Among all the units and divisions in the Army, none are as revered and glamorized as the elite special forces. Often mythologized and likened to caped superheroes, they are the grand cru of the military, a depiction that occasionally glosses over the stark reality of their heightened danger and mortality. Land of Bad, written and co-directed […]
When Rep. Jeff Jackson (D-NC) apologized for doing his job, he perfectly illustrated what happens when you allow social media to dominate your life and self-worth. Jackson voted in favor of a bill that would require TikTok to be sold by the Chinese company ByteDance in order to continue operating in the United States. TikTok […]
It is quite rare for a reactionary figure such as a Catholic saint to receive favorable biographical treatment from the film industry as Angel Studios recently afforded St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, a 19th century Italian nun who immigrated to the United States, in its new film Cabrini. With an obvious nod to the feminist movement, […]
Arthur the King, with actor Mark Wahlberg and a mangy dog named Arthur leading an extreme-sports team across 400 miles of jungle, is the best movie I’ve seen in years. Graded on the curve of how greatly it exceeds the schlock Hollywood has extruded this decade, it ranks among history’s most exceptional films. I mean […]
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency is a terrorist-supporting scam running on tax dollars from naive countries run by people who think like Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD). Van Hollen ripped into Israel’s accusations about UNRWA, declaring that Israel wants to destroy UNRWA because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu views the agency “as a […]
The American Investment Council wrote a letter on March 4 addressed to Federal Trade Commission Chairwoman Lina Khan expressing its apprehensions regarding the agency’s virtual hearing to be held the next day on the purported “harmful effects” of private equity investment within the healthcare sector. Specifically troubling to the AIC was the apparent bias evident […]
Lord Arthur James Balfour recognized what our activist class has failed to consider: that which has been stewarded for a generation cannot be cut down with an X-Acto knife. Earlier this month, an anti-Israel protester destroyed a 110-year-old portrait of Balfour at Cambridge University. The masked woman sprayed red paint over the portrait and slashed […]
For all its posturing about being a “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants, Chicago is now kicking them to the curb on the orders of Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson, one of the very promoters of the Windy City’s sanctuary status. Chicago evicted 34 illegal immigrants from city shelters on Sunday, the first of what will be […]
President Joe Biden and the media peddled a dishonest smear over the weekend, claiming that former President Donald Trump was inciting political violence when he said there would be a “bloodbath” in the country if he does not win in November. The Trump comment used to advance this false narrative was made by the former […]
Female athletes are taking a stand against the NCAA. Sixteen female college athletes who compete in sports such as swimming, track, and soccer are suing the NCAA over its transgender athlete policy. The athletes claim that the NCAA allowing men to compete in women’s sports violates Title IX, which bars discrimination based on anatomical sex at schools […]
The affluent, liberal Chicago suburb of Evanston ignored the pleas of its mostly Hispanic landscapers and kept a gas blower ban in place. However, the city kept its exemption from the ban, and the private golf course also gets a pass to use gas. The City Council rejected a temporary reprieve from its complete ban on gas blowers, first put in […]
It’s a common expression of derision: “A lot of girls show up just looking for their M.R.S. degree.” This line, which you hear mostly from college students and recent alumni, is a very particular form of the “I’m not like other girls” trope. The line is not only snooty, it’s also misguided. One of the […]
