Happy New Year! With 2022 in the rearview mirror, it’s time for a new Congress to begin – one that can finally start addressing the multitude of crises our country faces.

That starts with stopping the out-of-control spending spree ... READ MORE

Washington Democrats were supposed to pass the government ... READ MORE

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.

For years, conservatives have suspected that Big Tech has worked to silence their viewpoints and ensure that liberal ideology is dominant across the Internet. On Twitter, prominent conservatives have been censored, either where topics that are generating enormous interest on the platform are prevented from reaching widespread audiences or where accounts are suspended altogether for no apparent reason.

There have been over a million gotaways, or illegal immigrants who crossed the border and evaded authorities. That’s more than the entire population of Delaware, Biden’s home state. In Oc...
