[ad_1] The networks seem to have waited until the last possible moment before making a projection in GA, when Biden’s lead finally exceeded the number of outstanding ballots. In the end, he flipped five states Trump won in 2016: Georgia, Arizona, and the “blue wall” in the Rust Belt of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. And

[ad_1] Earlier this year, a misguided effort emerged to tear down the Emancipation Memorial, a statue that has stood since 1876 in Lincoln Park, a part of Washington, D.C., about a mile away from the Capitol. The memorial depicts President Lincoln in the act of welcoming a former slave to freedom, and that freed slave

[ad_1] NBC 10 in Philadelphia published a story yesterday on the rise in violent crime and the decline in solved cases in 2020. The reasons for the shift aren’t completely clear and probably involve multiple factors including COVID-19 and street protests, but what is clear are the results. The piece opens with a description of

[ad_1] If I’m not mistaken, he was exempt from the state rules pursuant to the overarching national rule that liberals are entitled to ignore social distancing guidelines so long as it’s for an Important Cause™. Like holding mass demonstrations against police brutality. Or smoking weed in a park with strangers to celebrate Trump losing. Or

[ad_1] The Chinese government, which failed to control the initial outbreak of the virus and is widely suspected of having misled the World Health Organization and the global community about both the origins of the virus and the scope of its early spread, is now preventing Taiwan from participating in WHO meetings and explaining its

[ad_1] Reforms put in place by Donald Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos are in danger of being gutted by the incoming Biden administration. The plain fact that Joe Biden’s education transition team has four members of the giant teacher’s unions among their ranks should be a warning signal of things to come.

[ad_1] Britain’s prime minister Boris Johnson leaves Downing Street in London, March 4, 2020. (Toby Melville/Reuters) I would call British prime minister Boris Johnson a disappointment, but that seems rather harsh on the word “disappointment.” He’s botched Brexit, he’s botched COVID, and with his uncosted and unworkable fantasy of transforming the U.K. into a net-zero

[ad_1] Politico published an interesting interview with “Democratic polling and data expert” David Shor. The interview is lengthy and covers a lot of territory but I wanted to highlight one section in particular where Shor talks about the power of the media and the elites who guide it in determining what issues matter during elections.

[ad_1] To the egalitarians who increasingly dominate educational policy in America, a key metric for colleges and universities is how well they promote upward mobility — that is, to what extent do students from relatively poor backgrounds later rise to higher income levels? Schools where relatively few of those students make leaps up the income

[ad_1] This is the funniest tweet of his career, although it must be that he meant it seriously. He can’t be doing absurdist jokes about his own “rigged election” allegations, right? For years the Dems have been preaching how unsafe and rigged our elections have been. Now they are saying what a wonderful job the

[ad_1] The Eighth Court of Appeals in El Paso, Texas is composed of a Chief Justice and two justices and has appellate jurisdiction of both civil and criminal cases appealed from district and county courts in the 17 counties. The two justices are Democrats and the Chief Justice is a Republican. In a bipartisan 2-1

[ad_1] MSNBC morphed so slowly into the Comedy Channel that I barely noticed the change. “Is this what we’re going to sit through for the next four years,” Joy Reid asks, “Republicans just doing investigations and refusing to legislate?” She poses that question to the man who spent the last four years doing nothing but

[ad_1] This is worrisome in the long term, even if one thinks that Team Trump’s legal challenges in the election are without much merit in the short term. After paying the law firm of Porter Wright nearly three-quarters of a million dollars to represent them in post-election issues, Team Trump got dumped by them first

[ad_1] 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. This is a column about hows. As conservatives, we tend to focus on lot of

[ad_1] Democrats hoping to flip Texas to the blue column were stunned and surprised when President Donald Trump won the state on Election Day, but the bigger surprise was that Latinos helped keep the state Republican. According to some reports, they voted for Trump after supporting former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over their concerns

[ad_1] Several mainstream media outlets have declared Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden the victor in the race against President Donald Trump. But despite the Republican commander in chief’s continued fight against the projected results, GOP members of Congress are divided over whether Biden should begin receiving classified intelligence briefings as part of a prospective transition

[ad_1] On Thursday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D-Chicago) announced new restrictions to fight the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic in the Windy City. By restrictions, I mean outright canceling Thanksgiving, “traditional Thanksgiving,” at least. No, that’s not my opinion — it’s exactly what she said. “A Stay-at-Home Advisory for Chicago

[ad_1] Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has written a letter to Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), urging her colleague to stop processing President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees. She says the panel should hold off on such business now that the election is over and allow Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to make his

[ad_1] The last few years have heard a steadily louder drumbeat that Republicans should become a “worker’s party.” I think there’s a lot to like in that idea — although I’d prefer for Republicans to be a “parent’s party” first — and have looked on with interest as policy thinkers have tried to work out

[ad_1] Former Texas legislator and failed U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke blamed “powerful memes” and the incompetence of the national Democratic party when assessing the “incredible performance” of Republicans in his state. O’Rourke made the comments in a letter to supporters released on Thursday. “The asymmetrical advantage that Trump and the GOP had this cycle

[ad_1] President Donald Trump talks to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, June 26, 2019. (Joyce N. Boghosian/White House) After reading Charlie Cooke’s biting takedown of political journalism’s crooked coverage of Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, it hit me that Left media not only face a huge letdown but a huge fiscal dilemma.

[ad_1] Poll workers tabulate ballots at the Allegheny County Election Warehouse in Pittsburgh, Pa., November 6, 2020. (John Altdorfer/Reuters) The Trump campaign won a minor victory today in the multifaceted post-election litigation ongoing in Pennsylvania.

[ad_1] Food Network star Alton Brown is a long-time Republican voter. Brown admitted he is a Republican voter and many of his fans on social media reacted the way you would expect – they went nuts. Then, as the vitriol swirled around the internet, Brown went further. He made a strange reference to the Holocaust

[ad_1] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) in Queens, N.Y., February 22, 2020 (Andrew Kelly/Reuters) Since last week, when we first learned of election results that were surprisingly close at the presidential level and unexpectedly bad for Democrats at the congressional level (and elsewhere), there has been a low-level civil war brewing within the Democratic Party.

[ad_1] It shouldn’t be admirable for government officials to publicly defend the integrity of their own work, especially on a matter as basic as election security. But after spending five years watching so many rodents in the GOP’s leadership class cower before Trump for fear of losing their jobs, having DHS and its partner agencies

[ad_1] Tuesday I wrote about NY Times’ polling guru Nate Cohn’s take on the 2020 polling. He suggested it may, when all is said and done, turn out to be a worse miss than 2016. Today the Times published another piece by reporter Daivd Leonhardt which doesn’t quite go that far but nevertheless concludes the

[ad_1] Why, pray tell, is Georgia doing a hand recount rather than re-running the machine count? That’s a good question from ABC News’ Brad Mielke in this short clip of his interview with Brad Raffensperger, who never quite answers the why question. Instead, the Georgia secretary of state explains why people can have confidence in the results

[ad_1] A great nation has nearly come to blows over two geriatrics with bad hair. Let’s devolve power down. It’s time for a new electoral map, one that colors the states according to what Donald Trump thinks should happen to the votes there. So make Pennsylvania and Michigan lavender since Trump wants their counting to
