First things first: Tucker Carlson is my friend and I won’t pretend to be unbiased about him. I’ve known him ever since he hired me at the Daily Caller in 2010, he was a great boss, and he went out of his way to help me when an illegally operated State Department security vehicle crippled

The Garden State is apparently tired of having parents “interfere” in their children’s lives. A bizarre new law was recently signed by Democratic Governor Phil Murphy that prevents the police from notifying parents if their children are found using marijuana or drinking alcohol while they are underage. The provision in question was part of a
Parler could have been the answer to Twitter, but it failed to anticipate Apple, Google and Amazon’s censorship. Beyond the app store mess, Parler’s leaders never pulled in a wider audience. They didn’t pull in the gamers, cooks, athletes and singers you might find on Twitter or Facebook. The leadership has no idea what they

Today President Biden held a teleconference meeting with the leaders of India, Japan and Australia. This group, known as the Quad, is an old idea which was revived a few years ago by President Trump.

To nice liberals like the staff of The New Yorker, the January 6 Capitol Riot is a green screen onto which they can project all kinds of right-wing stuff they hate. They then use the grotesque image they create to smear conservatives. So, because QAnon kooks and alleged white supremacists breached the Capital, and some
There are a couple of billion people around the world who want what many in the West have and won’t part with: a vaccine to protect against COVID 19.

In a twist to the typical charges of racism that emerge when a white cop shoots a black person in a television drama, NBC’s Chicago P.D. took it up a notch. In this episode, a black cop accuses his white partner of being racist while they work together on a police shooting case. Wednesday night’s
Many people on both sides of the aisle are criticizing Biden for the huge influx of illegal immigrants at the border, but Senator Chuck Schumer is trying to place the blame on former President Donald Trump. “You were a vocal critic of Trump’s immigration policy of separating the children from their families at the border,”
This is your periodic reminder that the congressional elections of 2020 may not be over. For all we know, they may never be over. For a very long time, we were talking about the NY-22 race that was finally settled in favor of Republican Claudia Tenney a little over a month ago. But this week
