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

Last night, after a large group of Antifa goons marched around the city smashing windows, police surrounded all 100 of them and would only release them one at a time after photographing their faces. Some in the group refused and 13 people were arrested. “Those that were being detained were identified and photographed, as part
As we are stuck in perpetual lockdown and Hollywood continues its failure to entertain us (other than Nolan), we must find ways to entertain ourselves and video games have become a HUGE part of that. I am a gamer in my few minutes of free time and this is one I choose to play. If

The ghost of tweets past just cost Teen Vogue a multimillion dollar advertising deal and now their editor in chief is hanging by a thread.

Things just got a whole lot worse for Governor Cuomo, as both of New York’s U.S. senators are now calling on him to resign. “Confronting and overcoming the Covid crisis requires sure and steady leadership,” Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand said in a joint statement. “We commend the brave actions of the individuals who
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

The governor’s policy of floating caregivers across the state’s group homes has likely contributed to hundreds of lives lost. A New York State whistleblower says that another wrongheaded policy has cost lives to the state’s most vulnerable, and he blames Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Amazon has decided to support the far left when it comes to the debate on gender dysphoria.

The last time we had a crisis with unaccompanied minors at the border was following the Obama administration’s adoption of a “catch and release” policy. The administration adopted this policy to get around the restrictions about how long they could detain a child at the border. From Reuters in 2014: An estimated 60,000 such children
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.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called for Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign Friday.

(Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) Quite a claim from Richard Zoglin in the Washington Post: A sense of unease is starting to build. . . . The first crisis of the Biden Administration could be
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. Naturally, Western countries would like to vaccinate their own people before giving the stuff away to others. And with vaccine supplies currently limited by production, the
Take 10 minutes out of your Friday afternoon to skim through this fascinating (and user-friendly) set of data from the polling firm Fabrizio and Lee about where Republican loyalties lie in the post-Trump era. A few weeks ago I wrote that available polling points to the GOP splitting into three groups along 50/30/20 lines: “Fifty
The multitude of executive orders that President Biden has signed recently is going to tax all of the energy we use, all of the companies that employ us, and all of the products and services we buy each day. Not to mention our incomes. He is also going to limit coal production, increase wind production,
Pharmacist Danny Huynh fills a syringe with the Moderna coronavirus vaccine in Chula Vista, Calif., January 21, 2021. (Mike Blake/Reuters) In some quarters these days, the conventional wisdom holds that America’s diplomatic commitments can no longer be taken seriously by its allies since the U.S. withdrew from diplomatic pacts such as the Iran nuclear deal
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

(Eachat/Getty Images) Our movement, which we contend is at one with the principles of The Founding — you know, that thing of 1776, that Commission that the Discombobulated Man from Delaware kyboshed as soon as he wandered into the Oval Office (probably while searching for the basement) — is being sorely contested, on fronts foreign

Two days after initially ignoring reports that surfaced of a sixth woman accusing New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual misconduct, this time alleging he put his hands under her clothes and “aggressively groped” her in the executive mansion, Thursday’s NBC Nightly News finally discovered the story but could only spare a fleeting 17 seconds of
The legal team for Joey Gibson, the leader of Patriot Prayer who was accused of riot crimes in Portland in 2019, released a statement on Thursday announcing that the district attorney has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate his actions in the prosecution of the case.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton threatened to sue the City of Austin Wednesday over the city’s continuation of a mask mandate. Governor Abbott removed the statewide mask mandate last week and his order went into effect Wednesday. Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown are keeping a mask mandate in effect until
President Joe Biden addressed the nation Thursday night and the fear-mongering, mask-shaming and state-level brow-beating was prevalent. Basically, it was what everyone expected and it appears that no one bothered to watch. First, how many people watched the official White House live stream of the event? More than 2 hours after its conclusion (to give
