MSNBC: One Man’s ‘Election Denier’ Is Another Man’s TV Host

March 28th, 2024 11:41 AM

MSNBC, the “news” outfit on which the Rev. Al Sharpton has a show, briefly hired former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, at $300,000 per year, to serve as an on-air pundit. Why did the rabidly anti-Trump, anti-Republican Sharpton make her the offer?

Cling to Christ: Pause the Politics, Dwell on the Resurrection

March 22nd, 2024 9:43 AM

The world is headed into Holy Week, the holiest of times for the worlds more than 2 billion Christians. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth entered Jerusalem as a king on Palm Sunday; was tortured, crucified, killed and buried on Friday; and rose again on Easter Sunday. It is one of the defining weeks in human history. As we head there, it is an appropriate time to pause the politics and…

Stossel: Don’t Let Those Who Locked Us Down Off the Hook!

March 21st, 2024 2:35 PM

Four years ago, government officials told us, “Stay home!” We have “15 days to slow the spread.” Days turned into months and then years, while officials chipped away at our freedoms. I have long been wary of politicians, but even I was surprised at how authoritarian many were eager to be. Some demanded police to go after people surfing. They took down the rims of basketball hoops. Children’s…

Princess Kate and Democracy’s Discontents

March 20th, 2024 4:14 PM

Unelected pundits unceasingly tell us democracy is in danger. Yet as voters grit their teeth for a Biden-Trump rematch, they might wonder whether democracy is such a great thing in the first place. Was it all a mistake to ditch George III for this? The U.K. has free elections just as we do. But when a prime minister is as unpopular as, say, Rishi Sunak is right now, nobody worries that Britain…

The Smell of Mendacity Down in Georgia

March 19th, 2024 3:47 PM

Court decisions can sound complicated because they sometimes contain legal language that is difficult for a layperson to understand. That’s not the situation in the case of Fulton County, Georgia’s District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Judge Scott McAfee gave Willis a choice – either dump Wade, with whom she’d had a romantic relationship, as prosecutor in the case…

Degrowth: How to Make the World Poorer, Polluted and Miserable

March 15th, 2024 2:07 PM

The left has a new goal: degrowth. We should “buy less stuff,” forgive debts, grow our own food, etc. They say this will “build a more just and sustainable society” and “save the planet” from “climate chaos.” This idea is popular with capitalism-haters. One at a ChangeNow “eco conference” says, “A smaller, slower economy could also be a sweeter economy.”

Jonathan Glazer’s Evil Oscars Display

March 14th, 2024 4:03 PM

This week at the Oscars, a director named Jonathan Glazer made international headlines. Glazer won an Academy Award for his film, “Zone of Interest,” which centers on the family life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoss and his wife, Hedwig, who happily cultivate their home and garden as just behind the wall, Jews are tortured, shot and gassed.

This Is Not the Soviet Union, Mr. Biden

March 14th, 2024 1:12 PM

In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed. It marked the end of an experiment that lasted almost a century testing the premise that godless secularization, turning control of people’s lives over to other people to rule them, who decide what others need and how they should live and conduct their lives, is the answer for mankind. In the free world, the collapse of the Soviet Union was cause for…

Washington Needs an Intervention on Spending

March 13th, 2024 4:56 PM

When some people appear beyond help because of addiction or other circumstances they can’t control, family members have been known to stage an intervention. Congress and President Biden need an intervention as their addiction to spending exceeds anything seen in history. In his State of the Union address last week, the president invoked one of his party’s favorite lines about corporations and…

Juice: Why Wind and Solar Make Our Power Grid Less Reliable

March 12th, 2024 2:17 PM

“We’re building a clean energy future,” says President Joe Biden. Who is “we”? Well, you pay for it. He and his “green” cronies do most of the building. Lately, they’re pouring more of your money into “renewable energy.” They promise to give us “carbon-free power” from the sun and wind. My new video illustrates some problems with that, using scenes from a new documentary series called “Juice:…

SCOTUS’s Unanimous Decision & the Pandemic of Trump Derangement

March 11th, 2024 3:12 PM

In December 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision based on the “insurrection” clause of the 14th Amendment, ruled former President Donald Trump ineligible to appear on Colorado’s 2024 presidential primary ballot. Never mind that Trump has never been indicted for, let alone convicted of insurrection. Immediately after this jaw-dropping decision, I tweeted: “Even 3 out of 7…

News Flash: Politicians Excel at Lying

March 5th, 2024 5:32 PM

Politicians aren’t good at much, but they do excel at one thing – lying. They lie about the border. Both parties refuse to acknowledge the danger of a growing and unsustainable debt (CNBC reports it’s increasing by $1 trillion about every 100 days). Consider. President Biden had his annual physical exam last week. When asked if a cognitive test was part of it, White House Press Secretary…

The New American Antisemitism Could Cost Democrats Jewish Voters

February 27th, 2024 8:43 AM

In the aftermath of “from the river to the sea” anti-Israel protests on many college campuses and in the streets comes a perfectly timed book by Johns Hopkins University Professor Benjamin Ginsberg titled “The New American Anti-Semitism: The Left, The Right, and the Jews.” Professor Ginsberg is especially hard on progressives and urges American Jews to move away from their longtime support of…

Putin Is Pushing Where There’s Mush

February 26th, 2024 9:29 AM

This week, Vladimir Putin finally — allegedly — murdered his chief political rival and critic Alexei Navalny. Navalny’s death followed an attempt by Putin’s operatives in 2020 to kill him by poisoning; Navalny survived the attempt, worked with online specialists to unmask the actual agents responsible for the poisoning and then returned to Russia, where he was promptly arrested on trumped-up…
