From McCarthy's piece at the New York Post:
. . . This is how the Obama administration rolled.
When high officials were involved in a dodgy activity they wanted to shield from public disclosure laws, they frequently used pseudonymous email accounts. . . .
[Obama] knew that she was using a non-government communications channel because, numerous times, she used it to correspond with him.
You were never supposed to know that because they concealed it on both ends.
Clinton used not only a non-government address but a non-secure, private domain that the FBI concluded could eas ..read more

Montana is one of the last states without charter schools, but that may be about to change. Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a pair of bills into law that establish separate and distinct charter school systems in the state — one widely embraced by Republican legislators and advocates of past charter school efforts, and the other supported by the bulk of Montana’s public education organizations as well as a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers.
But there is a new report that should be kept in mind as Democrats in the state seek to challenge the new law. From the Wall Street Journal ..read more

The 2020 US Census undercounted population in six states, five of which are Republican states (Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas) and one Democrat state (Illinois). The Census overcounted population in eight states, six of which are Democrat states (Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Rhode Island) and two Republican states (Ohio and Utah). Some of these errors are huge, over 5% in Arkansas, Delaware, and Rhode Island and in a number of cases changed the distribution of congressional seats.
These errors clearly gave Democrats extra congressional seats and e ..read more

I have a new op-ed at The Federalist.
Democrats are lying to Americans about the most likely motivations for mass murderers and the prevalence of guns in violent crime.
In his Buffalo, New York speech last week following a mass shooting, President Biden showed he still has only two things on his mind regarding crime: guns and white supremacists.
.
No one can defend white supremacists. But with violent crime soaring and this latest attack in Buffalo, people want something done. Yet Biden’s agenda won’t make people safer.

“Look, we’ve seen the mass shootings in Cha ..read more

This spokesman for Russia must be getting paid a lot to say some of the things that he is claiming.
Ukraine War: Full Sky News interview with Vladimir Putin's spokesman "The hospital [that was blown up] was a fake."
In Bucha: "Not a single local resident has suffered from any violent actions while Russia was in control" All these dead bodies were staged. All the claims about dead bodies are fake.

With the new Supreme Court nomination coming soon, claims of racism are sure to be lodged against any Republican who votes against the black female that Biden has promised to nominate. From Fox News:
The Senate Democrats in question all voted against Ada E. Brown, former President Trump’s nominee for district judge of the northern district of Texas.
Brown, a Black woman, was confirmed in September 2019 by a vote of 80-13, with the 13 "nay" votes coming from Democratic Senators Chuck Schumer, Tammy Baldwin, Richard Blumenthal, Sherrod Brown, Maria Cantwell, Catherine Cortez Mas ..read more
