How do you solve a problem like Marjorie? Even after Twitter banned Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal account for a fifth-strike violation of spreading false covid information in January, the Jewish space laser conspiracy theorist still, inexplicably, has control of her official Twitter account. And boy is she putting...

Hollywood can put together a great summer blockbuster, legal thriller and holiday rom-com, but they sure can’t seem to get the Oscars right. This year’s broadcast was an unmitigated disaster, and not just because of you-know-what (but we’ll get there). It’s been nearly a quarter- century since the highest rated Academy...

A man is known by the company he keeps. The origin of that well-worn line is a fable by Aesop called, fittingly, “The Ass and His Purchaser.” As it goes, a man brings a new donkey home, and when he sees that it chooses to sidle up next to “the...

He had the audience enraptured. The crowd of evangelicals at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia last weekend hung on his every word. He spoke softly and with a smile, telling his personal story of finding the Lord and loving Jesus. He wove in parables and allegories that seemed both spontaneous...

As heartbreaking and unimaginable images, videos and reports flood out of war-torn Ukraine, comparisons to World War II Europe are impossible to avoid. Thousands of families sleeping underground in subway stations, cramming onto outbound trains, air-raid sirens the new normal, beautiful buildings that once lit up a cosmopolitan city now...

President Biden, a long-time presidential hopeful, has waited decades to give a State of the Union address, and by all accounts it went off without a hitch Tuesday night. There were history-making moments, and many others that were jarring, disorienting and downright surreal. Here we are, in 2022, in the...

The Conservative Political Action Conference, better known as CPAC, falls every year around my birthday. In fact, I turned many of my 20s and 30s while nerding out at the Omni Shoreham hotel in Washington at panels with people like Fred Barnes, Bill Kristol and Jonah Goldberg. I went because...

Anthony Weiner’s message is clear: don’t call it a comeback. Well, don’t worry, I won’t. But if it’s quite all right with the man formerly known as “Carlos Danger,” I will call it gross. Disturbing. Pathetic. Revolting. How else to describe the unwelcome news that the former Democratic congressman who...

As President Biden prepares to meet with New York City Mayor Eric Adams to address the years-long surge in violent gun crime, he’s taking an important, if a little late, step in acknowledging what many Americans have known for some time: We have a serious problem of rising violence in...

Just this past week, covid deaths hit an 11-month high in the United States, surging 11% compared to the previous week. While cases are finally beginning to drop, an average of 2,200 people a day are still dying thanks to the highly contagious omicron variant, bringing total fatalities in our...

Last weekend in Florence, Ariz., supporters of former President Trump gathered to attend one of his infamous rallies, to bond with like-minded MAGA cohorts and bathe in Trump’s ill-fated promises and unhinged conspiracy theories. They got their money’s worth. Trump pushed the debunked theory that the FBI had plants among...

The year was 2005, and I was a 20-something living in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. As such, feeling hip and somewhat subversive, my friends and I looked for hip and somewhat subversive things to do. (Key word: somewhat. We all had real jobs.) When we’d heard that...

Edmund Burke. Russell Kirk. And … Jesse Watters? One of the hosts of Fox’s “The Five,” Watters said the quiet part out loud Monday evening, when discussing President Biden’s agenda and pushback he’s getting from progressives in his party. “(D)o I feel sorry for Joe Biden? No. I work at...

For the past nearly decade, I’ve asked friends, colleagues, politicos and celebs to share their New Year’s resolutions with me and my readers. After the year we’ve had, I’m especially grateful to get just a glimpse into their fragile psyches and guarded optimism as we all head warily into 2022....

“Cancel Christmas.” That’s what the chilling email addressed to me read, nearly a dozen years ago, right around the holidays. The anonymous author went on to say he’d kill me coming out of Fox News, where I was working at the time. As a political commentator, I’d sadly grown accustomed...

The year is 1893 and Clark Stanley, the self-styled “Rattlesnake King,” is preparing for his big moment at the World’s Exposition in Chicago. Fairgoers have already been wowed by Otis Brothers’ elevator exhibit, George Washington Gale Ferris’ giant wheel and Thomas Edison’s kinetoscope. But they haven’t seen Stanley yet. According...

Less than a year out from the 2022 midterm elections, in which Democrats could lose their control of Congress, President Biden’s approval numbers are under water. The party is already facing historical headwinds, given that the controlling party usually suffers in the following midterms. Making matters worse, a number of...

Soulless. Morally bankrupt. Insane? It’s hard to find the right word to describe the latest lows to which right-wing personalities and elected officials are stooping to smear and attack Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and former Trump adviser. Imagine, if you dare,...

If you’re over the age of 30, you probably recognize the iconic black and orange can that sat in so many of our freezers and supermarkets growing up: the Minute Maid concentrated orange juice can. Developed in the 1940s to safely ship Vitamin C to our troops in World War...

As I began my morning reading, I had to do a double-take at the Politico headline near the bottom of the home page: “He’s nuts and he’s got a vendetta:” While that easily could have described former President Donald Trump, or his one-time aide Steve Bannon, who surrendered to authorities...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez did not ask for this. Yes, she’s a public servant who, by definition, knows that she signed up for a kind of scrutiny that comes with a job as an elected official — but surely not this kind. And she’s not shied away from the spotlight during...

The headlines as of late have not been great for President Biden. “There’s no magic in the Oval Office right now,” says one, quoting a Senate Democrat. “Joe Biden ‘Asleep’ at Climate Summit Sparks Wave of Criticism and Sympathy,” reads another. And finally, there’s this: “Poll shows Democrats want to...

He’s, admittedly, a fairly unsympathetic figure. Alec Baldwin, the actor, short-time talk show host, Donald Trump impersonator and longtime blowhard and villain of the right, has said and done some pretty lamentable things over the past few decades. He’s been sued for assault in several attacks on paparazzi. He was...

Like so many issues corrupted by America’s increasing political extremism, the cartoonish contours of our public abortion debate belie the more benign, uncontroversial realities on the ground. For example, despite very loud attempts at turning abortions into celebratory occasions by some on the far left, most Americans do not believe...

“Is she crazy?” read the early-morning text from a colleague. “What is she thinking?” read a text from another. “She can’t think this is GOOD,” read yet another. The barrage of chatter from fellow media friends, all referring to the release of several excerpts from Katie Couric’s forthcoming, trash-talking tell-all,...
