With the End in Sight, Congress Finally Figures Out COVID Relief
Vaccines are shipping out, frontline workers are getting stuck in the arm, and the unemployment rate has fallen by about half since its April peak -- to around 7 percent, roughly where it was at the end of 2013.
Naturally, Congress is only just getting around to hammering out another economic-relief ...

Betsy DeVos Speaks Out on Four Years of ‘Truly Disheartening’ Attacks
Next month, Betsy DeVos will close out her run as the nation’s eleventh secretary of education. DeVos’s tenure has been unprecedented in many ways, from her outsider status to her contentious confirmation to the devastating pandemic that upended American education over the last year.

Missing Hitchens
After falling into an Internet rabbit hole this week, I learned by happenstance that it was the anniversary of the 2011 death of Christopher Hitchens. I was sort of surprised that he passed away almost a decade ago. Though it also reminded me how much our political discourse has changed.

The Contradictions and Conceptual Errors of Jill Biden’s Garbage Dissertation
By Kyle Smith
Jill Biden’s embarrassing 2006 dissertation, which I mocked here and extensively quoted here, is essentially a weakly argued 20,000-word op-ed that offers zero hard evidence for her policy proposals, which are that Delaware Tech (her employer at the time) should beef up its Wellness Center, add a student ...
