We already know this rule: You aren’t permitted to leave a museum without running into a gift shop. I also discovered late last week in Paris that you can’t walk out of the newly restored Notre-Dame cathedral without passing a large gift zone near the arrow that points to Sortie de secours. And you can’t […]
At first glance, Blackie & Co.: Blackbirds in My Garden, by the English writer Hockley Clarke, is quite unsurprisingly a nice little book about blackbirds. Namely, two birds, father and son, whose relationship with Clarke began one bitter night in 1962. It was Europe’s coldest winter in 80 years, and, to give the bird a […]
The Army announced Wednesday that its Janus Program has selected five companies to build nuclear microreactors at five military installations, committing up to $2.2 billion to an effort that could eventually put more than 20 reactors across War Department facilities. It is the latest evidence that President Donald Trump’s revival of American nuclear power could […]
President Donald Trump's push to acquire Greenland added a new security dimension to Iceland's EU referendum, with 275,000 eligible voters weighing in.
Democrats are declaring war on the Supreme Court in anticipation of former President Donald Trump’s cases being ruled on and, potentially, Trump winning in November. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) was made the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee after Democrats pushed aside then Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) for not being ruthless enough for their […]
On the CBS Show “Face the Nation,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had to defend the Biden administration’s woeful record of building new electric-vehicle charging...
“The anti-Israel set is right about something for once: it is unconscionable that Rafah has been turned into a warzone,” thunders Brendan O’Neill at...
There is no denying that the conviction of former President Donald Trump was an electoral ploy by Democrats achieved by manipulating the law to target the GOP nominee. There is also no denying that Trump and the GOP did a fair share of this damage to themselves. To get all of the stipulations out of […]
The College Republican National Committee released a statement on Thursday evening that criticized former President Donald Trump‘s conviction as “politically motivated prosecution,” but added that the “verdict was handed down by jurors whose decisions were made in accordance with our criminal justice system. As such, the outcome of this trial should be respected.” This statement […]
The Small Business Administration announced an aggressive voter registration initiative with the Michigan Department of State on March 19. The members of the House Small Business Committee, on which I serve, believe this agreement is likely unethical and potentially illegal. The arrangement utilizes SBA staff and resources to register voters, seemingly targeting Democrat-heavy areas such […]
TRUMP VERDICT A TRIUMPH FOR ELECTION DENIAL. It’s been eight years since Democrats were stunned by Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. Many in the party refused to accept what happened. No, they did not deny that Trump was president of the United States or the plain fact that he was […]
A new Roanoke College poll shows President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump tied at 42% in a head-to-head matchup in Virginia. In a five-way race, Biden leads by 2 points. Considering that Biden won Virginia in 2020 by 9.4 points, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won in 2016 by 5.3 points, […]
Anyone who paid attention to the 2024 Republican presidential primaries or recent battles on Capitol Hill over aid to Ukraine and Israel knows that the Republican Party is having a difficult time finding a foreign policy consensus. The coalition between libertarian and national populist Republicans advocates for a foreign policy that resembles the “Old Right” […]
The term “kangaroo court” has seemed an apt and amusing term to apply to the trial of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan during the past month. But now that, for the first time in history, a former president has been found guilty of felony indictments, it cannot be regarded as anything other than a […]
The first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president is over with a guilty verdict from a Manhattan jury. The case has been remarkable in many ways. Not the least of these is the fact that the verdict is almost entirely irrelevant. Donald Trump will have to spend more money to overturn the verdict on appeal, […]
“The scandal is what’s legal” was a saying in Washington for a long time. Politicians commit blatantly corrupt acts every day, abusing power for their own political benefit or personal enrichment. Nevertheless, almost none of them ever face prosecution — misdemeanor or felony charges. Partly, it’s because proving intent is real difficult. Largely, we don’t […]
