Citing the recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, President Trump announced a new travel ban covering 12 countries. Here’s a bit of the announcement from the White House website. In Executive Order 14161 of January 20, 2025 (Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats), I stated that...
The auto-pen thing is gaining some traction all of a sudden instead of simply being folks bitching on X and talking heads ranting on TV at night. Representative James Comer, head of the House Oversight Committee, has sent letters to five more of Joe Biden’s top aides requesting their presence before his committee. Comer’s already...
The Department of Education put out a press release today announcing that Columbia University is in violation of anti-discrimination laws and therefore fails to meet standards for accreditation. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is...
Did you know that Trump is serving in his second term? You wouldn’t, if you watch the way the news reports his poll numbers and how they compare them to the numbers for Bush, Obama, and Biden at “this point in their terms.” As of two days ago, Trump’s approval rating in the RCP Avg...
So say the grifters that tried to get another four years in power by pretending Joe Biden was Sharp As a Tack. I mean, point taken about the Karine Jean-Pierre and grifting, but come on, man. Of course, Jean-Pierre acted as Chief Propagandist for Sharp As Tack and Cheap Fakes narratives. Are the other grifters...
David Wallace-Wells is an opinion writer at the NY Times. He has a newsletter up today titled “Our Regression on Gender Is a Tragedy, Not Just a Political Problem.” Some of what he says is worth considering but ultimately he’s writing this from a solidly progressive point of view so I think he mostly winds...
There are hard times and then, I guess, there are times when times are SO hard, damn near any solution sounds plausible if it has hard dollars signs attached to it. I guess that’s what’s happening in San Francisco, a city that has dug itself a good-sized financial hole. The new mayor, Dan Lurie, just...
The Big Beautiful Bill has taken a lot of PR hits of late, including from me and Elon Musk. I love writing that line. It makes it sound like Elon Musk and I have similar influence, when everybody knows that I am the larger political force of the two. The criticisms all boil down to...
Let’s recap. We’ve had twenty months of radical intimidation campaigns targeting Jews on college campuses in the US. In recent weeks, the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania got firebombed out of the state’s mansion. An assassin executed two Israeli embassy employees and injured several others outside of a Jewish museum in Washington DC. And last week,...
A suspected accomplice in the bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, CA last month was arrested yesterday at Kennedy airport in New York. A man was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City overnight in connection with the car bombing last month outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic, two...
Last month a man named Tarek Bazrouk was charged with federal hate crimes after he was involved in 3 separate attacks on Jewish protesters in New York. A press release from the DOJ described the details of all three attacks. According to court documents, other public filings, and statements previously made on the record in...
After 17 years, California still has no tracks for its high-speed rail. However, the gravy train has run on time in every single fiscal year — until now. A new report from the Department of Transportation reveals that nearly $7 billion in federal funds resulted in exactly zero feet of high-speed track laid in the...
Remember Karine Jean-Pierre? You know, the White House Press Secretary who made “Circle Back Barbie” look like a truth-telling genius? She disappeared into the Witness Protection Program–or something similar–on January 20th, 2025, and hasn’t been seen since. Even those “now it can be told” books have basically ignored her role in the White House, and...
Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are ostentatiously “Catholic,” despite their rejection of the core moral teachings of the Church. They–and most liberals who see the Church as one of their main opponents in the culture war–have been doing their best to redefine what it means to be a Catholic (or Christian, for that matter), and...
If there’s anything we’ve done pretty well for a Stateside blog, I think it’s trying to keep y’all up with what’s happening across the pond. Granted, we have no deep understanding of either European tribalism or feudalism and it’s damn near every day I thank God the Founding Fathers did not harness us with the...
