Carol Platt Liebau: Canada's Death Culture Gains Momentum 1:00

8h ago1:00

1:00

Canada has embraced “medical assistance in dying”—or “MAID”—with unseemly enthusiasm. It was legalized in 2016 only for very sick people already at the end of life. It was then extended to those with serious medical conditions. Now, in just two years, it will be available for people just with mental illness. Certainly, no decent person wants termin…

Jerry Bowyer: A Vibe Shift in Corporate America 1:00

1d ago1:00

1:00

Since President Trump’s victory corporate America’s had a vibe shift—and it’s long overdue. DEI quotas: getting rolled back. Debanking: facing real pushback.

3d ago1:00

A new poll from Gallup found the percentage of Americans who drink alcohol has fallen to its lowest level in history. On the other hand: drug use is at an all-time high and young adults use marijuana more regularly than alcohol, while our youth use it at the same rate (which, before legalization, was never the case). This is the result of years-lon…

Seth Liebsohn: Holiday from History 1:00

8d ago1:00

1:00

Charles Krauthammer identified the 1990s as a “Holiday from History”—where the civilized part of humanity ignored the barbarizing part, namely the rising tide of Islamist terrorism. That holiday ended on September 11, 2001. It is tempting to turn away from that same Islamist terrorism, or pretend it is not our business. But, meantime, tens and tens…

Almost everyone has seen the American Eagle jeans ad starring Hollywood starlet Sydney Sweeney. Many on the left have claimed the ad’s play on the word “jeans” was a eugenics dog whistle because Sweeney is white, blonde, and blue-eyed. They insisted that opposing the ad was taking a stand against modern day Nazism. It's nonsense. Those complaining …

CNN’s foremost data analyst Harry Enten recently declared Donald Trump the most influential president of this century.

The president’s mad at Fed chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates fast enough. But here’s a better idea: Don’t fire the chairman. Fire the Fed. Why should a handful of unelected economists decide the price of money for 330 million people? That’s not a free market. That’s central planning with a necktie. Let the market set interest rates…
