James Comer (R-KY), forced the vote but were turned away by the committee's 23 Democrats. "Oversight Republicans’ ongoing investigation has revealed the Biden family has peddled ... read more

Russia's attempt to mobilize troops leads to mass resistanceISW: The Kremlin’s heavy-handed approach to partial mobilization may successfully meet the Kremlin’s internal quota of mobilized personnel but is unlikely to generate effective soldiers and is prompting significant domestic backlash for little gain. Russian authorities are forcibly recruiting Russian citizens to fight in Ukraine on flimsy pretexts, violating the Kremlin’s promise to recruit only those with military experience. Russian authorities are also demonstrably mobilizing personnel (such as protesters) who will enter the war in Ukraine with abysmal morale. The Kremlin's h... read more

Bail reform leads to more crimeCity-Journal: On Wednesday, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) quietly dropped a bombshell. For months, the state has avoided releasing much-needed data on individuals who were arraigned in New York before lawmakers passed bail reform. But newly available data confirm what critics have long argued: bail reform was followed by a significant increase in criminal reoffending. ... There’s a lot to these tables, but the basic takeaway is that rearrest rose after bail reform.... ... It should have seemed obvious that this would be the case. One of the re... read more

It was a natural fit. Most, like Washington, D.C., and New York, were on record as sanctuary city jurisdictions. In the abstract, they endorse open borders and celebrate diversity -- from the serenity of thousands of miles away. The uproar at Martha's Vineyard prompted the Democratic hierarchy to do some e... read more

Gascon ran on a platform of holding police officers criminally responsible for abuses and has enacted a policy that assumes officers in all police shootings are guilty and, therefore, that the... read more
