Despite the shootings that receive widespread media coverage, white people make up the demographic with the highest fatalities from police shootings — nearly twice as many white people are killed by police each year.

Eric Swalwell Is Unfit for Congress and Owes Lauren Boebert and Apology
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has done many classless things during his time in Congress. But this past week, he might have outdone himself with a tweet insinuating a connection between Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Robert E. Crimo III, the Highland Park shooting suspect.
With Roe Dead, Dems Look to Abandon Biden
Biden has never enjoyed support from Republicans, and his support among independents cratered soon after he promised a peaceful withdrawal from Afghanistan that became a historic catastrophe. But a string of new failures, capped off by a weak response to the Supreme Court’s completely foreseeable overturning of Roe v. Wade, has Democrats running to the press with calls for a change in leadership.
While Consumers and Travelers Suffer, Buttigieg Focuses on “Racist” Roads
A gallon of gas is almost $5, hundreds of airline flights are being canceled every day, and a possible strike by West Coast port unions is threatening to make an already unreliable supply chain even worse. But don’t worry, America, your transportation secretary is focused like a laser on the top issue facing consumers and travelers today: racist roads.
It’s Time to Retire Pride Month
Whatever freaky stuff people want to do behind closed doors, that’s their business. Increasingly, Pride events are attempting to make it everyone’s business, playing to the worst possible stereotypes as they do so. This isn’t a civil rights celebration anymore. As such, it’s time for Pride Month to end.
Cassidy Hutchinson Did Not Do Her Job
Some have painted Hutchinson out to be a hero, someone courageous to fulfill her duty of public service. Yet, reading the transcripts, it’s clear that her testimony is mainly based on statements made by others who did not testify. And if the committee believes this is their “star witness,” they have obviously never played the game telephone.
A Supreme Win for Football, Faith and Democracy
The secular Left’s campaign to purge the public sphere of all religious practice suffered a major defeat Monday when the Supreme Court ruled that a public high school violated a coach’s First Amendment right to exercise his religion when it fired him for praying after a football game.
Trump and Dems Look Backward. The GOP Should Move Forward
The Democrats’ made-for-TV hearings revealed virtually no new facts, drew scant public attention, and surely failed to change voting intentions. Instead, they confirmed that the day’s constitutional waywardness did not reflect the Republican Party as a whole and underscored the fact that while Trump behaved dreadfully, other GOP officeholders prudently fulfilled their oaths of office and refused to cooperate with his attempt to overturn the election result.
The Tampon Shortage Is Yet Another “War on Women”
in the coming days, if Biden or the press secretary is asked about this crisis, they will likely answer as they have on the gasoline crisis or the baby formula crisis or other inflationary costs. They will then all go back to the war room and ask themselves why Biden’s approval ratings with women, in particular suburban women, have collapsed in the polls.
The Existential Threat to the Jan. 6 Committee’s Credibility
The Justice Department absolutely should continue investigating and prosecuting those who breached the Capitol. Riots undermine the rule of law, and rioters should be severely punished. But please spare us the fiction that the only thing standing between the United States and tyranny is the supposedly brave members of the Jan. 6 committee.
Transgenderism’s Lies Have a Cost
The effort to deny biological reality is doing irreversible harm to people’s bodies and minds. It is not compassionate — it’s cruel. And as Heritage’s study shows, its consequences are all too often fatal.
Biden and the Powerless Presidency
Biden will not admit that his policies, and his party’s policies, have made inflation worse. Instead, the president’s reaction has been a mixture of denial, finger-pointing, ineffective gestures, and, perhaps most of all, the argument that he, as president, is virtually powerless to address the nation’s most pressing concern.
Biden Remains Stuck in Trump’s Shadow
With incumbent President Joe Biden shying from the spotlight and struggling to get his messages to resonate, Trump commands a media presence much larger than that of a typical ex-president. With Jan. 6 committee hearings scheduled for prime time this month, the public will get an even larger dose of the Trump show than usual.
Illegal Immigration Population Soars to More Than 11 Million
Numbers reviewed by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the illegal population grew from 10.2 million when Biden took office to 11.6 million in April.
Record Georgia Turnout Exposes the Dems’ Voter Suppression Lie
Georgia’s adoption of voter ID 16 years ago, combined with the new measures that improve absentee ballot integrity and access to early voting, has made it easier for anyone to vote legitimately. The proof is unfolding now: At 800,000 ballots cast as of Friday, early voting tripled in this year’s primary compared to the last midterm election in 2018.
State Farm Donating Transgender Books for 5-Year-Olds to Florida Schools
The auto insurance company State Farm is encouraging its agents in Florida to donate books promoting transgenderism to 5-year-olds to their local schools or public libraries, according to an email shared by a whistleblower. The email, which was shared with the Washington Examiner, revealed that State Farm has partnered with the GenderCool Project, which promotes issues of gender identity in children through various advocacy and public awareness programs…
Mixed Primary Election Results Show the Importance of Dumping Trump
Hugo Gurdon: The GOP is in excellent shape to take back control of Capitol Hill with House and Senate wins in this November’s midterm elections. But Trump’s grip needs to be prized off the party faster if it is to follow up with a victory in the presidential race of 2024.
Not Even Trump Could Save Cawthorn from the Swamp Monsters
It’s probably for the good of both the party and Cawthorn personally that his career in elected office is done — at least for now.. But the moral of the story is less sanguine: The GOP establishment can tolerate any level of demagoguery, but challenge Beltway secrecy,, even in the most unserious of ways, and the swamp will always strike back.
The Buffalo Shooter Was an Eco-Socialist Who Hated Fox News and Ben Shapiro
The shooter wasn’t radicalized by watching Fox News with family after dinner or listening to Shapiro podcasts in the car to work. The dregs of the internet enraptured him during a government-mandated shutdown of normal social life. By every available statistic, the population at large ran rampant with vices during the isolation of 2020.
Liberal Speakers Dominate Commencements at Top Universities
Only three of the top 100 ranked universities in the country will be hosting a high-profile conservative speaker for their 2022 commencement addresses, according to a report by the Young America’s Foundation , a conservative youth organization. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and former college football star Tim Tebow will be the only notable American conservatives slated to deliver commencement addresses at top schools.
Karine Jean-Pierre Is the Wrong Choice to Rebuild Biden’s Shattered Credibility
What is troubling about Jean-Pierre’s record is her well-established pattern of spreading disinformation about the most important topics of the day.
The NBA Flaunts Its Social Justice Hypocrisy with Games in the UAE
The NBA’s track record of fighting for social justice in the United States while happily ignoring human rights abuses around the world to make a quick buck is unmatched. Now, the league is bringing its human rights blinders to the United Arab Emirates. The NBA will be bringing two preseason games to Abu Dhabi despite homosexuality being illegal in the UAE.
The Unbearable Rightness of Being a Democrat
The public is at least for now seeing Democrats for what they are — a party led by ancient radicals who encourage their base to threaten opponents, stoke fear, and visit violence on those who get in their way. Occasional pious statements about the need for peaceful protest are unconvincing from such a source, and the electorate is, appropriately, unconvinced.
Biden Was Always Going to Be Radically Pro-Abortion
Biden has worked to present himself as the moderate alternative to the progressives in his party. If you’re paying attention, his attempt to do so falls flat. Biden’s slow, grandfatherly mannerisms may work to make him appear less threatening. But the truth of his leftism has been evident since before he was elected president — even on the issue of abortion.
