President Joe Biden, writes Politico's White House Bureau Chief Jonathan Lemire, "has prioritized deal-making throughout the debt ceiling talks. But with GOP obstinate, Biden is changing tactics."

What in the hell is he talking about, you may wonder. Only last month, Lemaire's publication reported that Biden was "happy to meet" with ...Read more

The just-released Durham report confirmed that the FBI not only failed to corroborate the Steele dossier, Hillary Clinton's oppo-doc against former President Donald Trump, but it regularly ignored existing, sometimes dispositive, evidence to keep the investigation alive. Some officials were credulous. Others were devious. But no one "stole" our ...Read more

"If you buy a car," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained the other day, "you are expected to pay the monthly payment. ... It's that simple."

Is it? Now, obviously, those who argue that the president can cancel millions of student loans by decree aren't in a position to offer lessons on personal responsibility. The deeper ...Read more

The concerted effort by the media and Democrats to delegitimize the Supreme Court is the most consequential attack on our institutions in memory.

Make no mistake. The "Supreme Court Ethics Reform" hearing this week was meant to discredit the high court and slander justices with innuendo. Nothing else. Democrats are angry because the court ...Read more

As with ProPublica's recent smear of Clarence Thomas, there's a lot of excitement across the left-wing Twittersphere over a Politico hit on Neil Gorsuch. But even as a transparent piece of partisan propaganda, it is poorly conceived.

Politico kicks off the piece, "Law firm head bought Gorsuch-owned property," with a purposefully deceptive claim...Read more

How many voters know that the Democratic Party supports legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy on demand for virtually any reason? How many voters know this position aligns with only six other countries in the world -- three of them, not incidentally, being North Korea, Vietnam and China?

How many voters know that Democrats ...Read more

President Joe Biden is set to "transform" and "remake" the entire auto industry -- "first with carrots, now with sticks" -- notes the Washington Post, as if dictating the output of a major industry is within the governing purview of the executive branch. The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing draconian emissions limits for vehicles, ...Read more

Lock Donald Trump up, or don't lock him up, but don't tell me that "no one is above the law." It's one of the most ludicrous fantasies peddled by the left.

Plenty of people are "above the law." James Clapper, who lied under oath to Congress about spying on the American people, is above the law. John Brennan, who lied about a domestic spying ...Read more

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

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

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

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
