Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is handily leading Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) in a primary race for his seat in the upper chamber, according to a new poll. In the Emerson College Polling poll, 60.4 percent of respondents that are likely to vote in the Democratic primary or have already voted said that they would back...
Freedom Fuel gas stations, which the Trump administration promoted last month, sold fuel that its supplier never paid for, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this month. The suit, which attorneys for Mansfield Oil Company filed in U.S. District Court in Eastern Pennsylvania on Aug. 19, alleges that KRSM, a foreign corporation, obtained in excess...
The House is back in session this week after a monthlong August recess, with lawmakers aiming to avert a government shutdown before funding expires Sept. 30 amid the 2026 election season. The biggest item on the agenda will be a Senate-passed stopgap measure, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), that would keep the government...
The Republican National Committee’s (RNC) first-of-its-kind midterm convention has been cloaked in mystery until a few weeks ago. Details are finally emerging about what’s expected to be a two-day pep rally to bolster hype and encourage Republicans to get out the vote in November amid President Trump’s shrinking approval rate. But some Republicans are quietly...
If you ask why these privileged college students are bringing their campuses to a halt over an issue that has almost nothing to do with their universities, the answer is likely to expand beyond Gaza into a story of a broader struggle and trauma this generation has endured. This contention, that Generation Z has grown […]
On the eve of Israel‘s war-ending invasion of Hamas‘s Gaza stronghold in Rafah, the international media announced in unison that all of a sudden, Hamas agreed to a ceasefire. For two examples, here is the BBC with the announcement that Hamas “accepts” a ceasefire proposal and then MSNBC’s Ali Velshi with the details. See if […]
This is a memo to all student “protesters,” one evertibe should copy and send to all colleagues on every social media platform. Read it, think about it, and if it makes you angry or hurt, read it again. If you don’t learn from it, you’ll ruin your future, and you will deserve the ruination. If, […]
President Joe Biden has postured himself as an ally of Israel since the Oct. 7 massacre, but he has made it clear that he wants Hamas to survive more than he wants Israel to be safe from future terrorist attacks. Biden froze a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel with no explanation, with the White […]
The Netflix adaptation of author Liu Cixin’s science-fiction series, Remembrance of Earth’s Past — titled 3 Body Problem, after the first novel — is a gripping thriller with a compelling and original premise. It is also a cautionary tale of what happens when communist radicals are given any semblance of power. In an opening scene that peeved […]
Unsurprisingly, the Securities and Exchange Commission is facing legal challenges to its new climate rule after years of warnings from companies, investors, and activists alike. The novel rule, which forces publicly traded companies to report greenhouse gas emissions and exposure to other climate-related risks, goes well beyond the SEC’s mandate to protect investors and facilitate efficient capital formation. Now that […]
Announcing snap tactical nuclear weapons exercises, Russia is increasing pressure on the West to reduce support for Ukraine. The exercises declared on Monday center on Russia’s southern military district, which has responsibility for operations in Ukraine. This is clearly an effort to intimidate the West over the war in Ukraine. Two key points bear note. […]
Scotland is facing an unfortunate new reality after its “Hate Crime and Public Order Act” went into effect on April 1. The new law promised to “tackle the harm caused by hatred and prejudice,” but as with all hate speech laws, even if well intentioned, the inevitable result is both the subjective suppression of disfavored […]
Even as liberal media acknowledge that there is some craziness coming from college protesters over the war in Gaza, they can’t help but paint the protests as something they are not: anti-war. This framing of the protests has become more popular recently, a last-gasp attempt by many in media to salvage the reputation of the […]
This week’s Liberal Media Scream features another breathless election warning from another ABC News Trump critic, Jonathan Karl. A week after This Week host George Stephanopoulos practically seized up over the possibility of former President Donald Trump returning to power, as many voters want, fill-in Karl spun the election as the most important ever on […]
A team of NPR journalists set out to determine if it’s actually as easy to cross the southern border as Republicans have been warning for three years. The answer, evidently, is yes. In March, the NPR team walked south through a port of entry connecting Nogales, Arizona, to Mexico, encountering a migrant shelter within a […]
The oceanic paradise of Hawaii may be one of the most popular vacation destinations in the United States, but the proliferation of short-term vacation rentals such as Airbnb and Vrbo are pricing locals out of the housing market. Last week, Gov. Josh Green (D-HI) signed legislation that will make it easier for local governments to […]
The disastrous press tour executed by Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) ostensibly to promote her new memoir — but as everyone knows, it really acts as the South Dakota governor’s audition to become former President Donald Trump‘s running mate — can only be described as suicidal. And that might be intentional. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee […]
Ideologues pushing perversion, racism, and class warfare in public schools generate national outrage. But their cruelty is granular and personal: children butchered or drugged, teachers silenced or bullied into quitting. How about an unwoke school board member? Cruelty on an outrageous scale. Death threats. We’re going to kill you and dismember you. And your family, […]
