MAGA Republicans are so obsessed with the “feminization” of America that they’re passing laws to control women in every aspect of their lives. Just yesterday, their Republican-controlled Supreme Court upheld laws gutting Title IX provisions that protect women from discrimination in schools. Trump and the White Christian nationalists behind Project 2025 for America believe women… Read more.
In what’s fast becoming a space-age rerun of Gilligan’s Island, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are marooned in orbit. It turns out their Boeing spaceship has more in common with the S.S. Minnow than a reliable spacecraft. This is a friggin’ PR disaster. Technical problems forced NASA to abort this mission at the… Read more.
Trump’s racist and misogynistic attacks against Kamala are only exacerbating the congenital problem he has with women voters. But even that pales in comparison with the problem he has with Black women, particularly four of them: Vice President Kamala Harris, New York AG Letitia James, Fulton County DA Fani Willis, and U.S. District Judge Tanya… Read more.
There’s clear and convincing evidence that strongman Nicolás Maduro suffered a humiliating defeat in last month’s election. But no one should’ve been surprised that he claimed victory and refused to cede power. Then, on Sunday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Biden administration held secret talks to offer Maduro amnesty. The administration made a… Read more.
Granted, this isn’t nearly as bad as Trump dodging the Draft. But still, it speaks volumes that CNN’s Jim Acosta sounded like Trump yesterday when he accosted a Harris campaign spokesman: Would it kill you guys to have a press conference? Why hasn’t she had a press conference? News media across the spectrum have been… Read more.

The media are hailing Nikki Haley for her “blunt message” to Trump, telling him to focus on GOP issues instead of personal attacks against Kamala Harris. But let’s not forget this is the same Haley who once declared that no one in their right mind would vote for a wannabe Mafia Don who’s now a… Read more.
If Iran wanted to retaliate with devastating effect, it would have done so long ago. Instead, as with the last time, Iran and its proxies are telegraphing it, challenging Israel to another round of ballistic skeet shooting. Once again, the only winners will be the arms manufacturers who will get tens of billions to replenish… Read more.
On Sunday, to the relief of sensible people everywhere, Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris to carry the presidential torch. In fact, how’s this for “divine intervention”: I’ll see your Trump escaping an assassin’s bullet by the skin of his ear and raise you Biden putting country above himself by withdrawing… Read more.
Over two years ago, I explained Lewis Hamilton’s failure to make the podium after reigning as F1 champion for seven years: Only one thing explains Hamilton being so suddenly relegated among the last-place finishers. And it compels me to end by channeling Spike Lee’s famous Nike character Mars Blackmon with this observation: Alas, it had… Read more.
