I recently stood on the floor of the Ohio House of Representatives and delivered a speech in support of Senate Bill 1. This legislation would strengthen Ohio’s higher education system by eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates from our college campuses. As a proud black man and a Republican legislator, my remarks quickly gained traction, racking up millions of views and comments on social media. Predictably, the loudest backlash came from white liberals.

Trump's tariff triumph big step for America's comeback 0 replies
Posted by gaboy 4/10/2025 3:37:58 PM Post Reply
Big media and big finance insisted the financial sky was falling this week, but with President Donald Trump, you never know exactly where you are in any deal-making process. Weighing in too soon can make you look stupid. On Wednesday, the deal-maker in chief announced a 90-day pause on sky-high tariffs directed at 75 nations which did not retaliate against his measures and have asked the administration for a reprieve and time to negotiate.Democrats, and a fair number of free-marketeer conservatives to boot, celebrated Trump "caving" to the pressure of the financial markets. But when the smoke settled, it was clear that, far from

Why ‘Liberation Day’ Frightened Democrats 5 replies

Anyone foolish enough to take seriously the rhetoric of the Democrats concerning the reciprocal tariffs announced by President Trump on “Liberation Day” will experience two sensations — dread and confusion. This unpleasant combination was inevitable due to the strident denunciation of tariffs by a political party whose presidents have routinely deployed them in the recent past. President Obama, for example, imposed a 35 percent tariff on Chinese tires and President Biden deployed a 25 percent tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum. Yet the voters are now expected to believe the Trump tariffs will somehow plunge us into a recession.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made it clear in an interview with CNN that the era of trade imbalances is over, and under President Trump, the U.S. will no longer tolerate unfair treatment. During a discussion with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Bessent confidently explained the administration’s position on tariffs and trade policy, signaling that Trump’s economic strategy is deliberate and well thought out. When pressed on how the administration’s policies could impact the auto industry, particularly regarding vehicles made with foreign parts, Bessent was blunt. “If half the cars coming into the United States are foreign-made, that's hard to turn around overnight, as you know,” Collins said.

Brave American soldiers helped win World War II. But they could not have succeeded without a rock-solid auto industry that mass-produced tanks, trucks and jeeps by the millions. Today, this key pillar of America’s once-vaunted “Arsenal of Democracy” has been hollowed out by decades of unfair trade. No longer does America fully manufacture its own automobiles. We largely assemble high-value parts made overseas. To restore our auto industry to strategic dominance, President Donald Trump has imposed 25% tariffs not just on foreign-built autos but also on imported auto parts. These new Trump tariffs will provide powerful incentives for automakers to bring engine, transmission and drivetrain production back to American soil.
Teachers Unions Utilize NewsGuard to Censor Education 1 reply

While it is certainly good news that Congress is finally waking up to the dangers posed by the “Censorship Industrial Complex,” last week’s hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution didn’t sufficiently address one of its most insidious aspects. Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), the Subcommittee Chair, did a good job of outlining the threat it presents news outlets that refuse to parrot corporate media propaganda. Unfortunately, neither Sen. Schmitt nor his articulate witnesses devoted anything like enough attention to the capture of our public education system by the censorship regime promoted by the nation’s two largest teachers unions.
Policing as Public Health 2 replies

Twenty-first-century policymakers profess a deep commitment to “public health,” and they now apply the concept to the problem of violent crime in cities. When Joe Biden took office as president in 2021, for example, he promoted the adoption of public-health interventions to address an uptick of murders; last June, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy declared gun violence a public-health crisis. These initiatives may be well-intentioned, but they ignore a hard truth. Police departments play a critical role in controlling violent crime and should be part of the public-health approach. Advocates of such an approach to crime tend to be reluctant to engage the

I think we can all agree that the Democratic Party is in deep trouble. Whatever poll you look at, the results are the same: approval for the Party is in the mid-to-high 20s, with ordinary voters disgusted by their antics and their bizarre priorities and values. Admittedly, many Democratic Party elected officials are genuinely ideologically captured--cultural or even economic Marxists who believe that the West needs to be destroyed, that children need to be sterilized and mutilated, and that the primary role of government is putting dollars into the pockets of Leftist lunatics. But at least a plurality, and likely a majority of

The White House said Russia and Ukraine have both agreed to "eliminate the use of force" in the Black Sea following talks in Saudi Arabia, a sign of progress toward the war-ending peace deal that U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to secure. In two separate statements on the outcomes of the talks between the sides, the White House said Moscow and Kyiv had "agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea." Moreover, the United States "will help restore Russia's access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower

Having lost the White House and being in the minority in both chambers of Congress, Democrats are leveraging their expansive network of left-wing district court judges to sabotage the implementation of President Donald Trump’s agenda. In a single day this week, district court judges issued rulings blocking Trump’s executive order banning transgender individuals from enlisting or serving in the military, determined that dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency likely violated the Constitution, demanded the Trump administration provide details about flights transporting alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador on Saturday, and ordered the reinstatement of Department of Education grants

In February, Vice President J.D. Vance surprised many at the Munich Security Conference by raising concerns about the erosion of democratic values among our allies. He explicitly stated, “In Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat.” This caused no small amount of consternation on both sides of the Atlantic, but it clearly needed to be said. Even as American voters decisively returned free speech advocates to the Presidency, Senate and House of Representatives — the European Parliament passed and the EU is expeditiously implementing troubling censorship laws such as the Digital Services Act (DSA).

