DeSantis rightly takes the fight to ESG
If you wonder why Ron DeSantis is such an attractive presidential candidate to many conservatives, it's because he seems to think of everything.

Here's how you can tell Joe Manchin is spineless
The FBI did not find any classified documents at President Joe Biden's Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home after a search Wednesday.

US help for Ukrainians is extremely cheap, considering what they're accomplishing
Every now and then, I hear a piece of commentary about the Ukraine war that makes it sound like we are repeating all the same mistakes we made in Iraq. I absolutely do not believe this is the case. → Read More
NRSC plans to take sides in primaries — but is this really such a good idea?
The National Republican Senatorial Committee is going back to a policy of taking sides in primaries, we report this morning: → Read More
Ilhan Omar feigns ignorance about antisemitism
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who just barely survived a primary election challenge last year in her deep-blue Minneapolis district, is best known nationally for her repeated antisemitic comments. Her House colleagues brought a resolution to the floor specifically addressing her antisemitism. Democratic… → Read More

The Democrats' threat against democracy
Democrats have been dining out on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot for the last two years. But as time goes by and they reveal themselves as increasingly obsessive and power-hungry, they have to overreach further and further for their material. And their newest talking point has to be heard to be believed. → Read More

With the last elections finally decided and the last fundraising reports for 2022 already being compiled, we have well and truly entered the 2024 presidential cycle. → Read More
They signed all these climate agreements, and all we got was a new world record for burning coal
Benjamin Netanyahu has served as prime minister of Israel for more time than anyone else in the country’s history. But as he prepares to return to office, he’s setting another ambitious goal: a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia that would, he told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview, “effectively end the Arab-Israeli conflict.” → Read More

A lot of conservatives were impressed with the race that Republican Kari Lake ran for Arizona governor — particularly by the way she called out the media. The way I saw it, it was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, only with less violence. → Read More
Not all of football's fakers play soccer
Aside from all of FIFA's fouls off the field — the bribery, the slave labor, the deaths of migrant workers in Qatar — this year's World Cup has been surprising for its relative lack of fake injuries. At least, that's been my impression. → Read More
The polls keep telling us Trump is no longer invincible
This is becoming a less and less original topic lately, but the idea of former President Donald Trump trailing anybody in a poll of Republican voters would have been astounding just 40 days ago. Now, it's starting to become commonplace. → Read More
Newsom says he won't challenge Biden, but why would a failing governor even consider it?
