President Trump announced former deputy surgeon general Dr. Erica Schwartz as his nominee for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director.
In an era when content creators say increasingly outrageous things to stand out from the crowd and politicians must reach potential voters wherever they are, how far is too far? This past October, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts ignited a wave of resignations at the storied conservative think tank after posting a video defending Tucker […]
“Exposure to infants in the social environment,” economists Sebastian Galiani and Raul Sosa write in a recent paper, “activates neurobiological mechanisms that increase the desire for parenthood.” That is, babies are contagious. We’ve long known that. As a culture of rational sophisticates, we try to laugh off “baby fever” as an old wives’ tale. As […]
The United Nations General Assembly, led by Ghana, recently passed a resolution by a 123-3 vote declaring that the “transatlantic” slave trade was the “gravest crime” ever committed against humanity. The resolution demands “reparatory justice” for “Africans and people of African descent” due to its “scale, duration, systemic nature, and brutality.” Why focus just on the transatlantic […]
Many American progressives of different faiths, or no faith, celebrated the message delivered by Pope Leo XIV at St. Peter’s Basilica for the April 11 Prayer Vigil for Peace that, in other circumstances, they might have balked at. “Thoughts and prayers,” is shorthand for a kind of consolation after gun-related tragedies in the United States […]
Zohran Mamdani’s base are disproportionately young, educated and white, and live in trendy areas of Brooklyn — and truly believe they are New York’s downtrodden.
The trade war between the U.S. and China is turning into an MMA-style cage match. President Donald Trump just announced 100% tariffs on Chinese-made goods, while President Xi Jinping has slapped a near 100% ban on critical minerals from China into the U.S. Xi’s move makes the heart of the conflict clear: The ultimate winner […]
While Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer‘s (D-NY) shutdown rolls on, the Senate has finally started to make progress on President Donald Trump‘s judicial nominees, after they broke through the Democrats’ monthslong slow-walking. That means it’s time to encourage more older conservative and libertarian judges to take their well-deserved senior status and open up more vacancies […]
President Donald Trump tends to have little tolerance for leaders who insult or seek to manipulate him. Except, that is, when it comes to Hungary‘s prime minister, Viktor Orban. For some reason, Trump appears happy to enable Orban’s continued effort to undermine his authority and agenda. Orban hides his disdain for Trump behind only the […]
In an attempt to diminish New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani‘s momentum in the race for New York City mayor, current Mayor Eric Adams threw his support behind former Gov. Andrew Cuomo last Thursday to succeed him at City Hall. Despite Adams’s endorsement, however, Mamdani will most likely win on Nov. 4 if Republican candidate Curtis […]
Mayor Brandon Johnson has made Chicago less safe than it could be for no reason other than his fanatic obsession with race. His warped racial ideology views police responding to minority communities as racist, but minorities being shot and bleeding out on the streets as acceptable. A girl was shot and killed in an alley in Chicago […]
Sports betting is in the news again, as a corrupting force in American culture. Federal prosecutors charged current and former NBA players and others with fraud for rigging games and selling insider information. But even if the recent massive increase in online betting didn’t entwine the Mafia with professional athletes, we should be appalled that […]
“America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism,” Mahmood Mamdani, the father of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, once told an audience, explaining that Abraham Lincoln “generalized the solution of reservations” and inspired the Nazis, who apparently learned from the American president that genocide was “doable” and that you can “differentiate […]
The employees of the Department of Homeland Security and officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are making America great again. They never receive the necessary or appropriate recognition for making communities safer and protecting the country’s citizens. First, they had risked their lives by being in harm’s way when apprehending violent criminals. Now, they risk […]
