Last week, David Strom noted that Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty – one of the raft of prosecutors who wafted into office on a wave of George Soros’s money – was moving to mandate the “consideration of race” when prosecuting alleged offenders: This is the equivalent–in reverse–of what happened in the old South when the...
We are pleased to present this guest essay from Robert G. Joseph, Special Envoy for Nuclear Non-Proliferation under George W. Bush, and Robert Toricelli, former Democrat Senator from New Jersey. As always, the opinions expressed by the guest author do not necessarily represent those of Hot Air or Townhall Media. Bipartisan Agreement: Iran’s Future,...
There are a lot of grating things about Trump’s critics, but perhaps the most frustrating one for me is how so many of them still fail to understand the fact that so much of what he says and does has to be understood not as literal statements of what he thinks at any given moment,...
Hannah Dugan is the Wisconsin judge who was arrested by the FBI last month after (allegedly) interfering with ICE agents who were present in the public part of the courthouse to make an arrest of a criminal illegal alien. Today she was indicted on two counts by a federal grand jury. The Wisconsin judge arrested...
In December, as weepy Winken Antony Blinken was busy sucking up to the newest, cleanest Jihadi in a suit to roll into a Middle Eastern Third World s**thole, I was asking if the Biden administration had bothered to ‘meet the new boss’ in light of their effusive greetings to Abu Mohamed al-Jolani and his victorious,...
When a friend of mine in PR sent me a review copy of a new book on the excavation of an ancient site outside Jerusalem, I was skeptical that I would have much to say about the book. The subject, while intellectually interesting, is not exactly in my wheelhouse. But, being a friend, I said...
Truth be told, that’s not the deepest question the day. “Did Israel just give itself a justification for ending the war” is the deepest question. IDF forces struck a suspected Hamas command center near a Khan Younis hospital this morning. The Israelis believe that Mohammed Sinwar, the brother of October 7 architect Yahya Sinwar and...
We all know now that students’ ability to learn suffered significantly during the pandemic. Some kids struggled to pay attention and some just dropped out entirely, never to return. National test scores since then show that most students haven’t recovered even five years later. Nevertheless, I guess I’d had it in the back of my...
Because, honestly? I’m not really understanding how they’re claiming to be ‘Christian’ right now. David had a post this morning about the first little group of South African Afrikaners who have arrived via Trump’s designating them basically an endangered species. I think there are a whopping 49 souls altogether. They seem pretty happy to be...
I actually understand why kindhearted people feel bad when some illegal immigrants are swept up by ICE and deported. After all, many illegal immigrants are not bad people who run roughshod over the system, and before Biden opened the floodgates, the majority of them weren’t coming here to suck off the government tit, grabbing free...
Can Donald Trump convince Iran to stop pursuing nuclear weapons? In his first media appearance on this week’s Middle East tour, Trump offered an olive branch — if Iran is truly interested in peace and security for the region. He offered Tehran “a new and better path” by dismantling its enrichment systems and ending its...
As Ed described earlier, there’s a new book about President Biden’s decline in office and the White House effort to cover it up coming out next week. I don’t have an advance copy unfortunately, but the authors wrote a story for the New Yorker today which is based on the book. The article describes a...
Oh, my GAWD -this is getting so good. I mean, to the point where there’s no ‘Republic of Alberta…YET,‘ good. The morning after the country went to the polls, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith laid down the law to newly elected Canadian Prime Minister and WEF/Davos climate cult toadie Mark Carney that she – meaning Alberta...
Earlier today, Ed wrote a great piece about one of the key revelations in Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s new book, Original Sin. After years of being gaslit by Pravda Media and their lying “sources” that Joe Biden was fit as a fiddle, we have been fed the “revelation” that Biden was so decrepit that...
Yesterday, Harvard send Sec. McMahon a letter which attempted to walk a fine line between finding common ground with the Trump administration and flipping them the bird. As Ed pointed out here, the administration’s response was to announce another round of funding cuts amounting to nearly half a billion dollars. The message is pretty clear:...
