Minnesota Democrat's "sarcastic" shoplifting remarks spark viral controversy after suggesting study on retail theft benefits during legislative hearing.
Earlier this month, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform during a hearing titled “Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part II.” The hearing followed the exposure of a massive child-nutrition fraud scheme tied to Feeding Our Future, widely […]
Recently, the usual suspects became very excited by what they viewed as an explosive revelation in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Justice Department, they alleged, had suppressed an account of a woman who told the FBI that when she was 13 or 14 years old, she had been repeatedly raped and abused by Epstein, who […]
I noted back in 2019 that while our European allies have some excellent warships, they refuse to invest in regularly deploying or keeping those warships at high readiness. The slothful European military response to the war in Iran further testifies to this neglect. European nations are struggling mightily to deploy even minimal forces to defend their citizens and […]
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has created a feedback loop in which he excuses or defends radical Islamists and their allies and then exploits their actions to paint himself as a perpetual victim of society, even when he isn’t the target of the hateful attacks that happen under his watch. Two people were arrested after […]
As Democrats support a deceptively worded ballot measure to create a rank partisan gerrymander in Virginia, they nevertheless claim the moral high ground, and many in the news media agree with the Democrats. Other than crying “Republicans started it,” they point to so-called “gerrymandering bans” that Democrats proposed and Republicans in Congress killed. WHAT IS […]
The following is an installment of “On This Day,” a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. March 9, 1776 Gen. George Washington sends off a lengthy […]
I was the program director of a journalism training center in Washington, D.C., a city with six professional teams and zero sports reporting gigs. That latter part is only a slight exaggeration. You’d think the home of the Capitals, Nationals, Commanders, Wizards, Mystics, and D.C. United would have plentiful opportunities for aspiring sports journalists to […]
The Michigan State Police demanded $6.8 million to process a Freedom of Information Act request from my organization in 2009. A federal inspector general had flagged problems with the agency’s spending of federal homeland security grants, so we asked for documents detailing how much money the police received and how they spent it. We thought it was […]
Former MLB star Mark Teixeira has traded his glove for a shot at Congress, securing the Republican nomination in Texas’s 21st Congressional District in a decisive political debut. Running as a political outsider and an unapologetic supporter of President Donald Trump, Teixeira now heads into the general election with momentum and a message that clearly connected […]
After disputes over the use of Anthropic’s technology in fully autonomous weapons and mass domestic surveillance, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced restrictions on Anthropic’s operations within and outside of the War Department: “In conjunction with the President’s directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic’s technology, I am directing the Department of […]
The constant attacks coming from the Left on capital markets and the wealthy are bad for America. Instead of celebrating entrepreneurs and investors as job creators bringing about public goods, they’re derided as “malefactors of great wealth,” just as they were in the time of President Teddy Roosevelt. It’s time the parasites of the public […]
President Donald Trump’s strikes against the Iranian regime, and the regime’s all-out effort to create chaos in the region in response, has disrupted global energy production and delivery. But while energy prices are rising here in the United States, they are rising far more slowly than in Europe and in Asia. The conflict with Iran […]
