Disband the ICC – Washington Examiner
The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, called on Monday for the arrest of Israel’s prime minister for war crimes. In doing so, he hammered another nail into the coffin of the ICC, which predictably has become a force not for a better world but for malevolent international apparatchiks to wield as a weapon against Western-oriented liberal democracies. […]
Finally a presidential debate – Washington Examiner
Voters may have been denied the opportunity to see President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump debate during their parties’ respective primaries, but thanks to some behind-the-scenes negotiations, and bad polls for Biden, suddenly general election debates are on. And voters are better off for it. Just two months ago, when asked on the […]
Biden’s EV incoherence – Washington Examiner
A week after gifting Chinese electric vehicle component manufacturers billions in tax credits, President Joe Biden sought to undo that political damage by slapping tariffs on fully made Chinese electric cars. These contradicting policies won’t work economically or help Biden politically, but they do point to the commonsense way forward. Namely, an end to Biden’s […]
What has ‘neoliberalism’ dismantled? – Washington Examiner
“Neoliberalism” can be a vague term, but it’s still an oft-used one. In a few different milieux, mainly progressive or far-left circles and also some post-liberal or liberal-skeptical circles on the right, it’s used as a curse. Depending on which critic you are listening to, “neoliberalism” can include capitalism, it can include secularism, it can […]
The Biden hostage betrayal – Washington Examiner
Does President Joe Biden even know that Hamas is holding five American hostages? Does anybody in his administration care? Do the administration’s water carriers in the liberal media care, either? One would think not, judging by the rarity of mentions of this crisis by the president, his spokespeople, or the news media. The absence of […]
The Trump trial farce – Washington Examiner
The Democratic Party’s pathetic abuse of the criminal justice system to help reelect President Joe Biden reached a new low this week when Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Donald Trump, put pornographic actress Stormy Daniels on the stand solely to broadcast demeaning details of a sexual encounter with […]
Liberals vs. au pairs – Washington Examiner
In terms of money wages, au pairs are probably the lowest-paid workers in our economy. These are foreigners, usually young, European women, who work as nannies in American households. There are about 20,000 of them in the United States, and they come here under a special program managed by the State Department. Typically, they work […]
Biden’s xenophobic gaffe – Washington Examiner
Another day, another clean up on aisle old man Biden. This time, President Joe Biden was caught telling donors in Washington, D.C., that the reason the economies of China, Japan, Russia, and India are “stalling” is that they are all “xenophobic.” When asked by reporters what Biden meant when he called India and Japan, both […]
The out-of-touch Democratic elites – Washington Examiner
For some of the young college students arrested after trespassing at Columbia University last week, it was not their first brush with the law. One young woman from a $2.2 million home in suburban Atlanta had previously killed two senior citizens in Vermont when her pickup truck crossed over a double yellow line, crashing into […]
Biden’s information power grab – Washington Examiner
Remember when the internet died on June 11, 2018? Neither do we. But if you had listened to any member of the Democratic Party who commented on the subject at the time, that was the day Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai destroyed the internet with the rescission of former President Barack Obama‘s “net neutrality” […]
