Is this a politically motivated prosecution? Or the antidote to a politically motivated non-prosecution? The New York Times covers it as an example of the former. The Department of Justice has opened a probe into former governor Andrew Cuomo’s testimony before Congress about his actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo had insisted in his testimony...
Beege wrote an excellent piece earlier today about the vicious murder of two employees of the Israeli Embassy. Elias Rodriguez, the social justice “activist” whose many, many, many “causes” include promoting antisemitic Palestinian terrorism, Black Lives Matter, and, inevitably, Socialism. In his mind, they are all of a piece. For that matter, in the minds of...
What’s been the biggest surprise since the start of the year? Speaker Mike Johnson’s winning streak in the House has to be near the top, if not at the very top. Despite having one of the narrowest majorities in congressional history and perhaps the most fractious caucus ever, Johnson keeps piling up wins. With the...
Sure – it’s just hurty words right? And what’s a little slip-up in the numbers? That up to 14K Gazan babies might possibly suffer from the effects of malnutrition in the next year, or the lie that went ’round the world of 14,000 Palestinian babies dying in the next two days because Israel won’t allow baby food and formula...
During the COVID pandemic, public health officials were obsessed with presenting a united front and a grossly oversimplified message regarding anything pandemic-related. Is masking up a good or bad idea? There was little to no data that it was a good idea, but once the idea was pushed out there, everybody fell in line. That...
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin wound up shouting at each other for about five minutes today. Both Whitehouse and Zeldin shared clips of this exchange on their social media accounts so it seems both of them think they got the better part of the exchange. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s testimony before the...
For a state with so many natural resources, which could, if it wanted to, be its own pretty decent sized, independent, self-sufficient kingdom, damn do they have some stupidly obstinate ideologues. I know, I know – I can hear you guys from here. DUH, BEEGE It never ceases to amaze me how so few hysterical...
In March, Greenpeace lost a trial in North Dakota and a jury determined they should pay Energy Transfer, the company that built the Dakota Access Pipeline, a total of $667 million in damages. Greenpeace said at the time that even half that amount could potentially bankrupt them. Last week, Greenpeace asked a judge to reduce...
Is Harvard irredeemable? Yes, unless they are forced by external forces to reform. https://t.co/v9smW1aX8x — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) May 21, 2025 That’s not the assessment of a conservative curmudgeon or some extreme partisans exacting revenge on institutions filled with lefty lunatics. That is what several Harvard professors and researchers who have watched a...
I’m not one of those people who thinks life grades on a curve. There are circumstances that can be judged as to whether job performance of individuals meet the standards, exceed them, far exceed them, or fail. Let’s turn to the latest round of interviews of Jake Tapper and/or Alex Thompson about their new book,...
I came across a clip yesterday from an interview Jake Tapper gave to Katie Couric. Tapper was talking about the degree to which Hunter Biden seemed to be making decisions for the Biden family and that led to him expressing some pretty blunt opinions about Hunter as a person. “I think Hunter was driving the...
Back in April, David told you the truly sad tale of one young British mother who’d become a victim of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s ‘Two Tier’ government. Distraught watching the riots unfold in the aftermath of the brutal slaughter in Southport of three young girls by a crazed, knife-wielding second-generation immigrant Rwandan teenager named Axel Rudukabana,...
Did you vote for this? Because I ain’t gonna lie … I voted for this. For months, South Africa has tried to paint Israel as genocidal for fighting the war Hamas and the Gazans started on October 7. That began a rift with the US that has sharply accelerated since Donald Trump took office, who...
I guess the positive note here is that at least this year Columbia University was able to hold a graduation ceremony. Last year it had to be canceled because the school couldn’t clear the quad in time to host it. This year, the graduation turned into an embarrassing moment where the school’s president got to...
Every institution gets corrupted to some degree over time. As with the Fed, managers and executives of even the best institutions have a dual mandate: ensure that the ostensible purpose of the organization is pursued, AND ensure that the institution thrives. On top of that, everybody in the institution wants to further their own interests,...
