AG James’ Trump obsession: Letters to the Editor — Sept. 7, 2026

Post readers discuss New York AG Letitia James’ aide allegedly ordering staff to target people associated with President Trump — and her Michigan counterpart saying Jews “have a moral...

We're all sick of influencers invading and spoiling everything — including live sports —...

Meta lost $16.7 billion. You just lost your digital privacy

It’s easy to feel a certain schadenfreude over news of Meta’s $16.7 billion settlement with almost every state attorney general. Sometimes bad things happen to bad corporations. It’s hard not to cheer. For years, Meta has largely gone unchecked as it employed a business model that basically amounted to psychologically manipulating people through Skinnerian principles […]

I’m in the cannabis business. Don’t believe the hemp lobby’s flip-flop on ‘gas station weed’ 

It’s not often in Washington, D.C. that a special interest group directly contradicts itself, but the Hemp Roundtable did just that.  In 2022, the Associated Press exposed how chemists were chemically processing CBD extracted from hemp to produce delta-8 THC, an intoxicating compound. A loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill opened the floodgates to unregulated […]

The French connection

The French have had 14 constitutions since the revolution of 1789. Over the following two centuries, they organized themselves into five republics, three monarchies, three empires, and one fascist dictatorship. The current Fifth Republic was created in 1958 and is creaking alarmingly, so the odds favor a sixth soon. In the United States, meanwhile, the same Constitution has been in effect since 1789. In the United Kingdom, there is no written constitution at all, only an accumulation of law and custom.

Nothing makes Democrats more angry than the popularity of Chick-fil-A

There is nothing more endlessly frustrating to Democratic lawmakers and activists than the startling popularity of Chick-fil-A. A leader in customer satisfaction and a favorite among Generation Z, the Atlanta-based chicken sandwich peddler can't stop winning in the eyes of the public.

California prepares for more wacky 2024 laws

Another year, another chance for California Democrats to show just how wacky they are and how far away their “California model” should be kept from any level of power outside the Golden State.

People just don’t trust an increasingly partisan corporate media

You may think that the corporate media are full of Democrats based on their biased coverage of most topics and the incestuous relationship between media outlets and Democratic staffing offices. You would be right, but now, there is a number you can tie to that analysis: 3.4%.

David Mamet’s life in Hollywood

Since the dawn of movies, major writers have been seduced, cajoled, and otherwise enticed to pull up stakes for Hollywood. There, the routine goes like this: Previously autonomous authors submit themselves to tyrannical studio bosses and egomaniacal directors, churn out screenplays that may or may not reach the screen in versions that may or may not reflect their intentions, and get paid large sums in the process.

All these year-in-review round-ups are just making mental health worse

The up-close view of all the world’s chaos delivered straight to our screens is insanely unprecedented. And insanely stressful.

Iran declares war on US in Red Sea (and beyond) — as Biden does nothing

President Biden refuses to face the fact that Tehran will blow up the world to obtain regional hegemony.

If Nikki Haley can’t handle Democratic gotchas, how will she survive a presidential debate?

The Civil War was fought because the Southern states wanted to preserve the institution of slavery and their governments feared that the federal government, under Abraham Lincoln, would end slavery.

DeSantis adds another win to his resume against politicized teachers unions

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has done just about everything Republicans could want from a president over the past few years. Now, that includes combatting one of the worst political influences on the country over the past five years: teachers unions.

California’s fast-food minimum wage hike is already getting people fired

California’s minimum wage hike for fast food workers is throwing hundreds out of their jobs already, and the law doesn’t come into effect until April.

The holiday rush to get Trump: Is it equal justice?

THE HOLIDAY RUSH TO GET TRUMP: IS IT EQUAL JUSTICE? The federal court system does not move at lightning speed at any time of the year, and certainly not in late December. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is working overtime through Christmas and New Year, pushing to decide some of the complex and difficult issues involved in special counsel Jack Smith's criminal case against former President Donald Trump. The judges act as if they are racing the clock — and they are. Why? Because if they don't act fast, Smith will have no chance to realize his goal of trying, convicting, and jailing Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, before the 2024 election.

The conservative pin-up calendar is harmless kitsch, not pornography

In the dumbest possible online nontroversy that has been branded #Calendargate, a handful of conservatives — and disproportionately, conservative women — are apoplectic over a calendar featuring photoshoots of various right-wing bloggers and "influencers." Meant to lampoon the leftist notions that men can be women and that anorexia and obesity are considered beautiful by Hollywood and the corporate media, the "Real Women of America" 2024 calendar operates as one-part pin-up and another a (not so subtle) advertisement for the creator, "Conservative Dad," and his Ultra Right Beer.

TikTok suppression study is another reason to ban the app

That the TikTok app collects reams of personal data on everyone who uses it and that Chinese law obliges TikTok’s parent company to share all of the data with the Chinese Communist Party are established facts.

At year’s end, donate to charity — it does a lot more good than government
