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 […]
As predicted a year ago, the progressive legal movement’s breakneck race to try Donald Trump in criminal court as soon as he locked up the Republican presidential nomination, with no small help from said political prosecutions, has invited a deluge of dumbed down and dismal media coverage. Although distractions spanning from Ukraine and Gaza to […]
Former University of Iowa basketball player Caitlin Clark became America’s sweetheart the last two years with her athletic performances on the basketball court. She spurred a renaissance of viewership for women’s college basketball as the sport set records for ratings in 2023 and 2024. This was particularly true for games featuring Clark broadcasted on network […]
What happened when former President Donald Trump deregulated and fixed mobile broadband internet service? Prices plunged, speeds skyrocketed, and all of the crazy end-of-the-world-is-nigh predictions from the media and other Democrats were wildly, comically wrong. It is objectively one of the most successful deregulations in history. Yet urged on by President Joe Biden, the Federal Communications Commission […]
Transparency, accountability, honesty. Federal labor law requires that businesses uphold these basic principles out of respect for workers. But labor unions have no such obligation, and they use this opening to their unfair advantage. They can secretly place union organizers at companies, deceiving workers and employers alike, while businesses must publicly disclose their attempts to […]
On April 11, a public school in DeWitt, Michigan, sent a letter home with its first grade students notifying parents about a plan to teach the 6-year-old children about gender ideology. Not only is this topic a reprehensible overreach of government-funded schools, but it is extremely age-inappropriate. In first grade, children do not even have […]
Democrats say the most extraordinary things. Last week, Hillary Clinton joined attorney Marc Elias on his Defending Democracy podcast. Elias, you may recall, famously hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS and laundered Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee funds through his law firm, Perkins Coie, in April 2016 to pay for the creation of the […]
Where I grew up, almost everyone went to public school. We had one small, private religious school in the nearby city. However, our communities were built around the K-12 buildings in our districts. We not only received our education from the public school but our identity was wrapped up in it, especially the feats and […]
Buying a car is already complicated and stressful enough. Now, in 2024, tax rules are changing once again regarding electric vehicles, and new tailpipe emission regulations may make it even more difficult to purchase a gas-powered car. The new changes, implemented through the dubiously named Inflation Reduction Act, will not make life easier for businesses […]
