It’s strange, the way things have changed in twenty years. I have a lot of fond memories of the 2004 presidential campaign. I’d graduated from college a few years earlier and had only really been politically active a couple of years. It may be a cliché to say this, but 9/11 made me see the

The latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) revealed that a startling 4.5 million workers resigned from their jobs during the month of November, an all-time record high.

As Democrats shift their message to the center, we should not lose sight of what blue governance really looks like. Talk is cheap and misgovernment is expensive. We should remember that this year, as people we are used to tuning out suddenly start sounding sort of reasonable. The standoff with Chicago public school teachers resisting
It was bound to be a nauseating day for anyone who turned on CNN or MSNBC Thursday during their voluminous coverage for the first anniversary of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and, according to a NewsBusters tallying of their live programming (20 hours on CNN and 19 hours on MSNBC), they didn’t
Back in 2015, almost everyone I knew had Ted Cruz on the top of their list for the Republican nominee to be the next President of the United States. I wasn’t one of them. And I can’t explain why except to say that there’s something behind Cruz’s face I don’t like. I’m not saying he’s
Over the past week or so, the powers that be have begun changing the narrative on the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve come across probably a dozen articles in decidedly mainstream news sources that reflect an abrupt about-face on COVID. Throughout the fall and even up until Christmas, the mainstream media was pitching the usual panic porn
The U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., July 2, 2020 (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) The Supreme Court heard oral argument on Friday morning in the two cases involving Biden Covid vaccine mandates — the OSHA mandate on all private business with 100 or more employees, and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate on
On January 6, the media was chock full of stories about the events at Capitol Hill on the day of the riot. One potentially big event that could have overshadowed what happened at the Capitol building was a couple of pipe bombs planted near the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee buildings. Fortunately
If there’s anything this pandemic has proven, it’s that the experts don’t know how to manage the virus. They told us to wear masks, but now, nearly two years later, experts are admitting that common store-bought masks aren’t very effective. One thing our leaders had some control over was tests. In 2020, the mainstream media created
Cecilia Martinez, a member of the White House Council for Environmental Quality (CEQ), announced that she would resign Friday, nearly one year after accepting the role.

Don’t look now, but National Public Radio is having a bit of a “diversity” crisis — as in racial diversity. NPR has never had a diversity of viewpoints. Washington Post media reporters Paul Farhi and Elahe Isadi pointed out that there’s an internal furor over departing NPR stars Noel King, Lourdes Garcia-Navarro, and now evening
After being critical to the Democrats’ strategy for winning the 2020 election, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is now anticipating huge problems complying with the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate and is requesting a temporary waiver.

The mayhem at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 (Shannon Stapleton / Reuters) There is a fair amount of confusion on the question of federal agents or others “instigating” January 6.

The Division of Light and Power, by Dennis J. Kucinich (Primedia eLaunch, 2021), 683 pages. Younger readers can be forgiven for being unfamiliar with Dennis Kucinich. When he ran as a presidential candidate in the 2004 election, he put up a platform that was regarded as utterly ridiculous: not only legalizing same-sex marriage but also
What CNN did Thursday morning was a crime—against good journalism. In a New Day segment discussing the soft-on-crime policies of the new Manhattan DA, CNN focused on the less controversial aspects of his policies, while failing to disclose the truly outrageous ones. Thus, it was mentioned that DA Alvin Bragg — who was never quite
Social media, which many thought would bring the world closer together, has instead torn us apart. Last year an NBC News poll found that 64% of Americans say that social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter do more to divide the nation than bring it together. Both Democrats and Republicans agreed, but Republicans were far

The real stories of 2021 haven’t been covered. Do you know what happened in 2021? There were at least 28 school shootings in the U.S. last year.

Late Tuesday night the Chicago teachers’ union voted to cancel all in-person classes for all public schools.
