Last week I wrote about Jonathan Haidt’s update on what has happened in the year since his book The Anxious Generation was published. For the most part, Haidt had a lot of good news to report about parents around the world who seemed to find common ground around some of the ideas he was promoting, […]
This seems important. God dang it, just when you think you have a deal… …But Trump’s big mouth sure works in mysterious ways, doesn’t it? That’s why, while I invariably cringe at his framing, I always counsel sticking around to see what shakes out. This time, he shook the Chinese right out of the Canal […]
What is it about Democrats/liberals that makes them think that multiplying by zero equals anything but zero? By now anybody who isn’t brainwashed knows that “expert” when attached to a political dispute is just another word for “person who agrees with me,” And that credentials are little more than sanewashing otherwise indefensible positions such as […]
Back in mid-March, another sort of shadowy operation, something called the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), was targeted for DOGE inspection thanks to their general recalcitrance in complying with Trump admin directives.

How many people does the average American know? A couple of studies I found in my deep, comprehensive research on which I spent 30 seconds says somewhere around 600. Sounds high to me, but I guess it depends on what the definition of “know” is. Sometimes, I wonder if I know my own family. […]
Today’s the day in a couple of places, and by day, I mean balanced on the edge of a knife Election Day. Here in Florida, our own Congressional District 1 is up for grabs in a special election to fill the seat left vacant when Matt Gaetz resigned. FL CFO Jimmy Patronis is the Republican […]
Hugh Hewitt says that the new book “Fight” coming out today is a real shocker and well-worth reading. I have no reason to doubt him, and when it hits the shelves I will read it. Advertisement The book, written by NBC News politics correspondent Jonathan Allen and The Hill’s Amie […]
