Covering up may give the maskaholics a false sense of security — but they could breathe more easily if they’d just face the facts.

Fears of Recession Are Everywhere Except at the White House
With prices soaring, labor shortages, the Ukraine war raging, supply-chains snarled and interest rates now set to rise, fears of a looming recession are everywhere. Except, of course, at the White House — which is in utter denial. Just as it was over inflation.
Suspect Frank James Was Spewing Racist Hate Well Before Brooklyn Shooting
Whatever his psychiatric issues, James sounds very much like other ideologically fixated, identity-obsessed killers who have emerged since the BLM-Antifa racial movement of 2020 and the hate speech it unleashed. He espoused the rancid, racist ideology of black supremacy, once known officially as “black identity extremism,” which we have been assured by the FBI and other legal experts doesn’t exist.
The Biden Family Scheme Unravels
If the grand jury in Delaware investigating Hunter Biden’s business ventures does its job properly, it will be pulling on the threads that lead to the president, and already there are signs that is happening.
America Is Still Paying the Price for Hillary’s Treachery
Clinton lost the election and Robert Mueller’s special counsel probe came up empty, yet the collusion narrative lives on among major elements of the political left. To judge from the tumultuous years since, many of those who subscribe to her lie are using it as a license to try to destroy America. Tragically, they are having a good deal of success.
Black Lives Matter Is Just Another Racket
Like the most fraudulent pastors, the heads of BLM take advantage of good people. They present an undeniably good cause. They prey on people’s hopes and fears. After all, who in America does not believe that black lives matter? Who wouldn’t have sympathy with, or support, a group that claims to want to help people fight injustice? But BLM operates like all rackets do.
Biden’s Inflation Will Doom Dems in November
Rich Lowry: Elevated inflation represents a trifecta of doom for incumbent presidents.Does it affect the lives of people in a discernible way that they will notice no matter what the president says or the media cover? Yes. Does it cut the pay of workers, unless there are steep increases in wages? Yes. Does it make the president seem powerless to control events? Yes.
Oscars Will Police How Diverse You Are, But Violence Is OK
All the codes Smith violated last night — aside from decency and humanity — were put in place by the Academy post-#MeToo. Apparently the rules don’t apply if the victim happens to be another black man.
Biden’s Putin Speech in Poland Was a Catastrophe
What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.” In the context of the speech and the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians, it’s impossible to understand that line as anything other than a call for regime change.
The Republicans Need to Move on From Trump
Rich Lowry: The party should be entering a new, more discretionary phase in its relationship with Trump. The best argument for him once he was nominated in 2016 was that he was the only alternative to Hillary Clintonand in 2020 that he was the only alternative to Joe Biden. That isn’t the case now.
Biden’s Ballyhooed NATO Summit Won’t Do a Thing to Help Ukraine
Want a reason Putin never invaded anything underTrump’s presidency? Simple: Russia had no idea how the Donald would respond. And that was the beauty of Trump’s foreign-policy philosophy — peace through strength but with a splash of ambiguity. Then there is Biden. In nearly every instance, Biden has told the world exactly everything he was going to do.
It’s Time for Biden to Back Up His Words and Be a Real Leader
Biden’s continuing refusal to let Poland supply its 28 unused MiG fighter jets is a good example of restraint that makes no sense. His claim that the move would be escalatory because the jets could be seen as offensive weapons simply doesn’t hold water.
How Jussie Smollett Stamped on the Grave of Emmett Till
Piers Morgan: The Oscars are nearly upon us again, but we already have a winner in the Best Actor category. Jussie Smollett’s clenched-fist courtroom impression of Nelson Mandela was better than anything Idris Elba did in the movie about South Africa’s great man.
Conservative EU Countries Facing Pressure to Turn Woke
It is hard to believe in the middle of a huge humanitarian crisis, the European Parliament voted last week to slap millions of dollars in economic sanctions on the former Communist countries as punishment for refusing to go along with so-called EU “values.” Their sin is to have conservative populist governments that rejected open border and LGBTQ policies imposed by Brussels.
America Tried Exporting Woke Education and the U.K. Fought Back
Unhappiness at the American School in London has been brewing for some time. Expat parents have been complaining increasingly bitterly in recent years. The school charges $43,763 a year, per student. For this, parents say that the school is teaching children all the usual American neoracism about “white privilege,” “white fragility” and the like.
The Left Says That We’re Racists to Care About Ukraine
Just when you think the far left can’t get any more far-out, along comes their hot take on Ukraine: Our reaction, and all media coverage, is racist. Yes, even Putin’s genocidal invasion of a peaceful neighbor, and the evolving threat of World War III, must be viewed through America’s racist past.
Putin Slithered into Ukraine as Biden Dithered
It’s not a coincidence that Putin made his move against Ukraine soon after the Afghanistan debacle. If he succeeds, Biden’s record on the world stage will be 0-2, and there won’t be any doubts about who lost Ukraine.
Biden Should’ve Had a Churchill Moment, But He Blew It at SOTU
This was a moment to explain what’s at stake in Russia’s war against Ukraine, why it matters to us and our democracy and why it makes our own divisions and culture wars look petty and insignificant in comparison.
Biden’s Unserious State of the Union Speech
President Biden’s State of the Union speech was nothing but bumbling hypocrisy on Ukraine, police, border security and government spending.
Trump Should Forget the 2020 Election “Steal” and Seize the Opportunity Now
Had he conceded defeat before Jan. 6th, he would now have a clearer path to a second term, especially in light of Biden’s disastrous performance. Instead, too much of Trump’s focus is still fixed on the past at a time when Americans desperately want, and the world needs, a leader for the future.
Trump’s Putin Praise Is Morally Bankrupt
Rich Lowry: On the cusp of Putin’s act of naked aggression against the sovereign country of Ukraine, the most important Republican in the country praised the Russian autocrat for his “genius.”…It would have been a shoddy performance from a backbench congressman or a commentator, but Trump is the former leader of the free world.
Biden Presidency Has Made the U.S. Look Weaker to Putin
Weak, inept, confused, tired, clutching a note card like an unprepared student: That’s how Biden is, and that’s certainly how Putin sees him. Long before our president invited a Ukrainian invasion by suggesting a “minor incursion” would be fine, Vladimir Putin had his number. If anything stops him, it won’t be fear of the wrath of Joe Biden.
America’s Trucker Convoy Could Become the Next Tea Party
Think of it this way: Tea Party = no taxation without representation. Truckers = no vaccination without self-authorization.
Republicans Stand for Everything America Needs Now
Nikki Haley: We stand for keeping classrooms open and empowering families to choose the school that’s best for them. And we stand for ending critical-race-theory curricula and anything else that imparts discrimination and instructs kids that some of them are oppressors and others victims simply because of their skin color.
