2024: The Year the Media Lost

The Gloat Zone is a great place to be. Whether it’s in football or politics, the aftermath of a big victory is an occasion for soaking in the feel-good endorphin bath, and laughing at the follies of your defeated opponent. Victory is always sweetest when it’s an upset, staging a fourth-quarter comeback after your opponent […]

The Dumbest Take on the 2024 Election

A few weeks ago, I bought a copy of Thomas Sowell’s 1987 book A Conflict of Visions as a gift for a young man who was struggling with his political views.

That old Looney Tunes character came to mind this week when I read liberal journalist Michael Tomasky’s hot take on the election: I’ve had a lot of conversations since Tuesday revolving around the question of why Donald Trump won.

Georgia: How’s ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Working?

Despite the fact that early voting has set historic records in Georgia, a certain Democrat remains permanently disgruntled: Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is claiming that “voter suppression” is occurring in Georgia despite record turnout in the Peach State. During Friday’s installment of “CNN News Central,” co-anchor Kate Bolduan asked Abrams what she believes […]
