The Architect of the Latest Kavanaugh Smear Just Gave a Self-Damning Radio Interview
There is no substantiated evidence of any sexual misbehavior by Brett Kavanaugh at any point in his entire life. Several shaky claims have been made along these lines, but all of them are badly undercut by available evidence. None of them is more likely than not to be true.
Yet in a casual radio interview this ...

Kavanaugh Book Charges Him with Being a ‘Known Bro’
The campaign against Brett Kavanaugh can be summarized in one word. He is or was a bro. A bro is a highly masculine, at times loutish jock, very possibly a privately educated one.

Trump Is Right to Ditch the California Auto Waiver
The Trump administration is pushing ahead with a plan we endorsed previously. It will revoke California's ability to set separate greenhouse-gas standards for cars — so that a single policy will apply to the entire country, and so that California can't use the threat of a bifurcated regulatory regime to ...

Peanut Butter Falcon: A Film with a Conservative Soul Teaches Three Great Truths of Manhood
This weekend, I watched one of the most deeply conservative movies I’ve seen in a very long time.
