Are Donald Trump’s tariff policies “in a IEEPA trouble,” as Andrew Stuttaford quipped at The Corner, after last night’s ruling by the Court of International Trade (CIT)? Perhaps not, even if the appellate courts refuse them relief on the Liberation Day and trafficking tariffs. Will we see the Tariffinator in T2: Liberation Day Redux? Politico...
Yesterday, I wrote about the fact that Elon Musk is frustrated by the “Big Beautiful Bill,” and he clearly is. But as soon as I wrote that, Elon announced that his time as a special government employee was coming to an end, and the media started writing these stupid “Elon Musk” is leaving DOGE because...
Sweden has quietly had its momentary romance with renewables, as has much of the rest of Europe. In 2018, the World Economic Forum was tooting its own horn about how the Nordic country was hell bent for leather on installing wind turbines to fully achieve one of its ‘renewable’ climate goals by 2030. Formerly humming...
There’s more than one way to skin the cat, whether it be an Academia cat, a trade cat, or a nat-sec cat. And this method will be difficult to challenge in court. Late yesterday, Marco Rubio announced that the State Department would go for the feline-defurring hat trick. The State Department will launch a review...
A lot of people were shocked when J.D. Vance denounced the Europe-wide abandonment of and active hostility to free speech at the Munich Security Conference back in February. To say that Vance was unusually blunt is a gross understatement. It’s more accurate to say that he dropped a bunker-busting bomb on the European Union. ????????VP...
The short answer to that question: appeal to the Supreme Court. The longer answer, especially in time: appeal to Congress. Right now, both appear to have the same prospects … somewhere between slim and none. Yesterday, the Court of International Trade — yes, we actually have one — overruled Donald Trump’s attempts to vastly expand...
There is no such thing as a “normal” president–there have only been 45 people in history to have held the job and “normal” people don’t rise to that level of political power. But some presidents are more normal than others. You have the machine politicians like Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson, for instance. You have...
The trial of Bryan Kohberger is current scheduled for August but there have been efforts by Kohberger’s lawyers to delay the trial because of a recent Dateline special that revealed new information about the case. I wrote about the Dateline special on May 10, the day it aired. The special included new video of what...
This is a novel approach to doing battle with someone who doesn’t like you very much and can pretty much prove the bias he’s claiming you openly display without so much as breaking a sweat – file a First Amendment lawsuit. Who knew? The Babylon Bee Would Like To Announce We Are Joining NPR In...
Jake Tapper has been making the rounds lately to promote his book and earlier this month he recorded a podcast with Scott Galloway. If that name sounds familiar, David wrote about him back in February when he was calling for DOGE employees to be arrested. Putting that aside, Galloway did have a pretty interesting interview...
The bromance between Trump and Elon Musk is far from over, but as I suggested the other day in a piece I wrote about Elon pulling back from politics, it’s clear that Musk is disappointed with how government works. Elon Musk: “Disappointed” Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” Undermines Work Of DOGE https://t.co/GOUcAz225l — RCP Video (@rcpvideo)...

Today seems to be the day for undercover videos. I wrote about the one featuring David Hogg earlier today. This afternoon Accuracy in Media has posted their own video about the persistence of DEI at the University of North Carolina. We’ll get to the video in a moment but the backstory here is that last...
Seems like such a nice guy, this Osama Hamdan, the Hamas representative, telling Palestinians how to suffer some more for the cause from the relative safety of Beirut. Dedicated dude, this Hamdan. As for starving bit, I’d say old Hambone’s pretty much a food expert judging by his glamour shots. Morbidly obese Hamas leader, Osama...
This almost sounds like a joke: A college president and a ‘public’ news organization walk into a bar to complain about their common enemy. At least one of them decided to be somewhat honest about it, but only somewhat. Alan Garber, president of a beleaguered Harvard University, sat down with Steve Inskeep of an equally...
