When Democrats and their loyal stenographers in the media all peddle the same verbatim line, that’s a pretty good sign that it’s the opposite of the truth. So the already hackneyed declaration that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris hopes will replace her as vice president, is “folksy.” But the move […]
George Soros turns 94 on Aug. 12. The left-wing billionaire, enemy No. 1 of the Republican Party, is losing on many fronts. His vision was a test trial in progressivism. One laboratory was the self-styled racial justice riots of 2020. It looks, nowadays, like a failed social experiment. The historic financial nightmare of Black Lives […]
Unburdened by what has been, President Joe Biden used the time freed up from having to campaign to unveil his Supreme Court “reform.” This proposal comes in three parts: (1) term limits, (2) a new ethics code, and (3) reversing the end-of-term ruling that grants presidents immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. At a […]
President Joe Biden is in a strange position. For what is likely the second time in his life, Biden is staring at the end of his career. Close to a decade ago, he was passed over in favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Behind the scenes, his boss, President Barack Obama, and top […]
You know crime is out of control when someone like Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is willing to contradict himself and other elected Democrats to insert himself into local politics to try and fix the problem. Such is the case in Oakland, California.

I grew up in Minnesota and used to work for the state GOP. I’m a bit surprised to see Vice President Kamala Harris choose Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) as her running mate. He boasts a progressive record, and a poor one, at that. Plus, she didn’t really need Minnesota’s electoral votes — she had already […]
Thirty-five years after Pete Rose was banned from baseball for betting on games, the question of whether his punishment fits the crime generates as much debate as ever. While HBO’s new documentary Charlie Hustle and the Matter of Pete Rose won’t settle the controversy, it will remind audiences of why Rose’s case inspires so much […]
Gas prices dropped again on Friday, marking yet another day of decreases at the pumps. Friday’s dip resulted in gas prices costing over six cents per gallon less than a month ago. Friday’s decrease meant the average price for a gallon of regular gas in the United States was $3.454, according to AAA. This was […]
“Laws,” F.A. Hayek wrote, “must be general, equal, and certain.” An open society rests on public confidence in the impartiality of police and courts. Sometimes, that impartiality gives way under stress. It happened, for example, during the pandemic, when anti-lockdown protesters were repressed while Black Lives Matter protesters were indulged, and when 1,200 public health […]
Austrian law enforcement thwarted a terrorist attack at Taylor Swift’s shows in Vienna this week, the latest example of an attempted act of terrorism at a musical performance. The primary alleged perpetrator in this case, a 19-year-old, confessed to law enforcement that he started planning the attack last month and uploaded an oath of allegiance […]
