California liberals want to overhaul the Supreme Court. But it’s conservatives who keep coming to their rescue

California Democrats should thank the conservative Supreme Court. It’s the only reason they can still govern anything at all.

Will Trump’s final two years bring gridlock or deal-making?

In a post-midterm election interview with Ross Douthat of 60 Minutes, President Donald Trump handed allies and critics alike a startling admission: His administration’s immigration enforcement had proven “too tough” and cost Republicans at the polls. The president then opened the door to a possible deal with Democrats on amnesty for long-term undocumented workers. The […]

Colorado Democrats plot to overturn the will of their voters

The Democratic Party will ramble on about the sanctity of democracy in one breath and insist in the next that it must overturn any result it dislikes. Such is the case in Colorado, where Democrats are already planning to shred ballot propositions voters just passed. Last week, Colorado voters passed several propositions that run counter […]

‘Islamophobia’ lie gains post-midterm momentum

Democrats are pressing legislation that would make New Jersey the first state in the nation to define “Islamophobia” for use in criminal prosecutions and civil trials. The proposal is an abomination that, despite its protestations to the contrary, would erode citizens’ free speech rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution. It defines “Islamophobia” as, […]

An ode to Harmeet Dhillon

One of the Trump administration’s most valuable and assiduous officials tendered her resignation on Thursday. Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, announced her departure moments before speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference at Mar-a-Lago. It is unquestionably a terrible loss for the Trump administration, the Make America Great […]

Wooing Trump and needling Vance, Hegseth eyes 2028

Defending himself against Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) impeachment effort on Tuesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth cast himself as a devoted servant of President Donald Trump. In a press conference at the Pentagon, his first since May, Hegseth also underlined his interest in running for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination. Massie’s impeachment drive is plainly […]

Take a pause, think back on Reagan

The latest midterm debacle is humiliating for the Republican Party, and the question now is how to rebound. Staying on the road of the past two years is plainly what led to the defeat. But adjust to what, and toward where? The party need not search far. About 40 years ago, President Ronald Reagan set […]

Faddishness is killing the humanities

Doctoral students are writing more about power and identity than beauty and tradition. This trend is killing the humanities. A new study from the American Academy of Sciences and Letters has analyzed humanities and social science dissertations at U.S. universities over the last 65 years. Dissertations shed light on the norms, language, and concepts that […]

The voters have spoken. But what did they say?

Every two years, Washington’s pundit class rushes to declare what an election “really meant” before the ink on the ballots is even dry. This time, the partisan spin is already in overdrive. Democrats are claiming a sweeping ideological mandate, while Republicans are hunting for scapegoats. Both sides are missing the bigger picture. If you actually […]

Israel’s cybersecurity firms protect everyone — including antisemites

The same antisemites condemning the state of Israel instead ought to be thanking the Jewish state for keeping them, their banks, their credit card issuers, and everyone they’ve ever known safe from cyberattacks. As the multibillion-dollar North Korean hacking of Binance makes clear, in cyberspace, no one is safe. Individuals, terrorist groups, criminal gangs, and […]

An early ‘Rubio 2028’ poll bounce

In our recent column on the feverish 2028 maneuvering already underway behind the scenes, we name-checked three potential GOP hopefuls. Vice President JD Vance has long been considered the favorite in a hypothetical primary field. We also mentioned Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL). Public opinion will ebb and flow in […]

The Israeli soldiers who died as Gaza’s lifeguards

The world, especially the left-wing part of it, is wailing and gnashing its teeth at the fact that 74,389 Palestinians have been killed since Oct. 8, 2023, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, which never lies and, therefore, can be fully trusted. This organization does not offer a breakdown between civilian and military deaths. […]

Ukraine handed the West a list of 500,000 Russian soldiers. Washington hasn’t read it

Ukraine has shared the identities of more than half a million Russian soldiers with its European partners. After almost a year, fewer than 1% of those names have been entered into the Schengen Information System, the database border guards across Europe check before letting travelers in, Euronews reported last week. Europe’s failure is at least […]
