I'll be a lot more worried about AI when it stops acting like a lazy child.

For the last several months, I've been kicking around a book idea. The biggest hurdle isn't the writing or even the daunting task of creating a way to ensure someone else actually reads it. It's assembling the massive database of information that the book would be ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- CNN anchor Jake Tapper repeated the conventional wisdom Monday when he referred to the "sweetheart deal" federal prosecutors made with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2008. Tapper's disdain fit nicely with the narrative the media have embraced about the Epstein saga -- with girls as victims, the media as heroes and Republican-...Read more

President Donald Trump has done an admirable job at defanging the IRS, which was converted into a weaponized agency targeting Democrats' political enemies.

Chief Justice John Marshall famously pronounced early in our nation's history that "the power to tax involves the power to destroy."

The Democrats inside the Biden IRS took that to heart....Read more

SPRINGFIELD, Illinois -- In casual conversations with Democrats in August from across the Midwest, I found that their biggest frustration with the national party is that its platform didn't appeal to them. I was not surprised to see that same sentiment captured in a poll by The Wall Street Journal around the same time. It found Democrats' ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- As he sat in the hot seat during a Senate hearing Thursday morning, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recognized that he was in the center of a religious debate -- on vaccines.

On one side were finance committee Democrats and a couple of Republicans who are staunchly pro-vaccine. (I support COVID-19 ...Read more

Donald Trump's recent floated proposal to deploy the National Guard to crime-overrun blue cities like Chicago and Baltimore has been met with howls of outrage from the usual suspects. For many liberal talking heads and Democratic officials, this is simply the latest evidence of Trump's "authoritarianism." But such specious analysis and ...Read more

Friends,

As a member in good standing of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, I am simply appalled by our beloved organization's resolution declaring the conflict in Gaza a "genocide." This elite group of academics, researchers and complete randos -- I mean, I paid $125 to join this very week -- has allowed our once-sterling ...Read more

Wealthy white progressives are generally the most paternalistically racist people you will ever encounter on planet earth. Overwhelmed by the soft bigotry of low expectations, what they can't really say out loud, but what they think, is that you can't get rid of crime in poor and non-white neighborhoods. Like the white racist redneck Klansman ...Read more

While artificial intelligence may make the student research paper obsolete, if today a student does their own research and writing, it's quite possible they will use Google to search their topic, and Google will invariably send the searcher to a Wikipedia article.

If they were to write about cable news, the Wikipedia results are as biased as ...Read more

When the Irish comedian Graham Linehan arrived at London Heathrow Airport this past weekend, he was greeted by five armed British police officers who arrested him for -- get this -- three rude tweets.

Or, as Linehan wrote on his Substack, "I was arrested at an airport like a terrorist, locked in a cell like a criminal, taken to hospital because...Read more

While the public's attention this summer has been drawn to masked ICE agents arresting folks without warrants, presidentially imposed sales taxes on goods emanating from foreign countries that have been invalidated by three federal courts, and the fruitless Kabuki dance between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in ...Read more

He who lives in glass houses should not throw stones. How many times in our lifetimes have we heard that admonition to watch our words, especially our criticisms, of those around us? The same could be said of American foreign policy in general, and more specifically of President Donald Trump and his new doctrine of diplomacy around the globe. ...Read more

When President Donald Trump announced in August that the federal government took an equity stake in Intel, he bragged that taxpayers had "paid zero" for part of a company now "worth $11 billion." In reality, taxpayers paid plenty: $8.9 billion in subsidies with potentially more to come. The government simply dressed up the giveaway as an ...Read more

The lovely ladies over at Twitchy.com brought to their readers' attention this week a complaint from Canadian citizen Glen McGregor, who posted on X that he injured his knee playing softball and will need an MRI, but the province of Ontario requires that he get an ultrasound first.

OK, fair enough. Except that McGregor was told by the local ...Read more

On Aug. 24, Kremlin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov threatened Norway with nuclear annihilation.

I do not exaggerate. The Barents Observer (via arctictoday.com) reported that Solovyov, on his "Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov" program said Russia should "destroy" Norway, with nukes.

From the article: "Are they all ready to die for it? (...Read more

This week, anti-American and pro-Hamas advocates gathered in Detroit at a "People's Conference for Palestine." There, they expressed radical solidarity with terrorism, celebrated the achievements of Hamas and denigrated the United States. "The average American will never understand the plight of the Palestinian person because the state of ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- In his own fashion, President Donald Trump helped CBS News join the transparency bandwagon.

You could see it after White House correspondent Ed O'Keefe interviewed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on "Face the Nation" Sunday.

Guest host O'Keefe was fine -- better than the usual host, Margaret Brennan.

It's...Read more
