Minnesota federal judges coordinated via email threads and templates to handle habeas petitions during Operation Metro Surge, raising judicial ethics questions.
Following President Donald Trump’s freeze on aid to Ukraine and as he prepares to address a joint session of Congress tonight, America finds itself at a hinge point for foreign policy. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s lack of gratitude and grace in the Oval Office on Friday must not derail peace talks that are in the […]
Honda announced Monday that it will produce its new Civic model in Indiana instead of Mexico, as originally planned, likely due to President Donald Trump’s 25% tariff on the country. Manufacturing in Indiana will likely start in late 2027, and Honda expects to produce more than 200,000 vehicles per year in the state. For a […]
The Oval Office blowup last Friday was not some sort of “ambush” or setup. Nor was it a temper tantrum. The deal between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky collapsed amid recriminations because the minerals deal Trump was offering and the implicit security it would provide Ukraine wasn’t what Zelensky came to Washington […]
For the better part of a week, President Donald Trump’s opponents have been misrepresenting what happened in his excruciating Oval Office meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), the senior Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, called the argument a “calculated political ambush” by Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Zelensky. […]
Film blogger Sasha Stone, who rankled Hollywood in recent years by thinking for herself in public, recently captured my feelings for the umpteenth time on X. “There are a lot of people out there like me. We’re strays,” she posted. “We don’t belong in any party and chafe at anyone telling us what we must […]
Why is the United States hitting its biggest customer? President Donald Trump is going ahead with 25% tariffs on all Canadian imports except energy, which will be hit with a 10% tariff. The apparent rationale is imports of fentanyl and illegal immigration. However, this is clearly a pretext as very little of the fentanyl consumed in the U.S. comes from Canada, […]
Desperate to carve out a path to the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has become a podcaster. His obsession with celebrity is exactly the reason he belongs nowhere near the power his current job holds, much less the presidency. Newsom has spent the past several years trying to do anything but his job. That includes his multistate campaign […]
FOR DEMOCRATS, WHAT IS TO BE DONE? Five years ago, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), then the speaker of the House, created one of the most appalling moments in our recent politics. It was Feb. 4, 2020, the night of what would turn out to be the final State of the Union address of President Donald Trump‘s […]
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) has been charting a course as a bit of a maverick among the Democratic Party. But when the chips are down, even he falls in line with the radical fringe of left-wing activists who run the party’s messaging. HBO’s Bill Maher last week coronated Fetterman as the Democratic Party’s answer to […]
The transportation sector has faced unusual turbulence in early 2025. On Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s first day, the worst aviation disaster in decades shook the nation. A series of subsequent aviation accidents and a near miss that took place at Chicago Midway International Airport just last week have put the system under a larger microscope. The Trump team has […]
Since the beginning of our nation’s history, the core obligation of the federal government has been the common defense of the United States. Central to that mission is the readiness, lethality, strength, and warfighting acumen that make up the foundation of American deterrence. To paraphrase the words of former President Ronald Reagan, if peace and […]
Rep. Mike Levin’s (D-CA) grandfather is a hero. The Democratic congressman publicly revealed this information last week in a post on X. Levin’s grandfather fought in World War II, volunteering to risk his life to fight against human civilization’s evilest empires. Unfortunately, Levin made an ill-advised (and illogical) analogy (and virtue signal attempt) about his […]
