Lame-Duck Biden Admin Fails to Take 2024 Election to Heart |
by Joshua Arnold |
The Biden administration's offshore oil ban is part of a larger strategy to "Trump-proof" the federal government before Trump assumes office in two weeks. The strategy involves erecting as many administrative and personnel barriers as possible to Trump's declared objectives, from economic tourniquets in the name of environmentalism to filling agency employment before Trump attempts to clean house. But this strategy demonstrates that the Biden administration learned nothing from the 2024 election. |

Flurry of Business Kicks Off on Snow-Covered Capitol Hill |
by Suzanne Bowdey |
Long before the D.C. mayor declared a state of emergency, Republicans were already dealing with one of their own. Friday's cliffhanger vote for Mike Johnson (R-La.) as House speaker may have happened before the snow, but it previewed the kind of storm GOP leaders face as they try to lead the chamber with the narrowest majority in 100 years. For the incoming president and his aggressive agenda, it's shaping up to be tough sledding - and not just because of the weather. |

PERKINS: A Terror Attack Wake-Up Call for America |
by Tony Perkins |
When radical Middle Eastern terrorists flew American planes into American buildings killing Americans, we responded by going after them in their holes, in their hideouts in Afghanistan and Iraq - in part of what was then known as the Global War on Terror. But what do we do when a radicalized American drives an American truck onto an American sidewalk and kills Americans? |

Report: China's Hackers Could Bring Down U.S. Infrastructure 'at Will' |
by Dan Hart |
In the wake of an unprecedented breach of U.S. Treasury Department workstations by Chinese state-sponsored hackers last week, a new report has revealed that the Biden administration quietly acknowledged over a year ago that hackers sponsored by the communist regime have the ability to shut down U.S. infrastructure such as ports and power grids "at will." |

Federal Grants Funded Singing 'Bearded Ladies' Ice-Skating Show for Children: Rand Paul's Report |
by Ben Johnson |
As the Biden-Harris administration prepares to fade into a national memory, it has authorized massive government spending most Americans would find offensive - including $10,000 for a troupe of singing drag queens to put on an innuendo-laden ice-skating show promoting climate change ideology. Additional federal grants are supporting the censorship of conservatives, the torture of cats, and the promotion of race-based programs. |

Able and Valuable: A Bipartisan Approach |
by Chuck Donovan |
In this time of bitterness and provocation, a handful of legislative proposals exist that can command bipartisan support. One of these was introduced on December 4 by Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (R-Wash.), a 20-year member of Congress who has chosen to end her time in national office by strengthening legislation to which she has devoted years of concern. The proposed ABLE Tomorrow Act is the latest in a string of measures designed to allow disabled Americans to create and invest in tax-favored 529 accounts. |

UConn Med School Recruits Trans-Identifying Individuals as Practice Patients |
by Joshua Arnold |
The University of Connecticut Medical School has recruited people who identify as transgender to act as practice patients this month. Conducted explicitly for social conditioning, the experiment reads like something out of the Objective Room in C.S. Lewis's dystopian science-fiction novel, "That Hideous Strength," where inductees into a secret society had to endure deliberately bizarre sensory inputs to eliminate their human reactions. |
