1998—At a fundraiser for its political action committees, the National Organization for Women auctions off a gift provided to it by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,…
It was FIFA’s corruption that stunned people, not President Donald Trump’s. The chief executive’s contempt for rules is now taken for granted. What astonished the world was that soccer’s global governing body crumbled in the face of his pressure. To recap, the American striker Folarin Balogun was sent off for jumping on the ankle of […]
New York City's upside-down justice system is sending a 67-year-old man to prison for four years for owning unlicensed guns — while rapists, stabbers...
Zohran Mamdani “pledged to address ‘repression’ on campus,” citing professors fired “for the crime of expressing solidarity with the fight for Palestinian human rights,” observes Stu...
“Name a single Brexit benefit!” People have been making the demand for ten years now, rarely in good faith. I quickly learned that the only useful response is, “Do you actually want me to list some Brexit benefits, or are you waiting for me to get three words into my answer before jumping in to […]
Just-revealed records show, in the state’s own handwriting and typeface, how stolen Jewish-owned art masterpieces were routed into public museums — and can now...

Zohran Mamdani claimed victory in New York City by taking to the stage to herald a new era for NYC: “a shining city for all.” His speech led with invoking Eugene Debs, the most prominent American socialist politician of the last century, before anyone knew of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). […]
“A major error in judgment”: That’s how disgraced Clinton Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers just described his “association” with the late sex fiend Jeffrey Epstein,...
There is a very thin line between irresponsible rhetoric and mutiny, and six sitting members of Congress came perilously close to crossing it earlier this week. A mutiny doesn’t need to resemble the dramatic Mutiny on the Bounty; it can just as easily take the form of a video urging U.S. military personnel to defy […]
