Editor's Note Totalitarian regimes seek to invert reality. Up is down; left is right; evil is good. Though our current regime hasn’t quite arrived at that point, it is moving our nation toward a place where it’s acceptable to question whether 2 + 2 = 4. Roger Kimball returns to argue that the rule of the day for the contemporary Left is euphemism, distraction, and circumlocution: a subtle skepticism of reality that anticipates an outright rejection.

Editor's Note How Destructive Kamala Harris has achieved such proximity to the Oval Office is beyond comprehension. But the fact remains that the Democrats have put her forward, as it were, as their nominee. Thankfully, voters can survey the land by looking at her record as vice president. The results, as Peachy Keenan describes, are not pretty.

Editor's Note A nation whose inhabitants speak different languages sets itself up for real problems. The Left used to claim that President Trump was a threat to the Constitution. Now, they say the Constitution itself is the problem. Our language barrier is growing from our towns and cities wracked by mass migration to our halls of government overwhelmed by an anti-republican administrative state. Roger Kimball returns to explain the real threat to our republic.

Editor's Note The day before Thomas Matthew Crooks sprayed gunfire at President Trump, the Federal Bureau of Investigations arrested Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national who was admitted into the U.S. via parole for “significant public benefit.” The Dallas office of the FBI sponsored Merchant’s parole for the purposes of “security interests.” The mainstream media has framed this arrest as an Iranian plot gone awry.

The Democrats don’t want Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the ballot. In early March, the Kennedy campaign announced that volunteers had collected over 15,000 signatures for the candidate’s name to appear in the voting booths of the swing state of Nevada. Later that month, Cisco Aguilar, the state’s Democratic secretary of state, threw cold water on the campaign’s excitement by rejecting the campaign’s signatures for having failed to include a running mate on the candidacy petition.

The Libertarian Party does not run on flattery. The party’s remnant establishment gathered for its national convention at the Washington Hilton on Memorial Day weekend and introduced the mostly foreign-born hotel staff in the underground, sci-fi-themed banquet hall to their resigned sarcasm and attitude of indifference toward success as America’s largest gadfly political party.

Americosis: A Nation’s Dysfunction Observed from Public Transit by Sam Forster (2024, Sutherland House), 129 pages. Public transit has always asked its patrons to assume undefined risks. In exchange for a few dollars, the transit authority offers that you can get from the general area of your origin to the general area of your destination along with others who have the same goal. There’s the rub. Marketing materials for public transit rarely feature their patrons, and for good reason.

With VP Pick, RFK Jr. Is Gunning for the Democrats
Nicole Shanahan appeals to the disaffected, West Coast–style leftist voters who feel lost in the Democratic Party.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate for the presidency, announced Tuesday that he had selected Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. Kennedy introduced the 38-year-old, who has no political experience, at an event in Oakland, California, her native city.

Nobody really knows what consultants do. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, in his capacity as chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), asked a group of four consulting executives about their work last Tuesday. Their response did little to dispel the mystery: emails with redacted copy, calendar invites with redacted participant names, and the rest. They did not fall silent because of some pact of trade secrecy; a Saudi court had asked them to.

RFK for VP?
Why a transpartisan ticket could still happen, although it looked likelier six months ago.
Running mate announcements usually come around July or August. During this interlude between the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, rumors are flurrying that presumptive nominee Donald Trump will choose former contenders Vivek Ramaswamy or the recently engaged Tim Scott.
