OPINION: The winter is coming and Europeans are hoping it will be kind to them
So near, yet so far… Europeans are hoping, praying even, that this coming winter will be kind to them. They had their affordable energy in abundance and on tap, they did not have to worry about electric power cuts, there were no government restrictions on how high they could set their thermostats at home or […]

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly on the Supreme Court Vaccine Mandate Opinion
By Michael Boldin GOOD: Supreme Court holds vaccine mandate for businesses is illegal. (We absolutely gotta take a win when we get it!) “Although Congress has indisputably given OSHA the power to regulate occupational dangers, it has not given that agency the power to regulate public health more broadly. Requiring the vaccination of 84 million Americans, […]
Opinion | How a Simple Twist of Fate Could End Democrats’ Control of the Senate
But there’s another possibility that should also have the Democrats reaching for the Maalox: A random act of fate could turn the Senate over to the Republicans not next January, but next summer, or next month, or next week. An illness or death could well trigger a political earthquake — by almost instantly switching control […]
Opinion | Jan. 6 Proved the Durability of the Constitution — and the Continuing Need to Defend It
Pence, of course, resisted. Besides the vice president, perhaps the biggest hero of the post-election period was the constitutional system itself — and the reason Pence was so stalwart was out of an abiding loyalty to that system. One year later, we should appreciate the fact that the Constitution proved a durable vehicle of representative […]
Opinion | Joe Biden Has Failed to Level with His Party
But this work must be done in the framework of a political system that often means delay, compromise, frustration. It is rare when a president comes into office with a mandate strong enough to overcome those conditions. Consider what happened last November: We won a clear plurality of 7 million votes; but thanks to the […]
Opinion | It’s Time for Biden to Fire the FDIC Chief
Historically, the FDIC operated collegially: although the chair presided over board meetings, the chair would allow free discussion and a vote on any item a director wished to have on the agenda. The current fracas arose when a board member sought to put an item — approval of a request for information about the process […]
Facebook Court Filing ADMITS ‘Fact Checks’ Are Just a Matter of Opinion
Surprisingly little attention is being paid to a bombshell admission made by the attorneys representing the corporation formerly known as Facebook, Inc., which has now transitioned into Meta Platforms, Inc. by Thomas Lifson In a court filing responding to a lawsuit filed by John Stossel claiming that he was defamed by a “fact check” Facebook used to label a […]
Opinion | Vladimir Putin Shouldn’t Be a Right-Wing Hero
Tucker Carlson has routinely flayed the elite foreign-policy consensus against Putin, including in a lacerating monologue this week arguing that the Russian leader has his eyes on Ukraine only because he wants to protect his country’s western flank. The cover of the latest Newsmax print magazine has a flattering picture of the Russian leader with […]
Opinion | Biden’s Democracy Summit Was Never a Good Idea. But Here’s How To Make It Work.
First, don’t be afraid to call out your guests. Taking geopolitics into account, even when it means compromising your ideals somewhat, is a fact of life in foreign policy. With a summit billed as being literally “for democracy,” though, this risks going from complication to contradiction. The administration did draw a line by declining to […]
Opinion | Why Fox Stopped Talking About Trump
It will come as no thunderbolt to even casual TV viewers that when you consider all the news and commentary the cable networks serve, they regularly give it a political spin. This why Fox is favored by Republicans, and MSNBC or CNN are mostly popular with Democrats. But the measurable swings in Lincoln Project mentions […]
Opinion | Why A ‘Sister Souljah Moment’ Won’t Save Biden
For those too young to remember, Sister Souljah was briefly a famous hip-hop star and activist who gave an interview shortly after the LA riots of 1992 in which she suggested violence against white people. Rev. Jesse Jackson then invited her to speak at a Rainbow Coalition event. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, then running for […]
