America’s legacy media institutions again disgraced themselves when CBS 60 Minutes edited Vice President Kamala Harris‘s jumbled answer to a question about the turbulence in the Middle East to make her seem more articulate. Instances like this, which expose Harris’s struggle to engage in meaningful policy discussions, are a big part of why her staff has shielded […]
Under the Constitution of the United States, Congress has broad power to regulate commerce among the states and the power to prevent the individual states from interfering in the free flow of commerce.

As war clouds loom over the Western Pacific, there are alarming signs that America has already lost the intelligence war to China. Communist China’s intent to forcibly overturn America’s historic dominance in the waters of east Asia, sooner rather than later, is not in doubt. The People’s Liberation Army’s most recent maneuvers around Taiwan, involving more […]
Do not ask questions. Do not challenge established dogma. Do not confront favored subjects. These are the rules at legacy media outlets in 2024. In order to be a journalist at one of these favored institutions, one essentially has to agree not to do any journalism at all. On Sept. 30, CBS Mornings anchor Tony […]
It’s important, health nuts and dieticians will tell you, to eat simpler. Try to eat locally sourced food, goes the advice, and choose foods that are minimally processed.

In the final weeks leading up to Election Day, most presidential nominees hope to be comfortably campaigning to the center of undecided and lower-propensity voters. Alas, the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, is stuck trying to stop record bleeding among her base. Despite promising voters a cornucopia of continued free (read: taxpayer-funded) credits […]
Once upon a time, the voters elected a president named George W. Bush. They liked him well enough to elect him a second time. He was far from perfect, and his competition was not exactly stiff. One of the men he ran against was John Kerry, for heaven’s sake. Even so, he managed to convince […]
Would the world be a better place without the United States? Would humanity be more prosperous without Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Google, and Visa? Would some other country have invented doughnuts, paperclips, fire hydrants, fortune cookies, sunglasses, deodorant, air conditioning, the Jerry Springer Show, and smartphones? Would the democracies, unaided, have beaten Nazism and communism? Vice […]
Watching Mr. McMahon, Netflix’s glossy new “sports entertainment” docuseries, the lapsed fan recalls all manner of wrastlin’ minutiae.

WrestleMania II, a strange and unlovely affair, felt disjointed because it […]
“The post-George Floyd riots resulted in an excess of over 15,000 black male deaths in this country.” That was Ryan Girdusky’s claim on a CNN panel in mid-October.

On Election Day, Californians will face their most difficult vote yet: Should crime be illegal again? Proposition 36 will give California voters the chance to allow felony charges for serial thieves and shoplifters with a sentence of, at maximum, three years behind bars.

“You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn’t you?” former President Bill Clinton told voters at a campaign stop for Vice President Kamala Harris in Georgia. “They made an ad about it, a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant. Yeah, well, if they’d all been properly vetted, that probably […]
The March of Time was a popular radio series from 1931-1945 and regular feature in movie theaters from 1935-1951. As novelist John Dunning wrote, its purpose was to produce “dramatized news events, elaborately staged with sound effects and music, put together like a newspaper—often on deadline, with impact and accuracy its twin goals.” These newsreels […]
