Opinion | Don’t Be So Sure a Supreme Court Backlash Will Boost Democrats

There is plausibility to this notion. The consensus narrative goes something like this: After Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, it triggered passionate opposition from the pro-life constituency, while pro-choicers grew complacent as the years went by. Abortion foes consistently were more focused on the issue — and the allied issue of Supreme Court […]

Opinion | No, Afghanistan Is Not the End of American Power

What does it say that we couldn’t match that? “America’s great retreat,” Robin Wright writes in the New Yorker, “is at least as humiliating as the Soviet Union’s withdrawal in 1989, an event that contributed to the end of its empire and Communist rule.” She believes it may serve as “a bookend for the era […]

Opinion | The Hidden Message In Joe Biden’s Afghanistan Speech

We spent “$300 million a day for 20 years,” he said. “What have we lost as a consequence in terms of opportunities?” And while he talked of the heroism of our military, intelligence personnel and diplomats, Biden’s account of what veterans suffered was nothing less than searing: “A lot of our veterans and their families […]

Opinion | Will Afghanistan Take Biden Down? Not Likely.

For one thing, it’s rare that voters hold a president accountable for a foreign policy decision. It’s more than a truism that the economy drives elections: It’s a long-held finding in political science. Voters reward the party in power when the economy is growing and punish it during recessions. This isn’t to say foreign policy […]

Opinion | The Emptiness of Democrats’ Big Deal

The agreement has to be accorded some level of respect, since it keeps alive the possibility of victory for President Joe Biden’s agenda. But what it really shows, besides Pelosi’s deftness, is just how far Democrats are from a coherent governing force. Particularly with a huge trust deficit between the party’s factions, the struggle between […]

Man Forcibly Imprisoned in Mental Asylum For Different Opinion on COVID

The Premier of Victoria has asserted that authorities “won’t hesitate” to go “door-to-door” to carry out mandatory COVID tests on Australians. Daniel Andrews made the comments during a press conference as Australia continues to pursue a ludicrous ‘zero COVID’ policy that mandates draconian lockdowns in response to just a handful of new cases. “We’re not […]

Opinion | Who Trump Thinks Is Really to Blame for the Covid Surge

But for Trump, who famously launched his presidential campaign by warning about Mexican rapists, the focus on migrants was like playing his greatest hits all over again. Think of it as the 2021 version of the immigrant “caravans.” This is all taking place as public health officials are desperately trying to keep the focus on […]

Opinion | Why Are Democrats Celebrating Biden’s Evictions Power Grab?

Indeed, Biden’s handiwork is being celebrated as courageous and compassionate. What can he do as follow-up? Suspend habeas corpus? Quarter troops in people’s homes? Biden’s eviction moratorium is of a piece with similar executive power grabs by his predecessors, particularly Barack Obama’s DACA and Donald Trump’s repurposing of military funding to the border wall. That […]

Opinion | Republicans Shouldn’t Sign on to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal

The conventional wisdom is that the Senate has to prove that it can work, and the test of its functioning is how much of Biden’s spending Republicans endorse. This is a distorted view of the Senate’s role, which shouldn’t be to get on board a historic spending spree for which Biden won no mandate and […]

Opinion | What Biden’s Anti-Crime Agenda Gets Wrong

The Joe Biden of the 1990s would know exactly what to do—throw cops and enhanced sentences at the problem, toward the goal of arresting more criminals and keeping them off the streets longer. But that was a long time ago, and Biden has since said that approach was a mistake. So, he’s left with measures […]
