The Obama Doctrine is as dead as Yahya Sinwar. And the world is better off in both cases.

While the massacre of Oct. 7, 2023, was one of the most traumatic events in modern Jewish history, it's obvious now that it was a massive, perhaps existential, blunder by the Islamic State as well as a stunning defeat for its allies both in the Middle East...Read more

Even before we knew the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione was politically motivated, many leftists were justifying, celebrating and rationalizing the shooting. There's a real debate going on in some quarters of the progressive Left over whether slaying CEOs is a bad thing. And it's unsurprising.

Of course...Read more

President Joe Biden is right about one thing. Hunter Biden has always been "treated differently."

If Hunter had a different last name, he would never have been able to launch a career in corrupt influence-peddling or launder millions through his "art" or write a self-serving memoir about crack-fueled whoremongering or dump a gun next to a high ...Read more

"All the right people are angry."

This is what MAGA will tell you when you point out that President-elect Donald Trump's pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is an unhinged authoritarian crank.

If you point out that Kennedy is a chemtrail truther who believes the water supply is turning children gay, ...Read more

A lot of you people sound nuts.

It is unsurprising that a Donald Trump campaign ad featuring the tagline "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you" was effective in the 2024 presidential campaign.

If the 2024 presidential contest proved anything, it's that the mass media no longer drive the national conversation. They can no longer stoke fear and outrage in average voters. They can no longer prop up terrible candidates. And, like him or not, President-elect Donald Trump's success with black, Hispanic and Jewish voters, if exit polls are ...Read more

If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had been born with a different name, he'd probably be peddling miracle mushroom cancer cures on YouTube right now.

Instead, our french fry-slinging presidential hopeful Donald Trump has, according to RFK, "promised" to give him "control" of all Washington public health agencies, "which is, you know, key to making ...Read more

Vote. Don't vote. I don't care. Just stop telling me that Vice President Kamala Harris is going to save democracy.

Do I wish Republicans had nominated a more coherent, principled, competent candidate for the presidency? Of course. But if anyone is under the impression Democrats tapped such a person, I have news. Spend some time trying to ...Read more

A few months into Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential run, her handlers faced a dilemma. Should they continue cocooning the candidate or unleash her on the public? Both options came with serious political risks.

Sure, Democrats could keep pretending Harris was a generational talent, but her refusal to sit down for an interview, much less give a ...Read more

The greatest moral hazard in American life is politics.

Many of you probably remember 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney being secretly recorded by a Democratic operative telling donors that "47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what" because they are "dependent upon government ... believe that they are victims ......Read more

Though Democrats are endlessly prattling on about "norms" and "democracy," it is often unclear what aspects of the constitutional order they actually support.
