The Mark Twain Prize has honored performers who have made a lasting impact on humor and culture for twenty-five years. Honorees receive a bronze bust of Twain. Mark Twain, the iconic American writer and satirist, was born Samuel Clemens. He was a gifted storyteller. Sunday night the award ceremony was held at the Kennedy Center […]
China once again tried to make a statement in the South China Sea. Two of its Coast Guard vessels turned water cannons on a resupply ship delivering supplies to a small Philippines’ outpost on Second Thomas Shoal. In this case, the attack did so much damage to the smaller wooden boat that it had to […]
“Misinformation” is a wonderfully flexible term. It means whatever the labeler decides it means. As we discovered during the pandemic, it certainly has little relationship to truth or falsity. Something that is true, such as the Hunter Biden laptop being really Hunter Biden’s, can also be misinformation because it says things that the powers that […]
The Census Bureau recently released its latest report on “domestic” migration and the results demonstrate that Americans are on the move. And we’re talking about a lot of them. This particular study is interesting because it doesn’t just measure the flow of population between states. It breaks the numbers down to the county level, capturing […]
Oh my. Joe Biden picked this fight, and now he’s going to get it — no matter how useless this UN Security Council resolution actually is. And typically for Biden and Antony Blinken, they blundered their way into the hands of Russia and China. First, Biden and Blinken tried to pressure Israel’s unity government to […]
The meltdown from the left about the hiring of former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is spectacular. McDaniel was hired by NBC News as a political analyst.

Richard Feynman was among the greatest scientists of the 20th century and, more importantly, one of the best teachers of science ever. As a theoretical physicist, he helped revolutionize the field, especially with his work on quantum mechanics. I don’t pretend to understand his work, and while I admire him for what he did, he […]
It would appear that it’s not always the best idea to send out our vaunted “Border Czar” to sit down with the media unsupervised and just start… talking. It’s normally harmless enough since she typically either just starts giggling or rambling about Venn diagrams. But this weekend she gave an interview to ABC News and […]
The tension between the Biden administration and Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu is growing. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with Netanyahu Friday in Israel. He warned against a ground assault in Rafah. “It risks killing more civilians, it risks wreaking greater havoc with the provision of humanitarian assistance, it risks further isolating Israel around the […]
I have never served in the military, perhaps because I feared running into Beege and suffering her wrath. Never tick off a Marine. Don’t ask me how I learned that lesson. But I have always been fascinated by military matters and foreign policy. In graduate school, my second field was security studies, and one of […]
