Men, we need to talk. I understand dating is difficult right now. The apps are terrible, and everyone is confused. Nobody knows whether they’re dating, talking, hanging out, or...
Karishma Manzur, a hard-left candidate for New Hampshire's U.S. Senate seat, did not commit to endorsing Rep. Chris Pappas if he wins Tuesday's Democratic primary.
Everyone likes free speech until they’re the one being spoken about. No doubt the Swiss journalist Catherine Macherel was insulted when the French-Swiss racist agitator Alain Soral called her a “fat lesbian” in a Facebook video and said that her work as a “queer activist” showed that she was “unhinged.” But should Soral go to jail and pay thousands of euros in fines, as a Swiss court decided on Oct. 3?
Anti-vagrancy laws are older than the republic. County governments in England and states in America have always enjoyed the power to regulate the use and misuse of public spaces.
Thomas Sowell is among the most prolific yet underappreciated public intellectuals of the past half-century. A University of Chicago-trained economist who has taught at schools such as Cornell and UCLA, the 93-year-old is a scholar who has been a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution since 1980 and an author who has written more than 50 books on subjects pertaining to economics, education, race, and political philosophy. The quality of his output has been even more impressive than its quantity. Light on rhetoric, seriously heavy on data, and accessible in style, there is a reason why Sowell has been described as “among the most brilliant thinkers in the world today” by Harvard University’s Steven Pinker and an “American sage” by the Wall Street Journal.
The great American filmmaker William Friedkin made movies about a police officer whose methods were scarcely discernible from criminals (The French Connection), a priest challenged on his own failings by the devil (The Exorcist), and a detective who blends in far too comfortably with the murder suspect he is pursuing (Cruising). Friedkin, who died in August at the age of 87, did not merely tell the stories of these flawed figures, but seemed to comprehend their essential universality. Each of us, Friedkin was saying, shares in the flaws that make an officer compromised, a priest doubtful, and a detective enigmatic. He spoke of his interest in what he called “the thin line between good and evil.”
From the outset, the name Bidenomics lashed the president's name to economic mismanagement. It was used at first by President Joe Biden's critics to distinguish his particular brand of fiscal and monetary boneheadedness. But when the president (and no one else) was convinced by White House spin that the economy was in great shape, he wore Bidenomics as a badge of achievement. It was folly.
The Army-Navy game is one of the most prestigious rivalries in college football. And yet the U.S. Military Academy and the Naval Academy have been declared losers at the hands of the crisis at the southern border.
Our country’s oldest dictionary, Merriam-Webster, added nearly 700 words to its lexicon last month, with words related to developing technology, the environment, and more. No category is as likely to be bewildering for readers over 25 as its contributions from culture (“online and offline”) and slang.
In June 2021, Warner Horizon and ABC Entertainment parted ways with Chris Harrison, the longtime host of The Bachelor. Harrison’s exit, following a four-month, will-he-or-won’t-he intrigue, was directly traceable to the veteran TV personality’s failure to condemn sufficiently a contestant who had once attended an Antebellum-themed sorority party. Though Harrison asked merely that the offending young woman not be “thrown to the lions,” his remarks unfit him in an instant to continue as the show’s emcee. The takeaway? The Bachelor is decidedly not the kind of franchise one would expect to place a dead white guy in the lead.
Resuming border construction will help, but without a shift in the administration’s catch-and-release policies, it’s all for show, simply speeding up the rate at...
A new used car dealership in Philadelphia had quite the first week! The company went through most of its inventory just a few days after it opened! It was something the owners never expected. And it was also because the cars were stolen, not sold. As a result, the brand-new dealership might have to go out of business because of the thefts, WPVI reported. It’s a scathing indictment of the horrific criminal world that has swallowed the city.
