A Berkley school district has an ill-fated idea to pay for reparations by suing companies with a questionable connection to slavery. The Berkeley Unified School District’s Reparations Task Force proposed several ideas for funding possible reparations, including “unrestricted cash payments for BUSD Descendant students.” The task force suggests “filing a lawsuit against those private entities whose historic activities connected […]
The dreadful debate performance put forth by President Joe Biden last week may have caused panic among the Democratic Party and its donors, but it will be largely forgotten in a week, thanks to a slew of major news-making events on the calendar. While some have claimed the strategic benefit of having the first presidential […]
From the right: Democrats’ Best Hope Now “Suddenly, the columnists and editorial pages that denied the truth” about President Biden’s mental decline “are sounding...
At first glance, the Supreme Court’s Monday decision on presidential immunity looked like an unwise overstatement of otherwise valid principles. At closer glance, it looks almost abominable. If there is a future President Kamala Harris, the decision in Trump v. United States would make her frighteningly unpunishable in criminal court even for what otherwise would […]
The 2024 presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most consequential in history. Interestingly, it shares many similarities with another important election: 1968. President Joe Biden now finds himself in a situation similar to former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s predicament in 1968. Johnson had lost the support of many in the Democratic […]
There are few people who hold such little power on paper but so much power in practice as first lady Jill Biden does.

True blue Democratic states are supposedly the model Democrats want to impose on the country, but they are horribly mismanaged even at the state level. Much is written of California and New York’s pathetic declines, overseen by governors with eyes on national politics and single-party legislatures that prefer cultural battles over keeping residents safe. Illinois […]
Democrats have tried to paint themselves as the defenders of democracy and their opponents as the enemies of democracy. This fevered framing instantly yields absurd results: Democrats are now defending democracy by saying that if they lose, the result is illegitimate. Today’s self-proclaimed Democracy Defenders are and always have been full of it. You can […]
Vice President Kamala Harris‘s brazen lie on X yesterday claiming that former President Donald Trump would support a national abortion ban represents the Biden campaign’s broader strategy of deception. Harris wrote, “Donald Trump would ban abortion nationwide. President Joe Biden and I will do everything in our power to stop him and restore women’s reproductive […]
The Department of Justice is offering a plea deal to Boeing to avoid a trial on the company’s safety failures. The deal slaps the company with a fine and a few years of monitoring. It is unacceptable after the series of crashes in recent years. These debacles have revealed a company with deep-seated problems that […]
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has always been one to criticize conservatives on the Supreme Court, but today she went one step further, calling for their impeachment on X. This was in response to the court voting 6-3 to protect presidential immunity. The court ruled that “under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of […]
When French President Emmanuel Macron called for the snap elections, people thought he was crazy. The far-right party National Rally emerged ahead of Macron’s party in the first round of voting that occurred on June 30.
