When Democrats are in power, they style themselves Dr. Jekyll; when out of power, they are Mr. Hyde. To be sure, Democrats are not immune to protests from the far left, but in the main, we get lectures about norms and lectured by politicians like Obama that “elections have consequences.” CNN’s Chris Cuomo: “Please, show...
Oh, boy. There’s humanely and responsibly taking care of uninvited guests (read: illegal migrants flooding into your country). And then there’s indulgence to the point where you’re responsible for encouraging the flood itself, have done nothing to stem the tide, and have completely abrogated any responsibilities you owe your citizens/taxpayers by the wanton disregard of...
One has to wonder just how long Harvard will stand on its principles in this fight — especially when the main principle appears to be the right to discriminate on the basis of race, sex, and religion. And given how the Harvard Law Review operates, that’s not an exaggeration. On Friday, the Washington Free Beacon...
Yesterday, John wrote about David Brooks beclowning himself on PBS, but I couldn’t resist throwing in my $.02 about Brooks’ idiocy. Brooks, as you know, is the archetypical elitist who firmly believes that you can tell whether a man would make a good president by interpreting the cut of a man’s jib. He let the...
You know what they say … a billion here, a billion there, and soon you’re talking real money. (NOTE: Yes, I know it used to be million, but then Joe Biden happened.) Just how much work has Elon Musk and his DOGE team accomplished? Let’s ask the Democrats on the House and Senate Appropriations Committee....
One of the most striking things about mainstream journalists is their tendency to compare people with whom they disagree to Hitler, while hiring actual Nazis to cover news related to Jews and Israel. The New York Times hired a Nazi to cover Gaza, the Associated Press had photojournalists who participated in the October 7th attacks,...
Yesterday the Washington Post published a story about a Tuscaloosa, Alabama abortion clinic that isn’t an abortion clinic any longer. I think we’re supposed to feel bad about this. Once, it was the sole abortion clinic in this half of the state. Then Roe v. Wade fell, the legislature’s near-total ban on the procedure took...
This is going to be a quick little sprint through exercises in parliamentary democracy as we’ve come to know and abhor it here over the past couple of years. First, a quick touch on Canada, where the anointed and appointed liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Davos-blessed replacement for twee former Prime Minister Justin ‘Fidelito’...
James Lindsay has been hated on the left for some time because he’s been actively involved in ridiculing the woke left. He’s recently become somewhat similarly hated by some on the right as he’s spent the last few months talking about the “woke right.” I haven’t engaged in any of those battles online but today...
I will be the first person to admit that artificial intelligence terrifies me. It can be wildly funny if used in the right way, but the ability to pass stuff made up out of whole cloth by someone typing up a query in a search box makes me worry about whether we can believe anything...
The SF Chronicle published an editorial Saturday criticizing California Democrats for repeatedly putting their tired ideology over what actually works in a number of areas. For instance, if you listen to Gov. Newsom, the state needs to build more homes. He recently admitted the state isn’t anywhere close to meeting it’s stated goals for home...
For some reason, this morning, sixty million people across all of the Iberian Peninsula and a good chunk of France had no power. I mean, BOOM BOOM – OUT WENT THE LIGHTS In Portugal the consumption dropped from 6100 MW to 600 MW in 15 minute, but seems to be recovering to around 3 300...
As I sit in the airport waiting to board my plane from Washington, D.C., back to Minneapolis, I thought I would take a few moments to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly of visiting The Swamp. After all, I have almost two hours until boarding. Scott Jennings invited me to attend CNN’s...
