Nick Kristof's Shamhill Clown Show
- Details
- By Michelle Malkin
Maybe there's a small glimmer of hope for the Left Coast after all. First, San Francisco voters recalled George Soros-funded district attorney and crime-enabler Chesa Boudin. Now, even liberal Oregonians have kicked an East Coast media elitist to the curb and slapped "return to sender" on the carefully crafted package of Nicholas Kristof's self-serving phony baloney.
Last October, the 63-year-old Kristof left his prestigious perch at The New York Times after nearly four decades to run for governor in the Beaver State, where he lived on a Yamhill farm from age 12 through high school graduation, a long, long, time ago. By February, his four-month fantasy stint as a Pacific Northwest political savior had come to a humiliating end when both state officials and the Supreme Court called bull on his preposterous claim of state residency. Last week, New York Nicky and the Times announced he was leaving Yamhill (or as I call it, Shamhill) and going back home -- his real home -- safely enveloped in the Grey Lady's bubble, protected from truth and accountability.

In Washington, Honesty Is Such a Lonely Word
- Details
- By Star Parker
A favorite game of politicians, when reality does not conform to the facts they want, is to simply redefine reality.
Democrats want big government, a lot of spending and taxation, the former of which we are now paying for in inflation, so the new strategy of Democrats is to now
We now have the Senate moving legislation with a price tag of $433 billion in new spending and $327 billion in new taxes, and it's called the Inflation Reduction Act.
It's like McDonald's serving up a new Big Mac with more beef, more cheese and more sauce, and calling it the Weight Watchers Special.
Marxism’s Infiltration of the Church
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
We thought churches and their institutions would be safe.
While radical ideologies such as Critical Race Theory and gender fluidity have dominated recent headlines concerning public school indoctrination, other once-trusted institutions are increasingly adopting the “religion” of the social justice movement1. Mainline Protestant denominations, Catholic orders, traditionally conservative evangelical churches, and many of the seminaries that prepare church leaders are speaking and teaching the political language of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)2. Marxism is the underlying ideology3, which is alarming when one considers Christian theology and the founding principles of this country4.
The Point of No Return
- Details
- By Thomas Sowell
This is an election year. But the issues this year are not about Democrats and Republicans. The big issue is whether this nation has degenerated to a point of no return -- a point where we risk destroying ourselves, before our enemies can destroy us.
If there is one moment that symbolized our degeneration, it was when an enraged mob gathered in front of the Supreme Court and a leader of the United States Senate shouted threats against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, saying "You won't know what hit you!"
There have always been irresponsible demagogues. But there was once a time when anyone who shouted threats to a Supreme Court Justice would see the end of his own political career, and could not show his face in decent society again.
Killing 9/11 Mastermind al-Zawahiri Can’t Save America from ‘Woke’ Military: General
- Details
- By Ben Johnson - The Washington Stand
One of America’s most-hated terrorist enemies has been killed — but it is no time for America to become complacent about the terrorist and geostrategic threats facing our “woke” and politicized military, a top general said on Monday.
President Joe Biden announced Monday night that a U.S. military drone killed the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in Kabul over the weekend. Al-Zawahiri, who succeeded Osama bin Laden after serving as his closest adviser, did much of the terrorist network’s tactical planning, including its attack on the United States on September 11, 2001.
Is the Word 'Evolutionist' a Derogatory Term?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
If you have done any online discussion about universal common descent evolution, you will notice that the proponents of evolution tend to denounce the term evolutionist. They will often claim that it does not exist despite the fact that a simple Google search shows that it is accepted as a word by multiple dictionaries. They usually go on to claim that it is only used by creationists as a derogatory term to make evolution sound like it is just a belief system.

Is Taiwan's Independence Worth War?
- Details
- By Pat Buchanan
When a man knows he is about to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully, said Dr. Samuel Johnson.
If there is any benefit to be realized from the collision between China and the U.S. over Speaker Nancy Pelosi's proposed trip to Taiwan, it is this: America needs to reflect long and hard upon what it is we will fight China to defend in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea.
China, after all, is a nuclear-weapons nation with a manufacturing base larger than our own, an economy equal to our own, a population four times ours and fleets of warships larger in number than the U.S. Navy.
Egyptian Evangelical Leader Reverend Zaki Confirmed as 'Agent' of el-Sisi Government in US

Zaki did not reply to the publication's requests for comment.

The Dems' New Proposal Does Nothing To Lower Inflation
- Details
- By David Harsanyi
The first thing to remember about the reconciliation bill Sens. Joe Manchin and Chuck Schumer agreed to Wednesday is that, despite its utterly preposterous name, it has absolutely zero to do with inflation. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is crammed with the very same spending, corporate welfare, price fixing and tax hikes that were part of Build Back Better -- long-desired progressive wish-list agenda items. Pumping hundreds of billions into the economy will do nothing to alleviate inflation. The opposite.

Biden Is Using Taxpayer Dollars to Fund Ballot Harvesting and Drop Boxes
- Details
- By Dan Hart
A U.S. congresswoman said on Tuesday that a Biden executive order could potentially use taxpayer dollars to fund the use of ballot harvesting, which could include the use of unsupervised ballot drop boxes, in U.S. elections — leaving election integrity experts highly concerned about how this could lead to potential voter fraud.
During a panel discussion at the America First Agenda Summit in Washington, D.C., Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) described her primary concerns about election integrity after her own House race in 2020 turned out much closer than anticipated due to irregular election returns.
The January 6 Committee and the Fourteenth Amendment

Precedents for Chaos and Tyranny - Part 2 of 3
The January 6 Committee intends to use the 14th Amendment to block former President Trump from running again in 2024.
The Fourteenth Amendment consists of five sections. The first clause of Section 1 defines who is a citizen:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
This overturned the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision of 1857, which based on previous precedents, denied citizenship to blacks.

