Only Los Angeles could spend billions fighting homelessness, watch tents swallow sidewalks and parks, and then decide the city has been too aggressive keeping people from camping. That is...
NAACP President Derrick Johnson bashed the Navy Friday following reports that it planned to rename an aircraft carrier, named after a Black WWII war hero, and had considered President Trump's name as a replacement. Johnson wrote in a social media post that the alleged talks surrounding the USS Doris Miller's name are “a slap in...
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) pushed the Trump administration to “consider the negative impact" that engaging in a tariff war with Canada may have on American constituents, straying away from some of her GOP peers. Republican lawmakers were split Saturday after negotiations between Canada and the U.S. fell through, causing the White House to impose a...
President Trump is attempting to block the BBC's efforts to subpoena his family members for the channel's defense in his ongoing $10 million defamation lawsuit. In Saturday court filings, Trump's lawyers wrote that the British broadcaster's attempts to subpoena the president's children — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner — were “cynical” and a...
MOBILE, Alabama — The dread, unspoken but real, starts growing along the Gulf Coast at this time of year. The dread isn’t helped when the first sentence of a New Orleans Times-Picayune story says: “Temperatures off the coast of southeast Louisiana hit bathtub range last week.” High Gulf water temperatures — “the highest sea surface […]
Here’s my synopsis for The Instigators, Apple TV+’s messy straight-to-streamer led by Matt Damon and Casey Affleck: After botching an election-night robbery, two dim-but-affable Boston bros (and one of their shrinks) outrun the police as they bicker like they’re in couples therapy. It’s a heist movie on a psychiatrist’s couch. It’s a parody of a […]
Step 1: Sanitize sexual perversions with euphemistic, even playful, language. Step 2: Bring perfectly normal proclivities under the same linguistic banner, thus blurring any moral lines. I speak, of course, of the word “kink,” a term that has enjoyed explosive popularity in recent years as its usefulness to the Left has increased. During the not-memorably-prudish […]
To accuse former President Donald Trump of being petulant is like accusing a cow of being bovine or a butterfly of being flighty. His toddlerlike self-absorption, for reasons that continue to elude me, does not bother his working-class base. But even his supporters generally recognize that a certain boastful sulkiness is part of his brand. […]
What must David Mamet think of The Decameron, Netflix’s laughless comedy of medieval prurience and plague? In the 1990s, long before his turn as a conservative provocateur, the dramatist was famous in iconoclastic circles for his condemnation of modern acting, with its endless “funny voices.” Yet strained artificiality is the new production’s primary mode, not […]
Timothy W. Ryback, a Dutch historian and the director of the Hague-based Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation, has written numerous excellent books about the Holocaust, including his latest, Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power. Ryback’s 12-month snapshot of a pivotal period in Germany’s descent into totalitarianism carefully and persuasively captures the nuance of what […]
Despite groveling coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris by the liberal press, she still needs to solve an intricate puzzle: how to distance herself from President Joe Biden’s failed and unpopular economic record, all of which she supported, while at the same time not actually changing any underlying policy. So far, she has stalled for […]
The recent heinous rape in Coney Island, where Daniel Davon-Bonilla, a repeat offender who’d previously served time for a similar crime, underscores the grave...
Although Democrats deposed President Joe Biden from the top of their 2024 ticket, installing Vice President Kamala Harris in place of the man who appointed her his second-in-command, the fundamentals of the case for GOP nominee Donald Trump theoretically should not have changed. While replacing the oldest president in history with a comely 59-year-old neutralized […]
By attacking Russia’s Kursk region, Ukraine took advantage of the window of opportunity that’s opened as the United States focuses on its presidential election....
