Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin wound up shouting at each other for about five minutes today. Both Whitehouse and Zeldin shared clips of this exchange on their social media accounts so it seems both of them think they got the better part of the exchange. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s testimony before the...
For a state with so many natural resources, which could, if it wanted to, be its own pretty decent sized, independent, self-sufficient kingdom, damn do they have some stupidly obstinate ideologues. I know, I know – I can hear you guys from here. DUH, BEEGE It never ceases to amaze me how so few hysterical...
In March, Greenpeace lost a trial in North Dakota and a jury determined they should pay Energy Transfer, the company that built the Dakota Access Pipeline, a total of $667 million in damages. Greenpeace said at the time that even half that amount could potentially bankrupt them. Last week, Greenpeace asked a judge to reduce...
Is Harvard irredeemable? Yes, unless they are forced by external forces to reform. https://t.co/v9smW1aX8x — Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) May 21, 2025 That’s not the assessment of a conservative curmudgeon or some extreme partisans exacting revenge on institutions filled with lefty lunatics. That is what several Harvard professors and researchers who have watched a...
I’m not one of those people who thinks life grades on a curve. There are circumstances that can be judged as to whether job performance of individuals meet the standards, exceed them, far exceed them, or fail. Let’s turn to the latest round of interviews of Jake Tapper and/or Alex Thompson about their new book,...
I came across a clip yesterday from an interview Jake Tapper gave to Katie Couric. Tapper was talking about the degree to which Hunter Biden seemed to be making decisions for the Biden family and that led to him expressing some pretty blunt opinions about Hunter as a person. “I think Hunter was driving the...
Back in April, David told you the truly sad tale of one young British mother who’d become a victim of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s ‘Two Tier’ government. Distraught watching the riots unfold in the aftermath of the brutal slaughter in Southport of three young girls by a crazed, knife-wielding second-generation immigrant Rwandan teenager named Axel Rudukabana,...
Did you vote for this? Because I ain’t gonna lie … I voted for this. For months, South Africa has tried to paint Israel as genocidal for fighting the war Hamas and the Gazans started on October 7. That began a rift with the US that has sharply accelerated since Donald Trump took office, who...
I guess the positive note here is that at least this year Columbia University was able to hold a graduation ceremony. Last year it had to be canceled because the school couldn’t clear the quad in time to host it. This year, the graduation turned into an embarrassing moment where the school’s president got to...
Every institution gets corrupted to some degree over time. As with the Fed, managers and executives of even the best institutions have a dual mandate: ensure that the ostensible purpose of the organization is pursued, AND ensure that the institution thrives. On top of that, everybody in the institution wants to further their own interests,...
Once more into the cheap fakes breach, dear friends! Last week I wrote a post titled “NY Post: We Were Right About ‘Cheap Fakes’ and the Washington Post Was Wrong.” The NY Post had taken a moment to look back on criticism of its decision to highlight this video of Biden posted by the RNC....
Well, my my my. The Washington DC establishment sure seems determined to distance itself from the obvious media and political cover-up of the past four years. No one exemplifies that establishment as Sally Quinn. Not only is Quinn the doyenne of DC ‘society,’ she also has a columnist gig at the Washington Post for decades....
If only there were SOME institution whose job it was to root out the truths the public has a right to know, skeptical of what interested parties tell them about issues important to our country. We need that, because “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” If only there were a profession called “journalism.” Journalists could use high...
Or…there was until the Trump administration party poopers rode into town. You’ll remember one of the biggest drop-mic revelations was the $20B slush fund new Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin, along with Musk’s DOGE waste-huntin’ hounds found stashed in a sketchy secret Citibank account. That money was allocated to just eight climate-related NGOs in...
Give The Atlantic high marks for chutzpah, along with several thousand demerits for integrity. At a time when the rest of the Protection Racket Media struggles to explain their propagandizing for the Bidens over the last several years, only The Atlantic has the courage to say, You saps got what you deserved if you couldn’t...
