State of the Union viewership fell 28% this year, setting the record for the lowest audience for an official State of the Union address in the 30 years Nielsen has been reporting the statistic.
Biden’s 2021 address to Congress was lower, but it wasn’t an official State of the Union address, because he had been in office for only a few months, instead of a full year.
On Tuesday,…

I wrote a two-part series (here and here) about Donald Trump supporting massive middle-class tax increases.
Trump does not admit that is his policy, of course, but that is an unavoidable outcome since he opposes entitlement reform.
In the interest of fairness and bipartisanship, I should explain that Joe Biden also favors huge tax increases on ordinary people.
Like Trump, he…

The church does not, however, perform religious weddings for same-sex couples. King Henry VIII established the Church of England in the 16th century after he rejected the authority of the Pope.

Lots of people complain. But when they’re really fed up, they “vote with their feet.” And by that metric, Illinois is one of the most unpopular states in the nation.
The latest Census Bureau data show that the Land of Lincoln is hemorrhaging people at an astonishing rate—and public policy there is likely to blame.
From July 2021 to July 2022, more than 142,000 people…
