University of Maryland economist Melissa Kearney has a new book out on Tuesday titled The Two-Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind.
Vice President Kamala Harris is wildly unpopular, likely because she lives in a thick liberal bubble where she is shielded from ever having to deal with reality.
It’s official: Democrats make everything worse. It was a sentiment long felt by many in the country, but after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) recent decision to nix the Senate’s dress code and, in turn, obliterate the regard, respect, and dignity of the office, Schumer and the Democrats erased any doubt about ushering in societal rot and the nation’s decline. It’s an embarrassment, and every Democratic politician should be ashamed. And that includes Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), believed to be the impetus for Schumer’s decision to eliminate the dress code.
FLORISSANT, Missouri — Eleven months ago, an independent contractor working at Jana Elementary reported finding high levels of radioactive dust on the grounds of this North St. Louis County school. Immediately, the students and their parents, a majority of whom are non-white and often economically underprivileged, were sent scrambling to figure out where else the children would be sent to classes.
THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING F-35. It was one of the weirdest stories in years. The military lost a state-of-the-art F-35 fighter jet, last seen flying pilotless over North Charleston, South Carolina, and was asking the public for help in finding the $80 million plane. As Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) asked: "How in the hell do you lose an F-35?"
In normal cities, law enforcement arrests criminals, and grocery stores stay open. In Chicago, criminals are free to do as they wish, grocery stores are run out of business, and the mayor thinks socialism is the only possible solution.
American conservatives are once again debating the fundamentals of politics. On one side, national conservatives argue the state should make us good. On the other side, a new coalition of Freedom Conservatives argues the state should make us free. Both sides can claim a rich intellectual heritage in classical, Christian, and American political thought.
Immigration is an oft-debated topic in the country’s political realm, even more so given President Joe Biden’s disastrous border security and immigration policies. It is just one of the many issues voters in the nation are divided on. Many on the Left favor any immigration, anytime, for any reason. Conversely, people on the Right support immigration so long as it is done legally and immigrants follow all the necessary rules and regulations. Despite this division, most of the country’s voters appear to agree that immigrants should “embrace American culture.”
One of the things that liberal groups, unions included, have been good at is creating a narrative and selling that to the media. A case in point is the current United Auto Workers strike, which is being presented by the union as involving a bold new strategy of targeted walkouts. Don’t believe the hype. This is a case of the union lacking the resolve to do more.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), a member of the Armed Services Committee, recently bought at least $100,000 worth of stock in Defense Department contractor Qualcomm, according to his latest financial filing.
Since the aborted June coup attempt in Russia by now-assassinated Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, the United States and the United Kingdom have been escalating their aerial surveillance of Russian, Belorussian and Wagner Group forces in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Their activity is necessary because other NATO member states either lack the capability or, as in France and Germany's case, the cost-willingness to support this intelligence effort.
