Woke 1 may have been crazy, but Woke 2 is shaping up to be even crazier. Last week, at its summer meeting in Austin, Texas, the Democratic National Committee’s Resolutions Committee approved a resolution calling on Democrats in Congress to draft legislation that would “abolish” Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Previous versions had called only for […]
DSA-endorsed Oliver Larkin challenges Rep. Jared Moskowitz in Florida's 25th District primary as the Democratic Party's left-center civil war heats up.
Absurdly and inexcusably, votes are still being counted even though polls closed more than a month ago, on Nov. 5. You’d think a developed country such as ours, which sees itself as a beacon of democracy, could get Election Day right. But, no, we make a hash of it every time. We’ve escaped chaos now […]
A new kind of tennis sport is slowly breaking out across the country. Created by tennis coach Nate Gross, “Spec Tennis” aims to find a midway point between the increasingly popular pickleball sport and conventional tennis. “I came up with Spec Tennis in 2016,” Gross explained to the Washington Examiner, “when I was looking for […]
HENDERSONVILLE, North Carolina — Two months to the day after the remains of Hurricane Helene brought unprecedented devastation into the mountains of North Carolina, the remarkable damage is still plain to see. So, too, though, is the good old American pluck. On a steep curve a few miles up Finley Cove Road, to the west […]
It is an all-too-familiar story: A president is pursued by his political enemies who target his family and use deep-state actors to engage in lawfare. That was the narrative last week, but it was not coming from President-elect Donald Trump. The victim of what the White House press secretary called “war politics” is none other […]
President-elect Donald Trump, no laissez-faire Republican, likes to use the government to steer the ship of the economy, punishing what he sees as bad behavior and rewarding behavior he likes. Trump’s fondness for economic intervention and rejection of any consistent policy framework may be annoying for CEOs, but it’s gold for the lobbyists who are […]
A healthy majority of unmarried adults, 55% according to the exit polls, voted for Vice President Kamala Harris. You need to slice this more finely, though, because Harris and President-elect Donald Trump tied among unmarried men. Harris won 61% to 38% among unmarried women. To get even more specific, among young single women, Harris won […]
The electorate voted overwhelmingly in support of taking the federal government in a new direction last month, but thanks to the undemocratic power of government unions, the new administration will be limited in its ability to deliver more efficient services for citizens. In a last-second move designed to thwart the will of the voters, Social […]
If nothing else, this week's Supreme Court hearing on Tennessee’s ban on sex-reassignment procedures for minors exposed the utter unreality of the pro-child-mutilation gang.
How is the Chicago Teachers Union working to resurrect Chicago’s failing schools? Is it allowing parents more freedom to move their children out of failing schools, or holding underperforming schools and teachers accountable? No? It’s voting on an arms embargo against Israel? Sure, I guess that will help little Timmy reach proficiency in math and […]
In the autumn I started classes at the Princeton Theological Seminary. It’s a late-in-life transition from my work as a television writer and producer to graduate student in theology. At some point, if I’m diligent in my studies, I may become an ordained Episcopal priest and a television writer and producer, which will allow me […]
Imagine the media firestorm if students at a Liberty University football game chanted, “F–k the Muslim,” at a Muslim player on the other team or if students at a Baylor University football game chanted, “F–k the Jew,” at a Jewish player on the other team. There would be a national media outrage condemning the school […]
At one point, Joan Didion was a writer, known for her books and essays, which people read and liked — or didn’t. There was The White Album, which everyone read, and A Year of Magical Thinking, which everyone bought, and an assorted many other titles that everybody claimed to know but probably didn’t. At her […]
