President Trump's second attempt at an executive order limiting birthright citizenship was blocked by a federal judge, who said the president was trying to eat away at citizenship for some of the people the Supreme Court just ruled were entitled to it.
The Pentagon's new mandatory testosterone deficiency screening for troops ages 30 and up includes mandatory blood tests and voluntary hormone replacement therapy for men.
Let us not mince words. The plot of Dune: Part Two is so arcane, so shamelessly ridiculous, that to describe it is to risk discrediting the project. A messianic figure roams a planet teeming with psychotropic dust. Drowned worms excrete a magic potion. Christopher Walken is emperor of the galaxy. By rights, both the new […]
Saddam Hussein’s 24-year rule over Iraq comprised an almost singular reign of megalomania, mass slaughter, gangsterism, kleptocracy, and national self-destruction. Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi was more cartoonish, Syria’s Bashar al-Assad might yet rack up a higher body count, and the Kims of North Korea actually got their hands on nukes. But there hasn’t really been […]
“Tell us about your collection so far. … What do you know about these watches? Do you know why this one is sought after? If you were going to sell it, not that you would, but how much do you think it would sell for? Why should we sell this to you instead of the […]
Lauren Oyler’s No Judgment is the kind of book that comes with certain quality assurances that read like wine-tasting notes. The essays contained therein will “bring to mind” the oaky aromas of Sontag, the citrusy tang of Kael, and the sharp chocolate hints of Terry Castle. And like real tasting notes, the promised sensations may […]
When it comes to trash TV, there are two types of men. A few months back, I met one of the first kind — the ones who open their heart to the complexities of unscripted television unapologetically, who dive in headfirst to the raw emotion, the heartache, the unbridled joy that comes from watching hysterical […]
Joke as you may about hippie liberal cities being godless, but it just so happens to be true, at least as far as the residents of those cities are concerned. Seattle, Washington, is evidently the most godless city in the country, something you could probably guess from the drug overdose deaths, regular riots, and tolerance […]
As Donald Trump seeks a vice president for his 2024 presidential run, he could do far worse than look at J. Danforth “Dan” Quayle as a model. Quayle deserves study for two reasons, one practical and one cautionary. First, he balanced the ticket and compensated for his running mate’s weaknesses. Second, he is a warning […]
Ring Lardner was one of America’s finest sports columnists. His work appeared in more than 100 newspapers and was consumed by millions of faithful readers. His admirers included authors such as H.L. Mencken, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Virginia Woolf. He also wrote short stories (“Haircut,” “Gullible’s Travels”), plays (Elmer, the Great, June Moon), poems, Zigfield […]
My brother sent me this text recently: “Please call ASAP.” This is the kind of message you only send someone when you have urgent, and probably bad, news. It is not the kind of message you send someone when you need the name of the place we went to that one time that had those […]
Despite being a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and one-time Super Bowl winner, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce says the biggest moment of his life happened off the field. “I won’t forget the Eagles Christmas party in 2014,” Kelce said at a press conference announcing his retirement from football last week. “Heading out afterward with a […]
