The FBI is reducing hiring standards to the point where it is considering overweight applicants and hiring barely literate agents, a group of current and former FBI agents and analysts allege. In a report delivered to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, the FBI officials describe how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is being prioritized in […]
CNN political commentators S.E. Cupp and John Avlon sparred Monday over the border crisis, with Cupp alleging Democrats bear a good brunt of the blame. The Senate released the long-awaited text of a border package in exchange for Ukraine aid. The bill would appropriate $48 billion to Ukraine, and nearly $16 billion to Israel and fund border […]

The fatuous thinking behind critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The recent Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament showed that CRT and DEI are not passing fads.

Once upon a time, constitutional interpretation actually involved interpreting the text of the Constitution. It’s not a blank slate. Its words have actual meanings. While the federal 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recognizes that the Constitution contains words, the judges on that court seem to think they can ascribe any meaning—no matter how outlandish—to those […]

It’s bad enough that the abortion lobby is fully committed to its disturbing agenda to enshrine abortion up until birth in the Arizona Constitution. But now, it appears, that the overwhelming majority of the funding to get this measure on our ballot in November isn’t even coming from within our state. I recently examined the […]

I’m a Utopian Pacifist. Although I’ve written ten successful books on American gun law*, I support no weapons of any kind on the surface of the Earth, in an era of enduring peace, prosperity, harmony, and abundance.

KEY TAKEAWAYS The report focuses correctly on the extent of China’s military buildup and modernization program. The report errs by relying on China’s official defense budget topline of $230 billion. As worrying as this report is—it almost certainly underestimates the threat posed by China. The Defense Department’s latest annual China Military Power Report gets a lot […]

It is alarming that such an important election coming in November may be decided by people who think that the only issue that matters is the “correct“ use of pronouns according to their personal preferences. Rather, there are a lot more important issues that voters should consider and unfortunately, the country is deeply divided on […]

To save American immigration policy, Trump must call for the Senate leader’s removal. For the first time maybe in decades, the Right has the Left exactly where they want them on immigration. Americans, both urban and rural, blue and red, are in open revolt against Biden’s open-border policies. They are seeing the destruction in their […]

We had some good news recently: the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee voted to recommend two articles of impeachment against Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. The matter now will be taken up by the entire House. If the House votes to impeach (which is by no means certain, given […]
