Columbia University’s decision to move classes online is inexcusable, and it does nothing to solve the university’s antisemitism problem. Columbia is moving most of its classes into a hybrid model, meaning that most in-person classes will become, at least in part, online classes. This is in reaction to antisemitic student mobs harassing Jewish students and […]
It has now been almost 50 years since the Turkish army invaded Cyprus, occupying and ethnically cleansing a third of the country. Turkish justification that their invasion was necessary to protect Turkish Cypriots rings hollow for three reasons. First, the Greek junta in Athens fell within days, ending any threat Turkish Cypriots might have felt. […]
Sometimes government expansion looks like the dangerous bulking-up of Big Brother. Sometimes it looks more niggling, merely petty interference by the nanny state. President Joe Biden’s latest intrusions are seemingly of that pettifogging, prune-faced variety rather than apparently casting the shadow of tyranny. But the truth is that Nanny works for Big Brother, building his […]
HILLARY CLINTON, DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. One of the great moments in lack of self-awareness occurred last week when former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on a podcast produced by a Democratic group called Defending Democracy on Democracy Docket. Clinton was interviewed by the Democratic lawfare warrior Marc Elias, more on that later, and spent much […]
If you’re very online, or if you’re involved in local government, you probably know some “urbanists” or some YIMBYs (Yes In My Back Yard). You might have friends or acquaintances who talk endlessly about walkability. You might follow an X account with a name like “Driving Is A Sin.” The folks who care the most […]
ESPN talk show host Stephen A. Smith backpedaled faster than an NFL cornerback covering an elite wide receiver. Smith, known on the sports network for portraying an arrogant, self-assured, self-confident braggart, is, in reality, a coward. He should consider changing his name to “Screaming A. Smith.” Look no further than Smith’s recent comments about former […]
President Joe Biden reached a blasphemous new low in his crusade for abortion on Tuesday when he made the sign of the cross at a campaign event focused on abortion in Florida. The nation’s second Catholic president made the gesture as Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for signing legislation […]
As predicted a year ago, the progressive legal movement’s breakneck race to try Donald Trump in criminal court as soon as he locked up the Republican presidential nomination, with no small help from said political prosecutions, has invited a deluge of dumbed down and dismal media coverage. Although distractions spanning from Ukraine and Gaza to […]
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is criticizing Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) visit to Columbia University, arguing he's only exacerbating divisions by showing up to speak with Jewish students. “I think politicizing this and bringing the entourage to put a spotlight on this is only adding to the division,” Hochul told reporters, per Politico. “A...
Back during the Trump years, the media spent an inordinate amount of time dissecting every last detail of this tabloid journalism fodder we’re now seeing play out in a New York City courtroom — which is meaningless to the lives of nearly every American.
