The House GOP will not slow their sprawling investigations into the Biden administration despite the recent vote to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Fox News Digital has learned.
Biden nominated an individual previously tied to a law firm with his son to head a whistleblower office, which House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says raises concerns.
A conservative think tank's watchdog arm sent a criminal referral to the FBI and Capitol Police, among others, about New York Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman pulling a fire alarm.
Thomas Sowell is among the most prolific yet underappreciated public intellectuals of the past half-century. A University of Chicago-trained economist who has taught at schools such as Cornell and UCLA, the 93-year-old is a scholar who has been a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution since 1980 and an author who has written more than 50 books on subjects pertaining to economics, education, race, and political philosophy. The quality of his output has been even more impressive than its quantity. Light on rhetoric, seriously heavy on data, and accessible in style, there is a reason why Sowell has been described as “among the most brilliant thinkers in the world today” by Harvard University’s Steven Pinker and an “American sage” by the Wall Street Journal.
The great American filmmaker William Friedkin made movies about a police officer whose methods were scarcely discernible from criminals (The French Connection), a priest challenged on his own failings by the devil (The Exorcist), and a detective who blends in far too comfortably with the murder suspect he is pursuing (Cruising). Friedkin, who died in August at the age of 87, did not merely tell the stories of these flawed figures, but seemed to comprehend their essential universality. Each of us, Friedkin was saying, shares in the flaws that make an officer compromised, a priest doubtful, and a detective enigmatic. He spoke of his interest in what he called “the thin line between good and evil.”
In June 2021, Warner Horizon and ABC Entertainment parted ways with Chris Harrison, the longtime host of The Bachelor. Harrison’s exit, following a four-month, will-he-or-won’t-he intrigue, was directly traceable to the veteran TV personality’s failure to condemn sufficiently a contestant who had once attended an Antebellum-themed sorority party. Though Harrison asked merely that the offending young woman not be “thrown to the lions,” his remarks unfit him in an instant to continue as the show’s emcee. The takeaway? The Bachelor is decidedly not the kind of franchise one would expect to place a dead white guy in the lead.
Our country’s oldest dictionary, Merriam-Webster, added nearly 700 words to its lexicon last month, with words related to developing technology, the environment, and more. No category is as likely to be bewildering for readers over 25 as its contributions from culture (“online and offline”) and slang.
