No episode in the American past is more susceptible to such manipulation—manipulation rather than debate—than the Civil War. On the historical question permit me to be blunt and unequivocal. There can be no doubt that slavery was central to all that divided the northern and the southern states, and that slavery was ultimately responsible for […]
Though a self-described “man of the left,” Christopher Lasch was once and always a populist. By the end of his life, he was concerned with the rise to power of American elites who, as of the mid-1990s, were already alien to—and divorced from—the masses of ordinary American citizens. The Revolt of the Elites and the […]
Hogarth “Chairing the Member” 1818 Auld Mac’s Almanack, or what the calendar for 2024 holds. And boy is 2024 going to be a one huge year for those of us who enjoy following elections and trying to for-guess the result. Truly we are in for a combo of the World Cup and the Olympics as […]
Two Democratic officials moved to boot former President Donald Trump off the ballot in their states Thursday, even as one of them acknowledged that voters would be able to select the 2024 Republican front-runner until further notice. Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that Trump would remain on the ballot until the U.S. Supreme […]
In October, President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign released an ad targeting working-class families in his home state of Pennsylvania. Titled “Never Left,” the nostalgic ad featuring childhood photos of a young Biden aired in the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scranton markets as part of a $25 million campaign, according to the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. “He grew up […]

That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court […]
Former President Donald Trump will appear on the GOP primary ballot in Colorado, state officials announced on Thursday. The stunning reversal nullifies a state Supreme Court ruling from two weeks ago wherein justices voted 4-3 to keep the former president off the ballot over false claims he is an insurrectionist. The Colorado court’s decision was […]
The Michigan Supreme Court declined Wednesday to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot. The court wrote that it was “not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this Court” before rejecting the case on procedural grounds, according to a brief order. Last week, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump was ineligible to […]
Students learn in civics class—or at least they used to—that under the U.S. Constitution, Congress passes the laws, and the president and the rest of the executive branch have the duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” It seems that many federal officials missed that lesson in school, however, since government agencies […]
