Don’t cry for Jimmy Kimmel

There is no reason to cry for Jimmy Kimmel after the indefinite suspension of his show. He did it to himself through his unfunny, sanctimonious lecturing and poor ratings. Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been indefinitely suspended by ABC following his comments about Charlie Kirk’s death, and Democrats everywhere are crying that this is a violation of free speech […]

Kimmel was pulled for lying about half the country, not criticizing the president

The leaders of the Democratic Party want you to believe that ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air is an egregious violation of the First Amendment. “The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of […]

Sorry, Europe is still very weak on Russia

The increasingly common consensus of the foreign policy commentariat is that while Europe has finally gotten its act together against Russia‘s threat, President Donald Trump remains Moscow’s weak pawn. This is inaccurate. Yes, Trump too often views the trans-Atlantic alliance through a wholly business-like prism, ignoring concerns of history and trust. He also continues to […]

GOP aims to boost college quality and student enrollment

College enrollments have dropped to lows not seen since the Great Recession. Higher education policy experts from the right-of-center think tank American Enterprise Institute have stated that the declining quality of education, degrees with low return on investment, and almost certain post-graduate student debt are at fault.

The Right is winning the culture war. It doesn’t need the FCC

All these things can be true at the same time about ABC’s pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! First, Kimmel is a dishonest hack who used his show to spread self-indulgent partisan dreck. Private companies, as leftists pointed out only a few years ago, have the option of “deplatforming” anyone they please. Kimmel has no God-given right […]

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, the Left’s hateful rhetoric must stop

America has a new “N-word” problem, and it is unsurprisingly leading to violence. In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10 by a radical leftist, the future of American politics is in a state of crisis. Trust, the vital currency of political discourse, is at its lowest point, perhaps since the […]

Charlie Kirk understood conservatives need to take back academia

Until last week, we used to speak metaphorically about United States campuses becoming the main battleground in the culture wars. As the heartrending assassination of Charlie Kirk proves, we have become a darker nation, and that is no longer just a figure of speech. The assassination, the place where it was carried out, and the […]

Don’t overlook Charlie Kirk’s impact on Gen Z’s faith

A recent report from a Democratic firm highlights one of the most shocking political phenomena of our time: the connection between President Donald Trump and Generation Z.

Speaking at the Polk County Democrats’ Steak Fry in Iowa last […]

Kimmel cancelation isn’t ‘cancel culture,’ it’s consequence culture.

ABC’s bombshell decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel‘s late-night show set the legacy media and establishment Democrats into a tailspin on Wednesday evening. They framed the move as a capitulation to a bullying Trump administration. MSNBC prime-time host Chris Hayes tweeted ominously, “The countries where comedians can’t mock the leader on late-night TV are not really ones you want to […]
