Joe Biden Won’t Go Away

You’d think that after such a humiliating end to his hapless presidency, Biden would willingly fade into the gloaming in Delaware, avoiding attention as much as possible. But no, Obama’s one-time veep keeps drawing attention to himself, not so much by bouncing back into the public eye as by rolling across our vision like a thick incoming fog.

The White George Floyd

There has been another death in police custody, that of an 18-year-old white Brit Henry Nowak. He was out one evening in Southampton, England, when he got into an altercation with Vickrum Digwa who stabbed Nowak. When the police arrived, Nowak was bleeding out, but the officers, prompted by Digwa’s claim that he had been racially abused, put the dying man in handcuffs.

Colbert’s Demise, By the Numbers

Many are buying into a ridiculous narrative that President Donald Trump, after literally thousands of attacks from Colbert for more than a decade, suddenly ordered his show taken off the air. But let’s remove the noise and get to the numbers, because therein lies the reason Colbert will no longer occupy the Ed Sullivan Theater.

The Robber Baron Long Island Rail Road Strike

What the MTA should be offering the unions is a wage increase of zero. Compensation for workers on the LIRR is the highest in the United States transit system, driven by the monopoly power of a strong union in a state controlled by far-left Democrats who kowtow to unions to win votes in elections. The average base salary for an LIRR employee is roughly $120,000 to $130,000.

The MAHA Movement Is a Good One

It is important to note that the leader of the movement is an example of good health. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is leading by example. Clearly, he hits the gym often and shows that hard work pays off

Newsom’s Diaper Program and California’s Incestuous Relationship with Nonprofits

Newsom announced that the California government is partnering with the nonprofit Baby2Baby to use taxpayer dollars to provide families with 400 “free” diapers for their newborns. This is the governor’s attempt to claim that he is making California more affordable for families, after years of his policies made the state far less affordable for families.

The LA Fires Are Just the Latest Example of Left-Wing Violence

The man arrested and charged with setting the fires that eventually burned down the Palisades is Jonathan Rinderknecht. Now, federal prosecutors are saying that Rinderknecht was overcome by hatred of the rich and was obsessed with Luigi Mangione, the alleged left-wing terrorist accused of killing UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson in cold blood.

The Young, Violent Political Left

This third assassination attempt on Trump within the past two years is not the only example of violent assaults by leftist or progressive Democrats. There’s the 2017 wounding of Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) — then the House majority whip — by a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The Left’s Embrace of Political Violence

The most disturbing part about suspected White House Correspondents’ Association dinner gunman Cole Allen’s manifesto is that it is indistinguishable from what has become commonplace rhetoric of the Democratic Party and the wider Left.

“White Supremacy” Was a Leftist Scam

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a malignant organization that smears decent conservatives, has been caught financing the KKK and other extremists to stoke racist activities. It then fraudulently used the outrages it ginned up to con donors out of money to keep its “anti-racism” fight going.

Earth Day’s Flawed Premise

It’s Earth Day, and the Left has one mission — no, not to save the environment, but to make you feel terrible about yourself, especially as an American. Every April 22, we are invited to feel guilty for driving, flying, eating meat, having children, and existing as a prosperous, industrial civilization.

Universities Cannot Survive as Left-Wing Echo Chambers

Trust in higher education is near an all-time low, and a new Yale University report suggests colleges have only themselves to blame. In addition to problems such as high prices and declining academic standards, the report highlighted that many universities have become “intellectual and ideological echo chambers, out of touch with the American nation and out of step with its political currents.”

Trump Is Losing His Mind

Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

Pope Leo Attacked Trump First

An honest assessment of the feud, free of pearl-clutching hysteria, requires an objective review of the pope’s rhetoric. To understand the tension between the Vatican and the White House, one must go back to at least October when Leo attacked Trump over illegal immigration enforcement operations in the U.S.

Pope Leo Can’t Have It Both Ways

The two people in the world who should feel most obliged to be thoughtful and restrained in their public statements are the president of the United States and the pope. But neither of the current incumbents seems willing or able to rise above his immediate political impulses as is necessary to protect the institution he leads.

Reform, Don’t Trash, NATO

Trump’s complaint that European allies have freeloaded on American security guarantees has merit. But the United States has also oscillated between demanding greater burden sharing and resisting European strategic autonomy, leading to complaints on the continent.

Trump Haters Clutch at Their Pearls

Responding to Trump’s recent megaphone diplomacy, Dems seized on the Constitution’s 25th Amendment,  None of those brandishing this constitutional club at him genuinely thought Trump could be removed but they wanted something extreme to say while they stood in the warm glow of TV lights, and the 25th Amendment came readily to hand.
