Some dynasts win their first race on the strength of the family name and then try to undo all the things that their forebears did to make that name popular. For the Cuomos and Kennedys, it seems to be their life’s calling and a process they all have down pat.

The Biden-Made Border Crisis
There is a crisis at our southern border, and President Biden’s immigration policies are responsible. Biden has halted border wall construction, released illegal immigrants into our communities, and promised amnesty for millions more. These are disastrous policies that have contributed to the surge in illegal immigration…
Biden Takes Full Credit for Vaccine Work Started Before He Took Office
If there’s one thing President Biden loves, it’s passing off somebody else’s work as his own.
CPAC’s Election Lies Endanger the Republican Party
Last month’s Conservative Political Action Conference revealed an obsession with conspiracy theories that undermine the public’s faith in our democratic process. Not only that, but the event highlighted and promoted those who supported former President Donald Trump’s false narrative that he won the 2020 election.
The Danger of Reopening Too Slowly
There has never been a time in human history when we did not live with some risk, including the risk of disease. Now, one year in, that risk assessment no longer belongs in the hands of bureaucrats or government officials. It belongs in the sanitizer-soaked hands of law-abiding people who’ve made sacrifices to navigate this pandemic in good faith, as hard as it has been.
Identity-Obsessed Liberals and Social Justice Are the Roots of Cancel Culture
This toxic obsession with identity, whether based on race or gender, has taken over every major cultural institution. Universities, Hollywood and the entertainment industry, sports leagues, and the media, have all fallen, committed to basing their existence around identity-based grievances, whether they are real, exaggerated, or completely fabricated.
End the Victimized Culture of Grievance
We tell minority children they cannot succeed because society favors their nonminority peers. We revere Black Lives Matter protests, which highlight grievances and offer no solutions. Meanwhile, as protesters destroy minority neighborhoods, we ignore the public school system’s obscene failure in properly educating minority children.
Then They Came for Dr. Seuss
Not one inch must be given to these destroyers of culture, for once you show weakness, they will never stop. Do not give in to their demands. Do not fire people based on their accusations. Do not ban the books they find offensive.
The Pandemic Is Ending, and So Should Fauci’s Public Appearances
When Fauci isn’t playing partisan politics, criticizing Republicans while propping up obviously failing Democrats, he’s spending his time undermining the vaccination drive. While President Biden promises that there will be enough vaccines available for everyone by late July, Fauci says that “normalcy” will not return until at least Christmas or maybe sometime in 2022.
CNN Has a Cuomo Problem
Laughably, Chris Cuomo now claims he “obviously” can’t report on his brother because, well, it’s his brother. Sorry, but that ship has sailed. If you’re allowed to cover the governor during the “good” times, you should be required to do the same for the bad. Unless, of course, CNN and Chris Cuomo agree that hosting the New York governor is appropriate only when it benefits the New York governor.
If Trump Wants Credit, Go on a Vaccine Rally Tour
Trump could channel his favorite hobby with some public good that could recoup some of the credit for himself. He could resume rallies among his biggest supporters, but rather than campaigning for himself personally, he should be campaigning to get people to take the vaccine. It would be a legitimate public good that the media would be moronic to oppose…
Trump Doesn’t Sound Like He Wants to Run in 2024
There was something else missing Sunday from his address. There was a certain directness and clear-eyed ambition absent from his remarks, something suggesting that he has his heart set on retaking the White House. He is surely the crowd-pleasing bomb-thrower he ever was, but that is mostly how he appeared Sunday in Orlando: An entertainer, not as a man invested in the idea of running for president.
Idiot Grim Reaper Lawyer to Target CPAC
Daniel Uhlfelder has plans to troll Conservative Political Action Conference attendees this weekend in Orlando, Florida, with a plane pulling a banner that reads, “Welcome Insurrectionists!” Wow, you’ve done it this time, Uhlfelder. Those CPAC attendees will never recover from this.
2021: The Year for Conservative Women
In November, voters elected 30 Republican women to the House. Republican women won 11 of the 15 seats that flipped to Republicans. Now, there are 119 women in the House. 2021 could become the year of brave conservative women. We already have powerful examples.
Garland Must Prosecute Political Violence Vigorously and Consistently
The attack on the U.S. Capitol was a disgraceful incident without any possible justification or excuse. It doesn’t change the fact that antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters’ storming of the Portland federal courthouse was also a disgraceful attack on our republican system and the rule of law.
Buy Anything You Could Ever Want, Except this Book Challenging Transgenderism
Amazon is a place where you can find anything you could ever want, including a rain jacket for your dog. But if you are interested in reading a serious critique of transgenderism, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
What Were the Capitol Rioters Thinking?
The court papers portray the Oath Keepers as a ragtag group living in a delusional world, planning a delusional operation to bring about some sort of delusional outcome. They imagined themselves saving the country with their reinforced vests, helmets, and goggles. It would be the understatement of the year to say that they had not thought things through.
Frozen Windmills Show the Need for Fossil Fuels
Biden and his appointees frequently talk about a clean energy future in which carbon-emitting fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are all replaced by windmills and rainbows. But that future is a lot colder and darker than they admit.
What Rush Limbaugh Taught Everyone in Conservative Media
Eddie Scarry: It would take a year to list all of the things Rush Limbaugh did for right-wingers in this country, so let’s just go with my favorite: He instilled in us the truth that not only is it OK to be hated by liberals in the national media, but it can be fun!
Trump Owes His Domestic Victories to Mitch McConnell
Despite Trump’s desire to rewrite history, there is zero chance that if Kevin McCarthy or Matt Gaetz were in charge of the Senate that Trump would have gotten a fraction of the judicial confirmations passed that McConnell did, much less the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing
One can point to a number of destabilizing and dangerous actions the Chinese Communist Party has carried out in just the last year: its reported cover-up of the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, its repressive crackdown and undermining of freedoms provided to the citizens of Hong Kong, and the Chinese military’s incursion of Taiwanese sovereignty.
NY Times Updates Report on Fire Extinguisher Striking Officer Sicknick
The New York Times quietly updated a month-old report about the siege of Congress which perpetuated the idea that officer Brian Sicknick might have died after being struck by a fire extinguisher…CNN reported that reports about Sicknick being hit with a fire extinguisher are not true and that examiners “did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma” as they “struggle to build a murder case” in the officer’s death.
“Hang Pence.” Connecting the Dots on Trump’s Culpability
Trump’s motives were evil. His words and deeds caused the violence to escalate. Especially when the assault was underway, it was foreseeable that his words and deeds would escalate the violence. He bears blame for the attack on the Capitol and the assault on police officers.
Trump’s Unconvincing Impeachment Defense Has Already Cost Him a Senator
The odds of the Senate succeeding in convicting Donald Trump are virtually nonexistent, but the unconvincing impeachment defense put forth by his lawyers may indeed cost him some Republican acquittal votes. After a painful first day of Trump’s second impeachment trial, Sen. Bill Cassidy crucially reversed course, voting that the trial is indeed constitutional despite having voted the opposite way just last month.
