Bold & Blunt: Jimmy Carter’s legacy: He’s not the worst

Ask any American who follows politics to name the worst president in U.S. history and invariably, Jimmy Carter's name comes to mind. But that's not entirely true -- at least, not any more. Joe Biden is much, much, much worse.

Democrats will never change their mo’ money, mo’ money ways

One of the Democratic National Committee's chair hopefuls, James Skoufis, released a four-point plan to secure Dems' power for the long-term, and surprise, surprise, it's all about the money. Leopards cannot change their spots. Democrats learned nothing from their beating in 2024.

Debt enslaves, and that’s why politicians like it so much

One of President Joe Biden's final kiss-offs to the American people is another $4.28 billion in student loan forgiveness, adding to the nearly $180 billion from that same pot he's gifted to almost 5 million borrowers.That, as the nation's debt soared to $36 trillion; the national deficit, to $1.8 trillion.

For weeks now, drones have been spotted making mysterious flights over spots on the East Coast. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says, "We are on it." That's about as comforting as watching President Biden navigate beach sand. Or stairs.

Barack Obama, during remarks delivered before the 2024 Democracy Forum in Chicago, called out the polarized political atmosphere exploited by money-grubbers in the media and said what America really needs to restore "democracy" is a "renewed commitment to pluralist principles."

Democrats go full-blown messianic complex on pardons

But what about the J6 protesters?
