The New York Times best-seller list is an unreliable source of bad math, especially when conservative authors do well. We’ve seen it before with David Limbaugh and Dinesh D’Souza. We’ve seen it with Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino. Now it’s happening to Michael Knowles and his new book Speechless. It hit #1 on Amazon.com on Friday. The
It’s finally Friday. This week dragged on forever for me. I started it by having the first major allergy attack of my life. I’ve never had seasonal allergies and then I moved to New York… and everything was fine for almost five whole years. But all of a sudden I am now allergic to everything

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams (Rembrandt Peale/Gilbert Sullivan) Did you read the exquisite column — “How Two Great Friends Overcame Politics” — from Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal on how Thomas Jefferson and John Adams overcame bitter political division? You’ll want to. Peggy once wrote a book titled Patriotic Grace and here she
Unfortunately, the left loves trashing what should’ve been welcome news for Americans of all political stripes such as Friday’s report that the economy 850,000 jobs in June. In a classic display of coastal elitism, leftist MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle decided to thumb her nose at business owners who don’t pay their employees what Ruhle deems
Greg Ellis, a film star and father, has written a new book about his divorce nightmare, The Respondent: Exposing the Cartel of Family Law.

May 1990 appears to have been a bad month for minority race relations in the City of Angels. “Gunfire, fistfights and racial tension erupted almost simultaneously at three Los Angeles-area high schools Tuesday morning,” the Los Angeles Times reported on May 2. A squad of police officers backed by a helicopter descended upon Jordan High
The U.S. Supreme Court handed a stunning defeat to the enemies of the First Amendment by invalidating a California law forcing nonprofits to disclose their largest donors — and liberals are losing it. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion of the Court in Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta, Attorney General of California. The
Despite being neck-deep in multiple scandals, earlier this week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo held a $10,000-a-head fundraiser at the Manhattan Rockefeller Center and managed to raise over a million dollars. Cuomo not only faces multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, but his actions during the COVID pandemic have also (finally) come under scrutiny. Earlier this year, the media
The federal government’s sweeping “COVID-19” relief bill gave California’s state government a whopping $26 billion in bailout money. This, combined with the fact that the Golden State was actually doing fine with local tax revenue despite the pandemic, led to something unexpected: California ran a $75.7 billion budget surplus in 2021. Yet despite the government’s
(Tero Vesalainen/Getty Images) Jason Miller, a former spokesperson for President Trump, has soft-launched a new social-media platform, GETTR. The platform will officially launch on Independence Day, with the goal of creating a space for conservative (particularly pro-Trump) media online. The platform’s style mirrors the traditional Twitter interface while substituting Twitter’s blue theme for a crimson
Those quick to dismiss the TV host’s concerns that he is being spied on by the NSA should consider the sordid history of illicit surveillance. Fox News host Tucker Carlson was mocked on social media this week for stating that he had been told that the National Security Agency was reading his private emails and spying on
Thursday was a less-than-stellar day for immature and venomous charlatans like MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid due to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Arizona’s election integrity laws. So, it was only natural Reid and a cast of characters melted down over the ruling as a “racist” and “violent blow against democracy” that proved
When President Joe Biden took office, he ordered a halt to construction of the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. The White House’s budget proposal cut funding for Customs and Border Protection, and the Democrats’ funding bill cut it even more. Yet the Democrats’ military spending bill directs hundreds of billions of dollars to “border security”…
Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams purchased two homes worth a combined $1.4 million following her failed 2018 bid to lead the state, public records reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation show.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk attends an opening ceremony for Tesla’s China-made Model Y program in Shanghai, China, January 7, 2020. (Aly Song/Reuters) You almost can’t blame Elon Musk for speaking so highly of the Chinese Communist Party on its 100th anniversary. On Twitter, Musk seems to be opening a new front in Tesla’s effort to clean
On a beautiful Sunday morning, I was out of town for a business meeting in the city of Santa Barbara, California, an affluent area where the rich and famous live. Demographically, it isn’t exactly Wakanda. Before getting on the 101 Freeway for the long drive back to Los Angeles, I pulled into a gas station
There’s a forensic audit currently underway in Fulton County, Georgia.

The state has the authority to do this
A total of 130 nations representing more than 90 percent of global GDP have agreed to a global minimum corporate tax, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced Thursday.

There are no depths CNN won’t sink to in order push a left-wing political agenda on behalf of the Democratic Party. On Tuesday and Wednesday, that shameless partisan activism included exploiting the deadly building collapse in Surfside, Florida to argue – without a shred of evidence – that climate change somehow caused the horrific tragedy.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) says she doesn’t regret making her comments last month where she equated the so-called “crimes against humanity” by the United States and Israel to “unthinkable atrocities” by the Taliban and Hamas. At the time, the absurd comparison resulted in a much-deserved rebuke by Democrat leaders. “Drawing false equivalencies between democracies like
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas signaled it may be time to end the federal government’s long-standing ban on cannabis. On Monday, the conservative jurist declared that “a prohibition on intrastate use or cultivation of marijuana may no longer be necessary or proper.” Thomas issued his opinion in response to the Court’s decision not to hear

Like the movement of the ’60s and ’70s, social conservatism is a genuinely countercultural phenomenon, but seems unlikely to achieve the same success. Several months ago I made what I thought at the time were a handful of self-evident observations about the future of the Republican party and its much-abused handmaid, the conservative movement. To
New York City’s Democratic primary was an absolute debacle as, yet again, the board of election somehow included over 130,000 “sample test” ballots in their preliminary update. Seemingly because this embarrassment happened in their own backyard and to their party, the Wednesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC really didn’t want anything to do with
