By now you all know that I am an unabashed fan of Pierre Poilievre, so it would be easy to assume that this post in which I rip his Liberal opponent Mark Carney is about the Canadian election fast approaching. It really isn’t, although if you are a Canadian reader, I do say, ‘VOTE PIERRE!”...
Curious indeed. The Trump administration had petitioned the Supreme Court for stays in three different challenges on Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship. The easiest action to take would have been to ignore the requests and let the cases play out, likely well into the next Supreme Court term. Instead, the court decided to...
An active shooter situation occurred at Florida State University about an hour ago. The school announced it on X: An active shooter has been reported in the area of Student Union. Police are on scene or on the way. Continue to seek shelter and await further instructions. Lock and stay away from all doors and...
Beege wrote a great piece about the choice of David Hogg for Democratic Party Vice Chair the other day, and the hits keep on coming. Hogg, the immensely annoying hero of the Democratic Left, isn’t on a mission to get Democrats elected; he is determined to move a party that is already far left of...
California Governor Gavin Newsom kicked off this year by symbolically putting the first spikes into California’s long-delayed high speed rail line. Like everything else about this project, the event was a bit misleading. The track being laid in January was not track for an actual high speed train but a siding that would eventually allow...
My darling Priscilla-Isaac Jones-Fragnitz: I write with a heavy heart from the front lines of Barker Center, where we plan to make a stand to the last man — er, human being of no particular gender — in this war for Harvard’s independence and federal-funding firehose. The dastardly enemy has us besieged on all fronts...
In the tariff war between China and the United States, a lot of chatter in the Pravda Media is about Xi Jinping’s defiance, his outreach to European countries and other less important but collectively significant developing countries, and his retaliatory moves against America. They make it sound like China has a lot of cards to...
Oooh, wasn’t there some more welcome news on the Green grifting front yesterday. Back in January, even as Trump had already expressed his opposition to renewable energy in general and his disgust with the wind industry in particular, Governor Kathy Hochul of New York, in concert with the Biden administration’s last minute dash to shove...
In a fight over Che Fever, I always bet on the least Marxist contender in the debate. Needless to say, that distinction was easy to make in this clip from Fox News’ Hannity. Last night, Sean Hannity got Taylor Lorenz to debate … something. Lorenz thought she showed up to condemn violence, but only in health-care...
Was it a trap? One might think so. The Trump administration’s deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia has ignited a firestorm, seeming to give a boost–or at least an issue–for Donald Trump’s Democratic Party and Pravda Media adversaries. The deportation ignited a firestorm, has inspired high-stakes legal battles, and lured luminaries in the Democratic Party to...
Voters, mind you, not Democrat Party leaders. The latter have offered voters almost nothing but La Résistance 2.0 since the moment that Kamala Harris called off her victory party in early November. It worked so well for them the first time around, they believe, and Democrat leaders either have nothing else to offer or simply refuse...
I had an interesting discussion with Grok yesterday about the Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia deportation case, and it got me thinking a lot about the public discussion and why it is so bizarre to me. Grok helped clarify the basics about the standards of proof required in such cases, the legal niceties, and why people...
I’ve started doing these updates weekly because while the national media has clearly moved on and decided this doesn’t look good for Democrats, local reports keep coming around the country. The wave of vandalism hasn’t ended, it’s just being ignored by the big news outlets. If you missed the first update in this series you...
So, how I found this little nugget today was wondering what the bear-of-little-brains in charge of Chicago was up to. I mean, we haven’t heard much about Mayor Brandon Johnson lately, who, last I checked, was in the middle of trying to force the Chicago school system into signing a payday loan to cover a...
This has been the case for a long time and it seems not much has changed even after 18 months of fighting that have decimated Hamas and destroyed much of Gaza. Yesterday, Hamas dismissed Israel’s latest offer of a ceasefire and another hostage/prisoner exchange because it included a demand that they disarm. The very first...
