Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) by a 52-48 vote in the Senate. This was accomplished without Gabbard having to call Edward Snowden a traitor. At one point that seemed to be a requirement for confirmation. Of course, Snowden was not a traitor. Snowden was a whistleblower who had seen what happened to other whistleblowers within the NSA. This was why he took the course of action that he took and why he is still in Russia today.
Safetyism is becoming an increasing danger to our fundamental liberties. Safetyism refers to a cultural trend that places an overarching emphasis on physical and emotional safety above all else.

One of the current movements within the country is a growing belief in the idea of school choice. By school choice is meant that education dollars provided by the government should follow the child. This means that if a parent felt that the ABC private school was the best choice for his/her child, the government money would be sent to that school and not to the public school that the child might otherwise attend.
The current blame game going on about the SVB collapse is a diversion. The media has jumped on board to provide a smokescreen so that the public will not see then obvious culprits here.

The editorial team at the Washington Examiner published an opinion lashing out at Joe Biden over the proposed student loan cancellation scheme. Biden this week announced a strategy to take up to $10,000 per student — $20,000 in some cases – and relieve them of the obligation to repay that amount. The cost is estimated to be about $300 billion. This is a little over 1/6 of all student loan debt. This attempt by Biden to buy votes means that the taxpayers will be on the hook for the money.
Joe Biden and the Democrats just gave real Americans the middle finger. In an attempt to buy votes in the upcoming elections, Biden’s handlers had him cancel $10k to $20k in student loan debt for those who have federal government loans.
Additionally, Biden has extended the “COVID emergency payment moratorium” through the end of the year. No one with a federal student loan needs to restart paying until after the midterm election, in 2023.
Economic security is the foundation for national security. How did PDJT get elected in 2016? His views on the American economy, his belief in the American worker set him apart from the crowded Republican primary field in 2016 and propelled him to the forefront. Despite being outspent more than 2 to 1 in the presidential election, Trump prevailed because he was able to communicate this foundational idea on economic security to the public.
Senator Elizabeth “Fauxahontas” Warren (D – Massachusetts) is suddenly very concerned about “dangers to democracy.” The source of her concern? Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
