LAS VEGAS — Vice President JD Vance has faced skepticism from some in the Jewish Republican community. He waded directly into the fray Monday — and was met with...
Amid a flurry of regulations, the Biden administration is desperately trying to ram through ahead of the November election a new nanny state rule that will restrict added sugars in school meals. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture finalized a new rule that restricts added sugars in school meals for the first time. The […]
President Joe Biden’s sanctimonious lectures about climate change are pathetic because it is clear that Biden doesn’t believe in them himself. Biden posted on Tuesday that “Anyone who willfully denies the impacts of climate change is condemning the American people to a dangerous future.” That is an odd statement for Biden to make, given that […]
One of Ukraine’s key battlefield successes against Russia has been its employment of “deep strike” operations. That is to say, operations against targets deep behind Russian lines. As first reported by the Washington Examiner, Kyiv’s strategy here is heavily influenced by British special forces in Ukraine. Deep strike operations seek to target an enemy’s command and control […]
Was the passage by the House last Saturday and the Senate on Tuesday of the foreign aid package with money for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan a turning point in American foreign policy? It certainly was a turnabout in rhetoric and in partisan behavior. Speaker Mike Johnson led the narrowly Republican House to pass by resounding […]
President Joe Biden has repeatedly said he won’t hike taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000, but then this week he promised on X to hike taxes on just about everyone. Now, to be fair, Biden may not have understood that’s what he’s saying. Letting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire and “stay expired” […]
With the death of Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ) and the resignation of Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI), just 429 members fill the 435 seats in the House of Representatives as of Wednesday. Republicans control a razor-thin majority of 217 seats, with Democrats in control of 212 seats. In California, the open seat of former Speaker Kevin […]
Columbia University’s decision to move classes online is inexcusable, and it does nothing to solve the university’s antisemitism problem. Columbia is moving most of its classes into a hybrid model, meaning that most in-person classes will become, at least in part, online classes. This is in reaction to antisemitic student mobs harassing Jewish students and […]
If policymakers in Republican states want a model for confronting the Biden administration’s lawless attempt to impose gender theory on schools, they should look no further than Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters. The Washington Examiner reported Wednesday that Walters published a letter instructing district superintendents throughout the state to defy the Biden administration’s new regulation […]
Sometimes government expansion looks like the dangerous bulking-up of Big Brother. Sometimes it looks more niggling, merely petty interference by the nanny state. President Joe Biden’s latest intrusions are seemingly of that pettifogging, prune-faced variety rather than apparently casting the shadow of tyranny. But the truth is that Nanny works for Big Brother, building his […]
It has now been almost 50 years since the Turkish army invaded Cyprus, occupying and ethnically cleansing a third of the country. Turkish justification that their invasion was necessary to protect Turkish Cypriots rings hollow for three reasons. First, the Greek junta in Athens fell within days, ending any threat Turkish Cypriots might have felt. […]
If you’re very online, or if you’re involved in local government, you probably know some “urbanists” or some YIMBYs (Yes In My Back Yard). You might have friends or acquaintances who talk endlessly about walkability. You might follow an X account with a name like “Driving Is A Sin.” The folks who care the most […]
HILLARY CLINTON, DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. One of the great moments in lack of self-awareness occurred last week when former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on a podcast produced by a Democratic group called Defending Democracy on Democracy Docket. Clinton was interviewed by the Democratic lawfare warrior Marc Elias, more on that later, and spent much […]
President Joe Biden reached a blasphemous new low in his crusade for abortion on Tuesday when he made the sign of the cross at a campaign event focused on abortion in Florida. The nation’s second Catholic president made the gesture as Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for signing legislation […]
ESPN talk show host Stephen A. Smith backpedaled faster than an NFL cornerback covering an elite wide receiver. Smith, known on the sports network for portraying an arrogant, self-assured, self-confident braggart, is, in reality, a coward. He should consider changing his name to “Screaming A. Smith.” Look no further than Smith’s recent comments about former […]
