UNDER Scotland’s Hate Crime and Public Order Act, citizens may be prosecuted for speech in the privacy of their own home. The Act came into effect on April 1. Given how egregiously it violates the principles of free expression and limited government, it seems especially apt that it came into effect on April Fool’s Day, […]
JK Rowling is challenging the Scottish police to arrest her. Her crime? Hate speech is now illegal in Scotland after a new law went into effect. And her Twitter thread calling men claiming to be women “men” is a clear violation of that law. Clear. Unambiguous. Not even a shadow of a doubt. She broke […]
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 […]
For some reason this is Canada Day here at Hot Air. At least for me it is. You know I am deeply concerned with the fate of the Anglosphere, and that I fear that this cultural bloc which has been at the vanguard of promoting freedom is on the verge of becoming a haven for […]
GB NEWS is upsetting Britain’s delicate ‘broadcast ecology’ and should be shut down, Sky’s Adam Boulton whined just over six months ago. An unfortunate phrase to use in the circumstances, given that the process most associated with ecosystems is Charles Darwin’s survival of the fittest through natural selection.

DELAWARE COUNTY, Pennsylvania — It is a bit jarring to observe the divide between what the legacy press, Democrats and cable news hosts observed when they watched President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, and how persuadable voters of both Republican and Democratic leanings reacted. On […]
Today, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, one of several cases brought against federal officials by multiple states seeking to block them from using their influence over social media companies to suppress primarily conservative content and opinions. Lower courts have previously sided with the states in some of these cases, but […]
As is my usual custom, I didn’t bother staying up to watch Joe Biden blunder his way through his State of the Union Speech last night. (We forced Beege to do it.) But while browsing through some of the lowlights this morning, one disruption caught my eye. After the President made a patently false statement […]
Adam Schiff had a good day yesterday. He won the California Senate primary and the special primary that will determine who gets the last two months of Dianne Feinstein’s term. Also, by spending his campaign funds running against Steve Garvey he managed to push progressive favorite Katie Porter into 3rd place. That means he won’t […]
