Should James Comey go to jail for implicitly threatening the life of the President of the United States? As much as I despise Comey, who is a self-important, arrogant, and power-abusing ass with social skills as tiny as his frame is large, I have to be honest and say that I don’t think he belongs...
Could the Trump administration’s battle with Harvard put its officers in danger of criminal prosecution? With the exception of a foreign researcher who smuggled materials into the country, that seems unlikely to most. The investigations of Harvard’s policies and practices have thus far involved grants and other federal subsidies, along with potential civil liability for...
Ed just wrote an excellent piece on the “Biden Nightmare” being an anvil around the neck of the Democrats. And it is true that both the media and the Democrats have taken a major hit in their approval ratings, and that some Democrats and left-leaning Independents have reconsidered their allegiance to both. And yet, many...
As Democrats loved to remind us ad infinitum, over the last few years: No one is above the law. Right? Right? Looks like we’ll soon find out. The New Jersey Globe reports that one House Democrat will face federal charges for her role in an assault on an ICE facility a week ago that made...
I was going to write about this yesterday, but since the video that sparked a thousand tweets is behind a paywall, I decided to give it a pass. I’ve changed my mind, and since I can give you a gift link, I will let you decide whether you want to visit the Times and watch...
Verminous, lame-dumb cluck New Jersey governor Phil Murphy – he of the rodential, yellow-fanged overbite, off-shore wind obsession, and illegal migrant home sanctuary – was in an expansive mood at the end of April. He got to participate in a bit of performative theatrics that allowed the Green grift-addicted chief executive to pretend he gave...
Good. Now if the Protection Racket Media starts realizing it too, we might actually get somewhere. For some reason, Democrats apparently never considered what a cover-up on the Joe Biden scale would do to their reputations. The rise of the Now It Can Be Told media literary genre has forced them to reckon with the...
Jake Sullivan has been, along with Anthony Blinken, one of the top players in the Democratic foreign policy world for a decade and a half. He is so good at his job that you could call him a key architect of the great policies that brought us the color revolutions, the Libyan collapse, the “Arab...
No surprise on the first point, not after handing out awards for genocide denialism in Ukraine, mythical Russian collusion, and most recently terrorist propaganda on behalf of people who started a war with the most grotesque atrocities seen in decades. The second point seems a bit more curious for an organization whose entire oeuvre depends...
Tulsi Gabbard fired two officials from the National Intelligence Council after they, out of the blue, released a report contradicting the Trump Administration’s policy on Tren de Aragua. You would think that an administration cleaning out officials held over by the prior administration, especially ones drawing outside the lines and contradicting the current president’s policies,...
James Comey is making a living as an author of thriller novels these days, which frankly seems like a pretty good gig for a retired FBI Director. His latest book is about to be released so he’s been posting photos to promote it on his social media accounts, including this one showing him reading the...
There was a happy piece of data that came in first thing this morning. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) did another little round of moderation right as everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the worst of Liberation Day to start hitting. NOT SO FAST Inflation eased to a four-year low in April as the nascent...
Last week a group of elected Democratic officials showed up at an ICE facility in New Jersey, supposedly to tour the facility. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka wound up getting arrested after a brief scuffle. ????DEMOCRAT MAYOR OF NEWARK, NJ HAS BEEN ARRESTED AFTER STORMING AN ICE FACILITY pic.twitter.com/c1Rsz2Dyx6 — TheBlaze (@theblaze) May 9, 2025 Today,...
There is something oddly satisfying about how European leaders are so angry at Trump that they…are doing what he has been asking them to all along. Trump is magic. https://t.co/xgJThBe9gy — ian bremmer (@ianbremmer) May 14, 2025 One of the biggest criticisms of Trump, and one with a surface level of plausibility, is that he...
Well, go figure. When you have a couch that contains $53 billion-plus, it’s not too difficult to find a few million between the cushions. Amusingly, Harvard hasn’t yet realized the implications of their latest chessboard move in their match against the Trump administration: Harvard University is dedicating $250 million of its own funds to support...
