Go read the @politico feed. Scroll down for as long as you like. For days. Weeks, even. How would it be different if it were being written by the DNC? Seriously, it's just relentless, unmitigated propaganda.

I’m told by a doctor friend that Biden has that strain of Covid that requires him to quarantine until he’s officially the nominee of the Democratic Party. It’s a brutal mutation. Covid-24

This piece describes a political conspiracy. The people who orchestrated it extend well beyond Joe Biden. They include his most likely replacement—Kamala Harris. It cannot be fixed just by swapping her in and moving on. There must be a political price to pay for all involved. (1)

The press insists it didn’t know. If that’s the case, then the White House—including Kamala Harris—has successfully conspired to hide vital information from the media about the president. What does the media, which considers itself sacred and crucial, intend to do about that? (2)

And a massive win for the Bill of the Rights, which supersedes all of those things.

I've never understood this response to the enforcement of the Bill of Rights. We see it in criminal law, too. "But if the Bill of Rights is enforced, then the government won't be able to do whatever it wants to do in this area." Yes?

Amazingly enough, that's not what he wrote.

For what it's worth, I find the Roberts opinion, the Gorsuch concurrence, *and* the Thomas dissent persuasive as analyses under Bruen. What I don't find persuasive is revolting little demagogues like Reich who try to turn concerns about due process into defenses of bad men.

We have an entire class of journalists that believes that nothing is real, and that everything is about words, and that the public’s obvious concern about the tangible problems that are in front of their eyes is invariably about something else.

What concern over crime is *really* about. What concern over inflation is *really* about. What concern over education is *really* about. It’s tiresome. Astonishingly enough, most people don’t abstract everything in their lives out into your narrow and peculiar framework.

I'm seeing some criticism of this, but I'd challenge any writer to explain how he can be expected to do his invaluable work documenting the world if he doesn't kiss a Hamas mastermind before heading to the office and carry a hand grenade on his commute.

People ask me what my day's like. It's pretty standard, really. I wake up. I have a coffee. I read the papers. Then, when I'm done preparing, I lay out my desk so it's conducive to writing: pen, paper, curated notes, hand grenade.

Biden says he believes he can use the 14th Amendment on the debt ceiling. At no point in his presidency—not once—has he stood up and said No to the progressives in his party who, on the basis of obvious and risible lies, have demanded he violate his oath. nationalreview.com/2023/05/biden-… He can’t do it. It doesn’t matter what the topic is. Someone comes in with a ridiculous theory, be it on student loans or evictions or vaccine mandates or the debt limit, and, after a couple of weeks, he endorses the lie. This is who he is. nationalreview.com/2023/05/biden-…

Inspired by Virginia Heffernan's journalism, I sat down with Pete Buttigieg to discuss barges, Latin poetry, and my enduring love for his Cathedral of a mind—a love that makes breath poor and speech unable. nationalreview.com/2023/05/i-love… In between the seductive sips of Courvoisier atop which he builds his heady pedagogical flights, Pete Buttigieg leans back into his pulchritudinous chair. I am sitting in the great man’s office. nationalreview.com/2023/05/i-love…

George Soros is heavily engaged in American politics—ask him, he’ll talk about it openly and enthusiastically!—and he is as liable to be criticized for that engagement as is anyone else. Those pretending otherwise are just trying to shut you up. nationalreview.com/corner/george-… The reason people talk about “Soros-backed” prosecutors is that, as is his right, George Soros backs a lot of prosecutors. This isn’t a conspiracy theory; he writes about it often. Here he is last summer, outlining his approach in the Wall Street Journal: wsj.com/articles/why-i…
