An interesting question with troubling implications. The Justice Department is increasingly seeking and receiving permission to secretly reach into Americans’ computers to delete malware — a shift officials say reflects a growing embrace of aggressive and creative tactics for combating a surge in cyberattacks.

A reminder that the crush on Sen. Manchin, like on most Democrats, liberals, and lefties who take the right position on some things is a one-sided proposition. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday defended the bipartisan Senate agreement on gun reform reached over the weekend in the wake of the latest spate of mass shootings, saying none…

This is what happens when celebrities have no self-awareness. But to be a celebrity is to have no self-awareness.

Give Biden some credit for consistency. Whatever’s going on, it’s always someone’s fault. Even when, like his claim that Inflation is the fault of greedy companies, an obvious lie. President Joe Biden told donors at a fundraising event in Los Angeles on Friday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “didn’t want to hear it” when U.S.…
