A Jewish family was kicked out of Jerusalem Coffee House in Oakland, California, on Saturday. Their crime? Husband Jonathan Hirsch wore a hat emblazoned with the Star of David. In an infuriating video shared on X by the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Bay Area, a man who purports to be the Jerusalem Coffee House’s owner asks Hirsch […]
For many voters, “protecting democracy” is a key issue in the 2024 elections, and, of course, rhetoric and accusations are flying regarding who the actual threat to democracy is. In light of at times misleading rhetoric, it is important to examine actual facts. There is one public official nationally who has been criticized by no fewer […]
In 1928, the Democratic Party became the first major party to nominate a Catholic as its presidential candidate when it chose New York Gov. Al Smith. The nomination touched off a wave of anti-Catholic hysteria, which became the defining problem of the election. Prominent leaders across the mostly Protestant nation warned that if Smith were […]
The record surge in illegal immigration during the Biden-Harris administration, its consequences and costs, and what to do about it are all major issues in this year’s election. Recent polling suggests addressing immigration is voters’ second biggest priority, right after inflation and ahead of the economy. Yet Vice President Kamala Harris’s “policy book” doesn’t even […]
Watch out — the democracy defenders are at it again. Twenty years ago, the Cheneys, the Bushes, Nancy Pelosi, James Clapper, Tom Friedman, Anne Applebaum, Jeffrey Goldberg, and an army of other politicians, commentators, and bureaucrats deputized themselves as the defenders of democracy itself. Defending democracy back then meant launching a disastrous preemptive regime change […]
There’s a preposterous idea circulating in the chattering class of late: that Vice President Kamala Harris is being held to an unfairly high standard because of her race and gender. Of course, we all know why this is suddenly on every pair of liberal lips. With news that Harris is losing the race for the […]
For all its erratic twists, including regicide of a sitting president by Democratic bosses, one thing has been consistent and clear in this election. It is that men and women are now divided into hostile camps. The race stayed tight because Democrats’ popularity among women matched the party’s alienation of men. A USA Today-Suffolk University […]
During his two previous presidential campaigns and one term as president, Donald Trump was routinely accused by the national security “clerisy” of violating the norms of U.S. civil-military relations, especially those related to the political neutrality of the military. Of course, those norms had been eroding for some time, and much of the blame can […]
As an OB-GYN, I delivered a baby a day for more than 25 years. I never would have imagined I would have to fight harder to save children as a U.S. senator in the halls of Congress than I did in the delivery room. Democratic leaders, including their presidential candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, push […]
The huge four-column headline on the front page of the Wall Street Journal on Saturday was ominous and insinuating: “Musk Held Secret Discussions With Putin Since Late 2020.” Secret! This supposed exposé, published just 10 days before the election, seeks to tie Musk, now an ardent campaigner for former President Donald Trump, to Russian President […]
Pennsylvania may be the deciding state in the 2024 election. But what issues will decide whether former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris carries the Keystone State? Election onlookers should focus in on three key themes heading into the final stretch: energy, education, and voter enthusiasm. Energy is easily one of the biggest […]
While Vice President Kamala Harris champions green energy, the current administration’s preferential treatment of companies such as South Korea’s Hanwha QCells, despite ties to slave labor, raises serious questions about the sincerity of additional commitments to human rights. For many consumers, installing rooftop solar that generates enough surplus power to sell back to the grid […]
Maybe the folks in Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign actually believe that a significant number of women are afraid to vote Democratic because somehow their husbands will find out and punish them. That’s the literal interpretation of Harris’s 11th-hour ad. It features two women sneakily voting for Harris and one lying to her husband about […]
California has fallen on hard times, wrestling with nationwide highs for the price of anything — from gas to homes to energy. Worry not though, struggling Californians: Hollywood is getting more tax credits. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), alongside Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, is fighting to more than double California’s Film & Television Tax Credit […]
