Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is controversial within her party. She says the U.S. should talk to its enemies. She was criticized for meeting with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. But Democrats were supposed to be the anti-war party, I say to her in my newest video. “They’re heavily influenced by a foreign policy establishment
POLITICS & POLICY
As a space nerd and former NASA producer, I’m a fan of what Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos bring to humanity’s efforts in space. They build sexy rockets and they make them fly. They bring some competition and verve, both of which we need to inspire us to get off this planet and inhabit new
A lot can happen in 90 seconds. In 2013, it took the flight attendants on Asiana Airlines Flight 214 only 90 seconds to evacuate nearly 300 people off of a plane that had crashed at San Francisco International Airport — despite their personal injuries and the flames and smoke in the cabin. In February 2016,
A rule of life is that everything the left touches it ruins: art, music, Christianity, Judaism, race relations, male-female relations, universities, high schools, elementary schools, late-night comedy, sports, liberty, journalism, the Boy Scouts, national economies, language and everything else it influences. The left, not liberalism. (I have written a column and done a PragerU video
On Election Day 2016, Hillary Clinton conceded gracefully, asking America to “give Trump a chance.” That didn’t last long. Months afterward, she came out swinging against the president. Last week, she called him an ”illegitimate president.” On Monday, she claimed he violated his oath of office by pulling U.S. troops back in Syria. Clinton may just
Joe Biden officially entered the 2020 presidential election in the wake of multiple allegations of inappropriate touching. Some believed that Democrats already in the race had somehow orchestrated these allegations, but when Biden finally entered the race, none of his opponents seemed to call him out on his inappropriate behavior. Kamala Harris did go after
Wait long enough, and everything comes around again. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of the wokest womyn in the world, has this week blazed bold new trails by calling for the revival of not one, but two tried-and-true practices that have inexplicably fallen into neglect in American politics: Jim Crow segregation laws and the arrest
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) probably says and tweets more remarkably ignorant things than anyone in Congress — perhaps more than anyone in the United States. Her latest attack on President Trump regarding his attacks on California Democrat Adam Schiff may be her dumbest hot-take yet. Understand that Trump is engaged in deliberate, atrocious, targeted antisemitism
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott today opened a new front in the battle for Austin’s streets. Austin, the deeply blue capital of red Texas, implemented a policy change on July 1 allowing the homeless to camp out nearly anywhere they want around the city. I’ve previously written about the policy here, here, here, and here. Since
If you’re looking for dirt on a political opponent, and you’re willing to go outside the U.S. to find it, one of the best places to look is Ukraine. It should be no surprise that Ukraine played a role in the Robert Mueller investigation, that Joe Biden’s son Hunter found an extremely lucrative position in
The Democrats’ purported outrage about President Donald Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky might be taken seriously by the Republicans were it not for the Democrats’ drive to oust Trump from the moment he won the presidency. CNN’s Van Jones, with zero proof, attributed Trump’s victory to “whitelash.” Trump received 57% of the
If there are any subjects on which Republicans and Democrats can still agree, one would hope that a charity event in honor of a murdered police officer would be among them. Yes, one would hope, but one would be disappointed. Next month brings the anniversary of the shooting at the Borderline Bar and Grill in
For perhaps the first time in her career, Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has made a good public policy proposal, saying that Facebook should be broken up and noting correctly that “Zuckerberg himself said Facebook is ‘more like a government than a traditional company.’ They’ve bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, undermined our
I now make my living by releasing short videos on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I assumed you who subscribed to my feed or became Facebook “friends” would receive that video every Tuesday. Wrong! Turns out social media companies send our posts to only some of our friends. (That’s why I ask for your email
Ask any young person — even a young child — “What do you want to be?” and just about everyone will answer, “a doctor,” “an engineer,” “a teacher,” “a firefighter,” “an airplane pilot” or a member of some other profession. This is completely understandable. But I have a suggestion that would change your child’s life
