The Point

If you believe lefties, Senator Sinema is a terrible traitor who’s ripe to be primaried. And who does everything she does to appeal to wealthy special interests while selling out her everyday supporters. Oddly that’s not what the money trail shows. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) raised $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2022, and nearly 75% […]

Here we go again. The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has criticised the global community’s focus on the war in Ukraine, arguing that crises elsewhere, including in his home country of Ethiopia, are not being given equal consideration, possibly because the people affected are not white. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus questioned whether “the world really […]

Whew. California’s air regulators unveiled a plan Wednesday that would require about one-third of all new passenger cars and trucks sold in the state to be zero-emission electric vehicles, or EVs, by 2025. Note the trucks part of that. This lunacy is only getting started. The proposal by the California Air Resources Board would require 35% of […]

Can it happen> Before former Gov. Elliot Spitzer, the odds of getting Amazon and every online retailer to collect sales tax seemed dim. And now it’s taken for granted. Governments love introducing all sorts of taxes and fees and fines on the thinnest of pretexts. So why not start charging every streaming service and then […]

The hypocrisy here is both commonplace and astounding. GLAAD and other gay rights groups list Warners as an “ally”. After Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was canceled for standing up for the rights of women against the transgender movement, the studio began carefully distancing itself from her and even pulling her name from the new […]

Here’s the interesting thing that happened when the Pennsylvania Senate voted on fraud prevention and election integrity bills. Ballot drop boxes and private funding of elections would be banned in Pennsylvania under legislation that passed the Senate on Wednesday. The ballot drop box ban passed the chamber on a 29-20 party-line vote. The measure barring the use private money to […]

Not the racial supremacist the media was looking for, but maybe the one the media should have been talking about. A troubled man who railed against Mayor Eric Adams and made bizarre, threatening rants on YouTube has been identified as a person of interest — and now a suspect — in the savage Brooklyn subway attack that injured […]

Biden and the Dems have a problem. Unless the Ukraine war continues indefinitely, the Putin’s Price Hike lie is going to run out of juice. And the price hikes are going to keep rolling on. The upstream picture, which is where the real economic sausage is made, keeps looking bleaker. The prices that goods and services […]

If you’re just joining us, Black Lives Matter is in turmoil over, among other things, a $6 million mansion and its dubious family business finances. George Floyd’s death triggered an outpouring of contributions to BLMGNF, and in October 2020, the organization received an infusion of $66.5 million from its fiscal sponsor — an intermediary commonly […]

How long until some of the woke brass escalate to proposing bombing runs? For now, Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones issued a wildly inappropriate official statement about laws like those of Texas, which notified social workers that they were obligated to monitor abuses, such as subjecting children to “reassignment surgeries that can […]

There are two ways to view the Hunter Biden investigation and the growing number of reports about it including the New York Times and the Washington Post signing off on the infamous laptop. 1. They’re preparing the ground for exculpating Hunter 2. They’re preparing the ground for forcing out Joe Biden The two are not […]

During the COVID lockdowns, protesters against the lockdowns were arrested, in violation of the Bill of Rights, churches and synagogues were closed, funerals and weddings were denounced as selfish, until suddenly, the Black Lives Matter riots took off and protesting in groups of thousands became a good thing because it was all very emotional and […]

Lefties ran over free speech and left it bleeding on the side of the road. But they keep pretending that they’re for some notion of free speech even as they denounce it. Here’s Bill Clinton’s favorite troll, Robert Reich contradicting himself in a handful of paragraphs. The Russian people know little about Putin’s war on […]

In January, I wrote about the ridiculous hubris behind the launch of CNN+. CNN Airport, its captive audience operation, shut down earlier this year. And CNN isn’t far behind. CNN+ is the network’s bet that enough people will pay 6 bucks a month to watch it. CNN’s effort to launch CNN+, a paid streaming service, […]

Crime is up in general. With Democrats eliminating bail and diverting criminals to all sorts of non-penal programs, thugs have nothing to fear and they can get arrested, be out again, and then arrested again. This has obvious consequences for a range of crimes, including antisemitic attacks which, in New York City, tend to be the […]

The only consistent thing about the science here is that it’s political science. U.S. service members who are HIV-positive cannot be discharged or barred from becoming an officer solely because they’re infected with the virus, a federal judge in Virginia ruled. Advocates say it’s one of the strongest rulings in years for people living with […]

Bold argument. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (S.C) said in an interview on Thursday that Democrats need to make the way Republicans on the Judiciary committee treated Jackson part of their argument in the coming months, conveying the message that the GOP is not the party of Lincoln.  “Would Lincoln have treated her that way?” […]

I know Russia is exploring some extraordinary technology, but I don’t think they have time machines. Nonetheless future MSNBC commentator Jen Psaki, lying right to the faces of the press, while expecting the public to have no memory of anything that happened before February, pushes that bizarre lie. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said […]

… just when you thought it was safe to go shopping. Is the public health security state gone? Not so far. Early on I predicted that, contrary to some conspiracy theory predictions, it would not be permanent. People would get tired of it and the system, as if often does, moves on before sufficient resistance […]

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 […]

Does Nancy really want to test how deep China’s pockets are? But apparently, Pelosi was unhappy to be part of the Mean Girls caucus. ‘Pelosi was the only Democrat in the chamber — the only Democrat alive — who had already served as Speaker, who had shown she could do the legislative arithmetic and twist the […]

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.” […]

I’m skeptical of the 90% of the spin in the Wall Street Journal article which attributes this as a response to the Ukraine conflict.  The Chinese nuclear effort long predates Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but the U.S.’s wariness about getting directly involved in the war there has likely reinforced Beijing’s decision to put greater emphasis on […]

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 […]

Apparently building Amtrak stations isn’t everything. This is awkward news for Biden who keeps using Delaware to invent a fake middle-class and local background. But people in Delaware are no more fond of Biden than anywhere else. The Civicqs survey says that Biden’s job approval is deep underwater in Delaware with 52% disapproving and only 38% approving. […]
