(Bruce Abramson, RealClear Wire) ESG, an acronym for Environmental, Social and Governance, is everywhere. If you work for, advise, invest in, regulate, study, or otherwise care about one or more corporations, you’ve likely encountered the term. Consultancies, banks, investment funds, managers, governments, and international organizations trip over themselves touting their...
(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Led by Quadrillion-Dollar Man Joe Biden---about whom more later---today’s Democrat Party has decayed into a collection of psychoses fortified by police power, perpetual-motion monetary printing presses and easy access to atomic weapons.
What could go wrong?
Damn near everything.
Democrats spent much of the last generation attempting to...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) I was struck recently by a tweet from noted conservative blogger and American Mind essayist Peachy Keenan, in which she offered a personal anecdote that revealed just how far over the top the college admissions have gone while embracing woke orthodoxy.
The tweet about a friend's...
(Glen Hodgson & Brooke Medina, RealClear Wire) In J.K. Rowling’s novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Professor Albus Dumbledore opines that humans have a knack for choosing precisely those things that are bad for them. The same could be said for United States and European Union leaders’ affection for...
(Karoline Leavitt, Headline USA contributor) Recently, there has been increased concern about the influence of foreign governments, particularly the Chinese Communist Party controlled Beijing regime, on American politicians.
Let’s set the record straight: CCP never represents Chinese people.
Reports have emerged of alleged bribes and "honey pots" being used by the...
(Antonette Bowman, RealClear Wire) The House Education and Workforce Committee convened a hearing last week entitled “American Education in Crisis.” The perennial left–right debate between promoting parents’ rights and protecting public schools was on full display.
Committee Chair Virginia Foxx, a Republican from North Carolina, used her opening statement to argue for extending “education freedom”...
(Eric Felten, RealClear Wire) It’s an open question whether the Iowa Democrats’ abysmal job of counting votes in recent caucuses has cost the state the honor of going first in the presidential nominating process, but Sen. Tim Scott was scheduled to kick off a “listening tour” at Drake University in...
(William Haupt III, The Center Square) "Most reporters in the galley are handpicked by the president and won't put you on the spot. If you don’t know the answer, tell them so. Don't make a fool of yourself making excuses. ” – Jen Psaki
During the early years of our government,...
(John Tamny, RealClear Wire) If you’re ever searching for the personification of sanctimonious, find yourself a “balanced budget” proponent. These individuals will tell you in haughty, eyes-periodically-closed fashion about the crisis that awaits us unless we allegedly “get deficits under control.” Balanced budget proponents are morally superior to all of...
(Matthew Palumbo, Headline USA contributor) From day one, acting New York Supreme Court Justice Barry Ostrager---the Democrat handling the case between Miles Guo and Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund (PAX)---was a gift to the Chinese Communist Party.
The timing of the lawsuit couldn’t have been any more suspect, coming just...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) The number of cataclysmic events being swept under the rug by the Biden administration and other global authorities appears to have skyrocketed of late.
Arguably, global disasters like the COVID pandemic and the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines (more on that later), may be lumped...
(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) If you consider San Francisco mighty generous for proposing to pay black residents $5 million each in slavery reparations, then you are a cold-hearted, skin-flinted cheapskate.
