This morning’s Gospel reading is Luke 19:28–40: Jesus proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem. As he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples. He said, “Go into the village opposite you, and as you enter it you will find a colt...

        After President Donald Trump imposed broad tariffs, some of his left-wing critics began quoting economists like Milton Friedman, who adamantly believed in unilateral free trade.         Friedman preferred that our trading partners refrain from imposing barriers on goods imported from the United States.

An actual judge in an actual courtroom actually ruled in favor of the Trump administration and said they were free to boot Hamas-loving Columbia University ‘student’ Mahmoud Khalil.

Part of that strategy consisted of making sure their 2024 presidential nominee stayed out of Wisconsin, as it turns out.  Of course, one has to read more than two-thirds of the New York Times’ profile of Kamala Harris and...

CNN data analyst Harry Enten had a segment this morning which hammered home a message Democrats have been struggling with for months.
