The Point

This shouldn’t be hard. The first two of the Islamic terror attacks on Israel were claimed by ISIS. I can understand that Biden doesn’t want to condemn Hamas or the PLO, which he continues to support and fund, but ISIS. Come on, man. “President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett […]

Once again the Left, the Taliban, and China are on the same page.  Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued strong backing for Afghanistan at a regional conference Thursday, while making no mention of human rights abuses by the country’s Taliban leaders. China’s foreign minister, meanwhile, led calls for the U.S. to unfreeze Afghan assets held abroad […]

Senate Republicans mishandled the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings in the familiar way that politicians do. There were too many efforts by individual politicians to play to their social media audiences. And the hearings went ahead without the full release or availability of materials on her caseload.  While some conservatives opposed making the hearings about her work […]

The media keeps talking about an “attack on democracy”. America is a Republic, but here’s what a real attack on democracy looks like. It’s a calculated effort to manipulate the system in order to suborn the ability of voters to choose their elected officials by making their votes irrelevant for partisan purposes. Here it is […]

I’m not a big fan of the current prime minister, but I have to say that unlike the United States this is not a “right-wing” political sentiment.  During a wave of previous attacks, politicians who are not on the right including, famously, Mayor Nir Barkat of Jerusalem, made similar statements. “What is expected of you, […]

And now you know the rest of the story. No actual surprises here. I’ve been telling people for a while that this is how it works. But this is the first direct insight from someone whose job it was to moderate this kind of thing coming forward and talking about how corrupted and broken the […]

Remember all those classic stories about computers watching your every move. We live in that best of all possible worlds. Unfortunately, our tech overlords are human and they keep programming the computers to police our behavior and our thoughts. On that note, Google Docs will now “flag” language that isn’t sufficiently inclusive or that the […]

The media is going through its usual routine of canvassing GOP Senate members and finding out who might be willing to vote for the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson. The pretense here is that if Jackson weren’t black, more Republicans than just Susan Collins would be willing to vote for her. Of course, that’s a lie. […]

The phrase, “Hoist on your own petard” comes from Hamlet. The Southern Poverty Law Center comes from a direct mail scam run by a KKK lawyer. What’s the relevance, you ask?  When you spend all your time accusing others of racism, it’s bound to boomerang. SPLC Union members protested outside of their employer’s office Monday […]

Marvel’s movie sausage factory has scored over $25 billion worldwide. Disney’s theme parks are still profitable, in the billions, but they’re one of the least profitable elements of the Mouse Empire. (Forget Mickey and Donald, even Disney may not be able to bribe enough D.C. politicians to hang on to the IP rights.) Disney still […]

Good news everybody.  Oil price worries are a thing of the past. No, Joe isn’t about to authorize domestic drilling. But he’s going to release 1 million barrels of oil. That’s right I said, 1 million barrels.  Biden Plan Would Release a Million Barrels of Oil a Day From Reserve  – New York Times Sounds […]

Ever since Democrats decided to become the party of crime, opening up prisons, eliminating bail, and lynching cops while cheering riots, their cities have become dangerous violent hellholes. Unfortunately they have to choose between one of those violent hellholes in a swing state where the wretched hive of local scum will be overrun with even […]

What is it with Commies and New World Orders? One week Biden is pitching a new world order and next week it’s Russia. Utopian political messianism is a hell of a drug. It also seems to make the users dumber. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov promoted a new “world order” with China on Wednesday ahead […]

Just because politics is downstream of culture doesn’t mean that everything that happens in the culture is political. I’ve resisted tweeting, posting, and writing about the latest stupid thing everyone is supposed to be discussing until now. And the only thing I have to say about it now (and probably the only thing worth saying […]

Can members of the Biden administration check their stationary occasionally? It might give them a clue which country they work for. Work for, not rule. But, as usual, they prioritize any and every country over their own. Deputy U.S. Secretary of State Wendy Sherman warned that Russia’s war in Ukraine has exacerbated a global food […]

In the New York City mayoral race, the Dems were fortunate enough that Eric Adams, an anti-crime candidate, became the nominee, rather than the AOC-backed troll, and that the GOP candidate, who should have been able to deliver a compelling anti-crime message based on his history instead proved to be erratic, awkward, and past his […]

Another data point for the preference cascade. In Jan, 20% of Americans thought COVID was the most important problem facing Americans, in Feb it was 13%, and in March, it’s down to 3%.  Tied with health care and lack of energy sources. Inflation has gone from 8% to 10% to 17%. The economy is at […]

All better now. The Federal Election Commission has fined the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for lying about the funding of the infamous, and discredited, Russian “dossier” used in a smear attempt against Donald Trump weeks before he shocked the world with his 2016 presidential victory. The election agency said that Clinton […]

Ineptitude and corruption are not a new phenomenon for Russia’s military which has always made up for in sheer numbers, ruthlessness, and firepower what it lacked in strategic and logistic areas, not to mention morale. Russia’s military has combined aspirational First World equipment with Third World people. But there’s no reason to gloat. It’s not at […]

From the mouth of an American leader whom the world was prone to take more seriously, a comment that Putin shouldn’t be in power would have significant consequences. It’s probably a good thing that no one, from Moscow to London to Paris to Berlin, and parts beyond, cares what Biden thinks on the matter. Not since […]

Venezuela is not just another socialist Latin American dictatorship. In the last 5 years, law enforcement and the justice system have identified its regime as the leadership of an international drug cartel. Narcosocialism and narcoterrorism are not unusual phenomena in the region, but the failure to remove Maduro, who heads the regime and a drug […]

1. Ramadan and the period around it is often a time of escalating Islamic terrorism. 2. Even so this is one of the worst terror death tolls in Israel within such a limited time frame in quite a long time. 3. The wave of terror coincides with Secretary of State Blinken’s visit, the visits of […]

Biden has released his giant pork budget. Like most White House budgets, it is likely to sink into the waters of the Potomac without a trace, nevertheless it’s worth noting the misguided priorities here. Much like his giant pork Build Back Better sandwich, there are billions lavished selfishly and corruptly on his green energy donors. […]

One of my most frequent themes is that the Left has a broad spectrum strategy that is also focused on a variety of microscopic details. Conservatives don’t. That’s why there are a million stories like this flying by the radar of conservatives.  The Biden administration said Thursday it is taking what it called a “first […]

More green follies from a budget that is happy to spend the green while kicking inflation up another notch. Increases Demand for American Made, Zero-Emission Vehicles through Federal Procurement.  The Budget invests $757 million for zero-emission fleet vehicles and supporting charging or fueling infrastructure in the individual budgets of 19 Federal agencies to provide an […]
