RENEWAMERICA — Keeping in mind that "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil" (see Acts 10:38), let us all resolve to do our best to do as Jesus did — with the help of God's Spirit — to please God in all aspects of our lives with all our "heart, soul, and mind," as Jesus commands us to do in Matthew 22:37....

WESTERN JOURNAL — A rogue cop is quick to make the news, causing pundits to opine for hours, making generalizations about the entire force. But, this rarely happens when hero cops save lives and families — although such events happen every day. The brave officers of police departments around our country put their lives on the line every day to save others, and it’s important to highlight their sacrificial work, without which the country would be paralyzed....

THE FEDERALIST — On the four-year anniversary of Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home orders, state Attorney General Todd Rokita gathered with Hoosiers who had fought the mandates and told them something most of them knew already: Indiana’s Covid-19 data was wrong. The stats that Holcomb and his state health commissioner Kris Box used to justify the lockdowns inflated death counts and positivity rates, Rokita told his audience. Bad data like those led to bad decisions.... (more)

ABC's Jonathan Karl: 'Look what happened to the last guy'
WORLDNETDAILY — ABC News host Jonathan Karl pressed Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Sunday on why he said it would be an "honor" to serve as presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump's vice president, bluntly asking, "really?" "There was some reporting this week, that you are possibly under consideration to be Donald Trump’s running mate. I don’t put a lot of stock in this reporting right now, we’re early, but you said it would be an honor to be offered a spot on this ticket. Really?" Karl asked.... (more)

NEW YORK POST — The CIA blocked federal investigators from interviewing Hunter Biden’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris during a five-year probe into the first son’s alleged tax crimes, a whistleblower has told House impeachment leaders. House Oversight and Judiciary Committee chairmen say the whistleblower informed them the intelligence agency stopped IRS and Justice Department investigators from interviewing Morris in August 2021, a Hollywood lawyer and patron of the first son, according to a Thursday letter addressed to CIA Director William Burns....

A facility where unborn babies are systematically killed
JERRY NEWCOMBE — For more than 50 years, the left has promoted abortion in America. But last week we saw something new in this battle. For the first time ever, a vice president actually visited a facility where unborn babies are systematically killed when Kamala Harris toured a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. She called laws restricting abortion in other states “immoral.” She also said that abortion and religious commitment were compatible, not incompatible: "One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree that the government should not be telling women what to do with their body."...

NEW YORK POST — There is good reason to conclude, as the state Court of Appeals did Tuesday, that New York City’s property-tax system leads to disproportionately high tax bills for minority homeowners. But those high taxes aren’t the result of discrimination; they’re just one example of a dysfunctional tax-assessment system that burdens homeowners and discourages new housing construction — which both progressive city Comptroller Brad Lander and Republican City Councilman Joe Borelli, strange bedfellows indeed, agree needs top-to-bottom revision....

'Fabulist': having 'an imagination unfettered by the laws of logic and probability' (Oxford Dictionary)
DEBRA HEINE — Hunter Biden’s former business associate Tony Bobulinski went scorched earth on Joe Biden, his son Hunter, his brother Jim, the regime media and House Democrats during the Republican-led House Oversight Committee’s impeachment hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday. In his brutally frank opening statement, Bobulinski also accused Hunter and Jim Biden of telling “flat-out lies” when they were interviewed by the Committee last month, and urged Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) to hold them accountable for their perjury....

WESTERN JOURNAL — The people of Texas may now do what they have a natural and constitutional right to do anyway. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court lifted its own temporary freeze and rejected a Biden administration request to block enforcement of Texas Senate Bill 4, a new law signed in December by Republican Gov.

Mac Warner: 'The election was stolen by the CIA'
THE FEDERALIST — Ensuring the integrity of West Virginia’s elections is part of Mac Warner’s job, but the secretary of state has been just as zealous about protecting national elections from unfair meddling. Now in his second term as the Mountain State’s top election official, Warner has cleaned up West Virginia’s bloated voter rolls and severed the state’s ties with leftist-linked voter roll groups. Even political opponents have credited Warner, who is running for governor as a Republican, with being “vigilant” to make West Virginia elections “very secure.”... (more)

…including Rep. Liz Cheney
JOE KOVACS — A new report reveals former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney's Jan. 6 Committee suppressed evidence President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation's capital on that fateful day in 2021. According to a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist, "Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had 'no evidence' to support Trump officials' claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops....

JERRY NEWCOMBE — It seems like everyone is talking these days about Rob Reiner’s hit-job movie against the religious right, "God & Country." It makes “Christian nationalists” into the bogeyman. Although I travel in the circles of Christian conservatives, I have yet to meet anyone who has actually seen Reiner’s movie. But I have seen a trailer for it. The thesis of the movie is that “Christian nationalists” are bad and are trying to take over the nation and turn it into something it was never intended to be.... (more)

'A level that is so far beyond what we've seen with previous political leaders'
BOB UNRUH — U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., says the Biden family, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the rest, are corrupt. In fact, more corrupt than anyone in American politics before. Ever. "I believe that this is the most corrupt family ever in a position of power in this country's history," she said in a recent interview with Cowboy State Daily. "We’re talking about a level of corruption that is so far beyond what we’ve seen with previous political leaders."... (more)

JOHN DANIEL DAVIDSON OF THE FEDERALIST — Hot on the heels of a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling on Monday that states have “no power” to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot, Democrats and their lackeys in the corporate press denounced the court for supposedly meddling or interfering in the election. “Not since Bush v. Gore have we seen a court that’s had this many opportunities to interfere in the election,” said former Rep. Donna Edwards on MSNBC. NBC News’ Ken Dilanian mused that the 9-0 ruling would “be seen by many people as the court essentially interfering in some sense in the election.”... (more)

Over 77 percent of Texas Republicans agreed with the property tax proposal, as of 11:30 p.m. ET, according to the Texas Secretary of State website.... (more)
