Resignations have surpassed terminations and layoffs as the leading source of staff turnover in recent years. Under the guise of “shared responsibility” and the Biden administration’s welcoming attitude toward Venezuelan immigration, Colombia has petitioned the United States to protect its people living in the country illegally from deportation. U.S. Ambassador Luis Gilberto Murillo Urrutia recently voiced worry to the U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security about Colombia’s role as a transit nation for migrants, despite the country’s “tremendous graciousness” in housing over 2 million Venezuelan asylum applicants. Since migration “is a regional issue that should be handled under the…

The incoming Republican majority plans to investigate the committee’s work, as indicated by a letter from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to Committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) on January 6. It has been stated by the Republican leader that “entire swaths of findings will be left out of the Committee’s final report.” To ensure “not just institutional prerogatives but transparency to the American people,” McCarthy wrote to Thompson that all data must be kept secure. The transcripts should be made public so that the American people can judge for themselves whether or not the evidence you’ve presented backs up…
Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger has remarked that Disney was “dragged” into the political struggle in Florida over the “Parental Rights in Education” bill, to which Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has responded. DeSantis made these comments during an interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night. Carlson set the mood by playing a video of Iger, who had recently returned as Disney’s CEO after Bob Chapek’s tumultuous stint, offering an apology for the company’s part in the conflict. What this means for the company is something I need help grasping at the moment. At a recent company-wide…

The Senate Agriculture Committee discussed the recent closure of the FTX bitcoin exchange on Thursday. Sam Bankman-Fried, the company’s former chief executive officer, has been accused of meeting with a crucial regulator too frequently. It has been theorized that Bankman-ex-lover Fried’s Caroline Ellison had a role in the recent bankruptcy filing of FTX by using client funds from FTX to execute trades at her trading business.

Worried parents have sued the Ohio Bethel City School District over its policy of allowing transgender children to use the locker rooms and toilets that correspond with their gender identification rather than their biological sex. The lawsuit states that this restricts some children’s access to the school’s facilities. Many Christian and Muslim parents have raised concerns that the program is violating their constitutional and legal rights. The Supreme Court has regularly upheld parents’ rights to make choices about their children’s health care, religious upbringing, and formal schooling. According to the lawsuit, the Board “refuses to answer important questions parents need…
If the Title 42 legal barrier were to be removed in late December, as reported by CNN, the border agency run by President Joe Biden would be flooded with between 9,000 and 14,000 economic migrants daily.

During Wednesday’s press conference, reporters asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre whether the Biden administration would try to shut down Twitter over the content it doesn’t “like.” Would you shut down Twitter if you saw anything you didn’t like after saying you’d be monitoring some of the speech on the platform? Asked Doocy. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Peter. We avidly follow the news like everyone else. We read every article you guys put out, and Twitter gets a lot of coverage. Because of this, that is the focus of our attention. We’re keeping an…
The story of liberals being devastated by Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has taken another unexpected turn. When I say “surprising,” I’m referring to something so essential that its absurdity comes as a complete surprise. Alyssa Milano, a Hollywood actress, says she will keep her account on the social media platform despite being called out for virtue-signaling when she turned in her Tesla to protest Musk’s purchase of the company. Milano said that she had sold her Tesla and purchased an electric Volkswagen. A publicly traded company should not use a business strategy that encourages “hate and racial superiority,” she…

Donating blood requires potential homosexual and bisexual male donors to fill out a risk assessment form. The Food and Drug Administration has not finalized the new questionnaire or associated guidelines. Donor candidates will probably be questioned about their sexual history within the prior…

In a recent survey, the Reagan National Defense Forum (RNDF) found that respondents were either very concerned or somewhat concerned about a wide range of threats that could lead to economic hardship or disparity for Americans, including thermonuclear war, terrorist attacks on…
On Wednesday, the House Democrats elected Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), who has often labeled conservatives as racists, to replace Nancy Pelosi, who had headed the party for decades and served as speaker while her party was in the majority. Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) responded to Jeffries’ radical rhetoric by saying, “If this isn’t proof that the Democrat Party has entirely gone from American ideals of neutrally applied justice and the right of self-defense, then I don’t know what is.” Among many such examples, consider Jeffries’ statement that we should “Lock him up and toss away the key” about Kyle Rittenhouse. In…
There will either be a major revelation about Donald Trump’s tax returns or a great, deafening quiet that would stop numerous negative articles and rumors regarding the former president’s alleged improper behavior. The media and the Democratic Party have been fixated for months on Trump’s tax returns, which the Democrats have now obtained. To liberals’ minds, these bank records must include evidence of criminal behavior. Trump has resisted court pressure to reveal these documents with vigor, but his final ditch effort at the Supreme Court level failed (via NBC News): After a lengthy legal battle, a House committee chaired by…
