BARONE: The problems with net zero

October 9, 2023 Michael Barone

BARONE: The surge of populism — and nationalism 

September 30, 2023 Michael Barone

“Populist politicians and parties,” writes the Ethics and Public Policy Center’s Henry Olsen in The Spectator, are “rapidly gaining strength and power across the developed world.” They’re doing so despite the opposition and angry scorn […]

BARONE: People of color trending Republican

BARONE: Legalized shoplifting becomes a racket, and minorities hardest hit 

September 16, 2023 Michael Barone

BARONE: Mugged by reality? Or respectful of common sense? 

June 1, 2023 Michael Barone

A conservative, to paraphrase and slightly alter Irving Kristol’s saying, is a liberal who has been mugged by reality — especially by a reality that is plain to the vast bulk of ordinary people but […]

BARONE: Republicans aren’t disappearing — and may even be growing stronger

May 9, 2023 Michael Barone

Reports of the death of the Republican Party continue to be premature.  You’ve heard the litany, often from reporters and commentators who never liked Republicans and, lately, from others who can’t stomach former President Donald […]

BARONE: How to stop lies begetting lies
