The 4th annual Women’s March is taking place today in cities around the country. Crowds in Washington DC were expected to be smaller than previous years due to bad weather.

The surprise announcement from the Taliban that we’re about to sign a peace deal with them is being slightly overshadowed this week. While I’m sure plenty of people have been waiting for us to pull out of that quagmire, the release of a stack of Pentagon documents regarding the war will provide even more reason
Far be it from me to relitigate the 2016 presidential election, but liberals constantly repeat the narrative that Hillary Clinton won because she got 3 million votes more than Donald Trump. In October, Clinton joked, “Obviously, I can beat him again.” Liberals are again fighting to overturn the Electoral College partially because Clinton won the popular
Rep. Justin Amash speaks at CPAC 2013 (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) It seems to suggest, after all, that there is no place for an independent in politics. For years, fiscally conservative advocacy groups were giving then-Republican representative Justin Amash awards, praise, and donations. Now that he’s an independent, however, many of those same groups are snubbing him
Dear Weekend Jolter, The Odd Man to whom this missive’s title refers is not James Mason but a Brooklyn-born Vermont-based socialist senator.

I’m old enough to remember when it didn’t take anything more than Donald Trump saying he’d like to make America great again to see ten thousand people out in the streets of any major city screaming about how the Bad Orange Man was bad. And orange. But these days, if you’ve been getting the impression
Two big — and misleading — stories about the climate “crisis” came out this week. In one, CNN said: In another, the Independent in the UK came out with: ”The amount of heat being added to the oceans is equivalent to every person on the planet running 100 microwave ovens all day and all night.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks during a campaign event in Nashua, N.H., December 13, 2019. (Elizabeth Frantz/Reuters) Ideology and authenticity explain the 78-year-old socialist’s appeal to young Democrats. What divides Iowa Democrats most starkly is not income, education, gender, or even ideology. Rather, age is the factor that most strongly correlates with whether an Iowa Democrat

You’ve got to be kidding, Dersh. He’s trying to spin his participation in Trump’s defense as some sort of quasi-academic exercise more so than advocacy on behalf of a particular client. It’s not that he’s for Trump, you see, it’s that he’s against the idea that a president can be impeached for exercising power which

I tried gaming out the possible schedule in a post a few days ago and couldn’t figure out a way for the trial to end before February 4, the day of the State of the Union. This, I thought, was the most aggressive timetable realistically: It begins on the 21st, followed by a two-day break
