Some people are more litigious than others. Donald Trump is a litigious person. That fact is well-known. ABC News and George Stephanopoulos are being sued by Trump and it is delicious. Stephanopoulos is the host of ABC’s This Week on Sunday mornings. A couple of weeks ago, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was a guest on the […]
Ezra Klein has an interview today with political scientist Jennifer Sciubba who studies demography around the world. She’s the author of a book titled “8 Billion and Counting.” But as the conversation quickly points out, we’re probably only going to be counting upward for a few more decades. Many of the world’s most populous countries […]
This story is going to be memory-holed ASAP. It breaks the Narrative™ into tiny little pieces, grinds them up in a blender, and the dust spelled out INSANITY in glowing letters. Hence it will be buried. A transgender migrant was kiIed in broad daylight by a man shouting homophobic insults…. The suspect is an illegal […]
In this line of work, we frequently have occasion to make use of articles from a variety of scientific journals when researching topics of interest.

That means less foot traffic for downtown businesses which have been closing at a swift pace over the past year. Downtown is quickly becoming a place where people just […]
Yesterday we learned the shocking news from Donald Trump’s legal team that he has thus far been unable to raise the ludicrous sum of $454 million to post a bond in his civil “fraud” trial in New York City. Under the terms of the latest round of lawfare being waged against him by partisan NY […]
Ragin’ Cajun James Carville has some advice for President Biden and his re-election campaign. “He’s drowning, give him an anvil.” That’s cartoonishly crazy advice, but that is how Carville operates. Carville was referring to Donald Trump’s legal woes and the reaction in the press to his ‘bloodbath’ remark. Look at any poll or video of […]
