Judge Todd Edelman's ruling prevents the Justice Department from refiling charges against Hearn, who was accused of damaging the pool’s peeling coating.
“Reform prosecutors” are starting to flounder in California, exposing just how unpopular criminal justice reform is in reality once it moves past the half-baked platitudes of the campaign cycle. Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price will soon be facing a recall election, with the Alameda Registrar of Voters confirming that recall supporters secured enough signatures. […]
It’s no secret that we live in a polarized world. Even if you ignore politics (good luck trying that), you’d also have to ignore entertainment news (exes or coworkers squabbling), sports news (rivals or teammates bickering), and social media (dislikes, trolls, goofs gone viral) to escape polarization. But one impressive group is trying to ratchet […]
April means Tax Day, a yearly reminder that most people don’t like our tax code. As a recent Tax Foundation poll found, people don’t understand it either. With a looming tax battle on Capitol Hill, the need for tax policy education has never been higher. We shouldn’t let tax education end with Tax Day. The public […]
For the longest time, it was generally assumed that high-turnout elections would benefit the Democratic Party. But recent polling and election data suggest that this conventional thinking is disconnected from reality. According to a recent poll of the 2024 presidential election, those who had voted in multiple elections since 2018 were more likely to vote […]
Fascism is alive and well in Belgium, as the mayor of Brussels has opted to suppress an assembly of conservative academics, politicians, and commentators. The National Conservatism Conference started on Tuesday with a who’s who roster of prominent conservatives from all over Europe. British politicians Suella Braverman and Nigel Farage, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, […]
Democrats, and the opinion-makers who support them, just can’t seem to figure out why voters are still sour on the Biden economy. Writing for New York Magazine, Jonathan Chait made the case that “Paul Krugman Is Right About the Economy, and the Polls Are Wrong.” “One of the most uncomfortable arguments to make in America […]
The past week has illustrated that “pro-Palestinian” protesters aren’t just delusional enough to think they are protesting against a “genocide.” They are also delusional enough to think that they are above the law in every way. Demonstrators in Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Oakland, California, illegally blocked traffic on Monday, protesting against Israel after Iran […]
In 1797, a year after revolutionary France abolished paper money following a disastrous inflationary experiment, U.S. President John Adams delivered a warning on government debt. “The consequences arising from the continual accumulation of public debts in other countries ought to admonish us to be careful to prevent their growth in our own,” Adams told Congress. […]
Pro-abortion zealots make very emotional and inflammatory arguments about the necessity of abortion. They often try to appeal to emotion to manipulate public opinion to favor legalizing abortion. Anecdotes and declarations of the impending widespread death of women and mothers everywhere are the core tenets of their arguments. Other hypothetical scenarios to justify killing the […]
Sometimes, a person enters the public spotlight and is such an embodiment of an established stereotype that it seems impossible for him or her to be a real person. If Tom Wolfe wanted to capture the essence of arrogant, alienated progressivism, he would reject NPR’s new CEO, Katherine Maher, as too unbelievably on point. The […]
Does Whoopi Goldberg know anything about history? It’s a question to ask on most days that Goldberg comments on The View. Yet, after her statements last week about Republicans and slavery, it’s enough to make one wonder whether she actually knows history or if she has become so radicalized and brainwashed that she makes comments […]
Now more than ever, the internet is an informational battleground. What should be a thriving marketplace for speech is being tainted constantly by threats of censorship from bureaucrats with their own agenda. One key ideal of many Republican supporters is the belief that the government has no business interfering with our First Amendment rights to […]
