Google Maps has renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America days after President Trump signed an executive order calling for the change last week amid a U.S. trade war with Canada.
Rep. Jim Clyburn, a senior adviser to House Democratic leaders, said Sunday that Democrats could impeach President Trump if the party wins back the House majority in November.
President Trump said Sunday he plans to use some of the oil he secured from Venezuela to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has been depleted to near-record lows.
In the spring and summer of 1979, a series of diplomatic missteps and miscommunications contributed to then-President Jimmy Carter losing a greater share of the Jewish vote than any Democratic presidential candidate in American history. The Carter administration’s most significant error stemmed from maneuvering at the United Nations. When Arab states introduced Security Council Resolution […]
“Stop trying to make ‘fetch’ happen. … It’s not going to happen.” That’s what Regina George, the meanest girl in 2004’s Mean Girls, tells a hanger-on who is hoping to gain favor by coining a synonym for “cool.” While “fetch” never happened, the admonishing phrase certainly did, escaping the movie and becoming a meme for […]
It’s a bad idea to tempt fate with the words, “Joe Biden has hit bottom and can’t sink lower.” This president can, it seems, always get worse. Betraying Israel to pander to his far-Left voter base by cutting off arms supplies unless Jerusalem agrees to military micromanagement by the dotard in the White House is […]
EXCLUSIVE — As it stands, former President Donald Trump is leading incumbent President Joe Biden in both the national polls and in key swing states. Betting markets also have Trump as the 2024 favorite. This makes a White House victory for Trump more likely than it was at any point during the 2016 or 2020 […]
It is another day ending in “y” in the Beltway, and with it we have another “climate crisis” attack on the oil and gas companies — the very ones that produce efficient energy for the great mass of Americans and, indeed, the world. The latest example of this game of pin the climate blame on […]
In a sane world, none of us should have to care about the views of Stephanie Kelton, prominent advocate of the economic delusion known as Modern Monetary Theory. But in a sane world, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) would have never appointed Kelton as chief economist when the left-wing extremist chaired the Senate Budget Committee. And […]
Is Joe Biden the new Jimmy Carter? The comparisons are striking. The most recent Gallup poll found Biden’s job approval at an anemic 38%, just a shade above Carter’s 34% that Gallup found at a similar point in the latter’s presidency. Moreover, Biden, like Carter before him, is plagued by domestic problems and international crises. […]
The saying about presidential elections used to go that Democrats fall in love and Republicans fall in line. These days, Republicans seem to do both and Democrats do neither. On the Republican side, the prospect of a lively 2024 presidential primary turned out to be pure political mirage. Forget the supposed Ron DeSantis insurgency. Forget […]
Everybody’s in LA, John Mulaney’s six-part Netflix live talk show, loosely about Los Angeles, is a lesson in the promise and peril of taking artistic risks. Created to coincide with the “Netflix Is a Joke” humor festival, the show teased its ad hoc premise with winking promos depicting awkward vox pops with real Angelenos, promises […]
When Hari Kunzru’s fourth novel, Gods Without Men, was published in 2011, it represented both a high point and an endpoint in the author’s career. The book is a kaleidoscopic work that teems with life, bursts with inventiveness, and brims with chaotic energy. The multistoried narrative plays out in and around the Mojave Desert in […]
Nothing quite says a city is safe like having to reroute a holiday parade to avoid reported violence in the area. Prior to last year, Chicago hadn’t held a Cinco de Mayo parade since 2017. This year’s parade should have signaled a truly triumphant return to normalcy but turned out to be more of a […]
On the first Monday of May, Anna Wintour offered a rare apology. Although her annual Met Gala made money for the Costume Institute’s marquee exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” Wintour asked the guest list of influencers and billionaires to dress in accordance with the theme “Garden of Time.” “When we came up with the title […]
Last decade, when student protests flared up at places like the University of Missouri and censorious students at places like Michigan and Middlebury shouted down and mobbed speakers they disagreed with, it was common for critics to shake their heads and say wait until they get into the real world. We have since learned that […]
