There were some very compelling reasons for picking the first Tuesday in November as Election Day—at least, they were when that date was chosen.

Some Stephen King adaptations are scarier than others, and not because of the monsters. Here are eight that continue to give us nightmares.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) conduct a "comprehensive" investigation into former President Joe Biden’s autopen use.

House Republicans are calling on the Justice Department to launch an investigation into the Biden administration’s use of an autopen, an effort they hope will unwind various actions taken by former President Biden.

Former President Joe Biden experienced such “cognitive decline” while in office that it remains a serious question as to whether he was aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen, the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee asserted in a letter it sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to consider whether that clemency might be invalid and to take action for potential prosecution against some of Biden’s aides.

I just returned from a trip to New Orleans. Airports provide an excellent opportunity for people-watching. I noticed that many people (2 or 3 out of 5?) were carrying their cell phone in their hand, many scrolling as they walked. It seems as if our attention spans increasingly resemble that of a goldfish — short and easily diverted. There were some people engaging in conversation, but a great many people traveling in pairs and in small groups were, for the most part, staring into screens. I even saw a child, around 3 or 4 years old and in a stroller, swiping an electronic screen. This digital deluge has hijacked our focus. We’re becoming separated from one another and it may be bringing about a societal crisis. I contend that it’s eroding the very foundations of civil discourse that once defined our republic.
