Minneapolis faces escalating anti-ICE protests following fatal shooting of protester Renee Good, with federal agents investigating church disruption and fraud scandal.
President Biden used to joke with younger voters that they'll forget all about him once he is out of office. Soon, all of America could be asking, "Joe who?" because of President Trump's full-scale assault on his predecessor's legacy.
President Trump sent a message to Norway's prime minister saying he no longer feels "an obligation to think purely of peace" because he didn't receive the Nobel Peace Prize and only U.S. control of Greenland can ensure global security.
Handed down on the last day of June, the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA was the most important of the term. The court’s six Republican-appointed justices, in an opinion by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, ruled that district court judges can no longer issue universal or nationwide injunctions. Such injunctions exploded in the first […]
Society is backward. That impression is more intuitive than concrete, except when examining the modern posture toward parenthood. Then, statistics speak for themselves. For example, “By a ratio of nearly 50:1, women choose to terminate a pregnancy rather than place that child for adoption.” Researchers Ryan Hanlon and Elizabeth Kirk explain as much in an […]
In one of the earlier chapters of historian Walter A. McDougall’s recently compiled volume The Gems of American History: A Lecturer’s Art, we are treated to a pregnant aside. McDougall describes a 1790s letter exchange between Charles Thomson, “spy master and eminence grise of the American Revolution,” and President George Washington. Thomson apparently suggested to […]
We are six months into Donald Trump’s presidency, and the war that he had pledged to end “within 24 hours” is raging as fiercely as ever. After all his talk of walking away from forever wars, Trump has backtracked, sending Patriot missiles to Ukraine, threatening Russian President Vladimir Putin with 100% tariffs and, according to […]
The European Union has no designated capital, but everyone in Europe knows the EU’s unofficial headquarters is in Brussels, home to the EU’s bureaucracy and parliament. Not everyone knows that Brussels is the unofficial headquarters of three of the Muslim Brotherhood’s six pan-European organizations. The Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations, the European […]
“The thing about zebras,” my safari guide said, “is that they always look a little fat. But that’s just gas. Zebras are full of gas.” I am on a 10-day safari trip in Botswana, and so far I have learned that enough baboons can take down a leopard and that zebras are flatulent. I have […]
Military humor is often crude and sometimes too terrible to explain in detail in the hallowed pages of this fine, family-friendly magazine. Nevertheless, gross humor that would disturb many civilians is an important part of the military. So, in the spirit of conveying to you, faithful reader, a better sense of the military life, the […]
Like most reality TV shows, like most TV shows, like most storytelling, period, TLC’s My 600-lb Life depends on a certain predictable, unchanging format. But the specific way in which this one expresses its repetitiveness is uniquely depressing. The pattern approximately mirrors the tradition of celebrating Fat Tuesday just before Lent in cities like New […]
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is incapable of getting his employees to show up to the office more than two days a week. This is an indictment of his leadership and reveals a flaw that should be fatal to his presidential aspirations. It is also an indictment of the California Democratic Party, which has shown itself […]
In 2003, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland introduced the concept of fast zombies to popular culture with their apocalypse film 28 Days Later. In 2025, I have finally forgiven them for it. 28 Years Later comes 23 years after the release of 28 Days Later. If you’re confused by the titling format, just […]
The campus novel may have its origins in the early 1950s with Mary McCarthy’s satire The Groves of Academe and Kingsley Amis’s comic caper Lucky Jim, but for many contemporary readers, the genre is best defined by Donna Tartt’s 1992 Gothic murder mystery The Secret History. That book inspired a raft of college-set thrillers, most […]
Most lives would be more than adequately covered by biographies released when the subject was 67 and 72. Clint Eastwood is not most people. He’s directed 17 films since that latter biography was published, more than many directors make in their entire lives. Eastwood, at 94, was almost certainly the oldest director to helm a Hollywood […]
