Top Democrats are so alarmed about Joe Biden's ailing health some fear a shadowy cabal is keeping him in power so they can pull levers behind the scenes, it is claimed. The astonishing theory was detailed in the liberal New York magazine. Its reporter Olivia Nuzzi revealed that even Democrat elites are stumped as to how and why the fast-declining 81 year-old is being allowed to continue his re-election bid. Nuzzi said she had heard questions being posed by high-ranking Democrats on the east and west coasts about whether Biden is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by another...

Joe Biden is playing voters for suckers. He thinks he can snap up their votes with some sleight-of-hand new policy on the southern border. This all comes cynically as the border is emerging as a major issue in the campaign for president; only 28 percent of voters approve of Biden’s handling of the matter so far, and voters overall mark it as their second biggest concern, after the economy. But why fix anything when you can just fake the rubes out? Biden took executive action earlier this month to turn away asylum seekers who cross the southern border illegally when...

U.S. Magistrate Judge Christopher J.

Can Senator McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican party, Donald Trump? He is the most consequential Republican since Ronald Reagan. It's his nomination if he wants it....

Welcome to shortage economies and the corruption they incentivize. With vaccine/test mandates coming down from Panem — er, Washington DC — demand for COVID-19 tests to allow for public engagement has gone through the roof. Politico points out that this has created a “Hunger Games” situation in which organizations have to find ways to outdo each other to survive. The biggest loser will likely be K-12 schools, Politico points out: An avalanche of student Covid-19 test kits covered a FedEx drop box in Chicago. Long lines and delayed deliveries slowed school testing sites in California. And families scrambled across U.S....
