Just a few years ago, the nation rioted over a black career criminal’s drug overdose. We gave black America a second national holiday. American embassies flew Black Lives Matter flags all over the world. Democrats were all rushing to “study” reparations. Major corporations announced explicit racial quotas to ensure blacks got plum jobs. Rap was ubiquitous and black music was the only music allowed at the Super Bowl halftime show. But things changed. We’re living in an age where affirmative action is diminished, DEI is rolled back, and rap is no longer in the top 40. Blackness no longer has...

Barry is a man with a mission and no mojo to back it up. Barack Obama has been treated like the untouchable kingmaker of the Democrat Party. The media built him into a political rock star. Dems acted like an endorsement from Mr. Barry Obama could move mountains, calm seas, and shape elections. However, none of that ever happened, even though the media likes to pretend it did. On one side, you’ve got President Trump, who is tightening his grip on the Republican Party in ways many never expected. He’s steamrolling anti-Trump Republicans all over the country, while Obama’s political...

On Monday, the Supreme Court issued two brief procedural orders involving Voting Rights Act (VRA) cases — one out of Mississippi, the other out of North Dakota. Neither case was decided on the merits. Instead, the Court "GVR'd" the cases, meaning it granted review of them, vacated lower court rulings, and remanded the cases to the lower courts for further consideration in light of the Court's recent ruling in Louisiana v. Callais. Despite their brevity, the orders may still have major implications for future VRA lawsuits. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented as to both orders, seemingly out of concern that...

There are a number of questions regarding the whole Odyssey saga. One is how somebody as smart as Christopher Nolan got entangled with woke nonsense in the first place. (And yes, Nolan is smart – anybody who could take a storyline as convoluted as that of Memento and make it not only comprehensible but enthralling to the average audience is no slouch when it comes to intellect.) Another is why he felt compelled to pick up wokism just as it’s collapsing in the culture at large. It’s May 1945 in the Wachenbunker and everybody else is fleeing – but here...
