‘WHATEVER THEY CAN GET HIM FOR IS FINE WITH ME.‘ The trial of former President Donald Trump is heading toward a conclusion. For those who at the beginning thought the case was weak and politically motivated, the presentation of the prosecution’s evidence has made it seem even weaker and more politically motivated. A conviction will […]
In November, California voters will have a chance to restore some sanity to the state’s criminal justice system over the objections of pro-criminal activists who reformed it into the mess it is today. A rollback of California’s Proposition 47 will likely be on the ballot in November. Proposition 47 softened penalties for nonviolent felonies such […]
It is presumptively good, albeit with rare exceptions, when not just bipartisan but major cross-ideological agreements emerge on Capitol Hill. When the agreements involve ethics and the limitation of opportunity for executive abuses, that’s even better. A bipartisan bill introduced last week in the House Oversight Committee, therefore, looks like reason to celebrate. Committee Chairman […]
President Joe Biden’s strategy toward Iran, Russia, Hamas, China, and North Korea now has one centering objective: ensuring those adversaries don’t complicate his reelection prospects. Recognizing this political reality is important for two reasons. First, because Biden’s strategy is undermining American security and that of our allies and interests. Second, because it utterly guts Biden’s […]
We all have to grow up eventually. As Jordan Peterson suggests, this is easiest to do if you have children. New mother Ilana Glazer, known for playing a raunchy single girl in the sitcom Broad City, probably knows this better than anybody. But becoming a mother doesn’t mean giving up toilet humor. In fact, it’s […]
On the bright side, President Joe Biden has finally acknowledged that our nation’s record-low fertility is a problem that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, not only will his proposed solution fail spectacularly, but it fails to recognize the contribution mothers make to the economy and ignores their desire to spend more time with their families. […]
By refusing to answer simple questions about a May 3 incident at Quantico Marine Corps base, the Biden administration have essentially confirmed a question...
In our commentariat there is a widely held belief that the only people who fear IRS audits are tax cheats. If you actually apply the worldview of Matts Fuller and Yglesias, African Americans are disproportionately tax cheats. That seems unlikely to me, and I don’t think the Matts would say that. But the Government Accountability […]
After falling by millions during former President Donald Trump’s term, the number of families using food stamps has risen steadily under President Joe Biden, and a new study shows these families are not getting the calories they need thanks to Bidenflation. Just 28 million people were on food stamps before Barack Obama became president, and […]
The Libertarian Party all but assured that its bid for irrelevance on the national stage will continue unabated as it nominated relative unknown Chase Oliver as its 2024 presidential candidate on Sunday evening. Oliver is no stranger to libertarian electoral politics. In 2020, he ran for Congress in Georgia as the party’s candidate in the […]
For the first time, a former president spoke at the Libertarian National Convention. Under the leadership of Chairwoman Angela McArdle, the Libertarian Party hosted several non-Libertarians who agree with the nation’s largest third party on a variety of policies. Along with former President Donald Trump, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT,) and tech […]
Parts of President Joe Biden’s Gaza aid pier are now adrift at sea, making it a perfect symbol of his presidency and reelection campaign. Two of the vessels being used for the pier became unmoored and drifted away, washing up on the coast of Israel. The damage has caused a temporary suspension in aid, which […]
The effort to get to the bottom of the origins of COVID-19 is more than four years in the making. And while shockingly little progress has been made, evidence suggests that a plot to conceal answers is unraveling before our eyes. The latest evidence comes from David Morens, a top adviser to former National Institutes […]
Mothers and their preborn babies deserve financial support from the moment of conception, but the governor of Kansas is concerned that putting this into law might interfere with her support for abortion. Gov. Laura Kelly (D-KS) vetoed legislation this month to require child support payments to begin at the start of a pregnancy. The idea […]
