There Are No Banned Books!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

While checking out the "banned and challenged" display at my local Barnes & Noble recently, I was reminded that the entire kerfuffle is a giant racket. For publishers and booksellers, "banned" books are likely a money-making racket. Virtually every allegedly "banned" book on the display table is already a massive (sometimes generational) ...Read more

Democrats Deserve Plenty of Blame for the Bank Crisis!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

The United States recently suffered the second largest bank failure in the country's history. The consensus view is that Silicon Valley Bank made a huge mistake by borrowing short term and then parking money in long-term bonds. When interest rates rose, assets lost value, and SVB was put in a perilous position.

President Joe Biden promises ...Read more

Dem, Media Hypocrisy Over Targeting of Companies

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

When Disney began lobbying against a parental-rights bill in Florida that would prohibit public school teachers from discussing sex, sexual orientation or so-called gender identity with prepubescent kids in kindergarten through third grade, Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed a special session of the legislature to review Walt Disney World's 50-year-old ...Read more

Questioning Biden's Ukraine Policy Doesn't Make You an 'Isolationist'

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

It's not exactly a sign of a healthy democratic discourse that it's virtually impossible to ask a critical question about the United States' role in the Ukraine-Russia conflict without being smeared as a Putin apologist or an "isolationist."

We've been bombarded with bromides about a civilizational struggle that pits the forces of autocracy and...Read more

We Don't Need a 'National Divorce'; We Need More Federalism

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Marjorie Taylor Greene says the country needs a "national divorce." "We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government," she tweeted. "Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat's traitorous America Last policies, we are done."

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper Is a Liar!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

In an interview with The Washington Post's "fact-checker," former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper contends that Politico misled the public about a letter he and 50 other former intel officials signed during the 2020 presidential campaign warning that the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story could be Russian deception. "There...Read more

Don't Fall For Biden's Lies, Half-Truths and Deceptions!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Like Nero bragging about rebuilding Circus Maximus after burning it down, President Joe Biden took to the podium Tuesday night to take credit for solving a slew of problems he helped create.

At the top of his State of the Union address, the president boasted that he had "more jobs created in two years than any president has created in four ...Read more

GOP Right To Deny Ilhan Omar a Committee Seat!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Poor Ilhan Omar has been denied a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

"I certainly did not or was not aware that the word 'hypnotized' was a trope," the congresswoman told CNN's Dana Bash this week. "I wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been a very enlightening part of this journey."

And what...Read more

Get Ready for Another Cynical, Useless, Gun-Control Push by Democrats!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

The first question any reasonable person asks after a horrible crime is, "What could have been done to stop it?" Yet after every mass shooting, gun controllers suggest unworkable, unconstitutional, completely ineffectual ideas that target people who will never commit a crime.

After the twin mass shootings in California last week, Gov. Gavin ...Read more

Provorov Will Be Forever Smeared by the Closed-Minded Media Who Write About Him!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov refused to take a pregame skate Tuesday night in the team's LGBTQ+ warmup jersey, citing his preference "to stay true to myself and my religion," which is Russian Orthodox. "I respect everyone. I respect everybody's choices," said the only player who refused to participate in Pride Night.

Joe Biden Is Out of Excuses On Classified Documents!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Every president probably stashes away classified documents. The chances of any president being successfully prosecuted for pilfering them are infinitesimal. Nevertheless, Joe Biden has engaged in the same behavior as Donald Trump -- perhaps worse, since vice presidents are unable to declassify documents -- and precedent and transparency, our ...Read more

Mainstream Media Exhumes Enviro Cult Leader for a New Round of Scaremongering!

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

Earth is headed for a sixth extinction, warned biologist Paul Ehrlich on "60 Minutes" this Sunday. And since Ehrlich has predicted about 20 extinctions over the past 60 years, he's a leading expert on the issue.

Couldn't "60 Minutes" find a fresh-faced, yet-to-be-discredited neo-Malthusian to hyperventilate about the end of the world? Why didn'...Read more
