1979—Taking advantage of its (and the House’s) massive increase in the number of judgeships a year earlier, the Democrat-controlled Senate confirms on a single day 25 of…
Former President Donald Trump deludes himself that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin basically wants to forge a mutually beneficial compromise between the United States and Russia. Vice President Kamala Harris deludes herself that strengthening NATO is compatible with a continued tolerance of European defense freeloading. Both these delusions matter because Russia is an ardent enemy of […]
No matter who wins the presidency, a significant Republican majority in the Senate will be the best safeguard for our constitutional system. The explanation for this systemic imperative is a bit complicated, so first, let’s understand the lay of the land. Toward that end, from among a number of excellent Republican challengers for Democratic-held Senate […]
Our 2016 team consisted of exactly zero professional politicos, but Donald Trump was offering the kind of leadership Americans were craving — and he...
Vice President Kamala Harris has run a cowardly campaign focused on deceiving and misleading voters. She should not be rewarded for it with the presidency. Harris’s campaign has been cowardly from the moment it was launched late in the election cycle. Harris’s campaign began earnestly on July 21, when President Joe Biden announced he was […]
Again, the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., has tried and failed to equate abortion with suffrage. The annual march, held first in 2017 as a counter to former President Donald Trump’s inauguration, showed heightened tension a few days ahead of an even more tense Election Day. Abortion has been framed as a human right for […]
It’s hard to be an economist and, at the same time, be a Democrat. The reason? Most left-leaning Democrats reject the main teachings of economics. Yet more than 80% of academic economists are Democrats. For every Republican economist on college faculties, there are 4.5 Democrats. Consider just a few of the ways in which what economists […]
Win or lose on Tuesday, Sen. J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) willingness to engage in contentious in-depth policy discussions, and the skill with which he has explained the conservative position, has been a public service. There was no finer example of Vance’s effective debating than his exchange with New York Times podcaster Lulu Garcia-Navarro on the economic […]
When it comes to climate matters, Vice President Kamala Harris has been playing a centrist on the campaign trail. However, while her campaign is now feigning support for fossil fuels, its recent hiring of Camila Thorndike as climate engagement director revealed Harris’s plans for climate policy are anything but reasonable. Thorndike, a former staffer for […]
Can you believe it? Tuesday is the most important Election Day in decades. The polls say it is a dead heat, but other signs point to a win for former President Donald Trump. As hopeful as I feel about the chances that Trump will win this election, and even take the House and Senate along […]
Leading up to Tuesday’s election, the presidential campaigns have been visibly courting the bro vote, with former President Donald Trump appearing on prankster podcasts and Vice President Kamala Harris, well, sending former President Barack Obama out to call black men sexist. And while this flirtation might be the hot new thing, the long-standing courtship lies with women. (You can buy all […]
Congress enacted Title IX in 1972 to prohibit sex-based discrimination in education. This legislation is crucial for ensuring that female students have equal access to opportunities on campus, athletic and otherwise. As a former NCAA Division I swimmer, I recognize that the privilege I worked incredibly hard for was only made possible through Title IX. […]
