Joe Biden Sold Voters a Pig in a Poke
A “poke” is a 16th century term for a bag and the term refers to a concealed item being sold. It wasn’t until the 19th century that it was explained as a confidence trick, where a farmer would substitute a cat for a suckling pig when bringing it to market. Joe Biden ran against Donald […]
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Inclusiveness and “Our Democracy”
In the catchall phrase “Our Democracy,” today’s progressives are alluding to one of their modern virtues – inclusion. But as any good progressive would say, that is a false narrative, Daniel Henninger explains in the WSJ. Worse than Carbon Emissions When progressives refer to “our democracy,” what they mean is their democracy. To be a […]
Opening Schools Once a Week?
The Biden administration is now backtracking on its promise to have schools open within 100 days.

A Banana Republic Show Trial?
The House impeachers, in their single and sloppy impeachment article, accuse Mr. Trump of “incitement of insurrection, ” offers the WSJ. This is a stretch, not least because Mr. Trump called on the marchers to behave “peacefully.” The House managers mention this only in passing in their trial brief. It is doubtful that Mr. Trump’s […]

Why Didn’t “the Boss” Move to Australia?
Before the 2020 election, Bruce Springsteen threatened/promised to move to the Land Down Under should Donald Trump be elected president. Well, it didn’t happen. Bruce’s moving, that is. Instead Super Bowl LV fans were subjected to Bruce’s preaching through very peculiar religious imagery to sell cars. Specifically, Bruce was selling Jeeps through “The Middle,” a […]
Equality Is Paving the Way to Mediocrity
Most startups fail because innovation is darn difficult. A gaggle of geeks sitting cross-legged (Sukhasana) around computer screens may not look challenging (it is), but generally it requires people of all genders, nationalities, personalities coming together with their expensive, focused college degrees. Geek-ish innovators forgo many pleasures in life. Instead, they work long hours to […]

You can read Jay Nordlinger’s full write-up here. (Jeff ) and his dad (Mark) had taken a trip to Auschwitz together. His dad had been there before. Mark Jacoby was […]
A Big Victory for Republicans
Even though Joe Biden has proclaimed a record number of policies during January, the biggest coup may belong to Republicans with their recent vote (it wasn’t even close) to keep Rep. Liz Cheney (WY) in her House leadership post. As Kimberley Strassel points out in the WSJ, the GOP has a long way to go […]
