Former President Donald Trump might want to consider reopening the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City the way his luck has been holding. According to an early tabulation of his betting on the 2022 primaries, his endorsed candidates have all won or moved into runoffs.

Roe Will Not Be Missed
The Roe position, that abortion is a sacred cow that democracy cannot touch, is the credo of high-dollar Democratic donors, but it is not necessarily popular with the broader population — at least not when they are clearly informed of what Roe means. A reversal of Roe will simply restore democracy and federalism.
Can Un-American Express Be Saved from Its Wokeness Bender?
Like so many other corporations swept up in the movement to integrate social issues into its business model, AmEx has leaned into employee events pushing principles of critical race theory, which promotes the idea that the United States is an inherently racist country.
Does Being a Lesbian Make You Better at Jeopardy?
Mattea Roach has become one of the greatest Jeopardy! contestants of all time. NBC News praised Roach’s impressive accomplishments with a recent tweet, but instead of celebrating her brilliance, the tweet rejoiced over her sexual orientation. It is puzzling how NBC News would know this and why it would put that information in a tweet. Why is Roach’s sexual orientation relevant in any way?
Power of Trump Endorsement on Display in Ohio
J.D. Vance, the venture capitalist and bestselling author who remade himself from bourgeois Trump critic to populist Trump cheerleader just in time to run for Senate, picked up the former president’s endorsement this month and immediately shot to the front of a crowded pack of Republican contenders.
Tucker Carlson Calls Kevin McCarthy “Puppet” of the Democratic Party
Fox News host Tucker Carlson warned Republicans against supporting California Rep. Kevin McCarthy for House speaker if the GOP wins control of the lower chamber this fall.
Win the Culture War by Shrinking the Government
Ronald Reagan, a president many in the incoming wave of Republicans will claim to emulate, told us that “as government expands, liberty contracts.” It is time to see what happens when government shrinks.
Let the Mask Mandate Die
With the mandates now temporarily gone, people are free to wear masks, if they feel more comfortable, or not to wear them. If your desire to wear a mask on a plane is that strong, find an airline that is still enforcing the rule.
How Much Has Earth Day Cost Us?
Everyone benefits when scientists do the hard work of identifying substances that cause people harm. Unfortunately, activists often take this information too far, ignoring the benefits that many chemicals provide to humanity.
Meritocracy or Plantation? Kaepernick Can’t Make Up His Mind on How He Feels About the NFL
if things were really as bad as Kaepernick claimed, why would he want to return to the league? He accumulated millions during his football career. He earned millions more by being a brand ambassador for Nike and as a social justice advocate. If he loves playing the sport, there are other leagues Kaepernick could join…
Even the Left Is Beginning to Admit It Has Pushed Transgenderism Too Far
Transgender orthodoxy has moved so far past the bounds of sanity that any attempt to question its effects is quickly discouraged and punished. We are expected to shut up and accept that public schools are passing policies to keep students’ gender identity transitions from parents, and that medical professionals can file to remove children from their parents’ custody if parents oppose physical and chemical transition efforts None of this is normal or even remotely defensible, and everyone, including many on the Left, know it.
End the Travel Mask Mandate Now
What little science there is on the subject shows that airborne disease transmission is not more likely on an airplane than it is indoors, where the CDC has already said masks are no longer needed. If anything, with all the fresh air brought into planes and all the filtering of recycled air, a plane is safer than the average building.
Americans Turn Back on Disney After LGBTQ Embrace
Nearly 7 in 10 Americans, upset with Disney’s embrace of the LGBTQ movement, no longer want to do “business” with Mickey Mouse and instead will seek out “family-friendly alternatives,” according to a new survey.
CNN’s Brian Stelter Gets Everything Wrong About Disney and the Midterm Elections
CNN’s media critic, whose only job is to attack conservative media, doesn’t understand, or pretends not to understand, the nature of this fight or why the Democratic Party is so unpopular right now. Maybe the midterm elections will bring him and CNN back to reality.
Jen Psaki Should Resign
The White House press secretary should have resigned last week when this news broke. This is an unprecedented breach of public ethics. Unfortunately, most of Psaki’s colleagues in the press briefing room seem to be OK with it. Psaki’s move and the media’s nonchalant apathy about it explain so much about what is wrong with the incestuous nature of the Washington media’s relationship with the Biden White House.
Biden Has Gone Wobbly on Ukraine
President Joe Biden has offered a lackluster response to new evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine. Contrary to the conspiracy theories offered by some, the evidence for these atrocities is abundant and clear. Yet, when asked by a journalist on Monday what sanctions he would propose in reaction to Russian atrocities, Biden could do no better than “I’ll let you know.”
The Magic Is Gone. Welcome to Disney’s Woke Kingdom
There is more to Disney’s iconic brand than fairy tales, Frozen sequels, and incredible theme parks. Disney is going woke and advocating left-wing social justice issues. The public is only now seeing the solid evidence.
NFL Creates a New Anybody-But-White-Males Hiring Policy
Once again, the NFL has caved to the leftist narrative of the perpetual victimization of minorities.
Culture War Themes Take Center Stage at Oscars
Oscar hosts Amy Schumer, Regina Hall, and Wanda Sykes joined forces to open the 2022 Academy Awards as culture war themes often took center stage. Their opening monologue took aim at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, a bill that many on the Left have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg Rolling Over in Grave at Judge Jackson’s Answers
Jackson only refused to define a woman because she did not want to upset the woke mob of transgender rights supporters within the Democratic Party….She should study the lifetime achievements of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Maybe then she would be able to answer such difficult questions as “what is a woman?”
Jen Psaki Got Covid-19 Twice in 140 Days
Psaki did everything right by the politically perilous metrics the White House decided to hinge its reputation on. She got COVID-19 anyway. At long last, the rules are catching up to meet the reality that these cases themselves are not, and never were, what mattered to begin with.
How Could Any American Patriot Back Putin?
Dan Hannan: What is it that Trump and his followers see in Putin in the first place? He does not respect elections. He believes he can make up the rules as he goes along. The sole principle of his foreign policy is Machtpolitik — let the stronger take from the weaker. He has replaced multiparty pluralism with a cult of personality. He can’t tolerate criticism.
Mike Pence Should Stay on the 2024 Sidelines
Pence either gave too much to Trump over the course of four years or not enough on one pivotal day. His unpopularity is directly attributable to his time in the previous administration. Whether he would be a solid, national leader isn’t really the point. He lacks the support necessary even to make the attempt.
Tucker Carlson’s Speech Is Not a Crime
Our culture runs amok with vigilante hall monitors looking for people who supposedly pose a “threat to democracy.” It is unreasonable for anyone to suggest that Carlson face a federal criminal investigation for what he says on his show. That kind of illiberalism is what everybody’s supposedly fighting against. It’s Putin that has people arrested for saying the wrong words.
