Every week political cartoonists throughout the country and across the political spectrum apply their ink-stained skills to capture the foibles, memes, hypocrisies and other head-slapping events in the world...
President Trump headlined the second and final night of the Republican's midterm convention, but Vice President J.D. Vance debuted as the party's political future. Mr. Vance, 42, delivered the penultimate speech at a convention dedicated to getting Republicans elected in the 2026 midterms.
Vice President J.D. Vance on Thursday pushed back against Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, who suggested that Mr. Vance's grandfather was a racist who would not have approved of Usha Vance because she is of Indian descent.
On Monday, shortly after Ukraine attacked the Kerch Bridge connecting the Crimean Peninsula and the Russian mainland, Russia suspended a major grain export arrangement in the Black Sea.
Professor Michael J. New has a new article out claiming that the Food and Drug Administration's decision to give a single oral contraception formula over-the-counter status will not lower abortion rates. With all due respect, not only is the overall claim suspect, as I will explain later, but he also misrepresents the data which in actuality undermines his very thesis.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser nominated Pamela Smith to become the District of Columbia's new chief of police on Monday. Former chief of the U.S. Park Police, Smith is a good choice. She's a smart leader who rose up the ranks and is respected by police officers. Smith seems to recognize the deep challenge facing Washington as it contends with rising crime.
Over the weekend, Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN), each made comments about Israel that caused significant backlash — and rightly so. Jayapal claimed that “Israel is a racist state,” while Omar said that Palestinians have experienced occupation for 75 years.
In what should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, progressive House Democrats once again spent the weekend spouting antisemitism to left-wing activists.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) faces a lawsuit for banning TikTok in state agencies and universities over its ties to China. The nature of the legal challenge is curious, considering who is bringing it forward.
On Sunday, President Joe Biden tweeted, “Right now, real wages for the average American worker is higher than it was before the pandemic, with lower wage workers seeing the largest gains. That’s Bidenomics.”
Despite the Biden administration's humiliating displays of homage to the bureaucrats in Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party may very well need the grace and favor of the West, and the United States in particular, more than we need them. Despite Chinese President Xi Jinping's hopes that relaxing China's draconian COVID lockdowns would spur economic renewal, Asian markets tumbled upon the news that Chinese economic expansion stagnated to just 6.3% on an annualized basis last quarter, falling far too short of economists' expectations.
POLITICIZE DEFENSE? NEVER! There has been a highly political battle on Capitol Hill — actually, that's the only kind of battle they have on Capitol Hill — over defense policy and spending. The fight has been on two fronts: 1) passage of the yearly National Defense Authorization Act, which sets military spending levels, and 2) a Republican senator's decision to block Senate confirmation of military promotions until the Biden Pentagon changes its policy on abortion.
