With the latest couple of announcements, one wag at National Review said the House majority has lost the will to live. It’s down to what, 1-2 votes? The 2024 prospects for the GOP seem much better...
There certainly seems to be a varied assortment of third party and independent candidates to choose from. JFK Jr, Jill Stein, Cornell West, whoever the Libertarians or No Labels decide to put up.

All those people fleeing California?
Sometimes the laboratories of democracy create monsters.
To maintain the same level of coverage, you would need to increase head count by 25%. It’s hard to imagine you could offset the increase in wages and associated benefits by decreasing the hours the...
Dumb, dishonest economic policies know no party affiliation. Price controls, trillion dollar coins, rent controls, modern monetary theory, old New Deals and new New Deals are all stupid in their own...
Wouldn’t this require hiring more essential services employees to maintain the same coverage? Personnel costs are usually the biggest driver of local government budgets, so it’s hard for me to see...
I see Senator Sanders is proposing an eight hour reduction to the work week, with “no reduction in pay”. Grand economic theorist that he is, he doesn’t go into much detail on how this would affect...
All the frantic, hysterical exegesis of Trump’s comment puzzles me.
If the truth is bad enough, why waste all that energy lying?
I find myself in violent agreement with the last few posts. In this distinctly unheroic time, too many people seem to want to spice up their lives by pretending they’re part of an existential...
Yes, but you weren’t into the third year of a war of conquest.
I see he won with 87% of the vote. One has to wonder at the courage of the 13% (or whatever the real number was).
And on the topic of socialist paradises, I see there were demonstrations in Cuba...
I always listen to “The Remnant”. It speaks to my antediluvian free market, free speech, limited government, colorblind view of how the world should be.
I do agree that the two main party choices...
I heard pretty much the same opinion as yours, less the puerile vulgarity.
Nothing stimulates the bile ducts of a certain type of racial reductionist mind like a black conservative.
The National Review Editors podcast is pretty good this week. I heard that Marco Rubio referred to the state of the union as the “proof of life speech”.
Really good Remnant podcast today where Jonah Goldberg attacks this weird belief that the survival of America as we know it depends on the next election. It’s called “Take a Deep Breath”.
First the media, now the SCOTUS. Is there no limit to his insidious influence?
Between the Retribution guy and Democracy’s Savior, I’m probably going to vote Libertarian for the third time.
Assuming Trump wins and the Democrats win majorities in both houses, would a 14th Amendment exclusion require a simple majority or a supermajority?
And if Trump loses, will every backyard tiki...
People say a lot of ridiculous, hysterical things on the internet, but I can’t think of a single person I know who’s primed to take up arms against whatever enemies you care to name. This isn’t 1861....
I don’t see how one person’s preferred package of goods and services can be used to define a class.
This country, being founded largely by rejects and refugees from other places’ post feudal...
I don’t think class, whether in the Marxist or social sense, has much explanatory power in the US. It’s just a muddle of various forms of status-seeking.
The joke I used to hear was that Madison is Ann Arbor with a drinking problem.
