Was it just a coincidence that Vice President Kamala Harris showed up, fifteen minutes late, to be interviewed by Fox News’s Bret Baier on the same day, Oct. 17, that Nate Silver’s poll aggregation website showed her chances of winning the election slipping below 50%? Probably not.  What may link Harris’s slide in the polls […]

HARRIS, TRUMP, AND TWO PENNSYLVANIA TOWN HALLS. MALVERN, Pennsylvania — Vice President Kamala Harris held a town hall-style event here in southeastern Pennsylvania Monday afternoon. It featured former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, perhaps Harris’s highest-profile GOP supporter. The night before, former President Donald Trump held a town hall of his own in Lancaster, about an hour […]

President Joe Biden is a political afterthought despite being the most powerful man on the planet for the next three months. It will be part of his lasting legacy as a laughingstock. Speaking about former President Donald Trump, Biden told voters in New Hampshire that “we’ve got to lock him up.” Biden clumsily tried to […]

When I was on the fence about having more children, I sometimes would Google photos of families of the size I was considering. When we were considering having a fourth, I would search “families with four kids” and try to picture our lives looking like the photos I’d find online. Recently, a woman told me […]

The left-wing, liberal, and Democratic narrative about former President Donald Trump being a racist is falling apart.  For years, labeling Trump as a racist was an integral part of Democrats’ political strategy. It was never really true, mind you. It was just baseless hyperbolic hysteria that was at the foundation of the Democratic political propaganda […]

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continues to suffer diplomatic and political fallout for accusing India, without solid evidence, of complicity in the murder of Sikh militant Hardeep Singh Nijjar, whose extradition India repeatedly requested. Nijjar immigrated illegally to Canada using a false passport and then used his Canadian perch to establish a terrorist training camp, […]

As a mother of a then-Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology student, I recall conversations with fellow parents about suspicions they long held about the mysterious Thomas Jefferson Partnership Fund. It is a nonprofit organization located inside the high school, seemingly dedicated to raising money for the former No. 1 high school in […]

Near the end of his important new book, The Disappearing of the President: Trump, Truth Social, and the Fight for the Republic, Lee Smith makes an important — and chilling — distinction. What has been happening in the last few years with the attacks on former President Donald Trump has not been a two-tiered system […]

Early voting for the 2024 presidential election is underway, and the numbers have been massive. On its first day of early voting, Georgia had more than 300,000 people cast ballots, shattering previous opening-day records. North Carolina had a record first day as well, topping 350,000.  Should we allow so many people to vote before Election […]

U.S. climate policies, designed to yield a utopia of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by, say, 2050, are preposterous. The costs are massive. Consumer resistance is such that important components of the policy agenda are already collapsing. The metastasizing system of financial regulations imposing penalties upon the fossil energy sector is unlikely to survive judicial scrutiny. […]

Last week, Maryland’s Democratic Party had a meltdown and started gaslighting the public about so-called “extremist” school board candidates running for office across the state, whom they allege want to push a political agenda. And really, how dare school board candidates want to focus on reading proficiency, student test scores, and the budget instead of […]
