It’s official: GOP speakership depends on Democrats

IT’S OFFICIAL: GOP SPEAKERSHIP DEPENDS ON DEMOCRATS. Late Wednesday, Rep.

Johnson and Greene had negotiated for a couple of days, and […]

Chinese state media outlet shows support for Russia war on Ukraine

In a strikingly public show of support for Russia’s war on Ukraine, China’s Global Times state media outlet feted Russia’s annual Victory Day celebration on Thursday.

The rise of TikTok economics

The internet recently had a joyous time mocking a young TikTok influencer who said the solution to the growing fiscal problems in the United States was simply to print more money. “USA is in debt. Everybody’s in debt. Why don’t we just print more money?” she asked. “Just get the printers going.” This kind of […]

Saluting Xi Jinping, Hungary’s Orban mocks his American supporters

You can support the Hungarian government’s robust policies against illegal immigration and its support for the family unit. But you cannot claim to be tough on China and also support Viktor Orban. Because the prime minister of Hungary is Chinese President Xi Jinping’s happy servant. A servant, that is to say, of Xi’s keystone effort […]

Blinken provides case study in how not to do diplomacy

After he took office, President Joe Biden declared, “Diplomacy is back.” Top aides Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan repeated the mantra. Their implication? The Trump era’s unilateralism and tweet-from-the-hip chaos were over. A statesman embracing diplomacy, however, is akin to a surgeon wielding a scalpel: The tool depends upon the skill of its operator. […]

Trump should debate RFK Jr. at the libertarian convention

Former President Donald Trump made the surprise announcement last week that he will be appearing at the Libertarian National Convention later this month.  “Libertarians are some of the most independent and thoughtful thinkers in our country, and I am honored to join them in Washington, D.C., later this month,” Trump said. “We must all work together to […]

What does it take to be jailed in Washington, DC?

Washington, D.C.’s idea of criminal justice reform has decayed the justice system so much that someone firing off a weapon on the street for fun is not deemed to be a threat to the public. The suspect in this story is Amonte Moody, who is alleged to have fired 26 shots from an AR-15 at […]

Banning safe pesticides is bad policy and harmful to farmers

Less than six months after New York surrendered to activists and banned a class of insecticides with a long track record of safe, effective use, Vermont now faces a similar decision. Gov. Phil Scott has an opportunity to veto the legislation rather than follow New York’s ill-advised example. House Bill H.706, a near carbon-copy of New York’s legislation, sailed through […]

Moving away from the template of ‘oppressor vs. oppressed’

The violent campus takeover by protesters — some of them students, many not — has had the unintended effect of discrediting the premise underlying the protest. That premise is that the world is divided between oppressors and the oppressed, and that the oppressors are always evil and their victims already virtuous. It’s a premise that […]

The Biden administration wants free speech for Big Labor, not businesses

What’s more offensive — and, for that matter, illegal? An employee calling a coworker a “gutter b****” and a “queen of the slums”?
