Could we be seeing buyers’ remorse? A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Sunday shows a double-digit increase in the percentage of Americans who think the country is on the wrong track. In December it was 49%, and it has jumped to 65%. While the pollster theorizes this has to do with the Capitol riot and

We’ve all seen the rising chaos in Seattle over the past couple of years. The city has a serious and ongoing problem with homelessness. Last summer it had a problem with people creating an autonomous zone in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and shutting down a police precinct. It’s still being sued over that. The city’s

Liberals love to insist they’re on the “right side of history,” and their confidence crests in the liberal dominance among academic historians. Just as the liberal media dominate our evaluation of day-to-day developments, liberals count on their historians to dominate our evaluation of the decades behind us. It’s not just historians, but our taxpayer-funded storytellers,
There’s no getting around the fact that Joe Biden’s inauguration signals a radical shift in immigration policies. But beyond that, the Biden era will see the virtual end of border security, a halt to immigration arrests, deportations, and detentions, a massive increase in the number of refugees allowed into the U.S., and the legalization of
The ideas I’ve heard for Donald Trump’s post-White House days run the gamut from ‘do radio’ or ‘start a media network’ to ‘create a better Twitter/Facebook’, but I believe there is a more effective way for a leader like Trump to impact the political landscape for decades to come. Since November 5th, I have spent
Last year, I reviewed Freddie DeBoer’s book The Cult of Smart, an plea for egalitarianism based on the notion that people don’t deserve their good or bad traits. I didn’t find it convincing. A few months later, another book with precisely the same premise appeared, The Tyranny of Merit by Harvard philosophy professor Michael Sandel. Advertisement I

On his Tuesday show, Rush Limbaugh brought up former Bush strategist Mark McKinnon, who he said used to love talk radio back when Bush was running for office. But now it’s all about shutting it down, shutting down anything that’s guilty of spreading “misinformation.” MSNBC host Katy Tur talked to McKinnon on Monday afternoon, bemoaning
On Tuesday afternoon, on his last night in office, President Trump declassified a cache of documents related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. “At my request, on December 30, 2020, the Department of Justice provided the White House with a binder of materials related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Trump said in
The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced Monday that Garth Brooks will perform during the swearing-in ceremony at Joe Biden’s inauguration. He joins Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez who were previously announced as performers. It wasn’t the Presidential Inaugural Committee, though, that contacted Brooks and asked him to perform, it was Jill Biden. I don’t imagine she
President Joe Biden will be sworn-in as president at 12:00 p.m. EST then he will attend a military parade, participate in a wreath-laying ceremony, sign some executive orders, swear-in some appointees, and make an appearance on the Blue Room Balcony.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks at a news conference with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto in Budapest, Hungary, February 11, 2019. (Tamas Kaszas/Reuters) In the final days of the Trump administration, a number of commentators have attempted to define the legacy that Mike Pompeo leaves behind. His stewardship of the State Department had its
Since Friday, Twitter has yet to flag as incitement a post by liberal actor Alec Baldwin saying he “had a dream” about the prospect of President Donald Trump being hung for sedition – using a noose made from recycled coronavirus masks. On January 15, 2020, three days before the federal holiday honoring the late Dr. Martin Luther
On Tuesday, the last full day of Donald Trump’s presidency, Trump released a strong farewell address, expressing best wishes for the incoming Joe Biden administration and touting his historic accomplishments during his four years. “This week, we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our
On his last full day in office President Trump released a farewell address. It opened by acknowledging the inauguration tomorrow of a “new administration.” Without mentioning Biden by name, Trump said, “We extend our best wishes and we also want them to luck, a very important word.” It’s not completely clear what Trump meant by
Lawyer Sidney Powell voluntarily dropped a lawsuit she previously described as “biblical,” alleging votes cast for President Donald Trump in Georgia were illegally switched to Joe Biden. Sidney Powell, a President Donald Trump ally, abruptly dropped the lawsuit Wednesday without any warning one day before President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, Politico’ Kyle Cheney reported. Powell had
Declaration of Independence, by John Trumbull (John Parrot/StockTrek Images/Getty Images) This week, the White House released its 1776 Report, a much-needed corrective to the historical revisionism that’s infected not only our media, but, far more destructively, our high schools and universities. It’s a straightforward patriotic document; the kind of reading that would be a useful
Look for the libs in the media to turn it up to 11 when it comes to effusive praise of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during their Inauguration coverage. They’ve already started with the magazine spreads. From Time naming Biden-Harris “Person of the Year” to Vogue’s fashion shoot with the incoming Vice President. (The media
A coalition that believes they helped elect a politician generally has some policy preferences to be enacted if their candidate wins. President-elect Joe Biden is no exception. Unfortunately for working and middle class to upper-middle class Americans, these givebacks will affect your finances in ways you might not have predicted. You may have seen Joe
We’re expecting a flurry of pardons and commutations from Donald Trump before he moves out of the White House tomorrow morning. It’s no surprise that many people have been calling on Trump’s team to lobby for this sort of relief on behalf of their friends and associates. The list includes a number of famous (or

President Trump’s Itinerary for 1/19/21 – note: this page will be updated during the day if events warrant The schedule is comprised of information available from the public schedule released by the White House and several sources of publicly available information.

President-elect Joe Biden has said that “in prison, your sexual identity is defined by what you say, not what the prison says.” I wonder what he would make of the “trans woman jailed for 15 years for rape that still gives victim nightmares,” as recently reported by Metro. The 49-year-old man, who “identifies as female
With the benefit of hindsight and the catalyst of the Capitol debacle, it is easy to see Donald Trump for what he was: a cruel joke—cruel precisely because he was so close to what we wanted in this moment. He was a bona fide fighter, by all appearances, though sometimes excessively so; to those on his
(Warning: This blog contains quotes from CNN host Chris Cuomo where he used explicit language.) If CNN PrimeTime host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo was known for anything, it was his desire to use physical violence against his opponents at nearly every turn. Whether it was threatening to throw a Trump supporter down a flight of stairs, fantasizing
A self righteous car thief was so outraged by what he found in the back seat of the Honda Pilot that he’d just stolen that he came back to give the victim a stern lecture. Furthermore, he told the victim, a young woman, that if she didn’t straighten up and fly right he was going
This story of a historical first is one we can all get behind. It is a nice palate cleanser from the day’s usual news stories. Major Biden, the Biden’s shelter dog, was honored with a virtual indoguration. The Delaware Humane Association (DHA) and Pumpkin Pet Insurance hosted the event along with Jill Martin of NBC’s
A United Kingdom official said Monday that “human error” caused the deletion of thousands of records on a national police database. Kit Malthouse, Britain’s policing minister, told the House of Commons that “a regular housekeeping process” is used to delete unnecessary personal data. But a “human error” introduced a defect in the software’s code caused
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington, D.C., April 25, 2015. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski, who along with co-host Joe Scarborough perhaps did more than anyone in cable news to aid Donald Trump’s early rise, slammed Facebook and Twitter without a hint of self-reflection on
