Another prosecution of the president, in the year of "affordability," would only make Democrats look distracted by ...Read more

Every three years, the committees that write America's model building codes sit down and rewrite them. Every three years, the codes get longer. I have yet to find the cycle in which they took out more than they put in.

Regulation works like a ratchet. Each click tightens. Nothing ever gets loosened up. Every individual requirement sounds ...Read more

It was a meeting of the Monday-Only Millionaires on "The Daily Show" when Jon Stewart interviewed Rachel Maddow to promote her latest book, "Department of Fate," on the latest bad liberal joke: that the Department of Justice should be nonpartisan. As if modern Democrat presidents practiced that.

Abdul El-Sayed's election to the U.S. Senate is consequential. It is also a moment that calls for clear-eyed scrutiny, not panic nor complacency.

He was pontificating -- in the presence of the pope.

"They've been deceiving us. They've known the science. They've denied the science," California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a May 16, 2024, speech at the Vatican.

Who were these deniers?
