December Is No Time to Ignore Congress
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
Congress's lame-duck session is an ideal time for both parties to pass last-minute legislation while voters are busy Christmas shopping and before members who lost their reelection bids surrender their seats in January. Especially this year, real danger lurks in such legislation. Above all, there's the threat that Congress turns the expanded child tax credit into a new and very costly permanent entitlement. But other threats loom. I'll look at a few of them today.
Will This Year's Lame-Duck Session Bring Back a Bad Idea?
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
Democrats have lost the House of Representatives and, along with it, the chance to pass more of their preferred policies in 2023. This makes the "lame duck" period before the January arrival of the new Congress their last opportunity to fully control Capitol Hill for a while. It's also a chance for outgoing legislators from either party to pretty much do as they please. My fear is that the outgoing majority will, with the help of some misguided Republicans, push for a disastrous expansion of the child tax credit.
Still Against the 'Dead Consensus'

- By Josh Hammer
In the aftermath of the Republican Party's recent midterm elections debacle, right-liberal sharks are circling. These devoted acolytes of what a prominent 2019 First Things manifesto called the American Right's "dead consensus" think they see blood in the water. Indeed, the "dead consensus" praetorian guard has apparently decided that now is the time for a counterattack against the more nationalist- and populist-inclined forces of what has, broadly, been dubbed the "New Right." A recent anti-national conservatism fusillade from The Federalist's David Harsanyi is reflective of the broader subgenre.
The GOP's Hunter Biden Probe Is Legit
- Details
- By David Harsanyi
As a tactical concern, the House GOP's decision to open an investigation into Biden family corruption is questionable. It promises limited political return. It would serve Republicans, and the country, far better if the House focused on a hyper-politicized Justice Department that targets the political opposition, labels concerned parents "domestic terrorists" and ignores violence aimed at pregnancy centers, for starters.
Traumatic Executions vs. Therapeutic Abortions
- Details
- By Tim Graham
When National Public Radio appeals for donations, it explains its mission is "to create a more informed public -- one challenged and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas and cultures."
That's fancy talk for one-sided propaganda. NPR listeners aren't "challenged and invigorated" by two sides of a controversial issue. They're pushed to a "deeper understanding" of how conservatives are dead wrong ... subsidized by taxpayers.
After 2022 Setback, GOP Race for 2024 Is Wide Open
- Details
- By Josh Hammer
The 2022 midterm elections were, by any objective measure, tremendously disappointing for Republicans. As has already been discussed ad nauseam, the "red wave" that so many -- yours truly included -- had predicted simply did not materialize. The reasons for that are numerous; no one individual, one institution or one specific systemic failure is to blame. There is, in short, a lot of blame to go around here. Because while Republicans actually (SET ITAL) won (END ITAL) the national popular vote by roughly four points, there is no way to describe their historically awful first-presidential-term opposition-party midterm performance, in which the GOP lost almost every high-profile state-level "swing" race, as anything other than disastrous.
