As the late senator from Washington state, Warren Magnuson, who served for more than 30 years in Congress, once said, “All that each industry seeks is a fair advantage over its rivals.” Wilt Chamberlain had a fair advantage on the basketball court because he stood 7-foot-1. It allowed him to score...
FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia — Steve Hotz started Black Horse Forge, a nonprofit organization that provides support for veterans, active-duty military personnel and first responders through the ancient art of blacksmithing. The retired sergeant, who served 17 years in the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, said he started...
On September 4, 2003, Rolling Stone magazine published an article by Stephen Glass. Yes, that Stephen Glass. By 2003 Glass had become one of the most notorious fraudsters in the hostly of journalism. He had outright made up dozens of articles he published in The New Republic in the...
Ed wrote a great piece about the “leak” of the Biden-Hur tapes to POLITICO and all the breathless stories about how Biden really WAS a rambling, senile mess as the Special Counsel questioned him. As I peruse X on my morning stroll through the modern information hellscape, I keep coming across people pretending to be...
On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in the case of Trump v. CASA, Inc. Though the case arises out of President Donald Trump’s January executive order on birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment, Thursday’s oral argument had very little to do with the hotly contested substantive issue of...
Last month, President Donald Trump proudly announced, “Liberation Day! … The day American industry was reborn!” Reborn because of his tariffs, which he called, “the most beautiful word in the dictionary.” This is just wrong. The first time he...
The ‘they’ in ‘they’re’ being the FBI, and no one was more surprised to hear the news than Deputy Director Dan Bongino. YOU JUST GAVE UP A BIG NUGGET THERE The two FBI honchos were on Maria Bartiromo’s show for an interview this morning, and Patel was detailing his plans to start moving FBI personnel...
Good Lord. Just remember when you listen to these tapes of Joe Biden’s deposition with Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigators, courtesy of Axios, when these interrogatories took place. Biden got deposed in October 2023, three months before the Democrat primaries began. The White House still claimed that the man you hear on these tapes was...
Democrats are having screaming fits about Republicans cutting Medicaid benefits for illegal aliens, who are costing tens of billions of dollars. Also: Democrat governors are cutting millions of illegal aliens off of state Medicaid and other health insurance programs because they are costing tens of billions of dollars and thus making providing healthcare for citizens...
Wu, hoo! The feisty staff helping progressive firebrand and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu destroy the city sure looks like they’ve been taking all that pent-up aggression home with them and duking it out after hours for stress relief. Now, to be fair, Mayor Wu is known for having an eclectic governing style, an aggressively confrontational...
Should James Comey go to jail for implicitly threatening the life of the President of the United States? As much as I despise Comey, who is a self-important, arrogant, and power-abusing ass with social skills as tiny as his frame is large, I have to be honest and say that I don’t think he belongs...
Could the Trump administration’s battle with Harvard put its officers in danger of criminal prosecution? With the exception of a foreign researcher who smuggled materials into the country, that seems unlikely to most. The investigations of Harvard’s policies and practices have thus far involved grants and other federal subsidies, along with potential civil liability for...
Ed just wrote an excellent piece on the “Biden Nightmare” being an anvil around the neck of the Democrats. And it is true that both the media and the Democrats have taken a major hit in their approval ratings, and that some Democrats and left-leaning Independents have reconsidered their allegiance to both. And yet, many...
As Democrats loved to remind us ad infinitum, over the last few years: No one is above the law. Right? Right? Looks like we’ll soon find out. The New Jersey Globe reports that one House Democrat will face federal charges for her role in an assault on an ICE facility a week ago that made...
I was going to write about this yesterday, but since the video that sparked a thousand tweets is behind a paywall, I decided to give it a pass. I’ve changed my mind, and since I can give you a gift link, I will let you decide whether you want to visit the Times and watch...
