President Trump says importing more Argentine beef will lower prices, but ranchers argue the real problem isn’t supply, it’s the corporate giants controlling America’s meat industry.
The Trump administration is urging Democrats to “stop siding with illegal aliens" after a Los Angeles activist rammed ICE agents in attempts to escape arrest, prompting agents to open fire.
For anyone in doubt, I can report that the White House is still standing. To be precise, the original mansion, completed in 1800, the final year of John Adams’s presidency, remains where it always has been (with its interior installed by President Harry Truman between 1949 and 1951). The East Wing added by President Theodore […]
On Oct. 14, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether the use of race to gerrymander voting districts, pursuant to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, is constitutional. The cases, which originated in Louisiana, returned to the court after arguments in March and additional briefing over its summer recess. As widely reported, the court appears likely to […]
America’s economic rebound despite tariffs during the second quarter is not a mystery — it was all dependent on artificial intelligence and data center construction. Real GDP grew at a brisk 3.8% annualized in Q2 2025 and is expected to grow at least 2.5% in Q3 (almost 4% again according to Atlanta’s GDP Now), but the […]
“Only monsters play God.” This is the tagline of Guillermo del Toro’s new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The film, which stars Oscar Isaac as the titular egotistical scientist and Jacob Elordi as the creature he creates, was released to limited theaters on Oct. 17 and will hit Netflix on Nov. 7. The tagline signals […]
My daughter is a teenager, so naturally she likes Starbucks (“Starbys,” if you speak Generation Z). We go out for “coffee” a lot, partly because it’s a convenient way for fathers to get their 14-year-old daughters to spend time with them. I put “coffee” in quotes because Bret usually orders some lemonade concoction, while I stick with […]
The Democrats’ government shutdown ransom, the permanent extension of former President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 health insurance bonus subsidies, was always farcically untethered to the party’s core complaint about President Donald Trump. If Trump is acting like a dictator in unprecedented ways that undermine the future of democracy, how does shoveling hundreds of billions of taxpayer […]
Hawaii occupies a strange place in the consciousness of most Americans. For most of us, it’s a vacation spot. A tropical island paradise with idyllic beaches, majestic waves, and towering volcanoes. But Hawaii’s history is also one that is completely different from the 49 mainland states. It is one of only two states that, as […]
No one cares more about illegal immigrants than California Democrats, who continue to find new privileges to grant them while giving California‘s legal residents the bill. Earlier this month, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill 1303, which strips the requirement for people to enter their Social Security numbers to enroll in the California LifeLine […]
If you were born in the late 1930s, the chances of you declaring yourself to be what we call “transgender” or “nonbinary” as an adult were almost zero. For the next 60 years, that number hovered around 0.4%, despite dramatic changes in sexual equality and sexual morality. This number rose suddenly after 2008, when the cohort born […]
