The vicious wave of antisemitism sweeping through the world is terrifying and imperiling Jews, Israel, and others who support free and tolerant societies and the existence of a safe and secure Jewish state. Confronting this evil has been and will continue to be difficult, costly, and painful. History, however, emphatically indicates that we can and […]
Last week on the subway, I saw a man crouch down over an empty seat, proceeding to urinate — and possibly defecate. His behavior and ostensible intoxication were so extreme that it is possible that he mistook the subway seat for a toilet seat. It was a first for me. It gave me pause to […]
When the next cyberattack hits a Fortune 500 company, or ransomware locks the files of a regional hospital system, which artificial intelligence tools will information technology experts use to ward off attackers? Against these threats, coders are increasingly ditching frontier AI large language models in favor of open models without guardrails. This matters because powerful […]
Socialism is fashionable again. We should stop pretending that is harmless. You do not have to be a Republican to oppose socialism. You do not have to support President Donald Trump, defend every corporation, or believe every outcome produced by a market is just. You only have to take socialists seriously when they tell us […]
For the first time in my lifetime, the WNBA is culturally relevant. Not because of how skilled the athletes are, but because of how polarizing it has become in the age of Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham. In the process, left-wing narratives about race and gender are unraveling before our eyes. The conversation surrounding the […]
It is not a stretch to say that certain circles of the dating world have become cesspools of narcissists, hedonists, and kids who weren’t spanked enough by their parents. Because of this, many disillusioned daters are becoming so-called “heteropessimists.” In an article in the Atlantic, titled “The great romance slump,” writer Faith Hill describes the […]
For a powerful congresswoman and presidential hopeful, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is sure talking a lot about marriage and parenthood. This may be progress. While the old guard of her party — think Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer — put family front and center, the next generation of the party’s leaders has been […]
With the clock ticking toward the Nov. 3 midterm elections, Republicans face deep voter concerns about President Donald Trump‘s seeming indifference to affordability issues. The perception exists even though sustained price hikes occurred between his nonconsecutive terms — a key reason voters returned him to the White House. The good news is that there is […]
What do you call it when a college-educated married woman has a baby, and, bolstered by her husband’s income, she leaves her job to spend time raising the baby? If you’re the financial press or a liberal academic, you call this a “troubling employment trend,” you lament it as a “sign of the Trump times,” and […]
Every time we walk into a clinic or hospital, an invisible tax is added to our bill. It has nothing to do with the quality of our medicine, the skill of our surgeon, or the comfort of our room. Instead, it is the direct cost of a broken legal system. The U.S. medical malpractice framework […]
When I was younger, I was told, “Once it’s on the internet, it’s there forever.” This useful saying is followed by some but haphazardly discarded by others. A notorious trope is that politicians are always in public relations rehab thanks to past online statements, and that has never been truer for the new wave of […]
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recently announced that she had frozen her eggs at the age of 36. Predictably, the announcement drew the ridicule that increasingly substitutes for political argument. Some critics brandished the dreary clinical phrase “geriatric pregnancy.” Their purpose was less to acknowledge the difficulties she may face than to make her desire for […]
