Earlier this week, Rufo released the Manhattan Statement: a bold call to restore truth, civic virtue, and institutional neutrality to the nation’s elite universities. Backed by new polling data, the document arrives at a critical […]
The Democrats’ nomination of Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor draws attention to the ideological unity of Marxist economics, post-Marxist hatred of Israel, and antipatriotic rejection of America. Mamdani, the likely winner this November, wants to “globalize the intifada” and “seize the means of production,” which, as campaign guru Karl Rove notes, will allow […]
The direct effects of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada are well known: the North American economy will suffer on both sides of the border, deeply integrated and productive industries such as energy and autos will be upended, and America will thwart its ambitions to bring about a manufacturing renaissance by cutting off the primary […]
Lena Dunham’s much-anticipated return to TV arrived in the form of Too Much, a Netflix comedy-drama that reimagines her real-life breakup with musician-producer Jack Antonoff as a self-lacerating romantic odyssey. Largely staying behind the camera due to health problems, Dunham channeled her emotional chaos into a fictional avatar: Jessica (played with twitchy, unfiltered energy by […]
There’s a moment in the second act of James Gunn’s Superman where Lois Lane consoles the titular hero as he grapples with the revelation that his Kryptonian parents didn’t send him to Earth as a savior, but as a conqueror. Meanwhile, outside his apartment window, the Green Lantern and his Justice Gang are being thrashed […]
The Department of Homeland Security announced the end of Temporary Protected Status for Afghans in May, assessing that “improved security,” a “stabilizing economy,” and increased tourism demonstrated Afghans could safely return to their homeland. Hours after TPS was removed for about 11,700 Afghans on July 14, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit […]
The Left didn’t just spend the past few decades taking over such cultural institutions as universities, museums, and centers for the performing arts, in its drive to indoctrinate Americans. It also cleverly got United States taxpayers to help fund this takeover. President Donald Trump is now not just reclaiming lost cultural ground; he is also […]
Superman, arguably the most iconic comic book hero in American history, if not the world, had its latest cinematic iteration released over the weekend. The newest movie, Superman, has enjoyed box office success, reportedly earning over $217 million worldwide when it debuted last weekend.

Every year, when the National Center for Education Statistics publishes the Nation’s Report Card, it shows black students score well below their white counterparts. For example, in 2019, black students scored 30 points below white students in math, and in 2022, they scored 22 points behind in reading. Other data show that black students consistently […]
How many times do you think Democratic cities need to see other Democratic cities destroy themselves with massive tax increases before they realize that it is not smart or sustainable? Considering New York is poised to elect a communist as mayor, probably at least a couple more. So we look to the northwest in Seattle, […]
Handed down on the last day of June, the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA was the most important of the term. The court’s six Republican-appointed justices, in an opinion by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, ruled that district court judges can no longer issue universal or nationwide injunctions. Such injunctions exploded in the first […]
Society is backward. That impression is more intuitive than concrete, except when examining the modern posture toward parenthood. Then, statistics speak for themselves. For example, “By a ratio of nearly 50:1, women choose to terminate a pregnancy rather than place that child for adoption.” Researchers Ryan Hanlon and Elizabeth Kirk explain as much in an […]
In one of the earlier chapters of historian Walter A. McDougall’s recently compiled volume The Gems of American History: A Lecturer’s Art, we are treated to a pregnant aside. McDougall describes a 1790s letter exchange between Charles Thomson, “spy master and eminence grise of the American Revolution,” and President George Washington. Thomson apparently suggested to […]
We are six months into Donald Trump’s presidency, and the war that he had pledged to end “within 24 hours” is raging as fiercely as ever.
