As a child, I spent a lot of time with my mother’s cousin Dolly. I remember seeing childhood pictures of Dolly running through her yard. That was before she contracted the polio virus. Sadly, there was no polio vaccine for Dolly at the time. Dolly spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair and […]
Donald Trump defeated his not-so-democratically-selected opponent, Kamala Harris, by 86 electoral seats and over 2 million votes in November. On his path to victory, Trump won every battleground state, with Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada all pulling the lever for the 45th and 47th president of the United States. But now, […]
Conservatives often bemoan their cultural losses — and not entirely without reason. Hollywood, academia, and the media lean liberal. Yet every now and then, a quiet victory sneaks through, wrapped in a film that may not “own the libs” but hums with values conservatives should instantly recognize. Rather than taking the win, many on the […]
The American justice system is supposed to work based on the presumption of innocence. To achieve a guilty verdict, a prosecutor must provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It was nearly four years ago that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all federal and state charges in the killing of George Floyd. But the […]
Mahmoud Khalil is a leading agitator in New York who stokes hatred and harassment of Jews, works for the eradication of Israel, glorifies the murderous evil of Hamas terrorism, and presses for the “total elimination of Western civilization.” So he is among the most repellent of men in a country of 335 million people, which […]
When a federal district judge ruled on March 1 that President Donald Trump could not remove the head of the Office of Special Counsel, Hampton Dellinger, it seemed like a huge setback for the administration. In a 67-page opinion, Judge Amy Berman Jackson stressed that Congress had made that whistleblower-protection agency independent of presidential control […]
In the rapidly shifting landscape of artificial intelligence, the United States faces an urgent challenge: securing a stable and independent supply of rare earth minerals. Indeed, AI hardware and chips rely on these rare elements as essential building blocks. For decades, China has dominated this market, controlling around 70% of global production and an even […]
“Rick Perry’s Strange Sex Story” was the New York Times headline. The columnist, Gail Collins, said Perry further proved he was “an absolutely terrible secretary of energy” by arguing “that fossil fuels would protect women from sexual assault.” Perry, a conservative Republican from Texas, was an official in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet during his first […]
Democratic officials in California have circled back from their coddling of drug addicts and homeless people to the understanding that they can use criminal law as leverage to eliminate the kind of antisocial behavior that destroys the quality of life in their cities. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan was the latest to discover this groundbreaking […]
Certain foods stand out as political signifiers: You’re more likely to see Republicans at a steakhouse chowing down on a rare filet and less likely to see them at the local salad bar ordering a vegetarian greens and grains bowl. Democrats are more predisposed to their ice cream fix from Ben & Jerry’s or perhaps […]
An old adage suggests, “There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved.” That is unless you are a liberal white woman on the Netflix show Love Is Blind. Then, life’s sole happiness is intrinsically linked to a radically militant left-wing activist organization that spent the better part of a decade spreading […]
We have a good idea of what Donald Trump and his MAGA movement are against. But what are they for? If MAGA succeeds in setting a cultural tone for the coming years, what will that tone be? This isn’t an easy question because MAGA contains multitudes. The two strongest cultural poles in the MAGA world […]
Police, firefighters, paramedics, and others who put their lives on the line to serve the public are themselves facing a crisis. Studies show they’re stressed out, short-staffed, and at an increased risk of suicide. When the well-being of our nation’s emergency personnel suffers, so do our communities, as inadequate resources lead to increased response times […]
More than any president in memory, Donald Trump is attuned to aesthetics. This should scarcely come as a surprise, given that Trump is our first builder-turned-president. In his previous vocation as a real estate developer, Trump became familiar with the things that make a building more than merely functional but surpassingly beautiful. One senses that […]
