Nikki Haley Offers Moral Instruction to U.S.

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 ...

Magical Thinking at The New York Times

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 ...

George Santos Embraces ‘Storytelling’

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, ...

There’s a 0.00002% Chance You’ve Got the Wrong Man

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 ...

His capture illustrates why there will be no more serial killers. As the world gets worse in so many ways, here's ...

2023’s First List of Openly Gay Transgender Nonwhite Accomplishments

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 ...

All the Presidents’ Insurrections

Well, the Jan. 6 committee has produced its long-awaited report. In a surprise move, the committee referred former President Donald Trump for criminal prosecution, accusing him of inciting insurrection, among other crimes. In fairness, Jan. 6, 2021, was the day that Trump announced he would open ...

Gays, You’re Not Black

For at least a half-century now, every special pleader in America has made the following argument: Yeah, but what if we were black? This is supposed to be rhetorical kryptonite, capable of anathematizing "discrimination" against any group: atheists, women, gays, immigrants, illegal immigrants, the ...

Georgia State Capitol

That Old Trump Magic!

The fact that Herschel Walker barely lost his Senate runoff in Georgia demonstrates beyond a doubt that ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE WON. This is kind of important. Raphael Warnock's victory Tuesday night gives the Democrats a 51-seat majority in the Senate -- 52 with the vice ...

Donald Trump is Nick Fuentes

Who's the happiest guy in America this week? Nick Fuentes. In a matter of days, he's gone from total obscurity to the most famous person in the country. Everybody's talking about him! Until he had dinner with Trump, literally, no one had ever heard of him (except various "hate watch" groups ...
