It’s clear that hating America is still in vogue. Far from banished to the pages of history, the waves of national self-disgust throughout the political Left of the early and mid-20th century have been given a modern facelift and are back, angrier than ever before.

Revolutionary at the time of our founding, this idea remains the bedrock of American democracy and strength. As we approach our nation’s 250th anniversary, we should acknowledge the endurance of these ideals […]
It is difficult to convey exactly how famous Michael Jackson was in the 1980s, because our increasingly fragmented, online culture is no longer capable of producing fame of such scale or universal reach. But director Antoine Fuqua’s new biopic, Michael, succeeds in giving us at least a glimpse of an era when the King of […]
After news broke of a shooter bursting through a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night, the suspect’s profile emerged with a chillingly familiar predictability: a young, highly intelligent male, shaped by a decade of progressive propaganda, convinced he could make history by ridding the world of a modern-day Hitler. […]
Much has been made about the background of Cole Allen, the 31-year-old man charged with the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night. Allen was a teacher.

Most assassins and failed assassins are mad more than anything else, and their grievances are totally incoherent. Cole Allen, the man who allegedly tried to shoot President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, was different. Allen’s apparent manifesto was eerily lucid, and to the extent he was divorced from reality, it was exactly […]
As electricity demand rises for the first time in decades, utility companies such as Exelon, PPL, and FirstEnergy are making what seems like a simple request to state policymakers: Let us build generation in the Mid-Atlantic region again. What they don’t disclose is that utilities can already build generation in competitive markets. What they’re actually […]

In 1997, when the Smashing Pumpkins were arguably the world’s top alternative-rock band, they released a promotional single, “The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning,” in conjunction with one of the year’s bestselling films, Batman & Robin.

Patients shouldn’t be penalized for finding a better deal on their prescriptions. Too often, they are. Those who pay out of pocket for medications — often at lower prices through direct-to-consumer platforms — typically receive no credit toward their health plan’s annual deductible. Higher-priced drugs purchased through an insurer’s preferred channels, on the other hand, […]
The Democratic Party has become an anti- Israel party. The Left’s turn against the Jewish state has taken decades — it began in the 1960s — but former President Barack Obama put it into high gear, and it has accelerated under his militant heirs. The Senate recently rejected a measure sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders […]
