There’s been a growing border crisis for decades that has, again in the past few years, coinciding with the Biden administration term, taken on frightening proportions. Once again, it has to do with Mexico, but only indirectly with physical Mexicans crossing the border. It’s a direct result of what they’ve flushed and failed to dispose...
For decades, the war over fluoridation has been going on. The war is sometimes hot, sometimes cold, but the hostility between the pro- and anti-fluoridation sides has never cooled down completely. In many ways, it mirrors the hostilities over vaccinations, but with an important twist: vaccines, to the extent that they are both safe and...
Great news, as far as it goes. And that’s the question that will endear the Trump administration to federal judges around the country when Russ Vought unleashes this new legal strategy. Or perhaps more accurately, it will make trial lawyers in the regulatory sphere wealthy … as far as this goes. The New York Times...
It’s a truism of Minnesota politics – when you want the latest news about any DFL (Minnesotan for “Democrat”) politician, go to the London Daily Mail or, on a good day, the New York Post. Last week, Hot Air’s David Strom was Wh among the first to cover the release audio of Minnesota Attorney General...
*checks notes* Yup. That’s what it says right here. How bad is California’s housing crisis? A first-in-the-nation bill would let students live in cars. So…what in the wide, wide world of sports would compel someone to bring that up as a suggestion on any given campus, less mind introducing it as a legislative act? Well,...
One of the great ironies of any movement hoping to build a utopia is that as it gains success it begins to self-destruct. Coalitions that are carefully built up around common causes begin to fray, and the contempt each has for the ultimate vision of the other generates friction at first and ultimately spawns conflict...
California Democrats continue spending money like drunken sailors on shore leave. Yesterday, Gov. Newsom signed a bill to cover a massive shortfall caused by the expansion of the state’s Medicaid service (known as Medi-Cal) to illegal immigrants. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Monday that plugs an unexpected budget gap to fund Medi-Cal through late...
Has the last call come at the federal trough for public broadcasters? It depends on whether Congress acts to take the first steps outlined by DOGE, even though it may amount to baby steps at the moment. At issue are funds already appropriated by Congress for various agencies and purposes. The US DOGE Service has...
I am not one who gets all hot and bothered about the space tourism industry. I don’t have the kind of money that would make a trip above the Kármán Line affordable, and if I were in the mood to admit it, I would be nervous about sitting atop a controlled explosion to get there....
There’s a 60-foot wide strip of land that runs through three states along the length of the United States border known as the ‘Roosevelt Reservation.’ The federal and tribal lands that form the 632-mile long strip account for about a third of the 2000-mile long US-Mexico border. All the rest is Texas. Teddy Roosevelt, pragmatic...
Bet heavily on nothing, except a brief publicity tour for Senator Chris Van Hollen. The Maryland Democrat demanded a meeting with Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele during his state visit with Donald Trump, and got snubbed. Not that it would have mattered much; Bukele scoffed at the idea of sending Salvadoran citizen Kilmar Abrego Garcia back...
Well, these are words I never expected to hear on live TV, although it is nice to get a confirmation of the fact that CNN, at least as an organization, does not hate America. It must just be a lot of their reporters who do. Individually. Not as an organized group. Dana Bash has the...
As John wrote yesterday evening, Harvard declared that it would not “surrender its independence” after the Trump administration demanded significant changes in policies relating to the anti-Semitic intimidation campaigns on its campus. Hours later, they received good news … … the White House thinks Harvard should be independent as well: Harvard University said Monday it...
With a name like “rare earths” you would think that the metals in this category would be, you know, rare. They aren’t, though. They are actually pretty abundant and are even more so, given that we don’t use them in great quantity compared to other metals like copper, iron, or tin. What they are is...
