"Mr. Geraghty has taken the time to put together a lived-in, well-crafted world, one where, like ours, nothing is off the table in terms of possibilities. Things do not simply happen for the sake of plot contrivance, nor do they grind along quietly with spasms of fight scenes -…

In early 2020, as Bernie Sanders was winning the early presidential primaries and the Covid pandemic was creeping closer, Democrats panicked and went with the guy they thought was the old reliable. He turned out to only be the first part. Trying to white-knuckle Biden into a…

Hunter Biden fumes about the Pod Save America guys, "they’ve got their finger on the pulse of the Democratic party, right from their Hollywood studio, with their homes in Bel Air." Keep in mind, until the wildfires, Hunter Biden was living in a $4 million rental property in…

I don’t remember many Democrats agreeing or concurring that everything about Hunter Biden’s lucrative gigs with foreign businessmen — while he was putting the entire country of Colombia up his nose on a regular basis — stunk to high heaven. Instead, we kept getting idiotic…

I will not spend a lot of time and effort defending the Pod Save America hosts,  but I would point out that they did all work for the Obama campaign and in the Obama White House. Regardless of how you feel about the work that they did, they had to be good enough to at least get…

Our old friend Kyle Smith responded to the news that CBS was canceling The Late Show by attributing it to the hubris of Stephen Colbert. The host no doubt understood the show was losing $40 million per year. He could have led the way years ago, by taking a pay cut (Colbert was…

We have fewer Americans being born, which means down the road we will have fewer students, fewer workers, fewer customers, and fewer potential members of the armed forces. We will also have fewer entrepreneurs, fewer doctors, fewer innovators and geniuses, and fewer…

In certain progressive circles, everyone’s talking about the Trump administration’s alleged war on college education. Very few are bothering to discuss the serious long-term threat of fewer students applying and fewer students walking through the door when classes begin. (I’m…

We’re coming up on the 18-year anniversary of the Great Recession, and with fewer 18-year-olds coming along... well, that’s really bad news for higher education institutions. nationalreview.com/the-morning-jo…

From 2007 to 2011, there were more than 74 million children ages 0 to 17 in America. This year, there are 70.9 million of them. By 2030, that number is projected to further decline to 69.1 million of them. By 2035, 67.9 million. Think about the number of Americans employed in…

Some of that steep decline reflects a rise in private-school enrollment and homeschooling, but year by year, there are just fewer kids around for adults to educate, no matter which path the parents choose. In June, ProPublica reported that for years, Chicago Public Schools has…

You would think America’s teachers’ unions would be apoplectic about the trend of declining birth rates. Fewer children being born means fewer kids enrolling in schools down the road. "The NCES 2024 December report, which accounts for fall 2023 data, found that 18 states saw…

If you have 3.6 million babies born in the United States in 2024, then you will have, at maximum, 3.6 million 18-year-olds in the year 2042. Now, the year 2042 might seem awfully far away. The American voting public has a remarkable ability to ignore long-term problems. In June,…

Now, the birth of 3.6 million babies in the U.S. in 2024 sounds like a lot. But in the year 2007, we had 4.32 million born in the United States. In 2010, we had 4 million. We remained close to 4 million per year until 2016 (3.95 million). And then in 2020 — go figure, with the…

It is extremely difficult to solve a problem if people refuse to recognize that something is a problem. God knows how many people in that “low priority” category have a musky copy of Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb sitting on some shelf, and/or remember the overpopulated…
