Growing up, I learned very little history. I suspect this is a failing of the American education system. Even in college–I went to an elite private liberal arts college–I wasn’t required to study any history, and I was under the misimpression that history was learning the names and dates of various monarchs and the wars […]
The Christmas season doesn’t feel too bright for a handful of students at Barton, a prep school in New England, nor for the one instructor they all genuinely loathe. While most of their friends have gone home for the holidays, these students have to remain at school with Mr. Hunham, their instructor in ancient civilizations, […]
The new year is once again upon us and all of us here at Hot Air and the rest of the Salem Media Network want to extend our thanks to all of you who regularly visit our sites, take in our content, and participate in the ongoing conversations. With the overwhelming majority of the legacy […]
2023 is almost over. Thank God. What an annus horibilis. As disunited as we are in the good ol’ USA, pretty much everybody agrees that things are not moving in the right direction. And, for the most part, we all blame Joe Biden. Biden is surely a big part of the problem, but only in […]
This morning’s Gospel reading is Luke 2:22–40: When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the […]
We learned on Friday that Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows had unilaterally decreed that Donald Trump could not have his name on the primary ballot in her state.

Titled “5 twists that could upend Democrats’ best-laid plans for the 2024 election,” it’s intended to be a combination of prognostication and analysis, but the framing of the piece is clearly one-sided. It might as well be headlined ‘How Democrats Could […]
In this season of giving, I’ll donate to the Doe Fund, a charity that helps drug abusers and ex-cons find purpose in life through work. Doe’s approach doesn’t include many handouts. It’s mostly about encouraging people to work. “Work works!” they say. It does. Most Doe Fund workers don’t go back to jail. I’ll also […]
The Biden border crisis extends to the northern border the United States shares with Canada. Joe Biden isn’t paying any attention to that border, either. An Iranian national who has been living in Canada was apprehended when he crossed the U.S. border. He has ties to terrorism. The third time was the charm for him […]
In case you didn’t get enough lumps of coal (or some carbon-free alternative) in your Christmas stocking, here’s a late entry for you. As John discussed yesterday, the US delegation to Mexico went to beg for help from President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador with the Biden border crisis this week. He predicted that whatever help […]
