A ruling from the Supreme Court on Tuesday means Missouri voters will likely go to the polls this fall under the same congressional map used two years ago, not...
SCOTUS rejects Missouri Republicans' emergency bid over congressional maps, with Justice Kavanaugh ruling without comment and leaving the GOP-backed map blocked for the midterms.
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. Unfortunately, much of the public relations work is turning out to be “all hat and no cattle” as they say in Texas — particularly when […]
My disillusionment with politics began in 2005. I was interning at the White House, fresh off George W. Bush’s reelection, which also saw the GOP claim the Senate and House. Optimism was in the air, at least for conservatives, but it didn’t last. The Iraq War soon took a very dark turn, and Hurricane Katrina […]
Those of us who grew up in the 1980s are apt to associate the teen movie with other hallmarks of that decade’s culture, such as big hair, the Walkman, or Trump: The Game. Yet a new book demonstrates that the genre neither began nor ended with the Reagan administration. For better or for worse, movies […]
“My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years.” The speaker was Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The occasion was his testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health. “Wearing a wearable” is a goofy phrase in itself, and to the uninitiated, it’s almost nonsense.

Professional sports: Fun for the whole family, assuming the family is rich or just watching from home. The surge in ticket prices for live sports has made it costlier for fans to go to games in recent years, and especially costly for fans with families. From 1999 to 2020, the price of tickets to sporting events has grown more than twice […]
Caitlin Clark has the strangest job in professional sports right now. She’s the most popular player in a league where most of her coworkers can’t stand her. You see it in the numbers. The fans voted her first for the All-Star Game with over 1 million votes. The players ranked her ninth among guards. Not […]
With the One Big Beautiful Bill Act now law, there could be a spike in consumer energy bills in states represented by Republicans and handouts to blue-state residents. That’s terrible news for everyday Americans and for members of the GOP hoping to hold on to their narrow majority in the Senate. However, it could have […]
