Remember all that discussion of how socialized medicine would lead to “death panels?” It turns out that this worry was far too optimistic about what the future would hold. In Great Britain the trajectory is far darker: as the country rushes to embrace medical murder without any checks on the ability of doctors to push...
Well, maybe not entirely on Capitol Hill Republicans. A couple of weeks ago, the GOP began discussing a hike in the top tax rate to balance out predicted revenue reductions by expanding the state and local tax deduction (SALT) from its current cap at $10,000. The plan would be to get the new reconciliation bill...
There’s shamelessness, and then politician shamelessness. There are a few varieties of politicians. There are the relatively smart con men, the clueless followers who barely attain midwit status, and the vanishingly few politicians who believe in things and mostly tell the truth as they see it. The first group amounts to about 10%, the middle...
As Ed wrote earlier today, Trump’s pick for the job of US Attorney for Washington, DC was pulled after Sen. Thom Tillis refused to support the nomination. But even as he made that announcement Trump said, “We have somebody else that will be great.” This afternoon we’re learning that person is Fox News host Jeanine...
Oh, those crafty mullahs. They thought they were going to pull another slick one on the United States and the world, much as they have been ever since sending the Shah into exile. I’m sure their little hard hearts went pitter-patter listening to President Trump’s interview with Kristen Welker the other day – and you...
Today the NY Times published a lengthy article about the high rate of suicide among police officers. American policing has paid much attention to the dangers faced in the line of duty, from shootouts to ambushes, but it has long neglected a greater threat to officers: themselves. More cops kill themselves every year than are...
Due process for me, not for thee. This story seems to put to rest the Democrats’ commitment to due process. A Heartland Institute/Rasmussen Reports poll has found that 7 out of 10 Democrats would like to see a law passed that would put Elon Musk in jail. FULL STORY:https://t.co/EqwfwI5MAs — Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) May 8,...
Isn’t it amazing how the Protection Racket Media has taken a sudden interest in cognitive disability in Washington DC? And isn’t it amazing what qualifies as symptoms these days? For instance, Joe Biden being bullied by the Easter Bunny, repeatedly losing his train of thought in public, and literally falling down didn’t alarm the Philadelphia...
The Albany Times Union is reporting today, based on anonymous sources, that the FBI has opened an investigation into New York AG Letitia James’ real estate transactions. The FBI in Albany has opened a formal criminal investigation examining the real estate and mortgage transactions of New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to law enforcement...
Blue cities sure love their taxes, and they collect them like Daffy Duck clambering up the side of the pile of gold in Aladdin’s Cave, screaming ‘MINE, MINE, MINE!‘ What’s yours is theirs, theirs, theirs. And they tax it all – everything they can – even if you’re only there for an outing. God...
Something tells me that the foreign-student agitator issue won’t trouble Columbia University for long. They may not get the chance to be troubled by foreign students at all after yesterday’s disgraceful paroxysm of anti-Semitic intimidation and violence. As both John and David have already recounted, pro-Hamas demonstrators seized control of yet another building on the...
There is a left-wing meme being pushed that President Trump’s trade deal with the UK is a sham. As I peruse X to keep up with the news and the Narrative™, NeverTrumpers are trying to pour cold water on Trump’s talk of a deal. It’s for obvious reasons: the more it looks like Trump’s tariffs...
Credit my friend and colleague Katie Pavlich for this disappointing scoop. Rather than continue to fight down to the wire and risk a judicial appointment for US Attorney in Washington DC, Donald Trump has decided to throw in the towel. Ed Martin, a favorite among Trump’s MAGA followers, will instead land in another role at...
As Ed just pointed out, Columbia did a better job handling the pro-Hamas activists on campus yesterday than it has previously. In the evening nearly 80 students who had refused to identify themselves were arrested. I wanted to follow up on a few loose threads. NYPD now arresting student protestors from Columbia University library @CBSNewYork...
This is no malfunction in the Sistine Chapel furnace. That happened in the earlier vote, when a brief puff of white smoke emanated from the morning ballot at the conclave. The Vatican has confirmed that the cardinal electors have chosen a new pontiff to lead the Catholic Church: BREAKING: White smoke appears from the Sistine...
