August 19, 2021Redistricting in America, Part Five: The Interior West/Heartland By Kyle Kondik and J. Miles Coleman
And a look at the overall political environment.
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— For all of the focus on redistricting, the overall political environment matters for House elections too, and President Biden has shown some signs of weakness in recent weeks.
— As we continue our redistricting series, we analyze several small-to-medium-sized states in the Interior West and Heartland.
— One of the overall things to watch in the region is the degree to which Republicans are aggressive in redistricting, even in a state — Iowa — known for a nonpartisan system.

YouTube just froze Sen. Rand Paul's YouTube channel.
August 17, 2021Taxpayers Are Getting Ripped Off and Congress Does Nothing by Stephen Moore
Milton Friedman used to quip that, in Washington, if a government program is working, Congress says we need to spend more money on it. And if a government program is failing, Congress concludes we are not spending enough money on it.
August 17, 2021US Embraces a Diversity China Fears By Patrick J. Buchanan
The first returns from the delayed census of 2020 are in, and they have made for celebratory headlines in the mainstream media.

                            August 16, 2021Mask For Thee, But Not For Me by Brian C. Joondeph
If the last year and a half of COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that hypocrisy is rife within government, media, entertainment, and the medical establishment. Those who, by virtue of their expertise or position, are considered knowledgeable, or even experts, are unable to follow their own recommendations or mandates.
August 13, 2021California Liberals Flunking First Test of Government by Michael Barone
Will Gov. Gavin Newsom be the second Democratic California governor to be recalled and removed from office in this (or the last) century? Polls suggest that's one possible result of next month's recall election.

August 12, 2021Redistricting in America, Part Four: The West Coast and Southwest By Kyle Kondik and J. Miles Coleman
What will commissions (and Democrats) draw out West?
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— Independent redistricting commissions are most common out West.
— Democrats currently dominate the House delegations from the West Coast and Southwest, and that is likely to continue.
— However, Republicans may be able to make up a little ground, thanks in part to California losing a seat and Oregon gaining one.
— Democrats can gerrymander Nevada and New Mexico, but it will be difficult for them to squeeze an additional seat out of these small states.

August 6, 2021The Manhattan Project's 'Martians' Didn't Look Like America by Michael Barone
The Manhattan Project didn't look like America. Undertaken today, it would be criticized for failing to meet diversity and inclusion guidelines.
Today's human resources department professionals would be triggered if they looked at the list of physicists hired to produce what President Franklin Roosevelt was told could be a uranium-based bomb "with a destructiveness vastly greater than anything now known." They would be astounded that the president, in his haste to develop such a weapon, as he put it, "before Hitler got it," authorized the hiring of scientists without any attempt to match the diversity of the American population.
August 6, 2021A Tonkin Gulf Incident in the Gulf of Oman? By Patrick J. Buchanan

August 5, 2021Redistricting in America, Part Three: The Republicans’ Southern Prizes By Kyle Kondik and J. Miles Coleman
The GOP gerrymandering possibilities in FL, GA, NC, and TX
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— Democrats tried but failed to get a seat at the redistricting table in four large Southern states in the 2018 and 2020 cycles: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas.
— The consequences for redistricting are vitally important. It’s easy to imagine Republicans squeezing a half-dozen extra seats out of just these four states in 2022, and that may be just a floor on their potential gains.
— However, Republicans could also overreach, and court battles appear likely in all of these states.

"Why do I have to compete against a male body?" complains mountain bike racer Leia Schneeberger in my new video.
August 3, 2021American Tech Sector Keeps Blowing Away the Rest of the World by Stephen Moore
Take a bow, America. It's official and irrefutable: The U.S. is blowing out the rest of the world in tech leadership. No other country in the world comes anywhere close in tech innovation and the dominance of our made-in-America 21st-century companies.
August 3, 2021America's 'Great Leap Forward' Into Socialism By Patrick J. Buchanan
Just seven weeks into his presidency, Joe Biden signed a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill. Among the largest spending bills in history, it was passed without the vote of a single Republican.

July 29, 2021Redistricting in America, Part Two: The Dark Red Greater South By Kyle Kondik and J. Miles Coleman
The Outlook in AL, AR, KY, LA, MS, OK, SC, TN, & WV
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— Republicans dominate redistricting in a number of small-to-medium-sized states in the Deep South and Greater Appalachia.
— The GOP also already holds the lion’s share of seats in these states, but they may be able to squeeze a bit more out of them.
— Democrats are hoping the courts could help them salvage an extra seat or two out of these states, while Republicans may aggressively target, most notably, Rep. Jim Cooper (D, TN-5) in Nashville.
