Isn't it great to have the media complaining about what a Republican is doing, instead of what he's tweeting? The New York Times recently did a major investigation into Gov. Ron DeSantis' suspension last August of a Florida prosecutor for the flimsy reason that he'd publicly announced that he ...
From time to time, my readers email me asking for my take on issues of the day. (This has happened twice.) I feel more obliged than usual to respond, now that we know that the rest of the media cannot state an opinion on anything until they figure out which side Trump is on. MSNBC: Trump is ...
With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis busy running the third-largest state, enacting a magnificently conservative agenda, promoting a new book, and having to respond to endless demands that he run for president (not to mention banning the words "gay" and "slavery" -- the man's a whirlwind of activity!), I ...
It made news this week when The Lancet, a once-respected medical journal, finally admitted that there's such a thing as "natural immunity" with COVID. (Is it too much to hope that, in another three years, The Lancet will cease referring to women as "bodies with vaginas"?) Several months into "15 ...
Nikki Haley's announcement that she was running for president reminded me of my lifelong dream to move to India, so I can boss around Indians and tell them to stop worshipping cows and rats. That was the main point of what I said on the Mark Simone radio show last week, which was promptly chopped ...
Ancient primitives -- or as we now call them, "Indigenous people whose land we stole" -- believed in talismans, voodoo, rain dances and other versions of "A preceded B, so A caused B." Today, we consider such reasoning classic fallacy. Except at The New York Times. First, you need to understand ...
Lots of politicians have been caught burnishing their resumes, but recently, one of our elected representatives has come under fire for telling some real whoppers. And no, I'm not talking about George Santos. In a space of three days last fall, President Joe Biden claimed to be Puerto Rican, ...
The use of DNA to arrest Bryan Kohberger for the murder of four college students in Idaho reminds me that it's time to bring the death penalty back in a big way. Notwithstanding the absence of a single example, the possibility of executing the "wrong man" has been the left's main line against the ...
DNA evidence has now shown with greater than 99.9998% probability that Bryan Kohberger was the man who murdered four University of Idaho students in the early morning of Nov. 13, 2022. His capture illustrates why there will be no more serial killers. As the world gets worse in so many ways, here's ...
This is the only "So Long, 2022!" column you need to read. I combed The New York Times' archives for all the pivotal moments. It turns out that 2022 was a MAJOR year for firsts. True, other years had their noteworthy events -- the first flight, the first man to walk on the moon, the first iPhone ...
