Ramaswamy on Feb. 21 announced his bid for the 2024 GOP nomination, joining a race that already features former President Donald Trump and former U.S. 'CEO' OF ANTI-WOKE INC.' VIVEK RAMASWAMY EXPLORING 2024 BID: REPORTRamaswamy, 37, is a multimillionaire entrepreneur with successful ventures in biotech and other realms. President Joe Biden’s efforts to rejigger the 2024 Democratic primary campaign calendar are meant to prevent a serious intraparty rival from emerging. Now it has another headache, with Democratic primary challenger Marianne Williamson set to jump into the presidential fray on March 4. In the crowded 2020 Democratic primary field, Williamson made it to a couple of debate stages but failed to pick up traction, dropping out on Jan. 10.

Bill Maher is right: Policies, not the pandemic, hurt children's development

Liberal comedian Bill Maher just sounded off against the Left’s failed authoritarian lockdown policies on his show Real Time with Bill Maher. Alongside Sirius XM talk show host Michael Smerconish and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Maher discussed the "collateral damage" of COVID-19 policies and reacted to the notion that "the pandemic erased two decades of progress in math and reading." WATCH: BILL MAHER CLAIMS 'THE WAY WE HANDLED THE PANDEMIC' CAUSED COLLATERAL DAMAGE"This pisses me off," Maher said. Sending these students into the workforce in an economy broken by leftist lockdown policies is a recipe for disaster. pic.twitter.com/ECw649U7do — Bill Maher (@billmaher) October 18, 2022The Washington Examiner previously reported on a 2022 Johns Hopkins University study that concurs with Maher's position.

Cybersecurity would be top priority if House GOP wins midterm elections, lawmaker says

After the Nov. 8 midterm elections, it’s possible that Republicans will take control of both the House and the Senate. In the Senate, cybersecurity legislation often goes through the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee or the cybersecurity subcommittee of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) would likely become the chairwoman of the cybersecurity subcommittee in a GOP majority. In the House, cybersecurity bills often originate in the cybersecurity subcommittee of the Homeland Security Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee. Garbarino would likely become the chairman of the cybersecurity subcommittee in a Republican-majority House.

Democrats will pay for Biden's OPEC debacle

Gas prices currently sit at $3.92 per gallon — more than $1.50 higher than when Biden first took office. And according to a recent Rasmussen poll, 86% of likely U.S. voters are concerned about high gas prices. So yes, Democrats are irrevocably tied to Biden’s radical environmentalist agenda that puts America at the mercy of foreign countries. They also put their faith in the wrong man to beg: OPEC and Saudi Arabia rebuffed Biden’s requests. High gas prices were always the point of Democrats’ plan to “transition.”They’ll pay for it in November.

Nevada ground zero for GOP efforts to court Latino voters and win Senate majority

But that same polling also shows Republicans are poised to substantially cut into the Democrats’ advantage with Latino voters, improving their chances of winning seats in districts and states where they have struggled for years. “Where traditionally Republicans came in late in the game, we started from Day 1 to build the Latino coalition,” said Republican operative Jesus Marquez, who runs Latino outreach for Laxalt. Through "Operation Vamos," the Senate GOP campaign arm says it has contacted more than 250,000 Latino voters in Nevada and more than 1.4 million total across the country in states with competitive races. The NRSC's special effort to court Latino voters also has focused on gathering data and polling to help individual GOP campaigns appeal to this voting bloc. This effort, the union said, would reach “more than half” of all Latino voters in Nevada, beginning this past Saturday through Election Day.

Hunter Biden's Chinese business assistant posed 'national security threat' to president's family: House GOP

The Washington Examiner's laptop review shows dozens of communications between Bao and Hunter Biden related to CEFC. Hunter Biden struck a $1 million legal retainer agreement with Ho following his arrest. CEFC ended up funneling millions of dollars to Hunter Biden-linked businesses despite many of the business ventures with Hunter Biden falling apart. I think you're clear.”Bao sent a Dec. 18, 2018, text message to Hunter Biden, saying, “Uncle Joe should run for President in 2020. She produced yearly reports and business plans for Hudson West III, the joint venture Hunter Biden created with the Chinese firm,” the Republican said.

White House 'watching' Saudi Arabia's next steps as Biden mulls response for oil cut

And it flew in the face of the president's expectation that a controversial visit to Saudi Arabia this summer would lead the kingdom to boost production. Yet Biden’s press secretary suggested Tuesday that Saudi Arabia had taken steps to garner the White House’s approval as the president mulls his response. “We’re watching to see what Saudi Arabia does over the coming weeks,” she added. DEMOCRATS URGE RETRIBUTION AS BIDEN 'HUMILIATED' BY SAUDI-LED OIL CUTWhen Biden delivered remarks on energy security last week, the president did not invoke Saudi Arabia and blamed rising prices on oil refiners and Putin. White House officials have lately downplayed OPEC’s decision to slash oil production by 2 million barrels per day, noting that the number of actual barrels may be closer to 500,000.

The Democrats rely on trickery

Democrat John Fetterman’s sad, stumbling debate performance against Republican Mehmet Oz underlined the fact that his party seeks victory with trickery. Neil Young once said a song of his “starts out slow and then fizzles out altogether.” Fetterman knows the feeling. One false pretense about Fetterman is that he’s fit for “the world’s greatest deliberative body.” For this, Democrats rely on a bald assertion from a campaign donor who is also the candidate's doctor. Another pretense is that Fetterman supports fracking, vital to Pennsylvania’s economy, when he repeatedly condemns it and the energy industry it supports. Democrats know that their policies are unconvincing when laid out clearly, so their path to victory is strewn with secrets, conjuring tricks, sleight of hand, and misdirection.
