If there’s a lesson to be learned from the collapse of Spirit Airlines, it is that today’s Democratic Party should never be in charge of anything. Does that seem like a stretch? Not when you consider the facts. Four years ago, Spirit and JetBlue started talking about merging operations. Spirit was struggling to stay afloat, thanks in part to the massive run-up in inflation under President Joe Biden. The merger would have been a lifeline to Spirit and would have ensured low-cost competition survived. But Democrats — led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren — decided that they knew better.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was not happy when the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance Kevin Warsh’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve, saying it would amount to a takeover of the Fed by President Donald Trump. No surprise there. For today’s Democrats, everything Trump does is either illegal, a threat to Democracy, or fascistic. But then Warren said that “The Trump economy is in real trouble. Inflation is up, job creation is down. The stink of stagflation is in the air, and President Trump is getting desperate.” Is any of that true?

In a decision that shouldn’t have surprised anyone, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Democrats can no longer create safe electoral fiefdoms based on race to win elections, calling it “racial gerrymandering.” It’s about time. The ruling essentially “neuters,” as some put it, Section 2 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. PJ Media scribe Matt Margolis called the decision “one of the most consequential redistricting decisions in a generation.” That’s not hyperbole. And it was long overdue. While still upholding the landmark Voting Rights Act, a 6-3 conservative majority found that a redrawing of Louisiana’s congressional

For more than three decades, it’s been almost invariably accepted in policymaking circles that fossil fuel use has to be reduced and then eliminated altogether if we are to save the planet. But the second Trump administration has restored reason and logic to the energy and environment debate. Every American who enjoys the life-giving benefits of fossil fuels today should be thankful. Monday’s entertaining exchange between Environmental Protection Agency Director Lee Zeldin and Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut, who seems to have never been hinged to reality, is a bright spot we’ve needed for some time.

Revelations that the leftist Southern Poverty Law Center had been funding “hard right” extremist groups raise an important question beyond whether or not it was defrauding donors. The question is: If right-wing hate is so prevalent in America, why does the left have to fund it? We’re still learning what it is, exactly, that the SPLC has been up to, but what we’ve learned so far is pretty damning. The group — whose “hate map” holds tremendous sway with the press, politicians, and corporate America — was apparently raising money on the promise that it would stamp out hate groups, then use some

Against our better judgment, we decided to read Cole Allen’s “manifesto,” written before he tried to carry out what officials say was his plot to kill President Donald Trump and various other administration officials. When we did, we were surprised at how ordinary it was. Ordinary in the sense that it sounded like just about any Democrat or TDS sufferer you talk to these days. Allen says he’s “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Gee, where have we heard language like this before?

Americans have always dreamt of a national come-together moment when all felt unified in purpose and intent. But, as the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows, unity among America’s many factions and demographics has been elusive since the start of this decade. Each month, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asks Americans across the nation whether they would say the U.S. is “very united,” “somewhat united,” “somewhat divided,” “very divided,” or simply “not sure.” From this, I&I/TIPP creates a national Unity Index, which allows for comparisons over time. What is it saying?

America’s real insurrection is a long-term project of the country’s Democrats. It appears to have hit some snags, however. Maybe, as their carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, we’ll be able to save our republic after all. The power and influence of the Democratic Party over the past two to three decades has been built on appearances. The legacy media, of course, are committed comrades and make it appear as if today’s party of the left is no different than it was in the days of John F. Kennedy. In truth, though, it is far more radical, blatantly anti-American, and outright corrupt.

If you get your news from Apple, Google, Bing, or Yahoo, you are unknowingly being fed a steady diet of left-wing stories. That’s according to research by AllSides, a news aggregator that rates the bias of news sites. Yet, these Big Tech sites continue to insist that they are ideologically neutral. The AllSides audit found that nearly three-quarters of the links on Google News were to left-leaning news sites. Just 1% took readers to a right-leaning news source. Google has gotten worse since AllSides started auditing aggregator sites in 2022, when the share of left-leaning stories on Google News was 61%. At Apple News,

California Gov. Gavin Newsom must be kicking himself after what Democrats just managed to pull off in Virginia. Not too long ago, Newsom was bragging about a referendum that “suspended” a constitutional amendment so Democrats could gerrymander five Republican districts out of existence. But that still leaves four California seats that will likely be occupied by Republicans after the midterms. And this is in a state that hasn’t seen a Republican governor in 15 years, a Republican senator in 34 years, where Democrats have a supermajority in the legislature, and a state that Kamala Harris won by

The world will celebrate Earth Day on Wednesday. It will be, as it always has been, a festival of nonsense that has more downside than it does benefits. The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, the 100th birthday of communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin. Probably just a coincidence, but “given that most of the modern environmentalist movement grew out of the far left student movement of the 1960s,” it is, as a Competitive Enterprise Institute scholar once said, “all too fitting.” “Most environmental economists of the time believed that only socialist countries would ably protect the environment, because

The only thing more surprising about the Education Department’s proposed rule on college loans is that it took this long for common sense to prevail over the interests of Big College. On Friday, the department issued a “notice of proposed rulemaking” that would, if implemented, block taxpayer-subsidized student loans for worthless degrees. To say that this is needed is a vast understatement. As it stands, there is nearly $1.7 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, and “fewer than 40% of borrowers are in repayment, and nearly 25% of borrowers are in default,” notes The Federalist’s Breccan F. Thies.
