The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database Tops 1,400
Cases <[link removed]> - The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database now includes 1,412 proven instances of election fraud, and our legal center is monitoring many other ongoing prosecutions. The database <[link removed]>, which provides a sampling of recent election fraud cases, demonstrates the vulnerabilities within the electoral process and the need for reforms to secure
free and fair elections for the American people. Heritage Expert: Hans von Spakovsky <[link removed]>
The Soros Rogue Prosecutor Movement and the Insurance Industry <[link removed]> - The rogue prosecutor movement is failing. Chesa Boudin was recalled because his policies caused death and destruction. George Gascón of Los Angeles was almost recalled last fall because his policies are all pro-criminal and anti-victim. The Baltimore City State’s Attorney, Marilyn Mosby, was voted out of office last year for the same reason. But until each and every one of them loses office, we will be forced to live with the consequences of these rogue and radical policies, and we will all pay the price, one way or the other.

Wokeness Is Slowly Hollowing Out The Fed <[[applewebdata://F898C53B-AB1D-4F41-B0E7-3F0DA1D7D694/Should%20be%20Wokeness%20is%20Slowly%20Hollowing%20Out%20The%20Fed]]> – Are you wondering why checking out at the grocery store these days feels like making a mortgage payment? This week’s four-decade-high inflation is a direct result of the Federal Reserve taking its eye off the ball over the last two years. Instead of focusing on its mandate of keeping prices stable, it has been more concerned with financing massive federal deficits and kowtowing to liberal ideology. But now the Fed chair is claiming just the opposite. Heritage Expert: EJ Antoni <[link removed]>
Planes Fly on Modern IT, Not Green Dreams <[link removed]> -
The NOTAM system is used to inform pilots of adverse conditions which prevent automated landings at their destinations. Pilots are required to read these notices before they take off in order to see if problems exist at final destinations or on the way. For instance, a search in the FAA archives <[link removed]> for NOTAMs for Washington Dulles Airport on Jan. 1, 2023, revealed about 70 notices. This search
engine <[link removed]> is public, although members of the public would likely not be able to understand the abbreviations and interpret the results. Heritage Expert: Diana Furchtgott-Roth <[link removed]>
China is taking lessons from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Taiwan’s foreign minister says <[link removed]> - The war in Ukraine is approaching a year in length with little indication of it ending before spring 2023. While the naval war in the Black Sea has ebbed and flowed, it has always been relegated to the background in favor of the land war. This tendency to neglect the naval war must be resisted, as there are important insights to be had that are relevant to China’s continued ambitions. The Chinese military is certainly studying events there for lessons they can learn for a potential war in Taiwan. Heritage Expert: Brent Sadler <[link removed]>
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs Wants to Turn Back the Clock on School Choice <[link removed]> - Arizona established education savings accounts, which it styles Empowerment Scholarship Accounts, in 2011. With an ESA, parents can use a portion of their child’s state education funds—about $7,000—to pay for private-school tuition, tutoring, textbooks, online courses, home-school curricula, special-needs therapy and other expenses. Last year’s law abolished eligibility limits and made ESAs available to all K-12 students in the state. Ms. Hobbs’s proposed budget would undo the expansion, leaving only around 1 in 4 students eligible. Heritage Expert: Jason Bedrick <[link removed]>
School Choice Would Benefit Rural Students in Texas <[link removed]> - Education savings accounts, or ESAs, let families access state funds to pay for private school tuition, tutoring, textbooks, online courses, special needs therapy and numerous other educational expenses. Nine states have already adopted ESA policies, including four in the last two years. It’s not hard to understand why. Heritage Expert: Jason Bedrick <[link removed]>
Cori Bush exposes the hollowness of the Left's
DEI agenda <[link removed]> - Diversity, according to the Left, is not about bringing people of different races and national backgrounds into the room. It’s about making sure that people with uniformity of views sit at the decision-making table. Black Americans such as Donalds, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, or conservative commentator Candace Owens think for themselves and are thus not needed. Worse, they’re race traitors.

Blake Masters Slams Tucson School District for SPLC Curriculum, Warns About
‘Left-Wing Power Grabs’ in Education <[link removed]> - He warned that the new Democratic governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, is “focused on mandating gender pronouns in schools.” (Hobbs, whose first executive order <[link removed]> bans discrimination on sexual orientation and gender identity in Arizona state agencies, is expected to veto a bill requiring school employees to call a student by pronouns corresponding to their biological sex, unless parents approve transgender pronouns <[link removed]>.)
