SELLERS: The Queen (of Country Music) Is Dead

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) While the death of Queen Elizabeth II sent ripples through the world, another queen---one from much quainter beginnings---passed away Tuesday,  leaving just as big a gap for fans of country music. Loretta Lynn, 90, died peacefully at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennesee, her family announced. Not...

MURDOCK: Lawlessness in Blue-Run Cities More Disturbing than Suburban

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Democrats promised that defunding the police would yield utopia. Rep. Alexandra Ocasio--Cortez, D-N.Y., predicted that America would look “like a suburb.” https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1282364884211109888 AOC did not mention that this posh village would include hoodlums breaking into mansions, residents getting robbed beside white-picket fences, and neighbors seeing BMWs carjacked at...

MURDOCK: Biden More and More Reminiscent of Former German Dictator

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) “He’s so nice!” A key reason that Joe Biden occupies the White House is that too many voters considered him a nice guy. “It would be fun to have a beer with Grandpa Lunchbucket!”---or so the thinking went. Whatever his ideas, Biden would be so much warmer than...

SELLERS: Can Capitalism Explain Why Left Is Now Bereft of Common Sense?

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) While The Simpsons most often gets credit for predicting the future, no film seems as prescient in a broader overall sense as Mike Judge's 2006 satirical comedy Idiocracy. The cult classic from the creator of Beavis and Butthead revolves around a contemporary slacker put into a...

MURDOCK: Queen Elizabeth Was a Rare Breed in the Annals of World History

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Queen Elizabeth II lies in state today in London’s Westminster Hall, just steps from the House of Commons. That’s where prime ministers numerous enough to count on three hands led Conservative and Labour governments in Her Majesty’s name. After passing away with little fuss last week...

SELLERS: Can 9/11 Help Reorient a Society That Has Lost Moral Bearings?

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) What does it mean when we tell ourselves that the more things change, the more they remain the same? Certainly, the one true constant in life is the impermanence of everything in it---a lesson that comes only with the wisdom of experiencing loss and transition. To what...

MURDOCK: Truth Looms Large Behind Amnesiac Dems’ Projection

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Strategic amnesia is a new syndrome that lets Democrats forget their guilt of the same behavior for which they demonize Republicans---especially when the GOP is innocent as charged. This is psychological projection plus time. Strategic-Amnesiac-in-Chief Joe Biden embodied this neurosis during the Snarl Heard ‘Round the...

SELLERS: Left’s Performative Politics Is Modern-Day Minstrelry

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) One of the most unsettling aspects of the modern-day Left is its willingness to tell and to accept obvious lies, committing to them so fervently that the truth begins to fade like the family photograph in Back to the Future. It's enough to make one wonder...

SELLERS: The Senate Races Most at Play in 2022 May Not Be the Ones You Think

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) America's biennial festival of gaslighting---also known as campaign season---has officially kicked into high gear with the arrival of Labor Day and an alarmingly demagogic hate speech from President Joe Biden. https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1565671302916079617 It's not the run-of-the-mill fakery that one might expect from Karine Jean-Pierre and the talking heads...

MURDOCK: Biden’s Big Global Warming Plan Is a Storybook, Man

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Once upon a time, the intercom buzzed in the Oval Office. “Mark P. Mills is here, sir” said America’s most powerful secretary. “He’s a senior fellow with the Manhattan Institute.” Mills stepped into the Oval and approached the Resolute Desk. “Good morning, sir.” The president of the United States...

SELLERS: Zuckerberg’s FBI ‘Gaffe’ Reveals How the Left Operates

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) I love as much as anyone to see two deeply corrupt institutions---the FBI and Facebook---squirm over something that Joe Rogan helped achieve. Such was the case following Big Tech oligarch Mark Zuckerberg's apparent admission on Thursday that the FBI knowingly pushed disinformation onto the social media...

MURDOCK: Dems’ Unanimous IRS Weaponization Act a Gift to GOP Candidates

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Congressional Democrats have handed Republicans two giant gifts. The deviously dubbed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and a worthy-but-failed amendment to it, supply the GOP a pair of tailor-made issues to hurl at tax-loving, tax-hiking, tax-collecting Democrats. Republican nominees should deploy them at once. First, IRA gives the...
