Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) almost looks like a centrist now. That would have been a strange thing to say eight years ago, when she knocked off Rep. Joe Crowley, then the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, and became the face of a new left flank that made party leaders nervous. She and the rest of […]
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who died unexpectedly on Saturday at age 71, was an unlikely GOP leader in the age of President Donald Trump. Graham could easily have become irrelevant once Trump became the unquestioned head of the Republican Party. The South Carolina senator was a top ally of longtime Sen. John McCain. They and […]
The outwardly cheery, wholesome Zohran Mamdani has employed ruthless hardball tactics to rocket himself from back-bench obscurity to Gracie Mansion’s doorstep.
There are two paths forward for the conservative movement. One is the bravery and faithfulness of Charlie Kirk, and the other is the cowardice of Tucker Carlson, who recently promoted Nazi podcast guest Nick Fuentes. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts chose the latter path in a bizarre, contradictory video defending Carlson and his softball interview […]
As politicians prepare to jet into Belém, Brazil, for the 30th annual UN climate meeting, philanthropist Bill Gates has provided a straightforward insight.
It seems grimly appropriate to be writing about the baleful legacy of the pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein on Halloween because, like an unusually well-heeled Mike Myers, Epstein’s corrosive influence has not only survived his death in 2019, but continues to grow in new and unexpected ways. Earlier this year, Lord Mandelson, the British ambassador to […]
“The Department of Justice is charging [me] with federal crimes for exercising [my] First Amendment rights.” That’s how the left-wing influencer turned Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh is spinning things after getting hit with federal charges this week related to an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement Chicago-area protest she participated in on Sept. 26. ‘GOTTA CATCH […]
From the Kyoto Protocol to the Paris Agreement to MARPOL Annex VI, the United Nations has a troubling track record of advancing harmful climate frameworks that sideline American interests. The United States should not tolerate yet another radical agreement that puts global bureaucracy ahead of our economic security. Earlier this month, a group of unelected […]
For years, some of the loudest voices in the conservative-adjacent influencer class have been defiantly declaring that we are on the brink of a civil war. It now turns out that they were right, but instead of the civil war being of a political, cultural, or religious nature between the Right and the Left, we’re […]
In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus says, “There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who have no need of repentance.” Bill Gates’s recent Damascene conversion after 20 years of climate alarmism brought this to mind. He wrote that Earth’s mildly heating atmosphere “will not lead to humanity’s […]
It’s been an uncharacteristically slow news week for President Donald Trump’s second term. (It’s a very high bar) But we may soon view this week as among the most consequential of his presidency, especially as it relates to the future of the conservative movement. WOKE RIGHT, BROKE RIGHT — LEARNING FROM THE SELF-DESTRUCTION OF THE […]
Most Americans say restaurants are getting too expensive, and they’re not imagining things. “Following seven consecutive months of solid gains,” the National Restaurant Association noted, prices rose slightly in September, and now “menu prices have risen 3.7% since September 2024.” At full-service, sit-down restaurants, the hike is even higher, up 4.2% year-over-year, according to the […]
