Why would Walmart need to “eat the tariffs” if, as Trump has long claimed, “a tariff is a tax on a foreign country”? (8/17/24, Wilkes-Barre, PA)

everyone should have two therapists, a man who tells you to grow up and get your shit together, and a woman who tells you to love yourself the way you are. Ideally they should be married to each other since at least 9 months before you were born

Never in my life have I so thoroughly sided with Europe in a disagreement with the United States. They are right and America is in the wrong here. The White House is behaving dishonorably, and the legislators who know it but do nothing are cowards.

The rule of law — respect for it — is a key ingredient of conservatism. The nat-pop Right, and others, have no time for it. Who cares about the law when you’ve got things to smash? Our country needs, among other things, a recovery of conservatism. Honest, American conservatism.

What’s funny about all this gerrymandering talk is that we’re fighting over which party controls a legislative branch that doesn’t actually legislate anymore.

Notre Dame has made NFL Draft history. First team to produce two first-round running backs since 2008 Arkansas. First team to produce the first two backs off the board in the common draft era. Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price: A once-in-a-lifetime tandem.

People ask me all the time, “How do I keep my kids in the faith?” The answer is simpler than most people want it to be: your example matters more than your words. Children learn by imitation long before they learn by instruction. If you want your kids to be more grateful, let
