Senate leaders and intelligence officials have stressed the need to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Authority (FISA) or else “America will go blind.” “With less than a week until FISA authorities expire, time is a luxury the Senate does not...
Comedy hasn’t exactly been kind to conservatives in recent years. Late-night hosts and “Saturday Night Live” carpet-bomb the GOP with impunity. The number of right-leaning comics could fit in an old-fashioned phone booth. Conservatives have enough to contend with in 2024. Picking fights with comedy outlets must be the very last item on their to-do list. The humor vote is up for grabs, and sour progressives are all but giving it away.
