Weirdo O’Rourke
He might be the first person ever to run for the White House on a platform of asking the nation help him figure out who he is.
The College Admission Scandal Is the Perfect Populist Political Moment
Most of the talk in our politics about how “the system is rigged” is incredibly abstract and symbolic. But this is infuriatingly concrete.
Nancy Pelosi’s Threat to Free Speech
Trump shouldn’t call the media “the enemy of the people” or inveigh against Jeff Bezos for owning the Washington Post, but Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 1, which passed the House last week, is the true affront to the Constitution.
Radicalism Is on the Rise Among Democrats
Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez aim to disrupt and retool our entire economic and social system.

The Successful, Dangerous Child Sex-Change Charity
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a useful idiot for many causes. Now we can add extreme transgender ideology to the list. She appeared in a livestream to support Harry Brewis, a British gamer, who is raising $340,000 for Mermaids UK, a British charity that promotes sex changes for gender-confused children.
20 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Joe Biden
Praise for Bork and Thurmond, partial-birth-abortion-ban support, death-penalty enthusiasm, and more.
Trump Veers Off Message on the Border Wall
He should ditch the “military version of eminent domain” and order the Pentagon to start building.
Mitt Romney’s Anti-Trump Op-Ed Is Counterproductive
Ben Shapiro: By declaring Trump unfit for his office, Romney immediately forces a choice: Should he back Trump in 2020, or challenge him? Should Republicans be pushed to choose between an incumbent president and a person of more character and consistent conservative conviction.
20 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Bernie Sanders
The Vermont senator’s history of taxing hospitals, getting slapped, and IRA meetings, and his “honorary woman” status.”
Angry White People with Money
Portland and San Francisco aren’t nice. They have a reputation as wooly and hippieish and silly, but they are very angry places, full of very angry people.
The Perpetual Presidency of Barack Obama
Obama seems to believe that he, rather than Trump, should be credited with the current economic boom and the emergence of the United States as the world’s largest energy producer. But Obama also has charged that Trump’s policies are pernicious and failing.
Democrats — the Party of Snobs — Adore Beto
Some conservatives are mystified by the apparently enduring appeal of Robert Francis O’Rourke, a.k.a. “Beto,” the faux-Hispanic progressive from El Paso who failed to unseat conservative stalwart Senator Ted Cruz in spite of a flood of money and a tsunami of media adulation…There is an answer to this riddle: snobbery.

Voting for Democrats Isn’t Going to Curb Anti-Semitism

Birthright Citizenship Is a Nutty Policy and We’re Probably Stuck with It
Many of us think that in today’s world, birthright citizenship is an insane policy that undermines our sovereignty. Why reward people who come here illegally with citizenship for their kids? But conservatives also insist that the government stay within its constitutionally designated boundaries.
No One Can Say Anything
Jay Nordlinger: Apparently, Megyn Kelly was intolerable to Fox News because she noticed obvious truths about Donald Trump. Now she is apparently intolerable to NBC. I think a little more toleration all around would go a long way toward becalming and improving our country.
