“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.” The Wizard of Oz bellowed it right before Toto exposed him. This week, Fox News Digital reported that Neville Roy Singham and his wife, CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, have given more than $47,000 combined to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Ilhan Omar […]
The House Committee on Education and the Workforce’s recent report, “Antisemitism in K-12 Schools,” found that, in the School District of Philadelphia, “employees—from teachers to senior staff—foment antisemitism in the district” and that they “have been responsible for drafting district curricula.” The result it finds is predictable: The SDP’s curricula “promote ideology justifying violent resistance […]
The knives are out for War Secretary Pete Hegseth. There has already been one failed attempt to impeach him, but there will surely be others. He has been taking fire from Republicans and Democrats. He’s being blamed for the Iran war’s impact on the midterm elections. There has been unconfirmed speculation that he may be […]
It says something about how unique this past year in tennis was when one of the sport’s greatest of all time (Serena Williams) can attempt a comeback, and this story still wouldn’t crack the top five of the most interesting things that happened in tennis in 2026. That’s partly due to the fact that Williams […]
I didn’t panic when, after a single day of post-election ebullience, the stock market saw a sweeping, AI-fueled tech sell-off. I didn’t panic when voters across the midterm elections decided, in 40 of 41 local ballot measures, to restrict data center development. Nor did I panic when Anthropic, which originally said it was gunning for […]
I have always detested religious prejudice, whether directed at Methodists, Mormons, Muslims, or anyone else. I don’t know why it bothers me so much. Perhaps it has to do with my own background, Ulster Catholic on one side and Scots Presbyterian on the other, a combination that (trust me on this) gives you an exceptionally […]
Some of the saddest words in American cinema are the last lines of Easy Rider: “We blew it.” The dream of freedom, the moment of opportunity, the hope of beginning again, the promise of revival — all failed, until all that remains is the recognition of failure. Donald Trump was born in the first wave […]
In its first four days on Netflix, I Will Find You drew 24 million views. The eight-episode limited series — starring Sam Worthington as a father convicted of murdering his son, who he learns may still actually be alive — sat at No. 1 on Netflix’s global chart for weeks, and at over 120 million […]
Let me set the scene: a dinner party in Manhattan, the guests mostly conservatives of varying degrees of intensity, and the midterms had just happened. So you can imagine the mood. Every topic arrived at the table already cast in gloom. Somebody’s exotic Christmas holiday plans were delivered in a tone that suggested forced migration. […]
President Donald Trump has already walked back his stated desire to reach a deal with Democrats to give legal status to millions of illegal immigrants. But Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is still pushing Congress to pass what can only be called an amnesty for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients. Before this […]
President Trump this week declared the war in Iran “effectively over” militarily and “won” by the U.S. But he did so as American taxpayers are footing the bill for billions of dollars in operational costs to keep the country’s troops at the ready overseas. The war is no longer making top headlines, and firing between...
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer’s (N.Y.) allies are predicting he will get more than 40 votes in his leadership contest against Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) while slamming the challenge as a “distraction.” That would be an overwhelming majority of the Senate Democratic caucus, which will have at least 55 members and possibly 56 if...
