The Point

It’s San Francisco. And the purge of ousted DA Chesa Boudin’s pro-crime machine is being handled by Mayor London Breed and her allies. The question is why aren’t Republicans doing this kind of thing? I won’t even waste time rehashing all the ‘left-behinds’ during the Trump administration who not only stayed on the job, but were rewarded with […]

The New York Post has been running this series on the anti-American critical race theory tilt of the homes of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Visitors to Montpelier get to see just three rooms in the sprawling mansion. The estate “made Madison the philosopher, farmer, statesman, and enslaver that he was,” the guide said as […]

The premise of the gun control movement is that private ownership of guns can only be used for evil and that the only way to stop violence is to ban people from owning guns. Never mind the fact that this Bloombergian nonsense doesn’t work and has never actually worked. Criminals will always get their hands […]

A tale of two surveys, one by Pew and one by Gallup, one on media bias and one on media trust. Journalists in the United States differ markedly from the general public in their views of “bothsidesism” – whether journalists should always strive to give equal coverage to all sides of an issue – according to a recent […]

The Ministry of Information is hard at work. The adoption of the term “disinformation” has inevitably meant the media targeting anyone to the Left of its politics with an eye to achieving targeted political outcomes. That’s bad enough especially when pipelined to Big Tech for censorship, but government involvement in “disinformation” is simply state censorship. […]

The Squad is a horrible, pathetic and violently racist and deranged mess. Here’s the latest from Rep. Cori Bush’s campaign. Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.) spent years cultivating a relationship with a pro-Palestinian activist who once tweeted that she wants to “set Israel on fire with my own hands & watch it burn to ashes […]

This happens all too rarely and it’s a shame because it allows leftists and the media to turn their latest monster into a martyr with soft-focused photos and sketches. Arabella Yarbrough says she thought she and her 2 kids were going to die Wed. night, after she says Tekle Sundberg fired these shots through her […]

In the permanent state of insanity we now live in, it’s good to occasionally touch base with reality. That’s what we’ve tried to do in this Mavericks and Outliers conversation with Betsie Saltzberg.

He’s self-interested, and the enemy, but he’s not wrong. The prince said Saudi Arabia had announced raising its production capacity to 13 million barrels per day by 2027 from a nameplate capacity of 12 million now and “after that the Kingdom will not have any more capability to increase production”. He was addressing a U.S.-Arab […]

Some things are so perfect that they were just meant to be. In this case, the two facades of leftist antisemitism joining forces. I wrote about the campaign against Jewish religious schools in 2019. The New York State Department of Education now threatens to shut down Jewish schools and report parents who refuse to send their children […]

Mask fever is sweeping the nation again. Los Angeles has two weeks before the possible resumption of a mask mandate. Never mind that the bay area showed last month that, once again, they don’t work. In early June, during an uptick in COVID-19 cases, Alameda County was the only Bay Area county to bring back an indoor mask mandate. […]

Megan McArdle, the lone sane non-grifter at the Washington Post, joining the effort to save the Democrats from going completely insane while commenting on that ridiculous Senate farce. In even tones, Bridges replied that while many cisgender women have the capacity for pregnancy, many don’t, while some trans men and nonbinary people do. But after […]

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tried to run for president, it didn’t work out, he abandoned his plans to run for governor, and decided to run for a race he could win in a spot cleared by the upending of New York’s old illegal Democrat map, pitting Rep. Nadler and Rep. Maloney […]

Biden’s visit to East Jerusalem was always going to be nasty.  The visiting official refused to let Israelis accompany him to an event with “Palestinians” and just to drive the point home, his limo took off the Israeli flag, emphasizing that he does not recognize a united Jerusalem. US President Joe Biden’s motorcade no longer had Israeli […]

The Working Families Party forgot to take this down. I pledge to vote for Michael DiMassa for State Representative in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, August 9th because I believe we can build a Connecticut that works for all of us, not just the wealthy and well-connected. All of us. The wife of a former Connecticut […]

A little history. One of the reasons that Philly is no longer America’s capital is that when Congress faced an angry mob, local authorities refused to intervene. Washington D.C.’s independence was meant to prevent things like that. And then D.C. residents who consist of either government employees, contractors or welfare cases spent two generations whining […]

The Cloward-Pivening of our immigration system has consequences. And, like this, they’re entirely intended ones. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will run out of money before October unless the Department of Homeland Security pulls millions of dollars from other programs, as the surge of migrants at the border drives up costs, three sources familiar with the […]

What initially started as a gun control debate spiraled into small-town politics, an inept police force, cover-ups, traumatized families, and a search for answers. That’s not new. Something like it happened in Parkland, but the granular details were often overlooked because that school shooting had taken on such a key political role for the gun-control […]

Every now and then the media rolls out another hit piece on J.K. Rowling for the unfathomable crime of objecting to the erasure of women. The latest hit piece comes out of Politico, which decided to take a break from breathlessly reporting on J6 and stories planted by the Biden administration to go after the […]

You can’t spell California without “can”, but it’s running out of cans because scrap recycling is no basis for a first-world manufacturing program. Cans are in short supply nationally, creating an unforeseen headache for brewers and driving up prices for drinkers. A variety of factors are driving the shortage, including pandemic lockdowns that curtailed manufacturing, […]

The DOJ is supposed to be apolitical. Even when it’s really political. What the DOJ is not supposed to do is go on a rant about a Supreme Court decision like it’s run by MSNBC. Unfortunately, that political norm is out the window to the cheers of the “political norms” and “attack on democracy” commentariat […]

Republicans in 2020 attacked Biden over his age. Now Democrats are doing it, insisting that he shouldn’t run because he’s “too old”. (Why Biden and not Pelosi and Clyburn to name a few in the House Dem leadership alone?) I’ve had as much fun cracking senility jokes as anyone else, but tracking Biden’s career, he […]

Biden, the media and the Left eagerly jumped on the story of the pregnant 10-year-old girl and her abortion. What they didn’t want to discuss was her rapist. The answer was both inevitable and unsurprising. The man charged with the rape of a 10-year-old girl in Ohio is a Guatemalan illegal immigrant, an Immigration and Customs […]

It’s not just the J6 hearings, people have stopped paying attention. The level of news consumption in 2021 took a nosedive following historic highs in 2020. Despite a slew of major stories, readers have retrenched further in 2022. The war in Ukraine, a series of deadly mass shootings, the Jan. 6 hearings and the Supreme Court’s revocation […]

Someone had to fire the first shot in the circular firing squad. And it was always going to come from the Left. No matter how much Biden appeases the Marxists, they’re always going to turn on him. It’s the nature of the snake. And yet too many Democrats think that the extremists who want to […]
