In an Atlantic piece, psychologist Jean Twenge asked a serious question: “Why are the kids all right-wing?” She argued that the perceived Generation Z “red wave” that characterized President Donald Trump‘s rise to the White House was merely temporary. Nevertheless, Twenge interviewed data analyst David Shor, who sounded the alarm: “Young people have gone from […]
Author Anna Louie Sussman is both civil and thoughtful in her response to an earlier op-ed I wrote on feminism and fertility, but I am afraid, after this longer discussion, it appears there is less common ground between us than I originally thought. What first caught my eye in a recent op-ed Sussman wrote for […]
Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019, on federal charges for sex trafficking minors. While in his jail cell, he — allegedly — committed suicide on August 10, 2019. It’s been approximately six years since his death. The Trump administration has botched the long-promised release of Epstein-related information. But Democrats acting as if […]
I don’t know what’s in the Jeffrey Epstein “files,” nor do you. What we do know, however, is that the most popular conspiracy theories thrown around by the online mob lack any real evidence.

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 […]
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 […]
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.
