During an election season where every single day has brought us the unexpected and transformative, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by a horrible scandal involving a government agency. The seizing and killing of Pnut, an internet-famous and beloved pet squirrel, and Fred, a domesticated raccoon, would become a dramatic symbol of what this election…

The Biden administration unveiled its fourth major student loan cancellation scheme last week. While the administration’s past three cancellation plans have suffered defeats in the courts, officials apparently hope that things will be different this time. The new plan offers loan cancellation to borrowers experiencing “hardship.” If you’re wondering what “hardship” means, so am I. It is…

Suffice to say, that while Israel remains in peril, Iran is at a precipice. The bellicose, terror-centric, Islamic Republic began – on October 7, 2023 – escalating conflict with Israel through Hamas, Hezbollah, and from Iranian soil. Israel, predictably, responded.

But the more Harris put herself out there, the less voters liked what they saw. According to polling averages, the high-water mark…

The Biden-Harris administration’s border crisis has had negative implications for all Americans, but one group that has suffered more than most—but received less attention than others—are American…

It’s the final stretch. I would advise readers to take a giant lump of salt with the stories and polls that are flying around. As in wartime, it’s hard to tell what’s what in the dense fog. Like Powerline’s Steve Hayward, you might apply to politics screenwriter William Goldman’s assessment of the ability of people…

As a sprawling congressional investigation into online political fundraising expands, House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday he fears foreign adversaries such as China and Iran may be laundering money to Democrats this election, and he is vowing lawmakers will take punitive actions against overseas actors if the allegations are corroborated. “This is a massive scandal,”…
