The Point

I had already debunked this completely misleading claim from the CDC even before it spread widely and before Biden incorporated it into his gun control speech.  After the Uvalde school shooting, the CDC and the media are pushing a misleading claim that, “firearms were the leading cause of death for kids one and older for the […]

Conservatives have plenty of experience with being deplatformed and having speaking engagements canceled. So this is nothing new. A few years ago, we helped launch the Jewish Leadership Conference, an annual gathering to consider the challenges facing the Jewish people and Israel. It is hosted by Tikvah, a 20-year old Jewish educational and cultural institution […]

Jen Psaki turned White House press conferences into a Twitter account, heavy on mindless smug snark and mindless talking points and light on everything else. But it turns out that Psaki was just using that to audition for an MSNBC gig.  After Psaki though, expect things to get even worse. The White House announced Thursday […]

Instead of actually increasing supply, Biden is using taxpayer money as a campaign tactic while playing a dangerous game. Biden is once again tapping into the country’s backup oil supply to fight soaring gas prices caused in part by the Russia-Ukraine war, and the latest withdrawal will bring it to its lowest level in almost 40 years. The country’s Strategic […]

Three generations after segregation, it’s like we’re living in an even more racially paranoid and segregated system where all government priorities and benefits are allocated by skin color.  In the latest Biden administration press release, there’s exciting news about its “environmental justice” strategy. And while it comes from the DOJ, the only definition of justice […]

How reprehensible does a prosecutor have to be for a grand jury to write a letter demanding action? Members of a grand jury that indicted an investigator in the criminal case against former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens urged a state disciplinary board to take stronger action against St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, calling her […]

Fireman arsonist syndrome rears its ugly head again. After more than two years of Covid-19, plenty of people are lowering their guards. But the pandemic isn’t over yet — and, Bill Gates warns, the worst might still be ahead. “We’re still at risk of this pandemic generating a variant that would be even more transmissive and even […]

This is the cruel reality of culture war weaponized transgender identity politics. A government-funded rape crisis centre is being sued by a sexual assault survivor for allowing a transgender woman to access its female-only support group. The rape victim, who has been granted court anonymity but goes by the name Sarah, sought counselling from the […]

Interesting definition of democracy. Kamala Harris reemerged to convince Democrats not to put her on an ice floe and push her to Japan by trying to show that she can absolutely exploit the latest lefty attempt to play identity politics by using her one attribute that no one except Ketanji Brown Jackson can deny that […]

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat needs a DNA test. Consider one race in Ohio an early warning sign of the inevitable implosion of the Democrats, topped by a wildly unpopular POTUS and VP, with a lefty insurgency ravening for a takeover. Rep. Shontel Brown beat Nina Turner. Again.  That may not be on your […]

When they’re not cashing in on murdered babies by selling their parts, they’re doing it with fundraising. Democrats and their affiliated outside groups have raised more than $7 million since a report first unveiled a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the historic Roe v. Wade ruling and allow states to restrict abortions. The donation […]

The simplest paradigm for predicting leftist tactics is understanding that the things they’re accusing you of are the very same things that they have already done or, more likely, are planning to do. Where do you think they got the idea? Even as the Jan 6 Committee does its dog and pony show, the Democratic […]

I’m sure that the Biden administration has a plan. And I’m sure the plan involves a commission to focus on diversity, equity and inclusion in treasury bond sales. Perhaps subsidizing bond purchases for failed African and Latin American countries. Not to mention CHAZ. In the real world though, the financial mess is worsening. In times […]

I say that as a social conservative, but it’s possible to believe in a cause morally and have an objective position on the legal measures used to sustain it. So I find both Roe v. Wade and the Texas abortion law legally unsupportable.  But Roe. v. Wade was always a legal absurdity that never made […]

After a few years in which “women” disappeared, to be replaced by “birthing people”, “pregnant people”, “bleeders” and other euphemisms, they’re back. Suddenly Democrats and the media are talking about “women” again. It’s exciting stuff and a reminder that to the Left, people only exist as victimhood categories to be mobilized and organized for action. […]

The new book, Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History Of Germany’s Wealthiest Dynasties, is making the rounds of the media.  There’s nothing terribly new here. The defeat of Nazi Germany left most of the corporatist hierarchy intact. The big German companies that had supported and collaborated with the Nazis and even used slave labor rebounded and became […]

Don’t worry about the new disinformation governance board. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday defended the department’s new disinformation board amid pushback from conservatives who say the effort is Orwellian. “It works to ensure that the way in which we address threats, the connectivity between threats and acts of violence are addressed without infringing […]

This monster, not having a conscience of his own, would like to “shock your conscience”. A state senator from Franklin County has called for the immediate resignation of Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Richard ‘Rachel’ Levine, saying his actions were a major factor in the large number of covid-19 cases and deaths in the state’s nursing […]

This is what winning looks like. “In private meetings and coaching sessions over the past few weeks, top business leaders have been asking a version of the same question: How can we avoid becoming the next Walt Disney Co.? “ After decades of Republican governors caving to woke corporate pressure, afraid to pay a price for social conservatism, Gov. […]

I love the smell of “freedom” in the morning. The reclusive Taliban chief, in a rare public appearance, Sunday hailed what he said was the return of security and the Islamic system to Afghanistan after his hardline group seized power last August. “Congratulations on this victory, freedom and success,” Hibatullah Akhundzada told several thousand worshippers […]

This is a little awkward since the Biden administration was just pushing to remove the IRGC from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations.  The Mossad – operating in Iran – apprehended and interrogated an Iranian national who was leading a plot to kill an Israeli diplomat and a US general, sources have confirmed. An audio […]

This is fine. Portland police responded to four shootings and four major traffic incidents Friday night and Saturday morning, in what officers labeled an “extremely busy night” that left them unable to respond to some lower-priority 911 calls. The shootings left at least five people injured and two dead in a murder-suicide. The traffic incidents […]

The Fourteenth Amendment states that, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor […]

As Megan McArdle already laid out in the Washington Post, the Musk Twitter thing has sent everyone’s political sensors spinning around. In the last 5 years, conservatives have had to reckon with the reality that having a handful of monopolies control the internet is a really bad idea. And that there has to be some […]

The correct answer to the question, “When should you arm and deploy Jihadists? is, “Absolutely never.” Unfortunately, it’s a lesson that absolutely nobody has learned. That includes us, it also includes the Russians. Putin envisions a Greater Russia built around an Islamic alliance and has claimed that Islam is closer to Russian Orthodoxy than any […]
