WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden has said he will not pardon his son Hunter, who pleaded guilty to nine felony and misdemeanor tax charges Thursday in Los Angeles.

I hope Biden relents on his no-pardon pledge before the younger Biden spends a night behind bars. My guess is that's the president's plan -- to flip and pardon his son after the ...Read more

In 2019, Vice President Kamala Harris told CNN's Jake Tapper that social media companies "are directly speaking to millions and millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation and it has to stop."

Postmodernism is a weird place to be. There is no real truth anymore, only narrative. Each person can have their own truth, and who are we to judge? Exceptions are now the rule; the sky cannot be blue, because some colorblind person does not see it that way, so none of us are allowed to declare it blue. It is oppressive and maddening.

Ion Perdicaris, a wealthy Greek-American, had been kidnapped in Morocco by a bandit named Ahmed al-Raisuli. Hay's line served as a U.S. ultimatum to bring the...Read more

"Those who have sown the wind shall reap the whirlwind."

Vice President Kamala Harris thinks U.S. Steel should not have the right to sell its business to Japan's Nippon Steel. Previously, some Republican senators thought they too should have the ability to kill the deal between private companies. And it doesn't stop there.

Ah, the Left. Ever ready to burn the foundations of America to the ground in pursuit of ... progress.

The latest example is a New York Times article by Jennifer Szalai titled, "The Constitution Is Sacred. Is It Also Dangerous?" You can guess what her conclusion will be, but the subhead nevertheless provides an additional clue: "One ...Read more

In June 2022, The Supreme Court, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, overturned Roe v. Wade, the decision that defined the law of the land regarding abortion since 1973.

Now we are in active national discourse about which abortion regime will fill this vacuum.

In Roe, the court ruled that the U.S. Constitution provides a right ...Read more

Instead of using fossil fuels, we're told to use "clean" energy: wind, solar or hydropower. Hydro is the most reliable. Unlike wind and sunlight, it flows steadily. But now, environmental groups want to destroy dams that create hydro power. "Breach those dams," an activist shouts in my new video. "Now is the time, our fish are on the line!" The ...Read more

There is never a level playing field in an American election. For example, the two major political parties have major advantages that third parties can't muster. Another example is the major Democratic Party advantage of the home-team announcers calling the action on the playing field. Our national media set the terms and the tone of our ...Read more
