It’s tempting to get jaded when you spend any amount of time covering politics, or commenting on politics. Very often, you’ll weigh in on a particular issue. You’ll spend a lot of time developing arguments and presenting them. You might break some news. You might call your congressman or write a comment on social media. ...

Over the years, at various points, I’ve talked about the very long-running case involving Jeff Younger, his ex-wife Anne Georgulas, and their twin sons. A custody battle has unfolded for the better part of a decade concerning whether or not one of those twins — James, who’s now 12-years-old — should be allowed to “transition” into ...

Usually when you don’t hear about a story, that’s because it’s not particularly relevant or important. But every now and then, there’s a story that’s such a dud — that no one remotely cares about — that it actually manages to circle back around and become relevant and important again. The very fact that no ...

The other day we talked about some of the encouraging signs that Republicans in Congress are going to be a lot more responsive to their voters this time around. Unlike what we saw following the 2016 election, it doesn’t look like Republican lawmakers are deathly terrified of the Left anymore. They’re not worried about being ...

After Donald Trump’s first successful presidential campaign, back in 2016, it quickly became clear to everyone that Democrats and Republicans have very different approaches to getting things done in the world of politics. Democrats immediately launched criminal investigations of Trump’s campaign. They started talking about impeachment before Trump was even sworn in. They united as ...

Three years ago, a 25-year-old Honduran national named Medina Ulloa was stopped by border patrol agents in Texas. He gave them a fake name and lied about being a juvenile. But instead of kicking him out of the country, authorities gave him a “notice to appear” for a court date that everyone knew he’d never ...

On the rare occasions that I wade into the political situation of a foreign country, I inevitably receive a lot of very impassioned feedback from the locals. That’s especially true when the country is relatively small. Discussing political developments in a tiny, out-of-the-way country is a bit like talking about, say, anime, or the video ...

It’s no secret that, as Americans, we mostly focus on domestic politics in our own country. Unlike, say, Canadians, we don’t obsess over the daily comings-and-goings of other nations. It’s virtually impossible to find a single American who can name a Canadian Supreme Court justice or member of parliament, for example. I know I certainly ...

We have talked a lot over the years about the decline in the birthrate and the rapidly increasing number of young adults who are refusing to get married and have children. As much as we’ve discussed the subject, we still have not discussed it enough. It is one of the great crises facing our civilization ...

Try to think back, if you can, to the transition period of the Biden-Harris administration. I’m talking about the personnel decisions — and particularly the key Cabinet appointments — that the incoming administration made in the weeks after the media called the race for Joe Biden, back at the end of 2020. Those personnel decisions ...
