The latest Congressional Budget Office report released earlier this month calculated that the federal government collected $4.9 trillion of federal revenue last year. This was up almost $1.5 trillion since 2017, the year before the tax cuts became law. In other words, revenues were up 40% in five years.

California Is the Place You Oughta Leave
The political progressives who run the state are dragging it down. The taxes, regulations, and bizarre social policies they’ve put in place are driving people away. The latest proposal to hit the drawing board is a new wealth tax that would go after the billionaires whose tax payments are keeping the state going.
McCarthy’s Agenda Should Focus on Unmasking Democrats
McCarthy should do what the gobsmackingly feeble and accommodationist Senate GOP “leader” Mitch McConnell of Kentucky fails to do on virtually every issue except judicial appointments: Unite Republicans, divide Democrats and invite members of the donkey party to make asses of themselves by confirming their Woke, radical socialism.
A Darker Reality Lies Behind Dems’ Gas Stove Ban
American home cooks erupted at the news that nanny state bureaucrats have set their sights on gas stoves as the latest hazard they want to eliminate. After fierce backlash, Democrats are eager to convince you that this is just a case of smoke without a gas-powered fire.
Biden’s Gas Stove Crusade Is Just a Preview of What’s Coming
Biden’s regulators across several agencies are pursuing costly and intrusive red tape for a lot of things that fire up or plug in around the house, and all in the name of fighting climate change.
George Santos Is Putting the GOP Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Let him stay or make him go, there’s no easy way out of the mess he’s caused. Perhaps there’s a deal to be had and, if there is, McCarthy better make it quick. The longer he sits in Congress without falling on his sword — which besides being the honorable thing to do is the option available to Santos that doesn’t threaten other Republicans — the more dangerous he is to have around.
Is Pete Buttigieg the Most Incompetent Transportation Secretary Ever?
Seriously, why the hell is this guy in charge? Ask yourself why Joe Biden is president and you have your answer. Neither of them have any clue what they’re doing (in Joe’s case, he doesn’t have a clue, period). They both take time off while the country burns.
America’s Border Crisis Is Biden Made
The Biden administration’s open border policies and its refusal to fully enforce federal immigration laws have imposed huge costs on local communities across the country. Border states are groaning under the enormous cost of sheltering, feeding, educating, policing and providing medical care for tens of thousands of illegal aliens.
The House Speaker’s Race Is Worth Celebrating
There is a huge split within the Republican Party. The party establishment sees an America that’s fundamentally the same as it was in 1985 and has a policy agenda fit for just that moment. These Republicans still see big business as their allies. The other wing of the Republican party sees a country slipping away. They want real reforms.
Biden Vacations 40% of the Year
The Republican National Committee Research Department studied the presidential record. Based on its tweet, President Joe Biden spent 146 days on vacation in 2022. This means that during 40% of the year, Biden was somewhere other than the White House.
Dems Are Throwing Away a Chance to Have McCarthy in the Palm of Their Hands
As a practical matter, winning the speakership on the votes of Democrats would leave McCarthy in a permanently untenable position. They could put him there and they could keep him there by providing the votes needed to turn back any effort by the “Never Kevin” crowd to force a vote on a motion to vacate the chair.
Dems Put America on a Dangerous Path
Now House Republicans must turn things around.
If DeSantis Wants to Be President, He Needs to Clear the Field
It’s simple: In a head-to-head matchup, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis might be able to take down former President Donald Trump in 2024. In a crowded field, Trump will win easily.
Here’s What the Hanukkah Story Can Teach Us About Today’s Culture War
The story of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is actually the story of a culture war — one similar in many ways to the conflicts raging in modern America.
Let’s Hope African Leaders See Through the Biden Administration’s Anti-Prosperity Agenda
At the heart of the Biden administration’s policies lies a fundamental truth: their privileged worldview and commitment to their radical climate agenda is not only “un-American,” it is also anti-progress, anti-prosperity and at its core, anti-human.
If the Grinch Ever Wanted to Steal Christmas Again, He Could Just Adapt the Left’s Economic Politics
Don’t physically take the presents or food, just make them too expensive to buy.
Sam Brinton for President
As a gender-fluid, bisexual kink and bondage expert, President Brinton could inspire a new generation of kids to seek out puberty blockers while showing the rest of the world what America really stands for. Under the Brinton administration, we could double the length of Pride Month, put a drag queen in every classroom and ensure the Progress Flag flies from every U.S. embassy.
Corporate America’s Bi-Coastal Liberal Elites’ Risky Lurch Left
Failing and underperforming “woke” American companies are rotten with woke-ism. It is an easy way to mask poor performance: pat yourself on the back and say that you have achieved some mystical form of diversity or social justice, or that you have saved the planet.
President Newsom? God Help the USA
Despite his ability to raise the populist blood pressure, Gavin Newsom should stay in California the next four years and try to at least make some progress fixing the state he swears he loves. If he has some success, then he’ll have something to run on. As it is now, his record is one of failure and hypocrisy that only appeals to fringe elements of the American electorate.
GOP Race for 2024 Is Real
Trump fatigue, in short, is real.
Reagan’s Vision of a Populist GOP Is Coming True with J.D. Vance
Intellectual populists like J.D. Vance can’t be written off as demagogues playing to the hatreds of ignorant masses. They can argue effectively against establishment policies that have brought disaster to everyday Americans and eviscerate the entrenched D.C. bureaucracy on a constitutional basis.
Florida Is Blazing a New Trail for the Republican Party
The future of the Republican Party is not hard to find. National Republicans need to simply let Florida and its transformational governor show them the way.
Toxic Femininity Is Costing Republicans Elections
If Republicans want any chance of winning future elections, they must engage in the culture wars head-on. And that means engaging the women of this country to embrace traditional womanhood and to reject toxic feminism. We need to build up families, build up communities, and rely on one another rather than the government.
“Candidate Quality” Doesn’t Explain the Failed Red Wave
The outcome of this election cycle, like the last, was determined by early voting (now forever described as any ballot cast before a debate that includes John Fetterman) and mail-in ballots — the kind co-chairs Jimmy Carter and James Baker III cautioned against in the 2005 “Building Confidence in U.S. Elections” report.
