The Holdovers Is a Throwback to a Better Era – HotAir

The Christmas season doesn’t feel too bright for a handful of students at Barton, a prep school in New England, nor for the one instructor they all genuinely loathe. While most of their friends have gone home for the holidays, these students have to remain at school with Mr. Hunham, their instructor in ancient civilizations, […]

Sunday Smiles – HotAir

2023 is almost over. Thank God. What an annus horibilis. As disunited as we are in the good ol’ USA, pretty much everybody agrees that things are not moving in the right direction. And, for the most part, we all blame Joe Biden. Biden is surely a big part of the problem, but only in […]

It might as well be headlined ‘How Democrats Could […]

Markets and Miracles – HotAir

It’s mostly about encouraging people to work. “Work works!” they say. It does. Most Doe Fund workers don’t go back to jail. I’ll also […]

The Drive-by Smears of Clarence Thomas Never End – HotAir

Most Clarence Thomas hit pieces can’t stand up to perfunctory scrutiny. But the newest doesn’t even make any sense. In a new five-person-bylined article, anti-Supreme Court outfit ProPublica takes a decades-old offhand complaint the justice made about his salary and spins it into a nefarious conspiracy. In 2000, Thomas apparently groused about his pay to […]
