The Funniest Media Story of the Year?

Surely this is the funniest media story of the year?

Trade Cheaters Are Killing Aluminum Industry Jobs

Aluminum industry workers stand ready to do their part to move the nation forward. They just need the federal government to enforce trade laws.

The Twilight of the Republican 'McLeadership'

The Trump team is steadily purging the Republican leadership of holdovers from past decades. The departure of McCarthy, McDaniel, and McConnell is part of exorcising the legacy of a more important Mc whose influence is still felt in the U.S. Senate: John McCain.

Hard Times for the Professional Never Trump Losers

These are hard times for the professional Never Trumpers. Donald Trump is winning this election, they're not getting the attention they used to, and inflation has made pool boy rates simply outrageous. Those poll numbers showing Trump leading across the country have to be understood as a total repudiation of these jerks, because they are. There are a lot of reasons to want to see Trump win, but in the Top Five is seeing these goofs cry.

Things Are Great, But They're Miserable, Too

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." In rereading the opening lines of Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities," I had the sense they were written last week, not almost two centuries ago.

What NBC's Firing of McDaniel Means

Wednesday on the RealClearPolitics radio show (Monday through Friday at 6:00 p.m. EDT on SiriusXM's P.O.T.U.S. Channel 124), Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon talk about Ronna McDaniel being fired at NBC and Trump's Truth Social platform going public. They also discuss RFK Jr.'s new running mate, Nicole Shanahan, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's handling of the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore.

Trump Is Not the Victim of ‘Lawfare.' He's a Crook.

One of the reasons Republicans were so reluctant to accept Donald Trump's nomination in 2016 is that he was quite obviously a crook.

Why I'm Resigning From the Biden State Department

Since Hamas' attack on October 7, Israel has used American bombs in its war in Gaza, which has killed more than 32,000 people - 13,000 of them children - with countless others buried under the rubble, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. Israel is credibly accused of starving the 2 million people who remain, according to the UN special rapporteur on the right to food; a group of charity leaders warns that without adequate aid, hundreds of thousands more will soon likely join the dead.

Gaza: Truths Behind All the Lies

From civilian casualties, the use of disproportionate force, and international biases, the mainstream narrative of the Gaza conflict often obfuscates the truth behind lies.

Progressives Have Damaged Public Faith in Our Legal System

The progressive lawfare campaign against conservatives is perhaps the most effective of the many leftist political attacks. There remains little doubt that America's justice system has been so corrupted that it is being unleashed as the main component of what Victor David Hanson has appropriately called the American "Jacobin Revolution."

Obama, Fearing Biden Loss to Trump, Is On Phone To Strategize

As the election approaches, President Joe Biden is making regular calls to former President Barack Obama to catch up on the race or to talk about family.

SCOTUS Must Rely on 1st Amendment Censorship Case

The justices of the Supreme Court never focused on the First Amendment's words when hearing arguments in Murthy v. Missouri last week. The case challenges the federal government's orchestration of social media censorship, so one might have expected the justices to pay some attention to the First Amendment itself.

Kennedy's Strategic Choice for Vice President

The selection by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of attorney Nicole Shanahan as his running mate is sure to create more attacks on his campaign by Democrats. Prior to choosing Shanahan, an ardently pro-choice former Democrat, the Kennedy campaign seemed to be drawing support equally across the political spectrum. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who were open to an alternative to Biden but skeptical of Kennedy's prior positions on reproductive rights might give the independent campaign a second look with Shanahan on the ticket. That could tip the mix of Kennedy supporters in a way that's...