What Is The “Political Spectrum”?
- Details
- By W.H. Lamb
Confusion reigns supreme in the puzzling and sometimes rancorous discussions of who or what is a “right winger” and a “left winger” in the realm of modern and often contentious and deliberately misleading American political debate. Most of us have been programmed for decades by the liberal “mainstream” (left-wing, fake news) media (most newspapers, ALL TV network news, talking “heads” on MOST cable news shows, etc.) to accept their incorrect descriptions that communists and socialists are “left-wing”, and fascists and Nazis and white supremacists are “right-wing”. Americans are often dismayed when they discover that what they’ve been told is truth by those they trusted is a semantic and political deception and an outright factual LIE!
Short-term Rental Owners, Managers Worry About Discrimination

Editor’s Note: Today’s story is the second of two initial articles on short-term rentals in South Carolina. The other story can be found here.
For Graeme Moore, the city of Columbia’s proposal to effectively ban short-term rentals in residential areas is personal to him.
Moore, who operates a Columbia real estate firm, says he’s watching the debate closely because he owns a short-term rental house next to his Columbia home.
“A lot of people do this for primary income,” Moore told The Nerve when contacted recently. “That’s not why we do it necessarily, but it helps pay for the house.”

Senator Schumer Introduces Marijuana Legalization Bill
- Details
- By Eagle Forum
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) introduced a bill to legalize marijuana this week. The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act is being advertised as a simple bill- one that loosens federal regulation of the Schedule I controlled substance. The nearly 300-page bill tells a different story and one that ignores the dangerous impacts of legalization.
Marijuana proponents seem to believe that a good trade-off for legalization is high taxation of the crop. Sen. Schumer’s marijuana bill implements a tax schedule that eventually reaches 25 percent of each cannabis product. However, states that have implemented this policy have seen an increase of illegal use instead of the income they expected. After six years of California’s action to legalize recreational marijuana and impose high taxes, up to three quarters of current sales are from unregistered dealers. Even Oregon’s marijuana market is made up of 70% of illegal sales. Legal dealers simply cannot compete with the black market.
What to Expect from Washington's Latest Industrial Policy
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
Industrial policy is making a comeback. For those of you under the age of 50, this is just another term for corporate welfare -- a lovely name for the unlovely practice of a government granting subsidies, protective tariffs and other privileges to politically influential industries or companies. It's often done in the name of some lofty goal such as strengthening national security or ensuring that America is a leader in the "industries of the future." But the outcome is always the same: wasteful, unfair, unsuccessful and unjustified. Oh, and it invariably grows the budget deficit.

Editor’s Note: The Nerve today is featuring the first of two initial stories on short-term rentals in South Carolina.
With South Carolina’s tourism season in full swing, many summer visitors are looking for short-term rentals through popular sites such as Airbnb and Vrbo.
As of May, there were 41,715 Airbnb or Vrbo available rentals in South Carolina, a 17% increase over the previous year and a 27% jump from May 2019, according to information provided to The Nerve by AirDNA, which tracks short-term rentals worldwide.
The Commie Colonization of America

- By Michelle Malkin
From California to the New York island, from the Redwood Forest to the Gulf stream waters, the land that used to belong to Americans has been milked and bilked by investors and paid government agents of the People's Republic of China. The National Association of Realtors reported last week that wealthy Chinese spent $6.1 billion on U.S. real estate in the past year. They've captured more than 10% of the market and have the highest average purchase price of all foreign real estate investors at over $1 million per home.
Trudeau is Guilty of 'Cultural Genocide'
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
NEW YORK -- Catholic League president Bill Donohue raises questions about the policies of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:
Pope Francis is in Canada apologizing for Christians who cooperated with Canadian government officials in assimilating Indigenous persons into society. The most serious charge against them, as outlined on p. 1 of the Introduction to the Report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, is that of "cultural genocide."
"Cultural genocide" is defined as the destruction of the "structures and practices" of a particular population; it seeks to eradicate their "political and social institutions."
On this score, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is carrying out "cultural genocide" against his own people. Instead of touting the Report, he should spend his time applying the same analysis to his own policies. If he did, he would step down immediately.
Pray for America's Students

- By Lt. Gen. (US Army-Ret.) William G. Boykin
The tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which took the lives of 19 students and two teachers just days before summer break, is a stark reminder that we live in a broken and fallen world.
As a grandfather, my heart grieves for the families who are facing incredible loss in what should have been a joyous time of celebrating the completion of another school year and a milestone in their children's lives.
As followers of Christ, we know God is the source of comfort in times of sorrow. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that "the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Abortion, Democracy and History

- By Star Parker
When Sen. Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln faced off in a debate in Peoria, Illinois, in 1854, the issue tearing apart the nation was slavery.
A central issue was whether slavery would be permitted in new territories entering the union.
Douglas' answer to the question was politics. Lincoln's answer was morality and the Bible.
Douglas' answer to slavery in new states, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, was democracy. Citizens would vote to permit or not permit slavery in their state.
