ANALYSIS – Apparently, now to flailing Democrats, everything is a ‘threat to democracy.’ So much so that Chris Krebs, the discredited former head of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is joining the liberal chorus. He simply replaced the term ‘threat’ with ‘risk.’ ‘Threat to democracy’ is the Democrats’ 2022 version of ‘Russia collusion.’ Recall that Krebs was fired by then-President Trump in 2020 after Krebs, without any way to confirm, stated that the 2020 election was the “most secure” ever. CISA is part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is tasked with “strengthening cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across all levels of government.”…

ANALYSIS – We are just hours away from a major electoral shift with the Republicans expected to retake the House and possibly the Senate, too. That will put a hard brake on Joe Biden and the left’s radical agenda and make Biden more of a lame duck than he already is. It may even put an impeachment target on his back. So, what can we expect from a GOP-led Congress in January? According to current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the top priority of a Republican-led House would be addressing the horrible migrant crisis at the southern border. (RELATED: Critical Voter Bloc…

ANALYSIS – Can we say dangerous left-wing intelligence hack? With Joe Biden and the Democrats demonizing conservatives, partisan, out-of-work former intelligence officers, without much of a ‘war on terror’ to fight anymore, and looking for new work, are now targeting Americans as their new terrorist bogeyman. And following the bizarre ‘underwear hammer attack’ on Nancy Pelosi’s husband in San Francisco, the Democrats are on a tear blaming Republicans for violence. (RELATED: San Fransisco Police Provide Update on Paul Pelosi Attack) This despite the fact that the Pelosi attacker was a crazy, life-long pot-smoking hippie, left-wing nudist and illegal alien from…

ANALYSIS – The establishment media and liberal elites in the U.S. and Europe regularly condemn Hungarian President Viktor Orbán’s alleged ‘illiberalism,’ but U.S. conservatives see his domestic model, if not his foreign policy, as a welcome success story. Most recently American conservatives flocked to Budapest for a Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in May. Sadly, I was unable to attend but would have loved to have been there. At the next CPAC in Dallas, Texas this August, Orbán was given a standing ovation. So, what is it about Orbán that American conservatives like so much?  First let me say there are…

ANALYSIS – Even as Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) publicly shuttered its stillborn ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ (aka Ministry of Truth) after a huge outcry, new evidence shows that Team Biden is still trying to use DHS to collude with Big Tech to censor Americans on social media. The latest information uncovered through an investigation by The Intercept points to a Facebook-designed portal that government officials could use to flag content they deem objectionable and request that the platform remove it. (RELATED: Facebook Experiences Massive Outage Day After Bombshell Report) According to The Intercept: There is also a formalized process for government officials…

ANALYSIS – On the good news front, it is becoming increasingly clear that the vast majority of Americans strongly oppose the outrageous transgender agenda being imposed on our children by the left. Many rightfully liken the trans push on kids to child abuse. This provides stark confirmation that the Democrat-led trans insanity is causing a severe backlash and that states like Florida are right to be shutting it down in schools. So why aren’t conservatives fighting harder on this critical issue? A recent poll by Scott Rasmussen conducted for America’s New Majority Project noted: Americans have broad and intense opposition to elements…
