This week, I spoke to @MichaelAuslin about his new book, 'National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America.' Who wrote it? How close we were to losing the original? How did it help assimilate immigrants? What happened to it in WWII?

All it took for Pete Buttigieg to finally take an interest in transportation was for him to no longer be the Secretary of Transportation.

This story consists of 20 paragraphs, and at no point in any of them does NBC relate that the shooter shouted “free Palestine!” before he opened fire. To find that out, I had to read the British left-wing newspaper, The Guardian.

"Leo" is fine. But, in my opinion, the first American Pope ought to be called Wyatt or Randy or Chuck.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/42PQfL7

Paid or not, this guy is truly one of the weirdest people in our political life.

This is an amazing tweet. This couple chose to retire early, in their early 50s, on a $127,000/year government pension. They already get $5,500/year in subsidies for health insurance, and they want $15,000/year instead. And this is supposed to thrill me?

Early retirees like Bill & Shelly will see their health insurance premiums increase nearly 300%—from $442 to $1,700 per month if Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the enhanced tax credits. That's an extra $15K a year families can't afford. cnbc.com/2025/10/17/aca…

At root, the NPR story and the Colbert story are the same: progressives took over a product, made it so that people didn’t want to pay it for it—whether via advertising, subscriptions, or donations—and they’re now upset that it won’t be perpetually bailed out by a third party.

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.

Oh, definitely. That’s why Mangione was charged with murder: Because of Donald Trump. Mangione was just hanging around in New York, minding his own business, and then along came Trump, with his political agenda, and made him a pawn.

The Trump administration is making Luigi Mangione “a pawn to further its political agenda," his attorneys argued Friday in a new court filing that asked a federal judge to either dismiss the indictment or take the death penalty off the table. abcnews.link/wt0ax8B

This remains the weirdest shutdown in years. The Democrats shut down the government, and have a set of particular demands to reopen it. They’re clear about those demands, but, at the same time, routinely deny they shut down the government. Own it!

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House. This is their shutdown.

An amazing fact about this election is that the Republicans could have chosen someone else.

If you’re looking for a broader takeaway from all this, take how the press covered up Biden’s infirmity because it wanted to protect the Democrats, and apply it to literally every single thing that it does, on any topic, in any year, in any circumstance, forever.
