Crime in Oakland is even closing profitable businesses

Crime in some liberal cities has become so bad that thefts are leading retail chains to close businesses and warn about the consequences of organized retail thefts. But you know crime is particularly bad when a business closes an otherwise profitable location out of concerns for safety. In-N-Out is closing its only location in Oakland, […]

High Infidelity: Nikki Haley’s alleged extramarital affairs taint her image

Allegations that former Gov. Nikki Haley engaged in extramarital affairs resurfaced this week as the Republican primary dwindled to two candidates. Haley and former President Donald Trump are the last two Republicans standing, with Trump holding a commanding lead the rest of the way. At this point, it seems unlikely that Haley’s reported trysts will […]

The voters in both parties are masochists

The results from Iowa and the anticipated results from New Hampshire indicate that the motivated voters for both parties are masochists. This has been obvious among the GOP, whose voters have chosen the path of most resistance by backing former President Donald Trump. Trump rolled over for health bureaucrats and the “Swamp” he railed against […]

Oakland now charging businesses for getting robbed

“It is literally the definition of kicking someone when they are down,” Andres Giraldo Florez, owner of the Snail Bar in Oakland, California, told City Council candidate Chris Moore after Oakland police gave Florez an invoice for responding to a call that his store had been robbed. “They came one hour after we got robbed,” […]

Javier Milei exposes Davos jet set’s catch-22

When Argentine President Javier Milei scolded panjandrums at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, it brought to mind a central passage in Christopher Hitchens’s Hitch-22 in which the late Anglo-American writer confronted contradictions between his socialism, which was creaking by then, and his instinctive, humane liberalism. The incandescence of Milei and Hitch illuminates […]

And just like that, Trump calls DeSantis a ‘great person’

Like sand through the hourglass, so too is the retraction of insults of former President Donald Trump. After criticizing, demeaning, bullying, and insulting Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Trump called him a “great person” less than 24 hours after DeSantis dropped out of the Republican presidential primary and endorsed Trump.  “Before we begin, I’d like to […]

Trump’s track to victory began when train derailed

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — The sleet and rain were unforgiving here on Feb. 22, 2023, the day former President Donald Trump came to this small Columbiana County village. Despite the weather and concerns about what was in the air or what kind of chemical was lurking in the pools of mud they were walking in, folks […]

See you in 2028, Ron DeSantis

With Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) presidential campaign ending, the obvious question is what comes next for him. The most likely answer is a 2028 presidential campaign. It is impossible to know who will be in contention for the 2028 GOP nomination. When that race starts in 2027, three years will have passed. New GOP stars […]

Saltburn has no (tell-tale) heart

“You might know me from Saltburn, not from seeing the film, just from seeing the TikToks,” heartthrob Jacob Elordi said during a Saturday Night Live monologue over the weekend. “If you saw the movie with your parents,” he adds, “I’m sorry.” Saltburn is perhaps 2023’s buzziest film, recently garnering acclaim at the Critics’ Choice Movie […]

Can diplomacy reform dictators? Their children hold the clue

Forty-five years ago, Andrew Young, a civil rights icon whom President Jimmy Carter appointed as his ambassador to the United Nations, resigned. His sin? Meeting with the Palestine Liberation Organization. At the time, there were red lines. Some dictators and all terrorists were so repellent that they were beyond the pale. Times changed. Within the State […]

At least Republican voters were given a choice

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) suspended his presidential campaign on Sunday, just days before New Hampshire’s primary election. It was the right call. After Iowa’s caucuses, in which DeSantis trailed behind former President Donald Trump by more than 30 points, it was not a matter of if DeSantis would have to drop out, but when. Still, […]
