That wisdom, unsurprisingly, is that the party should pick more candidates like Hillary Clinton. This was bolstered a few days later when two longtime party wonks wrote an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal saying that Clinton is “in an advantageous … Continue reading Democrats are falling into the “inevitable candidate” trap again

Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2024, which is dumb and also important

Yesterday, America pondered what it has learned in the year since pro-Trump rioters tried to overthrow the federal government.

The U.K. Parliament’s Long Love Affair with Cocaine

“People having a line of cocaine might not think they’re causing anyone harm, or that they’re playing a part in a criminal enterprise,” Sajid Javid, Britain’s Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, wrote in The Guardian Monday, “but they are actually the final link in a chain that has suffering, violence and exploitation at every stage.” Such strong language from Javid, a key … Continue reading The U.K. Parliament’s Long Love Affair with Cocaine

Are Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg really rivals?

Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg is the youngest member of the Biden administration. He’ll be forty next January, younger than any man to ascend to the presidency so far.

Buttigieg probably had no illusions that he would be the … Continue reading Are Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg really rivals?

Here are six of the likeliest candidates as of November 2021.

This Goofy Thing Could Help Fight Climate Change

“So Much For The Cars Under $20,000,” lamented Jalopnik on November 1. The everyman motoring enthusiast site noted that in the mid-2000s, small cars were popular as high gas prices ravaged consumer pockets. “I remember a colleague back then buying a Hummer and other colleagues saying how against the prevailing winds that purchase was. Shortly thereafter, Hummer died. Of course, nowadays, Hummer is back and … Continue reading This Goofy Thing Could Help Fight Climate Change

The New Republic called … Continue reading “I don’t understand why the academics are leaving me,” cries University of Academics Are Evil
