    Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban: The Divorce Heartbreak Tour We Never Wanted

Their separation announcement hit like a meteor strike: stunning beauty in motion frozen mid-dance, two icons unraveling in public while fans…

    Degrees of Separation: Michelle’s Princeton-Harvard Reality vs. Melania’s Slovenian Fairy Tale

    America has always been a nation obsessed with résumés, transcripts, and whether or not you really sat through Econ 101 without crying into a vending machine Pop-Tart. But somehow, in our supposedly merit-based society, the woman who actually clawed her way through Princeton University and Harvard Law School—graduating with honors while juggling race, class, and…

    Disney’s Kimmel Imbroglio: Shareholders Su for Truth While Politics Invade the Boardroom

    There are many ways for an entertainment empire to humiliate itself. Some settle for the small stuff: a blockbuster flop, a malfunctioning roller coaster, a streaming password crackdown that feels like a mugging. But every so often, a corporation aims higher—producing an operatic self-own so baroque it deserves its own tragic score. Thus we arrive…

  • DOJ vs. Soros: The Loyalty Test Disguised as Law

    DOJ vs. Soros: The Loyalty Test Disguised as Law

    It begins, as these things always do, with a memo. Not a law passed by Congress, not a court case argued in daylight, but a crisp, bureaucratic directive—parchment as performance art. On September 25, 2025, a senior official in Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s office, Aakash Singh, quietly sent word to at least seven U.S.…

    Watergate’s Dismal Sequel: Indicting Comey in Broad Daylight

    There was a time when “indicting a former FBI Director” would have been the kind of storyline you read in paperback thrillers at the airport newsstand, usually involving shadowy double agents, a safe house in Prague, and a protagonist who knows too much. Now it’s just Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia. A federal grand jury has…

    Civility, Insults, and Content Wars: When the Vice President Flips the Script

    It has become a perverse form of theater: a live criminal investigation, narrated in real time not by detectives but by hyperpartisan officials competing for the opening line of the news cycle. The vice president demands “civility”—then unleashes profanity. The White House leaps to blame before forensics dust a print. A former Obama speechwriter counters…

  • The New Perjury Standard: A Partisan Scalpel For Comey

    The New Perjury Standard: A Partisan Scalpel For Comey

    Somewhere between the solemnity of congressional hearings and the cheap thrill of cable news lies a phrase so heavy it used to rattle marble columns: lying to Congress. It once suggested disgrace, a scarlet letter on a public servant’s record. Now it is being hauled out as a courtroom cudgel, with prosecutors preparing to indict…

    Apple Blinks at the Screen: When a $3 Trillion Company Gets Spooked by a TV Show

    Apple has spent the last decade branding itself as the patron saint of courage.Courage to remove the headphone jack. Courage to sell you the same laptop three years running with one extra port.

    The Sniper, the Spin, and the Smell Test in Dallas

    The truth is that political violence is always a tragedy. That should not need disclaiming, but in our era of algorithmic outrage, you practically have to lead with a notarized certificate of sincerity before you dare analyze an event. So let’s start there: what happened at the Dallas ICE field office was horrific. One detainee…

    United We Scroll: 100 Things We All Secretly Agree On That Democrats Actually Campaign On While Republicans Pretend Don’t Exist

    Every morning, cable news assures us that America is a house divided, a republic hanging by a thread, two tribes locked in a forever war where a neighbor’s yard sign is the moral equivalent of Pearl Harbor. Turn on Fox News and you’ll learn Democrats are Satan’s personal interns. Flip over to MSNBC and Republicans…
