Sitting on a chair, on his own, Charles Burns looks exhausted. He has a big, woolly hat on, emblazoned with the word DALLAS, and he’s wrapped up for the cold. But his shoulders are hunched and his eyes are glazed. Smiling takes effort. He is taking refuge at a so-called warming shelter in the town

Hollywood elites are paid dramatizers. It’s no wonder they spewed hatred when Trump was acquitted. On Feb. 13, the Senate voted 57-43 to convict Trump of inciting insurrection and since 67 votes were required for conviction, Trump was acquitted. Since most of Hollywood is against Trump, or anything slightly right-wing, many celebrities were quick to
The Biden White House released this video of spokesperson Jen Psaki answering softball questions from Twitter. It’s shot with professional lighting and multiple cameras, so some thought must have gone into the production, if not the answers. Psaki picks the questions and therefore has all the time in the world to come up with answers.
I saw this floating around on Twitter and my first thought was that it must be fake. But then I came across a NY Post story about it and, incredibly, this may be real. A city public school principal is asking parents to “reflect” on their “whiteness” — passing out literature that extols “white traitors’’
Invariably, you see TV, radio, and even grocery store public address systems saying “Attention shoppers, please wear your face diaper and treat your fellow shoppers as if they are carrying the Bubonic Plague and could kill you on the spot by merely glancing in your direction.” The announcement continues: “Because after all, we are all in
I’m sure people have used that phrase over the years as a parody of where immigration euphemisms were headed, and now, thanks to the Biden administration, it has officially arrived. From the Axios afternoon email (and here’s a link to the story): The Biden administration is urging officials to use more inclusive terms for immigrants,
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to guarantee Tuesday that taxpayers would not be forced to fund abortions as part of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package dubbed the “American Rescue Plan” currently being pushed by President Joe Biden.

Parts of Texas were in a dangerous situation Tuesday as back-to-back freezing weather systems left the Lone Star state with rolling blackouts as the power grid struggled to heat homes. But while the broadcast networks gawked at their plight, one even blaming it on a lack of federal control, they failed to tell viewers the
The people who hand out Emmy Awards should ask New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to return the one they gave him. Cuomo received an Emmy for what they called his “masterful” COVID-19 press briefings. The media lauded those performances, extolling his honesty and transparency. It now turns out he was as honest as many other

NRPLUS MEMBER ARTICLE T his past Sunday, Bill Gates (net worth, $133 billion) and Anderson Cooper ($110 million) got together on 60 Minutes to discuss the numerous sacrifices Americans will be expected to make to avert an imminent climate catastrophe. First, we should refrain from referring to these sorts of conversations as “journalism,” since Cooper

Rare frigid weather in America’s southern states has been caused by a polar vortex. Five people have died after ice storms, plummeting temperatures and heavy snowfall swept across a number of states not used to dealing with such conditions.

Meghan McCain wasn’t taking any more abuse from her View co-hosts on Tuesday’s show and fired back after liberal host Sunny Hostin accused the GOP of being radical extremists. While venting about how former President Trump was acquitted in his Senate impeachment trial, again, Hostin repeated for the umpteenth time her ugly accusations that the Republican
President Joe Biden promised to be a president “for all Americans,” even for those who did not vote for him. Yet in his first few days in office, Biden signed divisive executive orders championing the nebulous concept of gender identity over biological sex. Biden’s new orders threaten to upend science and fairness in many segments
Last week Jonathan Chait compared the firing of Gina Carano to the Hollywood blacklist of yesteryear. Today he’s taking a look at another figure in the media spotlight who is being canceled by the left, the host of The Bachelor TV show. Here’s how Variety reported the story Saturday: “The Bachelor” host Chris Harrison has announced
Following the events in the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, many schools pushed out advice that talking about both sides was no longer an option. One guidance that circulated among educators was titled “There’s Nothing Virtuous About Finding Common Ground.” Translation of this document amounts to the fact that open debate, pros and cons lists,
School buses remain unused while schools are closed in San Francisco, Calif., April 7, 2020. (Stephen Lam/Reuters) Americans parents are growing increasingly frustrated that schools across the country remain closed for in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. In many places, public schools in particular appear prepared to maintain virtual-only learning with no end in sight.
New York Rep. Elise Stefanik (R) is calling for a federal investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite already writing a leadership book that positively recasts his COVID-19 response, Cuomo is becoming the target of bipartisan backlash as new details surface over his pandemic response, particularly the nursing
A top Democratic official in Florida is warning fellow Democrats not to believe COVID-19 “conspiracy theories” about Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Jared Moskowitz, Florida’s outgoing director of Emergency Management and the official responsible for directing the response to the pandemic under Gov. DeSantis, told Politico’s Marc Caputo that Democrats should
Astonishingly, since the latest bombshell landed on Friday in the scandal swirling around New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mishandling of COVID in nursing homes across the state and his administration’s attempt to cover it up, ABC News has only offered a pathetic 59 seconds of air time to the story. Meanwhile, CBS finally managed a
Polling shows a strong relationship between marriage status and political outlook. As political scientists, pundits, and historians try to make sense of the November 2020 election, a marriage divide in the electorate has emerged. Married Americans were appreciably more likely to vote for Trump than those who were either unmarried and cohabiting or single. As
Dr. Anthony Fauci won a top international prize for his leadership in the coronavirus pandemic this week. Fauci was awarded the $1 million Dan David Prize for his defense of science and advocacy of COVID-19 vaccinations from Israel.

In Arkansas, lawmakers are considering two bills that touch on abortion, one more far-reaching than the other. The first, Senate Bill 6, would prohibit nearly all abortions, with an exception only for those performed in instances when a mother’s life is at risk. The measure, which I wrote about for NRO in December, has just

Two people were killed in Texas and two more in Kentucky – both in crashes on treacherous roads, which local officials believe were likely caused by the weather.

One would think that outspoken atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a feminist critic of religion, would earn the approval of the liberal New York Times. But since it’s the Islamic religion that she abandoned, the Times (and the left in general) has treated Hirsi Ali with cool neutrality at best and open hostility at worst. The worst
Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) is the youngest member of the California caucus in the House, and it shows. At 32, she has gone to college, worked for not-for-profits, and engaged in politics. After running and losing in 2018, she went to a different district in her hometown of San Diego and tried again. This time
Impeachment is retreating in our rearview mirror but before it disappears let’s take a minute to remember how one of the very few Republicans in the House with real political courage was betrayed not once, not twice, but three times by her colleagues as it played out. And the third time around, it was a
