Trump should forget 2020 at debate

If former President Donald Trump wants to win tonight’s debate, he needs not to discuss his theory that President Joe Biden stole the 2020 election. Both candidates are known entities, so they do not need to compete for the spotlight. Rather, whoever has more attention focused on them during this debate will likely suffer as […]

Equity for big families?

The average-sized household in Fairfax County, Virginia, has 2 or 3 people — 2.71 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. My household in Fairfax County has eight people — plus two dogs. Fairfax has a confusing system for residential trash collection, but if your home is serviced by the county, you get one big […]

Reports of Lauren Boebert’s demise were greatly exaggerated

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) won the Republican primary for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District on Tuesday night. It was a resounding victory for the GOP firebrand, especially after numerous reports that her reelection was not a sure thing and she faced a tough primary. Ultimately, she received more votes than the next three closest candidates — […]

Trumpism comes to Britain

Trumpism has arrived with a bang in the United Kingdom. Britain’s Trump — he won’t be in the least offended by the comparison, being a big cheerleader for the former president — is Nigel Farage, who led the anti-EU U.K. Independence Party and has now transformed it into a broader insurgent movement, the Reform Party. […]

The only MLB team without a Pride Night sparks ridiculous backlash

Out of 30 MLB teams, only the Texas Rangers do not host a Pride Night in June. As expected, the legacy media meet this news with shock and disgust. At KSAT out of San Antonio, a headline says, “The Texas Rangers are frustrating LGBTQ+ advocates as the only MLB team without a Pride Night.” Over at the […]

Three special elections that tell us nothing about November

A favorite pastime of political prognosticators is to use out-of-cycle special elections as a predictor for the next major general election, but three recent special House elections show just how useless such analysis is. As much as we look for clues for the electorate’s feelings toward its elected politicians, special elections are never the bellwethers […]

The Ukraine question hangs over the presidential debate

Thursday’s debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, their first showdown in a presidential campaign that hasn’t even reached peak season yet, is sure to include fireworks, angry barbs, and its fair share of passive-aggressive glares. Both men will also have to answer questions about their Ukraine policy. The 2-1/2-year conflict has cost U.S. […]

Debate day brings bad news for Biden

DEBATE DAY BRINGS BAD NEWS FOR BIDEN. It’s only natural for pollsters and other political professionals to try to take the public’s temperature about a presidential race right before a big debate. The debate might have little effect on the race, or it might change everything, and the only way to know is to measure where […]

As an independent voter and Gen-Z woman, here’s what I want to hear from Donald Trump

At Thursday's debate, Donald Trump can court disillusioned young voters by leaning into the economy and immigration — while quelling our fears that he's...

Don’t trust ESG ratings

An environmental, social, and governance rating that overlooks the imminent likelihood of bankruptcy is worthless.  The electric vehicle maker, Fisker, Inc. declared bankruptcy last week, representing the loss of roughly a billion dollars of investor capital. Yet only a month ago, Sustainalytics gave Fisker a “Medium Risk” ESG rating, the same as Tesla, and suggested […]

How to fix the broken housing market

Owning a home is a big part of the American Dream. Families work and save for years in order to build capital for the down payment on a home where children can be raised in a nurturing environment.  Today, however, for too many the home ownership dream is a dream never to be realized.  Instead, […]

All options must be on the table to deliver tax relief for working people

Republicans are already hard at work to once again deliver for working families and small businesses by building on the success of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act next year. The 2017 tax law is a blueprint for prosperity that should be made permanent, and all options are on the table to ensure the biggest […]

How Ben Sasse could transform education

In late 2022, former Republican Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse was appointed president of the University of Florida. The media mostly ran with artificially inflated stories of student protests. But Sasse’s supporters were optimistic that he could prove a transformative leader.  To date, he’s kept a relatively low public profile. But Sasse has just been handed […]

Trump’s strength in the polls and fundraising haul leave Democrats wondering how it all went so wrong

Democrats were sure that former President Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts in a New York courtroom on May 30 would see independent voters abandon him in droves. He is now a convicted felon, and although the verdict will likely be reversed upon appeal, there is little likelihood that will happen before Election Day. […]
