Isn’t It Time We Discuss the Leading Cause of Antisemitism in America?

If anyone wishes to understand why the United States is experiencing a startling increase in antisemitism, I would direct their attention not to the pro-Hamas protesters on university campuses, but rather to Rep. Jamie Rankin (D-Md.), who is so obnoxious as to make Jehovah Himself declare, “No, sir, you are not chosen.” It is to […]

‘The Powers That Be’: Mike Johnson Elected 56th Speaker of the House

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.” — Romans 13:1-2 (KJV) Ending three weeks of leaderless chaos — […]

Anything That Makes Adam Kinzinger Happy Is Objectively Bad for America

In 2021, the Democrat-controlled legislature of Illinois did the nation a huge favor.

U.S. Capitol Police and the House Administration Committee, which oversees House operations and […]

Idiot Democrat From Houston Doesn’t Have the Faintest Clue Who Bari Weiss Is

How is it that you get yourself elected to Congress and appointed to an important committee, but can’t be bothered to familiarize yourself with the subject matter of a major hearing? If the voters of the 29th District of Texas have any capacity for reflection — notice the word “if” in that phrase — they […]

James Baker’s Amnesia Problem

My podcast partner John Hoge calls attention to the Nixonian quality of the FBI-turned-Twitter-lawyer’s testimony this week: Rep. Jim Jordan asked James Baker, the former FBI general counsel who moved to work at Twitter, whether he communicated with the FBI about the Hunter Biden laptop story before the New York Post was censored on Twitter […]

FINALLY: McCarthy Becomes Speaker

What is normally a pro forma exercise on the first day of the new Congress instead dragged on for four days before reaching its final conclusion in the wee hours of the night: Rep.
