NBC’s This Is Us has had pro-life episodes during its long run. In previous episodes, characters have welcomed unplanned pregnancies. It also routinely gives a nuanced and life-affirming perspective on adoption. But in the 2020s, there are certain left-wing sacred cows you cannot touch. Back in the late ’90s and early aughts, female characters on television could acknowledge abortion regret.

On Monday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a new rules package explicitly striking gendered language from the official House Rules. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) noted that at least 23 of the Democrats who voted for the new gender-neutral rules nevertheless use gendered terms to describe themselves on social media. House Democrats passed

President Donald Trump attends a campaign rally for Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler ahead of their January runoff elections in Valdosta, Ga., December 5, 2020.

America’s political dysfunction requires rational reform. Fortunately, many necessary changes don’t require constitutional amendment. There is little doubt that President Trump, before both the 2016 and 2020 elections, did all he could to undermine confidence in their results. In 2016, he was abetted by his opponent, whose delayed and graceless concession was followed by state

Radical Rev. Raphael Warnock is running against a Senator the New York Times calls “strident Trump loyalist” Sen. Kelly Loeffler in one of two U.S. Senate runoffs that end Tuesday in Georgia. The Times has been feverishly promoting both Democratic runoff candidates (the other is Jon Ossoff), especially Warnock, while lobbing accusations at the Republicans. The

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo shut down New York, dispatched untold numbers of elderly nursing home residents to die of COVID, bragged about his awesomeness, wrote a book about his awesomeness, accepted an International Emmy for his alleged awesomeness, and then announced that he’d really like to escape the surly bonds of lockdown and go

There was never a question that it would come to this once he started digging in on the idea that he was cheated, only a question of how explicit the threats of violence would become. We’ll get a sense tomorrow of how far he’s prepared to go at the rally his fans are holding while

Half of Chicago public school teachers required to attend class preparation did not show up in defiance of city orders, the city said Tuesday.

There are plenty of unpleasant things that ought to be left behind in that nightmare of a year. God willing, Fukuyama will be one of them. Among America’s excuse for an elite, each intellectual in-group has its big-brain shibboleths by which initiates and aspirants signal their transcendence over the mental failings and fixations of the

Supporting a leftist group that advocates defunding the police apparently wasn’t a red flag for liberal outlet Inside Philanthropy’s (IP) “Philanthropist of the Year” award.  At least, that’s the message that IP sent when they named Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’s liberal billionaire ex-wife MacKenzie Scott their 2020 philanthropy champion. IP praised Scott, stating that “[i]n her debut as

The World Health Organization is beginning an investigation into the scientific origins of the coronavirus. They’ve assembled a blue-ribbon panel of doctors, researchers, and scientists to get to the bottom of the mystery. As it turns out, investigative reporter Nicholson Baker did most of the work for them. Writing in New York Magazine, Baker reveals

Let me take you on an emotional journey that played out over the course of about 15 minutes on political Twitter this morning. First, shock and scandal: NEW: Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Senate president pro tempore, says he and not Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the certification of Electoral College votes,

The 117th Congress began on Sunday, but two candidates in New York’s 22nd congressional district are still waiting on hundreds of ballots that will likely determine the outcome of their race. Over 800 outstanding ballots have challenged by either Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi or his Republican challenger, Claudia Tenney, and began to be reviewed by

My new Bloomberg Opinion column. In January 2005, Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, objected to counting Ohio’s electoral votes for President George W. Bush. It made Page A19 of the New York Times. It didn’t haunt her for the rest of her career. I didn’t remember her involvement myself, until the current Republican challenge to Joe Biden’s

Just last week I wrote about the strong possibility that the U.S. will set a new record for the increase in the murder rate this year. That seemed like pretty big news to me but I only saw it appear in a Twitter thread and in one story quoting the author of that thread. So

In a heated back and forth during a Monday press conference about Florida’s rollout of the coronavirus vaccines, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis was forced to put an obnoxious CNN correspondent in their place after they tried to filibuster and talk down to him.

For Joe Biden, plagiarism has kind of been his thing. His first presidential campaign was doomed by allegations of plagiarism. Not one to learn from his mistakes, his platform, his COVID-19 response plan, and his DNC acceptance speech were all allegedly plagiarized. Suddenly, his selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate makes more sense.

The decision has been made – the 2020 Lie of the Year is coronavirus downplay and denial. Well, we knew it would either be the coronavirus or the presidential election, right? Those were the two big stories of 2020 and they both have carried into 2021. PolitiFact calls it an infodemic led by misinformation spread

‘Got Freedom?’, a 501(c)4 nonprofit election integrity watchdog group, conducted an exclusive national briefing today at the request of state legislators from Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to review the extensive evidence of irregularities and lawlessness in the 2020 presidential election.

The election is over, and Donald Trump’s presidency is set to expire on January 20, but the hyperbole surrounding the outcome continues. Respectable opinion has switched rather abruptly from alarm about the integrity of the election to thundering outrage at the president for disputing its integrity. These reckless, unfounded accusations, we are told, have undermined,

On Monday morning, Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean continued her unrelenting fight against Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), penning a lengthy, 3,500-word-plus FoxNews.com item recapping Cuomo’s arrogance, failure to lead, and refusal to admit wrongdoing with his reckless coronavirus nursing home order. Following an appearance on Fox & Friends, Dean revealed that an attempt to
