Marijuana does not deserve any celebration. This is especially true given the trove of devastating facts revealed about the drug in multiple studies released in recent years. We should be working to end recognition of 4/20, not encourage more acknowledgment.

Defund NPR
There is one small measure Republicans can take that would at least signal to their voters they are interested in fighting back against the Left: defunding NPR. There is simply no excuse for sending taxpayer dollars to journalists obsessed with demonizing conservatives.
Make Blocking Traffic a Federal Crime
State and local governments are mostly free to maintain law and order as they see fit. But that changes when federal money is used to build and maintain highways, or involves critical interstate transportation infrastructure such as airports and bridges.
Biden’s Mideast Policy Disaster
Iran’s latest offensive is part of a larger pattern of aggression that has been tolerated for too long by the Biden administration. The president’s reflex for appeasing Iran has encouraged its belligerence and made the need for a radical course correction urgent.
The Media Mourn a Murderer
If you glanced at the headlines from the legacy media outlets about the death of Orenthal James Simpson this week, you might think that he was a famous football player who overcame a racist judicial system instead of the murderer he was.
Biden’s Poor Polling May Be as Good as It Gets for Him
Although it hardly looks like it, President Joe Biden may already be peaking in his race to keep the White House.
The Authoritarian Biden Presidency

Buttigieg Mocks Crime Concerns from His Personal Security Bubble
Buttigieg doesn’t have to worry about the consequences of crime because he has his own personal security. It is the purest of Democratic bubbles, which allows Buttigieg to dismiss the concerns of (mostly black) residents of Washington, D.C., who are being subjected to the city’s crime surge.
Bidenomics Isn’t Working
Bidenomics seems only to be working for part-time, mostly foreign workers. The rest of the population is out of luck as prices rise and borrowing costs make American dream essentials, such as a house and a car, less affordable than ever.
The Biden Administration’s Relentless DEI Push Continues Apace
The fact that the Biden administration stubbornly clings to DEI — the way Obama said Americans clung to their guns and Bibles — is puzzling. The private sector seems to be running away from DEI with as much speed as it initially rushed into the embrace of these dubious trainings and practices.
Republicans Should Embrace JK Rowling’s Moral Courage
Rowling, described both former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as “extraordinary,” declared former President Donald Trump as “worse than Voldemort,” and supports abortion rights. She is also an unapologetic defender of biological women. She is an invaluable ally.
No Reason for LSU Basketball Team to Miss National Anthem
Not being on the court was disrespectful. It’s an arrogant display of ignorance and self-centeredness. Either the team skipped it as a protest of some sort (and tried to cover it up by claiming they were never on the court for it), or they didn’t care enough about it to be on the court for its performance. Neither is a good look.
Vanderbilt Shows How to Handle Entitled Student Mobs
Almost 30 students staged a sit-in outside the Chancellor office to protest that Vanderbilt wouldn’t let students vote on sanctions proposal against Israel.

Biden’s Green Economy Will Break the Energy Grid
A completely green energy economy is a fantasy promoted by the progressive Left, who are clueless about economics and the “wants” of the public.
Don’t Blame DEI for Baltimore Bridge Collapse
In the aftermath of the tragic collision of a cargo ship into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, hot-take artists immediately pointed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as the main culprit. As of now, there is scant evidence that DEI initiatives played any role in the tragic destruction of the Key Bridge.
Republicans Need to Turn Against Marijuana
Republicans have given ground to the Left’s relentless push for self-satisfaction regarding recreational marijuana. They need a serious course correction and should reexamine this subject before praising the legalization of marijuana as some sort of grand bipartisan accomplishment and a societal good.
A Biden-Harris Second Term Is a Nightmare Scenario
Think of the sustained stress that 45-year-old John F. Kennedy had to endure during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis Then ask yourself if President Joe Biden could, even right now, bear that load.
The Electric Car Fiasco
It’s clear that the demand for electric vehicles is much smaller than that predicted by environmental enthusiasts and imposed on carmakers by the Biden administration.
Half a Decade Later, Christine Blasey Ford Still Has No Corroborating Witnesses
More than half a decade after Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh became the second of three Supreme Court justices appointed by former President Donald Trump, Christine Blasey Ford has reemerged from the wilderness of #Resistance-era one-hit wonders.
The Left Turns on Fani Willis

Tik Tok Needs a Conservative U.S. Buyer
TikTok has an enormous user base of 170 million in the U.S. Its potential for influencing the population at large is vast, which means Silicon Valley tech companies with an overrepresentation of left-wing views must not be allowed to buy it.
Brian Kemp Proves That Conservatism Wins
The idea that being a conservative is some sort of electoral liability in swing districts or states or that Republicans must abandon things like the pro-life position to win elections is disproven by both Kemp and DeSantis.
MAGA Needs Grow Up
The MAGA movement has not achieved anything like its true electoral potential — and it likely never will. That’s because it refuses to grow up. The movement, like its woke counterpart, is animated primarily by its addiction to grievance and attention-seeking behavior, not by an authentic desire to implement its vision.