As of March 15, at least 46 federal court decisions involving Donald Trump's agenda or Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have at least temporarily paused some of these initiatives.There's a logjam of cases making their way from lower courts to the Supreme Court, where the fate of most of those initiatives will be decided. Trump knew that federal courts, with few exceptions, would oppose him. Most of the judges were appointed by Joe Biden and Barack Obama, and the cases have been filed in left-friendly districts like Boston, Maryland, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. More than 160 lawsuits have been filed,

The Baltimore city council has proposed a bill that would put menstrual products in all men’s public restrooms. Baltimore Councilman Paris Gray sponsored the bill and introduced it at the city council’s bi-monthly meeting, saying it reflects the city’s desire for menstrual equity. “Access to menstrual products should be as fundamental as access to soap or toilet paper,” Gray said. “It is an essential part of personal hygiene, and yet, for far too many people, these products remain out of reach. Menstrual products are not a luxury. They are a necessity,

Egg prices have not fallen by “one cent” since President Donald Trump took office, “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg gushed Wednesday. She’s wrong. Egg prices have fallen 44 percent since the start of 2025 after prices had soared to record levels under former President Joe Biden’s administration, according to Trade Economics. Despite the significant fall in egg prices, Goldberg claimed she has not seen these prices fall in any way, shape or form. (X) “[Trump] did promise to lower the price of groceries, I have not seen an egg fall one cent since this man got in,” Goldberg said, prompting co-host Sunny Hostin to falsely say they are going up.

The proposal, which must be approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, would raise overall mailing services product prices bUSPS in January opted not to hike prices for the first time since 2022 after a series of price hikes in recent years.

We all are aware of how badly Joe Biden did in his disastrous debate in June 2024. His people tried to save him by arranging an interview shortly thereafter with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. But it didn't go well for Biden, as he continued to show he was completely out of it during the interview. Not only did it do nothing to calm the nerves of jittery Democrats, but Biden made bizarre comments about how he would win because he got bigger crowds than Donald Trump (he didn't), and that he was distracted by Trump shouting at him

Rep. Emilia Sykes, a vulnerable Ohio Democrat, is seeking a fundraising boost from Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas), the left-wing firebrand whose insults directed at Republicans consistently stir controversy. Sykes and Crockett formed a joint fundraising committee, the Crockett Sykes Victory Fund, on April 2, roughly two weeks after Crockett called Texas’s wheelchair-bound Greg Abbott (R.) "Governor Hot Wheels," a Federal Election Commission filing shows. The arrangement will allow Democrats to piggyback off each other’s shared fundraising efforts, potentially collecting larger checks as a result. Sykes's decision to pair with an increasingly controversial, left-wing figure may help bring in cash, but it could also scare off the moderate voters

A majority have an unfavorable view of Democrats in Congress, a weekly survey from the Economist/YouGov found. The survey asked respondents if they have a favorable or unfavorable view of Democrats in Congress. Across the board, 60 percent said they have an unfavorable view, and of those, 37 percent have a “very” unfavorable view. Just 31 percent have a favorable view, but of those, only 10 percent have a “very” favorable view of Democrats. Predictably, most Democrats, 71 percent, have a favorable view of Democrats in Congress, while the vast majority of Republicans, 93 percent, have an unfavorable view. Most independents, 62 percent, also have an unfavorable view of Democrats in Congress.

We’ll talk to an expert so you know the facts and your rights,” featured co-host Vladimir Duthiers boasted in the “Eye Opener,” making it seem like CBS is concerned with giving safe harbor to illegal immigrants.

President Donald Trump will undergo his first physical examination of his second administration on Friday, and questions about cognitive testing hang in the balance. “I am pleased to report that my long scheduled Annual Physical Examination will be done at Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Friday of this week,” the president wrote on Truth Social this week. “I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!” At 78 years old, Trump was the oldest person ever sworn into office in January but, unlike his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, has not faced major questioning about his mental acuity. The White House has not said whether Trump’s exam

It is remarkable how little we know about the two 2024 attempts on President Donald Trump’s life. We don’t know much about Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old who shot Trump in the ear during a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Nor do we know much about Ryan Routh, the 59-year-old former construction worker who lay in wait allegedly hoping to shoot Trump at Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, golf course just a couple of months later on Sept. 15. But we learned something big about Routh in a court filing from prosecutors Tuesday. What we learned was that Routh allegedly hoped to obtain a shoulder-fired rocket from Ukraine with which

On one side are representatives of small- and medium-sized trucking companies and the drivers they employ, and on the other, a state-level affiliate of one of America’s most powerful lobbying organizations, whose name doesn’t really tell the full tale of whose interests they represent.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) account on X shared eyebrow-raising findings from a survey of unemployment insurance claims. The "initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020" found that thousands of people with future birthdates claimed benefits. The survey also indicated that thousands of supposedly very young and very old people had claimed benefits. The DOGE post states that the survey found, "24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits," "28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits," and "9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits." "In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k,"
