National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr. My colleague Charles Cooke pens a most worthwhile appeal about the infamous Mann v. National Review legal atrocity that is a threat to all — can there be a more consequential attack on our First Amendment rights now in the court system? Our webathon seeks your selfless help,

Joe Scarborough boasted on Thursday he’s “always been a champion of the filibuster.” But now he wants the Democrats to abolish it! Wasn’t Joe supposed to be the mugwump who supported institutions over radical ideology? Now his argument is that because of increased political polarization, there are few moderates left, and thus that “nothing can get
Legal Insurrection reports that 21 states are suing to block Joe Biden’s executive order that halted the Keystone XL pipeline. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and 19 other state attorneys general filed suit today in United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas to block President Joe Biden’s unconstitutional and
Vaccine hesitancy among Republicans is a real thing and a potential stumbling block to herd immunity, but c’mon. What sort of reaction did a reporter from CNN of all places except to get when he wandered into a red-state diner with a camera crew in tow and gut-checked them on a question like this? Which

Focusing on the federal level distracts from opportunities closer to home. Organize Right is a regular column with not so much a beat as a meander on the subject of organizing: how the right does it, how the left does it, lessons from its history, and its implications for today. In the wake of the
It’s easy to tell when a psychiatrist is in the tank for transgenders in sports. First, he only addresses the underlying problem of psychological confusion very late in his LGBT-approved puff piece. Then, he slams lawmakers for trying to preserve the integrity of women’s sports and says trans girls should not have to “lie” about
On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a 1994 law that protects and provides resources for victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence. The bill passed 244-172. While 29 Republicans joined 215 Democrats in voting for the bill, all the “no” votes came from Republicans. As
The resignation of Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo came as a surprise to most Houstonians, including the mayor. The announcement also caught many Miami officials by surprise, the city that has hired Acevedo. Miami officials were conducting a nationwide search for a police chief.

Somebody needs to pay for California’s staggering inequality and injustice. A recall election for Governor Gavin Newsom will do. California Gov. Gavin Newsom looks on during a news conference after touring Barron Park Elementary School on March 02, 2021 in Palo Alto, California.

In Will Democrats Nix (or Weaken) the Filibuster?” New York Times “On Politics” newsletter editor Giovanni Russonello went beyond the usual liberal media whining over the filibuster to hint that Republicans are abusing the process in the name of — you guessed it — racism. Major investments in infrastructure and green jobs. Expansions to voting rights
The fake Trump quotes scandal just got more interesting. It appears that Jordan Fuchs, Georgia’s deputy secretary of state, was not only the anonymous source of the Washington Post story claiming that Trump pressured Georgia election investigator Frances Watson to “find the fraud” and that if she did she’d be a “national hero,” but that she
Few things make me nostalgic for old-school blogging like dunking effortlessly on John Kerry. Via the Tennessee Star: @TheTNStar Exclusive: Biden’s @ClimateEnvoy John Kerry, took off his mask as he settled into a book in his first-class seat just before takeoff today on an @AmericanAir flight Boston to DC. He was not eating, nor drinking.
The House voted to award Congressional Gold Medals to law enforcement agencies that protected the Capitol during the deadly riot on Jan. 6.

In our society, too often the big guy feels the need to tear down the little guy. A recent National Review editor’s attacks on a new non-profit could not better illustrate this truism. Conservative nonprofit American Moment launched on February 24. The Generation Z co-founders, Saurabh Sharma (23 years old), Nick Solheim (24 years old),
The Washington Post has outed its source who provided them with the bogus Trump quotes in their January 9 article, “Trump pressured a Georgia elections investigator in a separate call legal experts say could amount to obstruction.” The story was recently updated with a correction after a recording of the call was discovered and published
A notable reaction, in large part because this appears to be just about the only reaction to Sheldon Whitehouse’s nonsense letter to Merrick Garland. Ben Sasse (R-NE), who isn’t exactly a Trumpian voice on the Senate floor, blasted the Rhode Island Democrat’s “paranoid obsession” with Brett Kavanaugh. The demand for a new review of the FBI’s
President Joe Biden suggested that he would support changes to the Senate filibuster Tuesday evening, saying that he would back an earlier rule that required objecting lawmakers to be on the floor. “I don’t think you have to eliminate the filibuster,” Biden said in an interview with ABC News. “You have to do it what
I’ve written a big — and I mean big, more than 5,000 words — piece on how Trump got control of the border, a story that hasn’t been told in much detail: Counter to the image of the administration taking a blunderbuss approach to everything related to immigration, the push at the border was a

National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr. To the 1,597 kindly friends who — whether via our donation page or by check (a good number have already come into the NYC office) — have responded to our webathon appeal, we can only say thanks. Well, that’s not the only thing we can say: We are
Republicans are often cast as the villains on TV, but one show finally made a GOP “hero:” a “pro-immigration, pro-choice” one who refused to vote against the impeachment of President Trump. On the March 16 episode “One-Zero” of FBI: Most Wanted, Agent Jess LaCroix (Julian McMahon) and his team take on the case of Representative
CBS Evening News, citing unnamed sources, reports that the Department of Homeland Security has detained more than 13,000 unaccompanied children at the U.S.-Mexico border since Joe Biden’s inauguration. What was becoming a more orderly, if still unruly, border across 2020 is now in crisis — CBS reports, even using that word the Biden administration has
A Republican lawmaker has an idea to promote COVID-19 vaccinations – how about a federal holiday? Rep. John Katko of New York introduced a resolution last week that calls on Joe Biden to create a “National COVID-19 Vaccination Awareness Day”.
