Over on X, a podcast host named Abby Libby wrote that she only had to pay $6,000 to deliver her second son at just 33 weeks of gestation. Three months on, the mother and baby seem to be doing well. This should be considered a success story of the American healthcare system, right? According to […]
At the University of Pennsylvania, left-leaning faculty warn that ideological policing could have negative effects on the intellectual environment. Dr. Jennifer Morton, a philosophy professor at UPenn, wrote a piece this week for the New York Times on “Why Hiring Professors With Conservative Views Could Backfire on Conservatives.” Her warning comes too late, of course, […]
During recent Senate consideration of the new spending and tax bill, I had one simple mission: Stop Congress from plunging this country deeper into debt. No earmarks. No handouts. No favors. No horse trading. I asked for something radical in Washington terms: respect for the taxpayer. Meeting with Vice President JD Vance, I made it clear that I was […]
Elon Musk's Grok AI was caught spreading antisemitic talking points, musing about rape, and blaming Mossad for the death of Jeffrey Epstein, according to...
The Left’s obsession with illegal immigration is getting worse, and weirder, as it strains to resist any and all attempts to enforce immigration law. The immigration raids in and around Los Angeles have resulted in more violent actions from “protesters” and more ridiculous defenses from Democratic politicians. On the latter front, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) called President Donald Trump “scum” for a raid […]
Hollywood can never leave well enough alone. They always try to propagandize and weaponize the country’s cultural icons. This is happening again with the latest cinematic iteration of the comic book character Superman. The movie’s writer and director, James Gunn, made the superhero a symbol for immigrants amid recent federal enforcement efforts in an interview […]
A powerful opponent of school choice, the National Education Association, made a great case against itself recently by secretly deciding to refer to President Donald Trump always as a fascist. America’s biggest teachers union, a propaganda and organizational arm of the Democratic Party, hid its convention decisions, but Corey DeAngelis, senior fellow of the American […]
Boys will always have professional athletes and musicians to look up to, but as the New York Times’s Claire Cain Miller correctly notes, it is the adults that children “personally know” and see on a daily basis who have the most positive effect on children. And for boys, those role models are disappearing. Miller pieces […]
Weeks before Argentina’s November 2023 presidential election, which saw the anarcho-capitalist economist Javier Milei ascend to power, 108 leading left-wing economists, including Thomas Piketty, Jayati Ghosh, and others penned an open letter denouncing the presidential front-runner. They wrote, “while apparently simple solutions may be appealing, they are likely to cause more devastation in the real world in the […]
Nearly four years after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, America’s Afghan allies remain in limbo due to a combination of bureaucratic dawdling under the Biden administration and rapid-fire changes in policy under President Donald Trump. Among the thousands of Afghans feeling the effects of changes stateside are those who entered the country via the CBP […]
That people get the government they deserve is a cruel adage, too cruel if you live in dark places where a small minority with guns terrorizes an unarmed population — see “Cuba, socialist state of.” But in a democracy, the maxim holds firmly. Which means that if the citizens of New York City vote in […]
President Donald Trump’s efforts to streamline the federal workforce and tame the bureaucracy have hit early snags as blue-state federal district judges side with the unions challenging the president’s actions. Whether the reforms ultimately succeed will likely depend on how higher courts rule. On that score, the Supreme Court handed the administration an early victory […]
The NIH is working hard to rebrand its image after Fauci’s legacy of animal torture, risky research, and lies finally came to light and left the agency’s reputation in shambles.
