President Donald Trump at the White House, September 30, 2019. (Leah Millis/Reuters) Former National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard ordered staff to shred documents related to the tabloid’s relationship with President Trump ahead of the 2016 election, according to Ronan Farrow’s new book “Catch and Kill.” The tabloid came under fire after the Wall Street Journal revealed that

Ted Williams makes it over at Slate. He begins by dispelling the notion that the product causes cancer: Numerous scientific bodies have found there to be no good evidence that it does, and one prominent exception — the International Agency for Research on Cancer — was widely condemned for its methods. The man who led

Since Ta-Nehisi Coates’s “Case for Reparations,” redlining has loomed large in the debate over race in America — larger than you might expect for a real-estate practice that has been illegal for half a century. Three different presidential candidates have proposed plans to help neighborhoods today on the basis of their having been redlined in

As other socialists have done, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez points to Denmark as a model country: Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!🎈 Spending the day in Denmark after C40, enjoying this social democracy that treats healthcare & education as rights, zero-carbon as priority, & infrastructure as a key public good. Here’s to another year of

ERIE, Pennsylvania — Several large pieces of cobalt-blue glass panels bearing “Don’t Give Up the Ship” and a bold likeness of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry lay broken at the top of the third-floor stairs of the old Park Place building in the city’s main square. If ever there were a motto that exemplified a place

This month, Washington, D.C. — which is literally named after Christopher Columbus — voted to abolish the celebration of Columbus Day. Alaska, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Vermont do not celebrate Columbus Day, either. These states struck down the holiday in favor of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which the U.N. celebrates on August 9.

When it comes to reporting on matters concerning the Los Angeles Police Department, I’ll give the writers and editors at the Los Angeles Times credit for one thing: they’re consistent. But in the field of journalism, being consistently biased, lazy, and predictable is nothing to crow about. Back in January, I wrote in this space

Joe Biden’s rhetoric grows more inflammatory with every new Democratic presidential poll, as rival Elizabeth Warren has surpassed him in the national polling averages and he realizes pretend moderation won’t sell. In surveying his multitudinous rivals, Biden doubtlessly sees himself as a man of superior wisdom, experience and gravitas. By gosh, he’s wanted this job

On Thursday, nine 2020 Democrats took the stage at the CNN LGBT town hall and announced their support for the Equality Act. That alone puts them on record opposing the religious freedom of conservative Christians and those of other faiths who disagree with same-sex marriage and transgender identity. Yet many of the Democrats stood out

In 1347 a London resident by the name of Roger the Raker plunged through the rotting floorboards of his house into a makeshift latrine and drowned in his own accumulated excrement. As historian Martyn Whittock informs us, “One major problem in the Middle Ages was sewage disposal,” with many householders forced to dig cesspools in

I’ve grown increasingly curious — hell, let’s say suspicious — about the most recent incarnation of the three-year effort to find a case for impeaching Trump. This is, of course, the House Permanent Special Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the Democrat members’ “impeachment investigation.” Take it as read that we now know the Ukrainian investigation

This past weekend, I spoke for the second time at the second annual Black Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., hosted by Turning Point USA. Turning Point was founded in 2012 by then-18-year-old Charlie Kirk. Its website describes its goal as seeking “to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free

So it turns out that the acting director of the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management, William Perry Pendley, has denied the Left’s “climate change” mythology, and opposes jihad violence and illegal immigration. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski is out for blood, trying to get Pendley for heresy, that is, for his dissent from Leftist orthodoxy. My

Have you ever had this happen to you? You or a loved one gets sick, you check and double-check your insurance and find a provider in your insurance network, make an appointment and see that provider. You pay the co-pays and pick up the drugs the doctor prescribed. All seems fine until weeks later, you

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

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
