A little but premature, but not at all surprising. Former ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings compared Americans to “a nation of two-year olds” for voting for Republicans during the midterms. “Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling…

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley didn’t hesitate to bash Trump, but he’s working overtime to protect Biden over the linkage between Afghanistan and Ukraine. When pressed by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican, on the Afghanistan withdrawal and whether it played a part in Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine, Milley…

What happens when one party has total control over a state while its only form of political competitiveness comes from adopting increasingly leftist positions? California isn’t the only example, but it may be the single most notorious one. The idea of a 32-hour full-time work week is being debated in the California State Legislature. “Debated.”…

Biden promised black voters in South Carolina he would pick a black woman. And he did. The result doesn’t represent America, the law or the Constitution, just people who fit a particular identity group.  And that’s the victory message that Ketanji Brown Jackson had in her speech.  “It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for…

Not all that long ago any such efforts were stymied by administration pressure and the reluctance of NATO members. Now Slovakia is providing its S-300 defense system to Ukraine while we’re sending them Patriot missiles. And NATO is urging members to provide heavy weapons. Why the shift? The most obvious answer is that Russia is…
