The new PBS Masterpiece series Marble Hall Murders is a sumptuously filmed “cozy” with an unthreatening structural complexity. The Viking Cruises crowd will eat it up with a Christofle spoon. Like its predecessors, Magpie Murders (2022) and Moonflower Murders (2024), the new show is based on a book by Anthony Horowitz, who returns here as […]
Dogs bark, ducks quack, and populists offer free stuff. Enrique Pena Nieto dispensed around 10 million TV sets to low-income Mexican households. Hugo Chavez gave Venezuelans steeply discounted refrigerators, air conditioning units, and, again, TV sets. In Argentina, Evita Peron would personally hand out children’s toys, sewing machines, clothes, and kitchenware. None of these (for once […]
During Donald Trump’s first run for the presidency, China, the economic behemoth that was gutting America’s manufacturing base and flexing its muscles in East Asia, was his favorite punching bag. Yet as Trump was seeking to reclaim the presidency after four years in the political wilderness, his new foreign target was much closer to home: […]
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy advocates for a constitutional amendment that would raise the voting age to 25 — which will only disenfranchise young Americans.
Finally, the Republican Party in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, has a candidate who can possibly lead a Republican Renaissance. Her name is Liz Ferry, she is running for county commissioner, and — like assertive congressional Republicans, such as Reps. Wesley Hunt (TX), Jim Jordan (OH), Lauren Boebert (CO), and Byron Donalds (FL) — she is not intimidated by the Left.
Social media algorithms have been in the spotlight for years for their effects on users, particularly children, but the need for “influencers” to chase views is dangerous for their mental health and for their very lives and the lives of people around them. It can even land them behind bars.
More than six years after Donald Trump proclaimed that the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation was a "witch hunt" by the deep state, special counsel John Durham has all but vindicated the former president.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) allowed itself to be weaponized for political purposes during the 2016 presidential election. That is the conclusion of Special Counsel John Durham's damning final report released Monday.
Union Station was already falling apart before COVID, thanks to the toleration of vagrancy, marijuana use, and public urination. Now, almost two years after Washington, D.C., ended its public health emergency, the 115-year-old station is only worse. It has lost over half its retailers and eateries, and foot traffic keeps declining.
Public school teachers and other culture warriors on the Left will insist that the symbols of their ascendant movement, such as the rainbow flag, pronouns in bios and introductions, and “HATE HAS NO PLACE” signs, are just simple, unobjectionable statements of tolerance and love.
Attempting to secure Russia's release of the unjustly detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and another American, Paul Whelan, the Biden administration is considering significant new concessions to Russia.
Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, prices have risen by more than 15%, and more than 5 million foreign aliens have flooded the southern border, a crisis compounded by the president's moronic push to rip up his predecessor's Safe Third Country agreements, Remain in Mexico, and Title 42.
California’s financial system, which is propped up by Democrats as the model the rest of the country should be following, is completely unsustainable. Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom is now acknowledging that fact.
