[ad_1] Irina Slavina, 1973–2020 (Educational Vlog via YouTube) My Impromptus today is the customary mélange, touching on the presidential campaign, economics, Nobel prizes, the Ford Foundation, William F.

[ad_1] After complaints from Asian-American groups, the U.S. Department of Justice is suing Yale University for discriminating against applicants based on race. The suit alleges that Yale violated federal civil rights laws for the last 50 years. The suit also says the university uses an “oversized, standardless, intentional use of race” to favor black and
[ad_1] If we’ve learned anything this year, it’s that anything can be called “racist.” Among the things fitting that description is the teaching of standard English. Supposedly, that is demeaning to black students and lowers their self esteem. The Conference on College Composition and Communication (an affiliate of the National Council of Teachers of English)
[ad_1] The Holocaust really isn’t a subject in which a person can remain noncommital and expect to not be questioned, especially if the person is a high school principal. A high school principal in Palm Beach County, Florida found that out the hard way in July 2019. He was fired but now finds himself re-hired,
[ad_1] Comedian Chris Rock, hosting “Saturday Night Live,” summarized the feelings shared by much of President Donald Trump-hating America when he quipped, “President Trump is in the hospital from COVID and I just wanna say my heart goes out to COVID.” The audience then erupted in laughter. During the Barack Obama administration, the country faced
[ad_1] In COVID-19, our modern world is facing a plague of biblical proportions. The pandemic has illuminated the woeful limitations of our earthly actions and provided a powerful reminder that we must return to the virtues that undergird this remarkable nation. As I write these words, our commander in chief and president, Donald Trump, has
[ad_1] New York City is becoming an economic basket case. “‘We’re at war’: New York City Faces a Financial Abyss,” screams a New York Times headline. New York City’s unemployment rate stands at 16%, double the nation’s average. Yet, even in the midst of a “financial abyss,” the animosity of New York’s liberal elite remains
[ad_1] It turns out the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows won’t show you polls that show the majority of the American voters feeling better off now under President Donald Trump’s economy than under former President Barack Obama’s economy. But they do love parading around questionable polls showing Trump losing the election by double digits.
[ad_1] CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King on Friday slimed the President, linking him to a group of extremists who were plotting to kidnap Michigan’s Governor, Gretchen Whitmer. The state’s Democratic Attorney General appeared on the show to blame Donald Trump for providing a “rallying cry for violence.” Just prior to the segment, reporter Jeff
[ad_1] Want to bet it’s about Trump if he wins re-election, though? As expected, Nancy Pelosi rolled out a new bill to establish a “Commission on Presidential Capacity,” a rehash of an effort made by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) at the beginning of Trump’s first term. Nonetheless, Pelosi tried arguing that Trump is only presenting
[ad_1] After the FBI arrested 13 people involved in an anarchist terror plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer yesterday, she and the state’s attorney general predictably blamed President Trump and the media ran with this narrative. Friday on Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos spoke with Whitmer and spent nearly the entire time encouraging her to attack
[ad_1] The New York Times really stepped in it in Friday’s lead story, “President Lashes Out At His Aides With Calls To Indict Political Rivals.” In the rush by reporters Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman to show President Trump as a conspiratorial madman, the paper indulged in its own left-wing conspiracy, involving an allegedly faked-up trip
[ad_1] Can’t wait to see what happens when Dr. Marc Siegel asks the president of the United States to “turn his head and cough.” Actually, coughing is part of the issue, according to Mediaite, as questions raised in two phone interviews yesterday about Donald Trump’s voice and cough left the impression he might still be
[ad_1] Another medical and science publication is going far left. The New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday endorsed Joe Biden, calling for the incumbent to be voted out of office because he and his administration have “failed at every step” when responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to an article posted by Lydia O’Connor, a reporter

[ad_1] Every time an eminent domain story crops up I can feel my jaw tightening, not because there’s never a case where the Takings Clause has to be employed, but because so many of these situations seem entirely preventable. The one that just cropped up in Duncanville, Texas, however, is a bit complicated, to say
[ad_1] Today on the podcast, The Daily Signal’s executive editor, Rob Bluey, interviews Brian Morgenstern, the White House’s deputy communications director.

Mary Vought, executive director of the Senate Conservatives Fund and wife of Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, joins us to explain why this
[ad_1] In the last few months, the Trump-Pence team has held a plethora of press conferences and “pool sprays” taking hostile liberal questions, while Joe Biden’s campaign calls a “lid” on the press many days, and has “lidded” Kamala Harris from the national press since she was picked in August. So it’s a little perverse
[ad_1] Talk about bad timing. In his absurd eagerness to always be spinning in favor of a Democrat (never a Republican) involved in an election campaign, CNN’s resident prognosticator Chris Cillizza with a history of often hilarious errors spun himself into a corner on Tuesday. All he had to do was wait a couple of hours and he
