A study of drinking in the United Kingdom by researchers in Spain and Boston is being used by public health officials to call for action by governments, from taxation to advocacy to enforcement, that would lead to less alcohol consumption. “This cohort study in 135,103 older drinkers found that even low-risk drinking was associated with […]
Here’s my synopsis for The Instigators, Apple TV+’s messy straight-to-streamer led by Matt Damon and Casey Affleck: After botching an election-night robbery, two dim-but-affable Boston bros (and one of their shrinks) outrun the police as they bicker like they’re in couples therapy. It’s a heist movie on a psychiatrist’s couch. It’s a parody of a […]
Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have inherited President Joe Biden‘s polling advantage among seniors despite former President Donald Trump‘s appeals to the demographic and past performance. While much has been made of the enthusiasm for Harris among Generation Z voters, memes and all, seniors have traditionally been a more reliable voting group, and Trump […]
There’s at least one thing Republican and Democratic campaigns both have apparent affinities for: altering news headlines to try and score points with voters. The campaigns of several Republican elected officials and a former GOP lawmaker have previously manipulated news headlines and article descriptions in Google Search ads to target voters, the Washington Examiner has […]
What must David Mamet think of The Decameron, Netflix’s laughless comedy of medieval prurience and plague? In the 1990s, long before his turn as a conservative provocateur, the dramatist was famous in iconoclastic circles for his condemnation of modern acting, with its endless “funny voices.” Yet strained artificiality is the new production’s primary mode, not […]
Multiple defendants from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol who faced charges for obstructing Congress are seeing those charges dropped, according to a Washington Examiner review of court records, after the Supreme Court ruled that the Justice Department had applied the charge too broadly. In the case known as Fischer v. United […]
Deborah Cunningham-Skurnik has been to Democratic National Conventions in the past, but this year just feels different. “I’ve been waiting for this,” the California Democratic Party regional director told the Washington Examiner. “[The party] is on target with their messaging, and it’s really resonating well with Democrats. No party preference and even moderates seem to be very eager to […]
RNC co-chairwoman Lara Trump suggested the current hype surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign will “wear off” come the next presidential debate — this time between former President Donald Trump and Harris. President Joe Biden dropped out of his bid for reelection in July a few weeks after his poor debate performance against Trump, […]
Although Democrats deposed President Joe Biden from the top of their 2024 ticket, installing Vice President Kamala Harris in place of the man who appointed her his second-in-command, the fundamentals of the case for GOP nominee Donald Trump theoretically should not have changed. While replacing the oldest president in history with a comely 59-year-old neutralized […]
Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), is seeking to dissolve a charity he formed after he published his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, which has since been adapted into a movie. He created two nonprofit groups in 2016 to address problems in his home state of Ohio and other Rust Belt states. The […]
