"Things like the National Anthem are symbols of what keeps us all under one country and something that we all have in common, despite political differences or differences of opinion on certain policy issues. The left’s effort to erase history and rewrite it is really an effort to, develop their own vision of what they believe America was, in order to have their own power and perspective on the way that the future should be."
—Katie Pavlich, Townhall editor and TV commentator

President Biden, the so-called “moderate” president of the United States, rolled out a $2 trillion infrastructure plan that is a Green-New-Deal-level Leftist betrayal of the millions of Americans who voted him into the office under the guise that he was a centrist. The plan seeks to advance “environmental justice,” expand Medicaid and destroy freelance jobs via the PRO Act. In sum, only about a quarter of the plan has to do with “infrastructure” in the traditional sense, similar to how Biden’s COVID-19 “relief” bill had very little to do with fighting the virus.

The Biden administration’s border crisis continues to grow worse, with a record 170,000 migrants—the highest level in 15 years—crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally last month, according to The Washington Post. As this unfolds, the administration continues to avoid addressing its border policies that have fueled the worsening public health, humanitarian, and national security crises. Politico reports that Biden's disjointed federal response "shows that a year into the pandemic, the U.S. still doesn’t have the monitoring and communications systems needed to aggressively combat outbreaks of infectious disease—a necessity for a return to normal life."

In his first address to the State Department in early February, President Biden ambitiously described the need for U.S. leadership to counter what he termed, “this new moment of advancing authoritarianism” around the world. And yet, even while decrying “advancing authoritarianism,” the Biden administration engages in a diplomatic tango with the mullahs who lead the Islamic Republic.

False reports of child abuse and neglect (whether malicious or not) are a real problem.

Most parents want their kids to learn the basics—reading, writing, arithmetic, as the saying goes, and want politics left off school grounds. Of course, believing kids should get a traditional and politics-free education doesn’t mean current events can’t be discussed in the classroom.
