President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. and China have "made great strides" after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House.
I usually find the slogan used by some conservatives that “the Democrats are the real racists” because of the Democratic Party‘s historic support for slavery and segregation to be vapid and intellectually lazy. But it does have relevance to a recent talking point that has become increasingly prevalent among liberal elites eager to defend the […]
An English judge this week sentenced a woman who posted a hateful message on X to two years and seven months in prison. Lucy Connolly has no previous convictions. The same judge allowed a habitual child pornography offender to walk free from court without any prison time in 2021. This situation underlines two concerns. First, […]
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — One of the biggest questions on the minds of everyone following the presidential and U.S. Senate races in Pennsylvania is always a fairly simple, “How’s it going?” No matter who is asking — a Democrat, Republican, reporter, or cable news producer — most people believe Pennsylvania will decide who the next president […]
Russia and North Korea, two neighbors that have had a prickly relationship in the past, are now experiencing a boon in their bilateral ties. Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un have exchanged visits, signed a strategic cooperation agreement that U.S. officials described as equal parts concerning and desperate, and used their shared animus […]
An Asian American police officer in Virginia attempted to do a welfare check at an apartment complex on Sept. 16. Once the occupant opened the door, she lunged at the officer with a knife. The person, 33-year-old Sydney Wilson, a black woman, continued to rush the officer while wielding the knife, even with repeated, urgent calls by […]
Confronted with a series of polls indicating a historic cratering of support among black men, Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a new “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men,” hoping to entice one of the Democratic Party’s most critical voting blocs to show up to the polls in November. The agenda would give black men “and others” […]
The Cato Institute on Tuesday published its 17th biennial Fiscal Policy Report Card on America’s Governors, evaluating 50 state leaders and their tax and spending policies since 2022. A half a dozen governors — Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Jim Pillen of Nebraska, Jim Justice of West Virginia, Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, Kristi Noem of […]
If Alexis de Tocqueville returned to America after nearly 200 years, what, once he had freed himself from the tender ministrations of the TSA, would the author of Democracy in America think? It would not take long to discover that he had been right to worry that time would turn two American strengths into weaknesses. Democracy had […]
Jason Reitman’s new film, Saturday Night, dramatizes the behind-the-scenes chaos of the making of the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975. The movie, timed to release shortly before the show’s 50th anniversary, is an odd, if entertaining, duck — a bit inside-baseball for SNL fans and a bit of nostalgia for a time […]
Americans are increasingly certain that their political opponents aren’t merely wrong, but evil. Now, accusing your neighbor of being a moral degenerate is generally frowned upon. For good reason. In the real world, we still need to live together peacefully. And anyway, my liberal acquaintances and friends are delightful people. It is because my liberal friends are […]
The more interviews Kamala Harris does, the more one understands her original decision to do as few as possible. They keep revealing her weaknesses as a candidate or — heaven forfend! — a future president. Her interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Oct. 16 was not an immediate disaster. She was still standing […]
