I once angered a friend by suggesting that one reason that the United States has a housing crisis is that we are importing millions of people and have no place to put them. They were furious. It was such a xenophobic thing to say. Of course, I was merely pointing out that supply and demand […]
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Biden is staying mum about student protests and police crackdowns as Republicans try to turn campus unrest over the war in Gaza into a campaign cudgel against Democrats. Tension at colleges and universities has been building for days as some demonstrators refuse to remove encampments and administrators turn to law enforcement […]
Last month I wrote about a show on Netflix called “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.” The show was just three episodes that chronicled some of the troubling/criminal things going on at Nickelodeon from the mid-90s to the early 2000s. The really troubling stuff highlighted by the show focused on a couple […]
President Biden’s top aid held internal discussions about replacing White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, according to press reports. Sources close to the situation told The New York Post that plans were considered last fall to discreetly encourage Ms. Jean-Pierre to step down from her pioneering role. “There was an effort to have some outside […]

Host Bill Maher made the comment Friday on his show “Real Time.” “I can respect the absolutist position, I really can,” Maher said speaking of pro-lifers in a video clip posted to X. “I scold the left when they say, ‘Oh you know what, […]
Superhero fatigue is real. With every new superhero film that comes out, audiences are getting tired of the increasingly diluted genre. This is primarily because the studios making these movies are prioritizing quantity over quality, a reality that even Disney CEO Bob Iger was forced to admit. Now, a major Marvel star is tacitly acknowledging […]
I tend to like Megan McArdle’s takes on things so it’s no surprise to me that her take on Google Gemini is pretty solid. As she sees it, Gemini is a case of Google saying the quiet part out loud. What she means is that this isn’t just a wonky new product that is drawing […]
Democratic strategist James Carville is famous for saying, “It’s the economy, stupid.” The comic phrase came to being in 1992, when Carville was advising Bill Clinton on his successful run for the White House.
