Progressives think jailing criminals doesn’t affect crime

There is a pervasive idea among the progressives who run American cities that there is no difference between a society that keeps career criminals behind bars and one that allows those career criminals to run free throughout their cities.

Our Constitution was made for capitalism, not socialism

With Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, the resurgent appeal of socialism, especially among younger voters, is undeniable.

And just last month, […]

Once-great ‘powers’ surrender to terrorist Islam
