ANALYSIS – Double standards galore. Even as the White House bashed House GOP plans to investigate the Biden family’s shady foreign business dealings, Joe Biden’s weaponized attorney general, Merrick Garland, announced he is appointing a special prosecutor to investigate former President Trump and his allies. This special counsel, Jack Smith, will oversee the alleged national security documents retained at Mar-a-Lago by former President Trump as well as some aspects of the criminal investigation into Jan. 6, also involving Trump. (RELATED: Garland to Name Special Counsel to Investigate Trump) Garland said that he made the decision partly due to Trump’s 2024 announcement…

ANALYSIS – Highlighting the real domestic security threat by China, the FBI is apparently ‘very concerned’ about and investigating the alleged Chinese Communist (Chicom) police stations likely set up illegally in New York, among other cities. This is yet another domestic security failure by a Biden administration obsessed with Jan. 6 and persecuting conservatives instead of combatting real foreign threats to the nation. I have written about these dangerous and repressive Chicom police outposts in the U.S., Canada and elsewhere before.   While ostensibly run by China’s Ministry of Interior via its police forces and using ‘volunteers’ the feared Chinese…

ANALYSIS – ‘Red ripple.’ For at least the last several elections, pollsters have consistently oversampled Democrats and undercounted Republicans, wrongly skewing the polls in the Dems’ favor. This is something I have written about before, and the pollster errors include the ‘shy Trump supporter’ effect where conservatives simply shun pollsters or avoid giving their true views out of fear of retribution or being ‘canceled.’ Frank Luntz, a political strategist said to The Hill: “We knew from 2016, 2018 and even 2020 that Trump voters tended not to respond to pollsters because they thought that the results would be used against them.” This…

ANALYSIS – During Joe Biden’s two-year term in office, the number of illegal migrants swarming into the U.S. has swelled to its highest number in decades.  Many of these illegals have serious criminal records and Team Biden can’t confirm how many or who they are. So, what does the administration do? Rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. Joe Biden’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Chris Magnus was forced to resign over the weekend by Department of Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas. While Magnus, an incompetent leftist ideologue, failed miserably as CPB chief, his firing was purely political, making him a scapegoat…

ANALYSIS – The Biden border crisis just gets worse every day, with no help at all from the White House. And now that a federal court has invalidated Trump’s Title 42 COVID regulation forcing would-be asylum seekers to remain in Mexico, expect a massive new illegal migrant surge. (RELATED: Judge Strikes Down Trump-Era Title 42 Border Policy) Much of that surge and chaos is seen along the border with Texas which takes the brunt of the migrant onslaught. In response, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he is invoking the U.S. Constitution’s invasion clause and taking “unprecedented measures” to repel…

ANALYSIS – The reactionary Islamist regime ruling Iran is facing some of the worst protests in its 40-year history.  The violent unrest, initially sparked by the Iranian police killing of Jina Mahsa Amini, in mid-September, for not properly wearing her headscarf, has spread over the last two months across the entire country and could threaten the regime’s survival. Amini was from Iran’s Kurdish region. One big question is – how much staying power do these protests have? The other big question is – where is Joe Biden on this crisis? As The Jerusalem Post reports: It is hard to quantify the protests, but videos…
