-like state, passed out on the streets. The footage depicts homeless encampments and addicts resorting to crime and theft to sustain themselves. The widespread use of a dangerous drug called Trank, a potent animal tranquilizer mixed with fentanyl, poses a grave threat to public safety in the city.
Joe Biden travels to Alaska for 9/11 while signing a $6 billion giveaway to the Iranian mullahs; the Fifth Circuit smacks down the White House for interfering with free speech; and Republicans seek new ways to lose the House of Representatives.
