Arlington Republicans say ‘Make DC Square Again’ is ‘just not serious’

ARLINGTON, Virginia — Arlington Republicans are rolling their eyes at the Make DC Square Again Act. Matthew Hurtt, chairman of the Arlington County Republican Committee, made it clear he does not view the proposal to return Arlington to Washington, D.C., as a serious or viable policy idea. The proposal, introduced by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), […]

What would really happen if America abdicated its role as world leader

Those pretty faces might always make the United States stand out in the crowd, but rest assured, the free world will desperately want it back in charge should it ever go its own way. And make no mistake, there are those who would like to see it do just that. While President Donald Trump has […]

America goes to war, but Congress is AWOL

In theory, Congress is a separate and coequal branch of the United States government. The U.S. Constitution, the American republic’s most sacred document, vests extraordinary power in the men and women who occupy seats in the legislature, including writing laws and establishing the tax code, funding federal agencies, and overseeing how the executive branch implements […]

Significant renovations were planned for the White House long before Trump

When President Donald Trump was a real estate mogul, he was known for his lavish architectural designs for residential and commercial buildings, hotels, casinos, golf courses, and more.

King Charles III visits US as Starmer weakens the special relationship — and his country

The VIP-configured Airbus took off from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on the afternoon of April 28, bound for Bermuda. King Charles III and Queen Camilla had kept calm and carried on.

Steve Carell’s ‘Rooster’ vision of the university is a lie

Here’s a crazy casting idea: Steve Carell as a clueless blunderer unable to grasp even the most rudimentary of social cues.

AI could have made the new Michael Jackson movie

To the best of my knowledge, the new biopic of Michael Jackson does not rely on assistance from AI, but the experience of watching it is still akin to being subjected to over two hours of AI slop. Just as we know that many AI images are unreal but remain incapable of turning away from […]

A drab and dour Lena Dunham

Millennials are finally old. A New York Times op-ed declared that the generation’s “task now is figuring out how to age gracefully into this next phase of the generational life cycle.” The Wall Street Journal reported in 2024 that the generation born between roughly the early 1980s and mid-1990s is entering midlife even wealthier than […]

Is Todd Blanche acing his attorney general job interview?

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has gone all out to make his temporary job permanent. Blanche has been everywhere since taking over the Justice Department following then-Attorney General Pam Bondi’s departure in early April. He’s fast-tracked inquiries into President Donald Trump’s political enemies, such as ex-CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, […]
