Before Jack Smith became the main attack dog against Donald Trump, and long before congressional investigation uncovered his massive campaign against hundreds of Republican leaders and organizations, there was evidence of his prosecutorial misconduct — and Lindsey Graham reportedly looked the other way. Former Rep. Rick Renzi (R-Ariz.) was convicted on bribery and extortion charges, to which he pleaded “not guilty,” and was later given a full presidential pardon by President Donald Trump. A 2019 complaint and request for investigation filed on Renzi’s behalf by respected legal firm Mayer Brown provided evidence of prosecutorial misconduct by Jack Smith and David Harbach

The academic and civic life of James Stevens Curl presents a singular case in twentieth- and twenty-first-century architectural historiography: a scholar who combined rigorous research, pedagogic dedication, cultural activism, and a steadfast defense of beauty in the built environment. Born on 26 March 1937 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Curl’s career would span architecture, town-planning, heritage scholarship and cultural critique, culminating in works that not only set out descriptive histories of architecture but also advanced normative claims about the value of tradition, proportion, and visual harmony.

The recent news cycle has showcased stunning examples of leftists earning near-constant ridicule as their fabrications blow up in their faces. The Left's moral posturing crumbles under even cursory scrutiny and reveals a consistent pattern of hypocrisy, fabrication, and embrace of extremism. References to pots and kettles, glass houses, specks, beams, rakes, and petards are all getting a workout, and it's glorious to behold. Conservatives are basking in schadenfreude, needing only videos of Democrats performing perp walks to make our joy complete.

While campaigning in Derry, New Hampshire in 2019, Joe Biden suggested that coal miners simply learn to code to transition to “jobs of the future.” Joe said, “Anybody who can go down 300 to 3,000 feet in a mine, sure in hell can learn to program as well.” He made that remark almost five years ago. Little did he know he was flirting with the future, sending a warning about the characteristics of future jobs. Naomi Mitchison published a book in 1935 entitled We Have Been Warned. That title expresses Joe’s sentiment perfectly. Although Joe didn’t specifically cite Mitchison, he nevertheless sent a warning

President Trump took to Truth Social Sunday night with a post that has ignited fresh speculation about his administration’s findings regarding the 2020 presidential election. “What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections,” he asked. “The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our ‘President!’ We now know everything,” Think about that last line: “We now know everything.” The line has fueled speculation that the Trump administration may have uncovered what it considers conclusive evidence tying together multiple irregularities in the 2020 election.

Florida Attorney Peter Ticktin has known Donald Trump personally since grade 10 of their high school days in 1961, when both attended New York Military Academy. Ticktin has publicly described Trump as a classmate and friend from that period (snip) Ticktin has actively pursued litigation and public advocacy alleging election fraud in the 2020 election. As an attorney, he represents numerous clients seeking federal pardons and many J6 defendants, whom he prefers to call patriots. (snip) I had this conversation this week with Ticktin regarding his concerns about the Department of Justice and Todd Blanche’s role in running the DOJ and what it means for Trump’s second-term agenda..

Bari Weiss seems to have confused some of the folks at CBS News after being hired as its new editor in chief. The New York Times reported that Weiss stunned members of senior staff of the show “60 Minutes,” by asking a simple question: “Why does the country think you’re biased?” The inquiry was met with stunned awkwardness, according to three people who recounted details from the private session in Midtown Manhattan. The staff of “60 Minutes,” the nation’s most-watched news program, view their coverage as firmly nonpartisan and reject criticism from President Trump and his allies who argue that it has a liberal slant.

As you've heard, there is a governor's race in Virginia. It looked like an easy victory for the Democrats a few weeks ago, and then some texts surfaced and things changed. It's a lot more competitive, and the Democrats are sending former President Obama to the rescue: Former President Barack Obama is endorsing Democratic former Rep. Abigail Spanberger in the Virginia governor's race and starring in two new digital ads for her campaign. "Virginia's elections are some of the most important in the country this year," Obama says in both ads, shared first with NBC News, which focus on the economy and abortion rights.

Former Secretary of Education, Senator and university president, Lamar Alexander, declared in the Wall Street Journal that “Donald Trump Isn’t a University President.” The old-school political insider and prior university administrator, goes on to criticize President Trump’s “Compact for Higher Education,” which would establish a national board of trustees for the 6,000 universities and colleges across the United States. Mr. Alexander tells readers that this will have the apparently distasteful consequence of establishing admissions guidelines, managing university costs, creating testing standards for faculty competence and hiring, and setting criteria for international student admissions. He asserts that this is an example of federal overreach.

Barack Obama really should follow the lead of old-time presidents and, instead of seeking the limelight, opt for a rocking chair on his front porch. In that way, he could spare himself the embarrassment of saying really stupid things. During a podcast with Marc Maron, Obama made a comment about using the National Guard that was meant to attack Trump, but merely made Obama look ignorant and partisan. Before even getting to the substance of what Obama said, what’s notable about the interview is how Obama looks. He’s wound up as tightly as an angry suburban leftist woman explaining to her psychiatrist why her husband was completely wrong

Like the fictional Captain Ahab in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, New York Attorney General Letitia James had one overriding goal: to destroy the great white creature known as President Donald Trump. And like Ahab, she thought at one point she had succeeded. But if James had been better read, she might have known that she was going to destroy herself and her ship, while “Moby” Trump happily swam off into the sunset. Letitia James ran to become New York State’s attorney general on a single issue: she would destroy Donald Trump.

Color me shocked. After more than a decade of breathless cheerleading for the so-called Affordable Care Act, the editorial elites at The Washington Post have finally admitted what conservatives have been saying all along: Obamacare was never affordable. As the Post’s own editorial board now concedes, the law “was never actually affordable.” This sudden burst of honesty comes amid the latest government shutdown showdown, which Democrats sparked in part by demanding yet another blank check to keep Biden’s lavish, COVID-era insurance subsidies alive.
