Two years ago, Americans tended to see Russia as the nation’s number one threat. Years of the media incessantly pushing Russia as a threat may have had something to do with that. Economically, Russia has not been competitive with the United States and if it had not inherited the Soviet Union’s seat on the UN
Last week a professor at the University of Vermont uploaded a video criticizing what he dubbed the “secular religion” of race at the school. Professor Aaron Kindsvatter said he was afraid to make his comments because he doesn’t want his current or former students to think he is dismissing genuine complaints of discrimination they might
The Hill’s Joe Concha called The Washington Post a “political operative” for misquoting former President Donald Trump’s phone call with a Georgia elections investigator on ‘Fox & Friends’ Tuesday.

On Monday, CNN host Don Lemon lectured the Roman Catholic Church and all other Christian denominations on The View, declaring — as if he had been given direct inspiration from God — that the traditional definition of marriage is “not what God is about.” He suggested that racial segregation and other forms of segregation are ultimately
Fauci realizes that the Texas Rangers are planning to allow full capacity for Opening Day, right? That’s 40,000+ fans in the stands on April 5, three months before Biden’s target date for all Americans to feel safe having small barbecues with friends for Independence Day.

Virginia’s Democratic governor Ralph Northam has signed legislation allowing elective-abortion coverage to be included in insurance plans on the state health-care exchanges. Because health-care options on the state exchange often receive subsidies, this policy means that taxpayers will effectively be forced to fund elective abortions. Prior to this revision, Virginia law allowed health-care plans on
Remember Sunday nights in the 1980s when you turned on the tv to watch little Punky Brewster play in her treehouse with her friends? Did you ever think to yourself, “I hope they reboot this show one day with Punky as a New Age divorcée who has a gender-dysphoric kid. And they better make sure her best friend
The media conspiracy against Trump became a lot more serious on Monday when the Washington Post retracted its January story claiming that President Donald Trump had pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find the fraud” in the 2020 election and said that he’d be a “national hero” if he did. A recording of

(Pixabay) Are we at some halfway point for this country? At some tipping point? Ides has a calendar significance — but as far as Caesar was concerned, the Ides weren’t the middle: They were the bloody end. Well, we’ll be damned if we are at the end of what Lincoln called the last best hope
Progressivism is a form of cruelty that encourages women to kill their own children and not disclose it to their husbands, for the sake of mommy’s mental health of course. The advice column at lefty rag Slate gave some highly disturbing, but not shocking, guidance to a married mother of one who had recently become
A staggering number of murders and shootings took place in Portland, Oregon, after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis touched off violent riots across America. Many of the most violent riots occurred in Portland, and with police resources stretched thin, lawlessness increased exponentially across the city. The correlation could not be more clear—after Floyd’s
Well, in part, anyway. As California governor Gavin Newsom girds up for an all-but-certain recall challenge, a new poll from Emerson and media group Nexstar suggests that the first-termer may well survive it.

President Biden is taking a victory lap after signing his $1.9 trillion ‘COVID’ spending bill. “Help is here,” he wrote in a tweet promoting his plan.

A man walks through Georgetown University’s campus, Washington, D.C., April 3, 2020. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) Cancellation has become so frequent that there’s a tendency to note the latest example perfunctorily and move on, hoping you’re not the next victim. Last week’s termination of Professor Sandra Sellers of Georgetown Law School bears more than a perfunctory mention.
Border crisis? The Democrats, with a helping hand from CNN, have the perfect solution: open the borders! Presto-change-o: crisis gone!

On Monday, the Vatican reaffirmed the Roman Catholic Church’s 2,000-year-old doctrine that marriage is between one man and one woman and that homosexual acts are illicit. Therefore, the Vatican stated that the church cannot bless same-sex weddings because that would lead to confusion about the doctrine of marriage. This should not surprise anyone with a
Erik Wemple giveth, and Erik Wemple taketh away. The Washington Post’s media critic appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources yesterday, where host Brian Stelter learned the hard way not to ask questions when you don’t want the real answers.

Crisis opportunism has been the theme of the globalist establishment in the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic over the last year. The world has witnessed the left’s attempt to transform society into a progressive utopia through the Great Reset.

(Devonyu/Getty Images) The “progressive” project of controlling society works more easily if people’s thoughts can be shaped by the use of language. Orwell understood that and so do our contemporary authoritarians of all shades. In the realm of education, we find lots of examples. Right now, the most prominent is the DEI trio: diversity, equity,
Among many other acts, Sunday night’s Grammy Awards showcased an anarchistic anti-police performance by rapper Lil Baby.

China’s declaration that “patriots” need to run the Hong Kong government is about as scary as it is nebulous. Patriotism is a malleable word because various homegrown factions with vastly different policy positions and goals can easily declare allegiance to a country. China’s Ambassador to the U.S., Cui Tiankai, sees “patriotism” in Hong Kong as
