Rep. Jeffries Taking a Big Step

By: Peniel Joseph， CNN
US Rep. Hakeem Jeffries' election to be the first Black minority leader in American history reflects the potential, possibility and power of multiracial democracy. The 52-year-old congressman representing New York's 8th Congressional District in Brooklyn and Queens, reflects both a generational and cultural shift from retiring House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose legendary tenure made her a trailblazing feminist icon and an impeccably dressed breaker of glass ceilings, unafraid of tussling in public with former President Donald Trump.

By: Chitra Ragavan， Newsweek

Democrats, Stop Patting Yourselves on the Back

By: Daryl οΌ†ampοΌ› Ken Weber， RealClearPolitics
In the 2022 midterm elections, Democrats did better than everyone thought. History says the party in the White House loses seats in Congress when the first midterm election rolls around. But this time Democrats held the Senate and lost fewer seats in the House than expected.

Biden's Rail Debacle Signals Shakeup

By: Sen. Marco Rubio， The American Conservative
Scranton Joe's decision to side with rail companies over rail workers in the intra-industry debate was stunning. Over the last few weeks, the companies risked a nationwide shutdown of freight rail because they wouldn't give their workers any paid sick days. That is despite earning tremendous profits and paying out about $200 billion in dividends and stock buybacks over the past 12 years.

The Decline of Higher Education

By: John Ellis， City Journal
In the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties, academic-freedom disputes routinely took a particular shape. In a small town, somewhere in the heartland, there would be a college campus on which a young academic loudly voiced his opinions on controversial matters-mostly political, but sometimes also on sexual morality, or even on legalizing drugs. This would offend the sensitivities of some local townspeople.

Biden Admin Waives SCOTUS Review in Key Transgender Fight

By: Joe Davis， RCPolicy
For the last six years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has pushed a controversial "transgender mandate," which threatens religious doctors and hospitals with multimillion dollar penalties unless they perform gender transitions in violation of their conscience and medical judgment. When those doctors fought back-winning a major victory in federal appeals court in August-the fight appeared poised to head to the Supreme Court. But on Friday, the Biden administration gave up on seeking Supreme Court review-meaning the hard-fought victory for religious liberty now stands as a...

What's Happening in Georgia?

By: Byron York， Washington Examiner
For Republicans, the numbers look ominous. Record-setting totals of Georgians have voted early this week in the Dec. 6 runoff election between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker. The turnout appears to include slightly more likely Warnock voters than at the same time in the general election. And overall, the more early voting there is, in the experience of recent election watchers, the better Democrats perform.

Crypto Is Out of Control. FTX Is Just the Beginning

By: Casey Michel， CNN
As investigators and authorities continue to sort through the fallout of the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, the contours of the implosion are becoming clearer. It will likely take many more months to disentangle the web of corporate greed and financial malfeasance at the heart of FTX's bankruptcy. But we can safely say that the company owes billions of dollars to creditors and, according to sources, at least $1 billion to clients, in what appears to be the greatest crypto collapse to date.

The 'Oscar Movie' Is Dying

By: Jordan Ruimy， World of Reel
Steven Spielberg's "The Fabelmans" has bombed at the box-office. This coming after the filmmaker's "West Side Story" garnered the same fate last year, which begs me to ask the question: if Spielberg can't even bring people to a movie theatre anymore, then who can? I imagine Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino can still pull it off, but these four directors are now part of a dying breed.

Can the Origins of Today's Right Be Traced to the 1990s?

By: John Ganz， The Nation
In 1992, the mood in the United States should have been triumphal. The country appeared on the verge of reigning supreme: The Soviet Union had fallen, and the rusting tyrannies across the Eastern Bloc were turning to democracy. The US military had recently pummeled petty dictators in Panama and Iraq, exorcising the ghosts of Vietnam.

The Zombie Survival of Affirmative Action

By: Charles Lipson， RealClearPolitics
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule against affirmative action programs this term, finding they violate the Constitution because they deliberately discriminate by race. If you think that ruling will stop universities from treating racial groups differently, think again. Admissions officers are already hard at work figuring out ways to evade the forthcoming decision. They are supported by countless "diversity, equity, and inclusion" bureaucrats, nestled across campus. They are on a mission.

McCarthy Can Put GOP in Position To Win in '24

By: Holt οΌ†ampοΌ› Hammond， RealClearPolitics
Now that the GOP has gained a House majority, Kevin McCarthy has a real opportunity to rise to the occasion. Although it wasn't the midterm election result McCarthy wanted, by winning the House of Representatives the Republican Party has a seat at the governing table. The 55th speaker of the House is in a position to set policies and priorities in contrast to Joe Biden, and in the process make the case that a Republican belongs back in the White House in 2024.

Less than six weeks after Xi Jinping doubled down on his Zero Covid strategy, a swelling sea of discontent is finally breaking on its rocks.
