It's indefensible that the legacy media are not covering Trump's mental deterioration as the major story that it is.

OK, this Tucker Carlson impression on Saturday Night Live last night is uncanny! Has all the verbal tics and go-to phrases down, and nails the high-pitch cackle.

Very on-brand for Gingrich to seek out a new, younger canal the moment the current canal starts having health problems

WaPo Deputy Opinion Editor is just straight up lying about Mamdani's estate tax proposal (in both tweets and an op-ed).

The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million.

Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris had said that as president, they would make decisions about war based on their *feelings*?

Can you even fucking imagine?

This country's rancid misogyny problem has all sorts of predictably horrific outcomes for us all.

Bruce Arthur: Why Don Cherry doesn’t belong in the Order of Canada, no matter what conservatives say If you remember all of Cherry, you remember how he divided more and more of the country as it changed and he didn’t.

Conservatives think Don Cherry deserves the Order of Canada, or at least, that they should politicize national honours for political gain. It’s no-dummy, know-nothing, argument-starting populism, rooted in false nostalgia. In other words, it’s almost a tribute to Don. www.thestar.com/sports/nhl/w...

Whatever team opens the season against the Mariners should have every single batter extend a handshake to Raleigh as they step to the plate.

Yes, that’s the real problem, the press is reporting too much on the bad things that are happening.

Remember when they declared they had restored free speech and ended federal censorship on Trump's very first day back?

Well, now they're openly bragging about all the journalists they got fired for saying the wrong thing and all the companies the federal government forced to make changes.

Can the mayor get a restraining order against Michael Powell of the Atlantic? Because this is starting to feel like an unhealthy obsession

Correction notice from the New York Times reads: “A correction was made on March 13, 2026: An earlier version of this article described incorrectly John F. Kennedy Jr.’s religious affiliation. Mr. Kennedy was a Roman Catholic, not a “WASP” (an epithet used to refer to white Anglo-Saxon Protestants).”

This is one of the funniest corrections I’ve ever read

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

Yup. It was time a year ago. It's probably too late for the next election. But the drag created by the federal NDP is going to be enormous.

Because as bad as the Democrats are, they're still trusted more on the economy than the NDP is in Alberta.

I argued for it many times in the past. I think not doing it was a big mistake.
