Commentary Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the formation of an exploratory committee for his candidacy for president. You may have noticed that Scott is black.

The Politics and Sentimentality of Descent
Commentary The emphasis President Joe Biden places on his Irishness is simultaneously bogus and sincere: for it is a strange fact of human psychology that if you repeat something to yourself often enough you come to believe that it must be true, especially if it’s to your advantage, and then you begin to have the…

Soccer Moms are giving way to Single Woke Females—the new “SWFs”—as one of the most potent voting blocs in American politics.
