Former Florida legislator Mike Beltran seeks to oust 10-term incumbent Kathy Castor in 14th district, arguing she has been ineffective and out of touch with constituents.
Our Washington Examiner editorial on Friday lists some substantive questions that presidential candidate Kamala Harris should answer if she ever comes out of hiding, but those are just a start. Here are others — ones that will force her to clarify whether she stands with the radical wing of her party or instead with the […]
Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris walked on the stage Thursday night to the metaphorical beat of former President Barack Obama’s “Hope and Change” promise of 2008, sounding themes of patriotism, celebrating America’s toughness, and promising not to dwell in the present but to move toward the future. “A new way forward,” Harris called it, and […]
The right to free speech is a crucial one that is only honored in the United States. Bureaucrats in Europe and elsewhere are trying to impose their own restrictions on American speech and their American counterparts are, unfortunately, keen on joining them. The problems have been most evident with the treatment of X, the social […]
A very active Democratic National Convention told viewers very little. Vice President Kamala Harris has offered a very limited platform as yet, and so speakers backing her said equally as little of substance. Seeing lots of performance and little substance is nothing new, but it is invariably entertaining. Take state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-MI) and […]
The Republican presidential nominee’s penchant for papering over prolonged intra-party fights has once again surfaced but this time arguably on the most important state...
CHICAGO — On the fourth and final morning of the Democratic National Convention, former President Donald Trump‘s campaign sent out his ex-primary opponent and current surrogate Vivek Ramaswamy swinging. The billionaire biotech entrepreneur closed out a week of counterprogramming from the Republican ex-president, with Ramaswamy excoriating Kamala Harris over the vice president’s record on everything […]
Michelle Obama has been the star of the Democratic National Convention so far. She’s an inspiring orator, that goes without challenge. Even the Fox News hosts gushed. The focus of her speech was hope, a narrative flair referring back to her husband’s winning campaign in 2008. As a loyal Democrat from the first time I could […]
Earlier this month, Iran’s most well-known foreign proxy, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, launched numerous rockets at Israel, making international headlines. It is seen as part of Iran’s expected response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on its own soil, which Iran blamed, or credited, depending on your point of view, on Israel. Yet Hezbollah launching […]
When 22-year-old Laken Riley was murdered in broad daylight during one of her daily runs in the college town of Athens, Georgia, it was quickly determined that the main suspect was Jose Ibarra, who had entered the country illegally. Ibarra had been known to the authorities previously, and he had even been apprehended crossing the […]
In A Wrinkle in Time, author Madeleine L’Engle describes a town called Camazotz, a suburban community held captive by a dark force. There, all the houses are exactly alike, small square boxes painted gray. The same number of dull flowers dot each yard. Children at play bounce their balls and skip their ropes in perfect […]
Hailed by many as a history-altering savior responsible for communism’s decline and scorned by others as a clueless, intellectually unsophisticated actor out of touch with both common folks and the real world, Ronald Reagan made a lasting global impact. A new film explores the roots of his confidence, the relationships that nurtured it, and the […]
A science experiment goes dangerously wrong. Quarantining the infected proves impractical or insufficient. Welcome to Alien: Coronavirus (sorry, Romulus), the franchise’s best and most evocative effort since Sigourney Weaver donned a mechanical exosuit in the classic 1986 sequel. Of course, the Alien movies have dredged ideological waters in the past, most famously in David Fincher’s […]
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to speak Friday concerning the future of his long-shot campaign. Kennedy will be speaking in Phoenix, the same day former President Donald Trump will be in the area holding a rally in the all-important swing state of Arizona. Adding fuel to the rumors, ABC News reported Wednesday that Kennedy […]
The next two paragraphs are a test to see how much I remember from elementary school science class: The continents of Africa and South America were once part of a massive supercontinent known as Pangaea, which existed around 335 million years ago. Pangaea began to break apart about 175 million years ago during the Mesozoic […]
