AP Images Joe Biden is in trouble.  While the Republican primary is chronologically far from over, Donald Trump’s current 50-point lead is so commanding that it is virtually a foregone conclusion, barring a drastic turn of fortune, that the 2024 general election will be a rematch between Biden and Trump. On first thought, one might think winning would be a...

SDI Productions/E+/Getty Images A multiracial group of people, many with smart phones, line up along a wall in a school gymnasium in order to vote.

cbies/iStock/Getty Images Plus Donald Trump’s infamous “pee tape” might have been fake news, but one from a Democratic candidate for Virginia’s House of Delegates isn’t. Pro-abortion leftist Jessica Anderson uploaded to TikTok a video of herself urinating in the snow. Yet the import of the unsurprising yet still repellent video isn’t that Anderson, who’s running in the 71st District, thought...

John Whitehead There is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame?— V for Vendetta...

Politics Is this Enough of a Measure of Decline? State of the Union: America remains preponderant, even within a potential multipolarity. Credit: Jose HERNANDEZ A couple of curious news items from the last week raised some important questions about a theoretical prior.  First, the Times of Israel reported that the Biden administration has pushed Israel to slow-roll its Gaza ground...

Noted Gallup: President Joe Biden’s job approval rating among Democrats...

AP Images James Carville in 2018 Even Biden’s staunchest cheerleaders are having second guesses about his chances. In a surprising blow to Joe Biden’s candidacy, James Carville, the “Ragin’ Cajun” political strategist who has become a fixture in establishment Democratic political consulting and commentary, said in a recent interview with The Washington Post that it is “ludicrous” to skirt the...

Veronique de Rugy In the grand ballroom of American politics, Democrats have long waltzed to the melody of progressivism while ridiculing Republicans’ preference for outdated tax-cut tunes. Ironically, they don’t want to pay for their style of big government with higher taxes on ordinary Americans, which their expansionary ambitions would require. Instead, they loudly proclaim that they want to tax...

Robert Malley and Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated the terrible Iranian Deal that violated the Constitution because it was a treaty and did not have the 2/3 approval in the Senate. Instead, it had the approval of the United Nations. On June 29, 2023, Special Envoy to Iran Robert Malley was placed on unpaid leave by the Department of...

Do you want the speaker of the House to speak, or do you want the speaker of the House to herd cats? If it’s the latter, and it usually is, a congressman in his second term seems like the wrong guy. If it’s the former, Byron Donalds is your guy. Obviously, the Floridian presents an opportunity to make history in...

Paul Dragu On October 7, the world was shocked, angered, and saddened to learn that a small army of barbarians living like sardines in a 25-mile stretch of desert broke through Israel’s usually impenetrable southern border and killed more than a thousand Jewish civilians. But the emotion that seemed to take up the most real estate in Western hearts was...

SolStock/iStock/Getty Images Plus Tennessee lawmakers are considering a bold move: forgoing federal education funding in return for regaining control of their state’s public-education system. Last month, Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton and Lieutenant Governor Randy McNally, both Republicans, appointed a 10-member, bipartisan (albeit heavily Republican) panel called the Joint Working Group on Federal Education Funding. According to The Tennessean, the...

Congress is crippled at the moment. It is understandable the Democrats also voted to remove Kevin McCarthy. It is extremely hard to analyze last week’s spectacle on Capitol Hill soberly. A group of just eight extreme right-leaning House Republicans managed to paralyze legislative business in the most powerful country in the world. With the removal of McCarthy as speaker of...

If radical Republicans win the dispute in the House of Representatives, a shutdown will loom in November. The fact that the shutdown was surprisingly averted will please U.S. soldiers and civil servants, who will now continue to get paid. Otherwise, there is bad news with respect to a temporary budget. Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is now in fear of...

After World War I, the U.S. turned its back on Europe, thus allowing Hitler to take power. America’s isolationism today can save Putin. Two weeks ago, now former Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy refused to allow Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was visiting Washington, to address Congress. However, his successor may be even worse for Kyiv. Supported...
