If the Democrats kick David Hogg out of his leadership position at the Democratic National Committee because he is a white male, the jokes will write themselves. Somebody figure out how to work in “Boss Hog,” please. I couldn’t think of one this morning. Semafor has the scoop on an upcoming meeting of the Credentials...
Hmmm. No wonder Scott Pelley and Bill Owens spent last week protesting internal accountability for the deceptive edits on 60 Minutes’ interview of Kamala Harris. It must have been worse than we thought. What else are we to conclude from an alleged decision by Paramount’s board to settle Donald Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit? The New...
I have often made a distinction between liberals and leftists, and will continue to do so. One of my most pleasant conversations at the CNN event in Washington was with a former Biden official (lower-level) who was your old-style liberal. He wasn’t angry. He didn’t hate conservatives–a rarity these days, I admit–and as far as...
In the world of resistance politics, Harvard is leading the university charge against the demands of the Trump administration. Harvard refused to a list of ten demands the administration had sent the school and sued the administration last week. But reports about the breakdown in communications that proceeded this suggested that, behind the scenes, both...
As the junior member of this team and kind of the light-hearted entertainment section counterbalancing the somber, intellectual heavyweights I’m surrounded with most of the time, I let the big dogs go first. In fact, I wasn’t going to write anything about it at all until I saw a Xweet that made my heart soar...
Judge Hannah Dugan, the Milwaukee judge who helped escort a criminal illegal alien out of her chambers to evade arrest, was just suspended from her job by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The Wisconsin Supreme Court suspended a judge accused of helping a man evade immigration authorities, saying Tuesday that it is in the public interest...
The stunning collapse of the Conservative Party’s lead in the polls has led to this: The Liberals, having replaced Justin Trudeau with Mark Carney as their leader, are on the cusp of attaining an outright majority in the Canadian Parliament. That sucks. Before Trudeau bowed out of leadership and his role as Prime Minister, the...
Abundance is the title of the book by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson which has been making some waves this year. The gist of the book is that if Democrats want to recover from recent failures, especially with the working class, they need to demonstrate they can actually get things done. And lately it seems...
It looks as if we could well be headed into one. In this instance, it looks like Trump and his tariff war aren’t the reason for the news coming out of United Parcel Service (UPS) today. Or shouldn’t be, however much they’ll spin it as such. According to the powers that be at UPS, Big...
Ed wrote a piece earlier today about his take on the first 100 days of Trump’s second term, and I thought I would throw in my $.02. After all, everyone expects the “First 100 days” piece, even though the time period is utterly arbitrary. There is nothing special about 100 days other than it being...
Fake news? Trial balloon? Big misunderstanding? At the very least, it sounds like Punchbowl News didn’t do enough checking on a “scoop” this morning. Earlier today, the DC-Media-insider site reported that Amazon had entered the tariff wars. Punchbowl alerted reader that the online giant would soon break out tariff price hikes, in order to make...
I find this to be a really fascinating – and encouraging – turnaround. Forty years ago this past March, Denmark banned nuclear power outright and sold their virtue-signalling, collective soul to the Green grifters. On this day, 40 years ago, Denmark banned nuclear power over vibes Since then ???????????? Burned coal for decades❌ Helped shut...
I am a big fan of DOGE, and even approve of cutting government with a meat axe instead of a scalpel. A decade or two ago, I would have preferred “reform” and a zero-based budget–the idea being that responsible representatives in Congress and the Executive Branch would do their jobs and separate the wheat from...
China’s system of crushing dissent internally through direct threats works pretty well. There’s a reason why there are almost never any public protests in China and it’s simple. If you protest, China will identify you and the police will come knocking no your door with some paper for you to sign. The paper will be...
One hundred days? In some ways, it feels as though we are 100 years away from the Joe Biden presidency. In others, it feels as though the new administration and Congress have barely gotten started. And for some, it feels as though they haven’t changed a bit. Donald Trump took the oath of office exactly...
