Jane Austen fans are loyal. If something claims an Austen affiliation, we will read it, watch it, or buy it. There are dolls, candles, artwork, coasters, jewelry, mugs, and tote bags. We even have Austen Band-Aids (so her words can literally soothe our injuries). So when PBS produced a series based on Austen’s unfinished novel “Sanditon,”…

According to a new report from The Washington Post, America’s corporations have committed at least $49.5 billion to the cause of “racial justice” since the George Floyd murder last year riveted our national attention on race. This amounts to a little over $1,100 for every black man, woman, and child in America. Or, from another…

Politicians love force. The idea of leaving us alone to make our own decisions goes against their nature. To be sure, civilized society sometimes needs government force: police to punish killers, soldiers to protect us from foreign invaders, environmental police to stop my smoke from flowing to your lungs… But the political class always goes…

“We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again,” President Joe Biden pledged in his Jan. 20 inaugural address. He announced on Feb. 4: “America is back. Diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy.” Despite such loud promises that he would make America’s alliances great again, Biden’s initially foolish, now fatal, Afghan catastrophe has atomized U.S. international ties as…

It’s not just racist birds. Now woke activists are triggered by racist rocks. The University of Wisconsin-Madison moved a 75-ton boulder Friday that had been placed on campus a century ago to honor geologist and educator Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin, the school’s president from 1887 to 1892.  The university relocated Chamberlin Rock, as it is called,…

Parents concerned about the leftward tilt of K-12 schools should take a close look at an international organization that is influencing education systems worldwide. In 2018, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, announced its educational goals for the world in a document titled “The Future of Education and Skills: Education 2030.” Among…

Growing up in the now-defunct Soviet Union was not easy for Zilvinas Silenas or his family.  “Government basically brainwashes you from a very early age, and government thinks you are disposable,” Silenas says of living under communism.  After leaving Russia and spending four years attending a “very left college” in America, Silenas says he became even…

After his March 2 Senate committee confirmation hearing, Rohit Chopra appeared to have a “reasonably assured path forward” to becoming the next director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Suddenly, however, Chopra’s prospects look a bit different. As Government Executive reports, several current and former employees of the bureau allege that the Biden administration is…

Although nearly a quarter of Americans (23%) say socialism means equality, fewer (17%) correctly identify socialism as an economic system where the government controls key factors of production and distribution, according to a Gallup poll in 2018. The same poll found that 42% of Americans said they feel positively about socialism. Despite such apparent support…

Most of us recall as children getting into a dispute with another kid and then blaming him for starting a fight. When Mom approached, you said, “He hit me first.” The other kid denies it and accuses you of hitting him first. As adults we become more sophisticated when lying. That’s why White House press…

As part of its ongoing campaign to become the most reviled group in America, Antifa branched out from its usual behavior of smashing windows and beating people to engaging in some good old-fashioned cancel culture.   This week’s victim was Winston Marshall, former Mumford & Sons guitarist and banjo player, who was forced to leave the band after praising journalist Andy Ngo for his new book “Unmasked:…
