The Chesa Boudin Inflection Point in the Fight for Civilizational Sanity
Chesa Boudin is, by any reasonable measure, a nut job. Conservatives could not grow a more picture-perfect political villain in a petri dish, even if they tried; Boudin really is that caricaturable. Boudin’s parents were Weather Underground domestic terrorists and, following the 1981 Brink’s robbery in New York state, convicted as cop-killers. They were incarcerated… -

Democrats Called for Action Against Justices. They Got It.
“I want to tell you, [Justice Neil] Gorsuch. I want to tell you, [Justice Brett] Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” Those were the words of the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., one of… -

California’s Absurd Focus on Slavery Reparations
California is infested with violent crime, failing schools, America’s highest gasoline prices (a stunning $9.60 per gallon in Mendocino), and a 1,200-year-record drought. Al fresco vagrants—too many of them mentally ill and/or addicted to drugs and alcohol—populate ramshackle tent cities that breed lawlessness, squalor, and chaos. Rampant wildfires burn the Golden State to a crisp… -

Pride Month Jumps the Shark
“Pride” events started a few decades ago as an activist effort to push back against the stigma attached to homosexuality. Now extended across the whole month of June, it looks more like an effort designed to do the opposite. Last weekend, social media abounded with videos of a Pride event at a gay bar in… -

The Left’s Short Path From the Politics of Personal Destruction to Physical Destruction
In the still dark hours of Wednesday morning, a man armed with a gun, a knife, and burglary tools was arrested outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home.

The Subordinate Citizen
I recently led a group of about 100 citizens to tour Israel for nearly two weeks. Before returning to the United States, all participants had to indicate their vaccination status and take a COVID-19 test for reentry. Anxieties swept the group as Israeli testers swabbed them. Anyone testing positive would have to delay his or… -

Conservative Media Doesn’t ‘Dwarf’ Liberal Media
As much as conservatives appreciate the counterbalance of the conservative media, it can be shocking to witness the audacity of liberals pretending that Fox News is enormous and uniquely partisan in nature. Former Barack Obama spin artist Dan Pfeiffer wrote this in one of his regular articles for the glossy left-wing rag Vanity Fair: “The… -

What Medicare Patients Should Know About Biden’s Woke ‘Anti-Racism’ Rule
Your Medicare doctor better get to Woke School. The federal government wants her to take time away from patient care and create an “equity plan” to root out supposed “systemic racism” that allegedly pervades American health care and creates disparities in health outcomes between racial and ethnic minorities and the general population. Pursuant to final… -

Kirk Cameron’s New Documentary Explores World of Homeschooling
Thanks to virtual schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic, parents were horrified to discover the radical lesson plans their children’s activist teachers were teaching. Lessons on critical race theory and on sexual orientation and gender identity caused parents to realize they would have to take their kids’ education into their own hands. Post-pandemic, the homeschool boom… -

What If? Questions a Bipartisan Probe of Jan. 6 Might Have Answered
A bipartisan investigation of the Capitol riot would dig into the security breakdown and not ignore questions that didn’t conform to a Democrat Party narrative, said Rep. Jim Banks, whose appointment to a select committee was blocked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “If I were ranking member of the committee, we would be asking the… -

Someone Just Tried to Kill Brett Kavanaugh. Welcome to the New Normal.
I was at the Supreme Court the night of May 2, when the news broke, based on a leaked draft opinion, that the high court likely would overturn its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. I remember thinking that the rage expressed by the radical activists outside the Supreme Court Building was bad. But I never… -

Biden Administration Holds School Lunches Hostage to Radical Transgender Agenda
There’s been plenty of sturm und drang over the upcoming Title IX rule change from the Department of Education—one that will expand the prohibition against “sex” discrimination under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 to “gender identity” discrimination. And the sturm und drang is well warranted. Such a change—anticipated for release this month—will,… -

Amber Heard made a social media post after the verdict of her trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp was read, peddling the notion that the outcome is a setback for women. This is shameful, to say the least. This case was not about women. This case was about nothing other than finding the truth, irrespective of… -

Sorry, Democrats: Other Opinions Exist
This week, my company, The Daily Wire, premiered a blockbuster new documentary starring Matt Walsh. Titled “What Is A Woman?”, the documentary investigates radical gender theory and its peculiar hold on the elites in our society—and how the insane proposition that men can become women and vice versa has become so well-accepted that even normal… -

The Eerie Silence Around Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt
If someone attempts to murder a Supreme Court justice, but corporate media barely covers it, did it actually happen?