PITTSBURGH — Jerry Dickinson is the Democrats’ perfect House candidate — and not just on paper. Yes, he’s young, accomplished, academic and a charismatic liberal outsider who supports the ideals of the Green New Deal, the impeachment of the president and can self-raise an impressive amount of cash for his candidacy. He is all of
Medicare for All is the left’s newest branding strategy for socialized medicine in the United States. Promoted by several Democratic presidential candidates and introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, its backers say it would improve the cost and quality of health care in America. With a compliant media touting its alleged benefits, Medicare for
“Climate guru Petteri Taalas: ‘Climate change is not yet out of control, but the debate is – It has the features of a religious extremism.'” So read the English translation of the headline of a September 6 news report in Finland’s financial newspaper Talouselämä (The Journal) citing an interview with Taalas, a PhD in meteorology and secretary-general
How many times do Democrats get to cry wolf before a rational body politic tells them to go fly a kite? Instead of retreating with tails between their legs over their failed Russia hoax, they’re already at it again. Did any Democrats leading the false charge that President Trump colluded with Russia to steal the
The revenge of the nerds is truly upon us now. Facebook is now so worried about the feelings of the unpopular crowd on the platform that the company is testing hiding the iconic “Like” counts to see if it helps the poor dears whose moods are governed by social media acceptance and rejection. Techcrunch: If
Of the numerous reasons Trump haters offer for their hatred of the President, the criticism over his withdrawal of the Iran deal is among the most difficult to follow. That these critics blame Donald Trump for Iran’s recent aggressive behavior is even more bizarre. Iran attacks oil tankers and bombs Saudi Arabian oil facilities and
The impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump is arguably the flimsiest and most premature impeachment in American history. It’s also the fastest by far. Before this week, only three presidents in U.S. history had faced an official impeachment inquiry from the U.S. House of Representatives. Two of them, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, were in
When political arguments aren’t getting you anywhere, what can you do? Start your own country! Unfortunately, most of the world’s land is controlled by rapacious governments unwilling to let others experiment. But fortunately, that still leaves oceans. If people move 12 miles offshore (or 24 miles in the case of the U.S.), they can, in
OAKDALE, Pennsylvania — Some towns die hard. This one nearly did. The Aetna Chemical Corp. plant exploded 101 years ago, leveling most of the town, killing nearly 200 people, maiming hundreds more. Some body parts landed nearly a mile away. The horrifying news ran across the front page of every newspaper in the country, with
The entire American left — the mainstream media, the environmentalist movement and Democratic politicians in particular — are celebrating the involvement of teenagers and even younger children in protesting the world’s “inaction” with regard to global warming. And not just the American left, of course. The left throughout the world is celebrating. A 16-year-old Swedish
The weather was deteriorating rapidly. Tropical Storm Imelda had appeared out of nowhere and was sitting on southeast Texas, pouring buckets of rain on soaked ground. But the weather radar showed the storm sitting well north and east of where I needed to go, and there were very few road closures at that point. So
In August, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 392, informally known as Stephon Clark’s Law. It was Clark, you may recall, who in March 2018 was shot and killed by police officers in Sacramento. I opined at the time that although Clark was found to have been unarmed when he was shot, the two
The history of the Trump presidency will not be written by the likes of Omarosa Manigault. Nor will the likes of Cliff Sims give us the real story of this presidency. Both were early hangers-on who got jettisoned and have tried to cash in. Michael Wolff, author of the gossipy and pretentious Fire and Fury,
A bizarre incident at Union Theological Seminary illustrates why many Christians believe that internal forces, not external ones, represent the greatest threat to the church. Students at this seminary prayed to a collection of plants in its chapel, which triggered a raft of criticism on Twitter. The school defiantly defended its action in a series
Just when you think you’ve seen everything, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer dons a flouncy, lime-green-over-white outfit and makes his debut on Dancing with the Stars. Spicer’s garb made former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s candy-striped shirt and red pants on the same show in 2009 look like an R.O.T.C uniform. Just when
