(Article Victor Davis Hanson republished from AMGreatness.com)

Biden’s track record as president may be more concerning than his cognitive decline. He has literally destroyed the U.S. border, deliberately allowing the entry of more than 10 million illegal aliens. His callous handlers’ agenda was to import abjectly poor constituencies in need of vast government services without regard for the current struggles of a battered American middle class and poor.

Submitted by State Sen. Dave Cortese (D-San Jose), SB 553 has already passed in the State Senate and is currently being deliberated upon by the Democrat-controlled State Assembly.

Leftists introduce “CLIMATE MURDER” charges to try to terminate the oil industry and force automobile manufacturers to go all electric

10 days ago -

"Climate murder" charges are coming

To accomplish this, left-wing climate activists (who believe the world is ending if we don’t stop carbon emissions) are introducing a new concept called “CLIMATE MURDER.” Under this authoritarian new rule, oil companies can be accused of second-degree murder when temperatures rise in the summer, leading to inevitable heat-related deaths.

If accepted as precedent, the same “climate murder” conjecture can apply to deaths that result from other ...

12 days ago -

Up until now, those in the top one percent with plenty of cash on hand have been gobbling up real estate like it is nobody's business, creating record-high home prices that the other 99 percent can no longer afford. We are starting to see cracks at the top, though, as even the richest among us are no longer purchasing homes at sky-high prices, which could mean a housing collapse is soon on the way.

Widely recognized among economists and financial experts as the most tangible ...
