It’s no secret that California governors begin to lose popularity as they get deeper into their second — and last — terms. Gavin Newsom seems no exception.

On March 15, 2020, two days after then-President Donald Trump declared a national COVID-19 emergency, Cornell law professor Michael Dorf urged Congress to impose a nationwide lockdown and suspend the writ of habeas corpus. Congress never took either of those constitutionally dubious steps, w…

Recently, Gov. Ron DeSantis sat down with me for a one-hour interview.

Forget about aging gracefully. We’ve reached a moment when the old refuse to resign, when pouty octogenarians hawk sex appeal from magazine covers (okay, just one), and when officials teetering on the brink of non compos mentis insist upon leading the country.

Pretty much everything you need to know about the Daniel Penny case you can learn from the “Death Wish” movies.

Forget about sexism and ageism as prime forces behind the highly vocal movement pressuring longtime Democratic US Sen. Dianne Feinstein to retire early from the seat she has held since 1990.

Democrats went out on a limb for Rachael Rollins. To confirm the very prickly, very left-wing prosecutor as US attorney for Massachusetts, they pulled out all the stops, including a tiebreaking vote in the Senate by Vice President Kamala Harris. And how did Rollins repay them? With dishonest…

This is not communist China

‘Common-good capitalism” is all the rage these days with national conservatives. But what exactly is it, you may ask? That’s a good question. As far as I can tell, it’s a lovely sounding name for imposing one’s preferred economic and social policies on Americans while pretending to be “impro…

Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is obviously a longshot presidential candidate, but he’s refreshing. Unlike most politicians, he speaks clearly and seems smart.

Could it be that union bosses are finally waking up to the cold reality that the greatest threat to steel workers, the United Auto Workers, miners, machinists and the Teamsters is the radical climate change agenda of the environmentalists? 

It’s also about having clean air

Bidenomics is not just about spending money anymore.

California has a bunch of new housing laws, several taking effect in each of the last few years.

Do they want to ruin our lives?

May 15 is the anniversary of Israel’s birth in 1948. It is also the date on which Palestinians in recent years have commemorated their Nakba, or “catastrophe.” The events of 1948 were indeed catastrophic for the Arab refugees, perhaps as many as 700,000, who fled their homes to escape the wa…

Few labor groups have more clout in California government than the prison guards union, whose members draw an average annual salary of almost $55,000, not counting their often-copious overtime.

After the mass shooting that killed eight people at a shopping mall in Allen, Texas, last Saturday, President Joe Biden said that horrifying crime reinforced the case for “enacting universal background checks.” Yet the perpetrator, who was killed by a police officer at the scene, had been li…

The debt-ceiling standoff has people concerned about what will happen if the US defaults on its debt. I certainly hope both sides will come together to avoid this outcome. But it is still worth reminding everyone how incredibly precarious the status quo is, and why something needs to change.

President Joe Biden and the media are excited about something new: a Central Bank Digital Currency, or CBDC. It’s a currency like Bitcoin, except controlled by the federal government.

The British antitrust cops just announced they will oppose the proposed blockbuster $68.7 billion merger of two American companies — Microsoft and gaming company Activision Blizzard, the owner of the wildly popular game Call of Duty. This decision is bad news for investors in companies, game…

The position of the White House on the debt limit may be shifting from, “President Joe Biden doesn’t want to compromise,” to “President Joe Biden doesn’t have to compromise under the US Constitution.”

California Democrats have acted as if both this state’s Senate seats automatically belong to them from the first moment it became clear longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein must step down sometime within the next 20 months.

Senator Rick Scott of Florida was joined by fellow Senate Republicans at a May 3 news conference to urge the White House and Senate Democrats to pass the House GOP legislation that would raise the debt limit and cut the growth of federal spending.

When it comes to Alex Murdaugh, it isn’t over until, well, ever.

There’s a socialist wave in Latin America. Mexico, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil recently elected leftists.

Starting next winter, California will have two days every January to think about ways to end hate crimes.

Any parent will tell you that forcing children to eat their spinach is no way to win a household popularity contest. Children don’t care about the long-term benefits of eating healthy food when the alternative is the short-term thrill of sugary treats. Much to their children’s chagrin, paren…

Does the radical climate change agenda know no end? Earlier this year, it was gas stoves — and then light bulbs.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has spent much of the last year tossing figurative tea leaves around where anyone and everyone who’s interested can try reading them.

CAMDEN, SC — A Swedish mother visiting her daughter watched in wonderment at the crowd gathered for a funeral honors ceremony for Revolutionary War troops — replete with a parade, a play, prayers and a plethora of dignitaries — to honor 14 soldiers who died on Aug. 16, 1780.

Joe Biden’s video announcing his reelection bid makes much of his supposed defense of democracy.
