The online reaction to Harrison Butker’s graduation speech at Benedictine College shows us many broken things about our broken culture, but one of the more disturbing lessons involves technology and how our brains have evolved. It was totally predictable that folks on social media and in the news media would freak out that a man […]

The International Criminal Court became the latest meaningless bureaucratic organization masquerading as an objective international voice of reason to accuse Israel of war crimes.  On Monday, prosecutor Karim Khan announced that the ICC is seeking arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three high-profile Hamas members, […]

It has been 52 years since Richard Nixon won the state of Minnesota in the 1972 presidential election, and no Republican has managed to do it since, but former President Donald Trump may have the party’s best shot at turning the state red in half a century. For most of the year, Trump has argued […]

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) likened the catfight that detonated the House Oversight Committee into utter chaos on Thursday to the Jerry Springer Show, but as the war of words between Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) spills into a second week, the utter decadence and moral degradation of Bravo’s […]

President Joe Biden pitched himself as our uniter-in-chief, but he spends his time sewing racial division to try and solidify his political support. Biden turned his speech at Morehouse College’s graduation ceremony into a racial grievance session. He told students at the historically black university that they have to be “10 times better than anyone […]

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi perished in what Iranian media initially labeled a “hard landing.” That Iranians celebrated with fireworks in Raisi’s hometown Mashhad reflects the hatred with which Iranians view the regime that oppresses them. This should be a warning to the regime: Raisi is one thing, but when 85-year-old Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has […]

America ratified the Constitution with the understanding that the federal government would be one of limited, enumerated powers. That understanding was quickly upended. Within a few decades, the commerce clause had been expanded to reach nearly every commercial activity, the necessary and proper clause had been transformed into the “elastic clause,” and the spending and […]

The president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, died in a helicopter crash on Sunday. Several others, including Tehran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, were also on board and perished in the rugged northern Iranian wilderness. Raisi’s death has greater implications for the future than the present. Raisi, 63, had served as president since 2021. A longtime regime apparatchik, he […]

The Real Housewives of Trad have disseminated variations of a meme positing that women must choose between advanced educational attainment and having a fulfilling family life. This assertion is not only a false dichotomy but one that ignores the data demonstrating that more educated women are far more likely to get married and stay married […]

The Biden camp is preparing to launch a $14 million ad campaign attacking former President Donald Trump on healthcare policy, according to a report at NBC News. The campaign will reportedly focus in part on Trump’s previous efforts to repeal Obamacare.  While 20 million people are enrolled in the Obamacare marketplace, its results as a […]

Ukraine has had a rough week. The Russian offensive in Kharkiv, the same region Ukrainian forces liberated during a counteroffensive in September 2022, is once again an active theater of the war. The Russians have managed to claim as much as 10 kilometers since the middle of last week and are currently battling for Vovchansk, a town […]

It was quite contentious in the House of Representatives last week. Discussions about fake eyelashes, “bleach blonde” hair, and (supposedly) homophobic slurs were part of the heated exchange between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) that received much of the country’s scrutiny and attention. Yet before that chaos ensued, a black Democratic congresswoman […]

The Supreme Court ruled last week that Congress, when it created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, had every right to delegate the power of the purse over to the Federal Reserve. That doesn’t mean it was a good idea. Republicans in Congress ought to introduce a bill to scrap the CFPB’s unorthodox and unaccountable funding […]
