Workers don’t share Democrats’ nostalgia for unions
04/16/2021 - 5:06pm

UNIONS: April 16, 2021 It wasn’t even close. The final count was 1,798 against and 738 for, 71% to 29%. THE ISSUE in question was whether the employees at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, wanted to be represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. Not, as the Washington Post, owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, put it: a contest of “Big Tech vs. its workers....
Will Joe Biden’s Jim Crow big lie boomerang?
Michael Barone 04/09/2021 - 5:41pm
VOTING: April 9, 2021 The big lie works — until it doesn’t. THE BIG LIE in this case is Joe Biden’s charge that the changes in Georgia election law passed by the majority-Republican legislature and signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp on April 1 being are “Jim Crow on steroids.” This was doubling down on his...
Too much risk aversion is too risky
Michael Barone 04/03/2021 - 11:54pm
RISK AVERSION: April 2, 2021 “This is not politics,” President Joe Biden said last week. “Reinstate the mandate if you let it down.” Give him credit for consistency: When Gov. Greg Abbott ended Texas’ mask mandate last month, Biden called it “Neanderthal thinking.” BUT MAYBE the Neanderthals got it right...

CHINA: March 26, 2021 The acrid atmosphere last week at the Captain Cook Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, with its vivid murals of the 18th-century British seafarer James Cook’s discoveries throughout the Pacific, sounds very much like the acrid atmosphere almost exactly 60 years ago in the Beaux-Arts American and Soviet embassies in Vienna: grim...
What explains Biden’s chameleonlike transformation?
Michael Barone 03/22/2021 - 11:56pm
BIDEN PRESIDENCY: March 19, 2021 How to explain Joe Biden’s ideological transformation over the years? Perhaps it’s the same as the explanation of why the chameleon’s complexion changes when he moves from desert to forest: adaptation to local terrain. ABOUT THE Biden transformation there can be no question. The senator who...
Biden moves forward with open-door immigration
Michael Barone 03/16/2021 - 11:17pm
This Week's Conservative Focus . . . Immigration “BIDEN,” say the young demonstrators’ T-shirts, imitating his campaign logo, “PLEASE LET US IN!” The picture ran in the New York Times, but one wonders whether whoever paid for the tees got his money’s worth, for President Joe Biden’s administration...
