The Biden administration’s policy of placating terrorists is dangerous, especially when it comes to President Joe Biden’s treatment of Hamas. Biden promised that he would have soldiers build Gaza a pier to provide aid, which we all know will almost certainly be confiscated by Hamas terrorists. Biden is doing this even as Hamas holds Americans […]
Black sports pundits cannot stop complaining about Caitlin Clark’s skin color because they cannot get over that a white player is the face of a sport predominantly played by black athletes.

It is bad enough that illegal immigrants are paying criminals to stage fake robberies so they can pretend to help law enforcement solve crimes, but now, Democratic sheriffs are passing out visas like candy to illegal immigrants who attack Republicans. It is far past time to put an end to all these shenanigans by eliminating […]
Cowardly university leadership is emboldening pro-terrorist protesters and punishing normal students for their university’s lack of a spine. On the heels of Columbia University moving classes online rather than cracking down on disruptive, antisemitic protests, the University of Southern California is canceling its main-stage graduation ceremony, which the university says “traditionally brings 65,000 students, families, […]
Several Supreme Court justices yesterday seemed disturbingly open to far too wide a scope of supposed presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. Almost nothing in the actual text of the Constitution provides for such immunity. At oral argument in Trump v. United States, Justice Clarence Thomas asked the right question of Trump’s attorney, John Sauer: “Could […]
Columbia University and Yale University appear to be in a competition to see who will be the poster child for antisemitism, intimidation, and polemics trumping serious insight or discussion of world affairs. Historian Martin Kramer warned 14 years ago that Columbia was entering a tailspin. Columbia President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik essentially surrendered to the antisemitic mob […]
The following concludes a series about how State Department age determinations put special immigrant visa applicant Wali Akrami’s son Waheed in needless peril for six years. Afghan refugee Waheed Akrami arrived in Rochester, New York, this month on humanitarian parole after an apparent State Department blunder separated him from his family for six long years. In 2018, […]

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently stated that passing marijuana banking, the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation Banking Act (“SAFER”), remains a high priority. Recent news coverage indicates that SAFER may be traded and inserted into another must-pass piece of legislation at the last minute. After all, elections are coming, and the industries looking to […]
One month after increasing for the first time since September, the personal consumption expenditures price inflation index rose again from 2.5% to 2.8% in the month ending in March, its highest annual level since November of last year. Core PCE inflation, which strips away the volatile categories of food and energy prices, held constant at […]
In his fiscal 2025 budget proposal, President Joe Biden asked Congress to provide an unprecedented $104 billion in additional funding for the IRS on top of its $12.3 billion annual budget and the $80 billion the agency already received through Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. Worryingly, when I questioned IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel about when the […]
Columbia University has succumbed to the mob. Protesters have encamped on its grounds for the past week, disrupting its staff, faculty, and other students. Especially affected are Jewish staff, faculty, and students, who reasonably fear for their safety. The protesters have been demonstrating against Israel’s war in Gaza, demanding the university “divest” from Israel. By […]
