Every week political cartoonists throughout the country and across the political spectrum apply their ink-stained skills to capture the foibles, memes, hypocrisies and other head-slapping events in the world...
There was widespread outrage at President Donald Trump’s comments earlier this year that Immigration and Customs Enforcement shouldn’t enforce the law against farms employing illegal aliens. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins did damage control by saying that the administration’s goal remains that farms should have “a 100% American workforce” and that “ultimately, the answer on this is automation.” So why […]
Can everyone else not see what is wrong with this? What is it that we are throwing away? The years since World War II have been the most peaceful in human history. As Steven Pinker showed, we have been proportionately less likely to die in an interstate war over the past 80 years than in […]
“Generals,” French Prime Minister George Clemenceau allegedly said during World War I, “are always fighting the last war.” A century later, his warning should again be heeded. 2026 will mark four years since Russia invaded Ukraine, remaking the map of Europe and, in many respects, war itself. Taiwan, under threat from China, would be wise to […]
Writers venturing predictions generally prefer events to prove them right, not wrong. But I’d much rather miss the mark in this case than hit the bullseye. Because I venture the opinion that negotiations in Geneva will not end the Ukraine war. Each of the two parties to that hideous conflict wants to avoid being the […]
There’s been much talk of late about fissures in the Republican Party. It’s not just MAGA vs. “GOPE” — the GOP Establishment. That’s old news. The Epstein files are newer news, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says have “ripped MAGA apart.” Then there’s MTG’s resignation, and her blast at President Donald Trump, which he, […]
At a time when marriage and birth rates are rapidly declining, a recent Pew poll finding that 12th graders are far less interested in getting married today than they were 30 years ago is alarming. In 1993, according to Pew, some 80% of all 12th graders said they were likely to get married someday, compared […]
Nov. 24 was the 100th anniversary of William F. Buckley Jr.’s birth. Even though he has been gone for more than a decade and a half, the impact of his life is still being felt today. In his efforts to forge a consequential movement, Buckley worked to “police the Right,” expelling antisemites and conspiracy theorists […]
What happens when you combine California‘s lax criminal “justice” system with an electoral system focused on mailing ballots to voters? You get crime rings that jeopardize trust in the entire electoral system. San Jose has mail thieves on the loose, with a group of criminals evidently getting a hold of postal master keys to raid […]
The soap-opera sideshow currently roiling elite media involves journalists Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza, a formerly engaged Washington, D.C., power couple whose breakup has produced dueling, late-breaking memoirs. Nuzzi, who was infamously axed by New York magazine after she allegedly conducted a digital affair with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., resurfaced […]
President Donald Trump, following the GOP’s November off-year election shellacking and a minor but sustained dip in his approval ratings, has been quick to reprioritize the cost-of-living conundrum. It’s a matter that originally delivered him a second term, after former President Joe Biden‘s four years in office. “The Biden administration started the affordability crisis,” Trump […]
Bare feet. Bad breath. Boisterous conversations and body odor. When you fly, you run the risk of a memorable experience, to say the least. And it’s not just thanks to your close proximity to other passengers. We’re all getting ruder, too. The Transportation Department reports that “since 2019, the [Federal Aviation Administration] has seen a […]
From Presidents Franklin Roosevelt through John F. Kennedy, the Democratic Party projected patriotic confidence, fully comfortable celebrating America’s greatness alongside Republicans. But around 2014, coinciding with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, that began to change. Democrats now routinely tell pollsters they are not proud of their country and that other nations are […]
In June, after Zohran Mamdani somehow bulldozed through the New York Democratic mayoral primary and seized the nomination, I was walking through my neighborhood — I live just north of Manhattan — when a friend saw me and deadpanned: “So when Mayor Mamdani makes the buses free, can we ride them on Shabbos?” This was classic […]
The Democrats’ latest con job is blaming President Donald Trump for former President Joe Biden’s legacy inflation and claiming that Zohran Mamdani-style socialism will solve the “affordability problem” rather than make it far worse. If the Ocasio-Cortez-Sanders-Jeffries crowd gets away with this propaganda, the next “red wave” to wash over America will be a Marxist-controlled Congress […]
