The “Trump just refounded ISIS” meme is boomeranging around the media echo chamber. A few problems with it… 1. ISIS is still “founded”. It’s just more of a multinational terror network these days than a caliphate. It’s more like Al Qaeda and its physical footprint matters less. And that physical footprint is extremely unlikely to…

A militant abortion organization discriminating against pregnant women? Next thing you’ll tell me that the KKK doesn’t offer good working conditions for black people and that joining ISIS when you’re gay, doesn’t pay.

Deputies held Garcia at the Tulare County jail for 10 hours before releasing…

Senator Elizabeth Warren, in a desperate bid for 2020 relevance, rolled out a plan to create a Office of Drug Manufacturing that would have the government manufacture generic drugs and sell them at a “fair price”. Let’s sidestep all the obvious free market discussions here about the Affordable Drug Manufacturing Act. The government doesn’t have…

The Der Spiegel mess should feel familiar. It’s happened before.Talented young media thing decides to make up plausible stories demonizing conservatives because who’s going to know any better? On Friday night, forty of the young conservatives ditch Lott’s speech and pack a sweaty hotel room on the second floor. On the door someone has taped…

I had just published a piece on New Knowledge and its Senate Intelligence Committee report claiming that the Russians were out to help Trump. New Knowledge claims that it was inspired to set up shop by ISIS and Gamergate. The bizarre equation of Islamic beheading videos and protests by gamers against unethical behavior by gaming…
