The first flashpoints to erupt in the gender wars have involved activists awakening a sleeping giant—millions of parents across the political spectrum.  Mostly thanks to outraged parents, the resistance against gender ideology scored its first major victories in 2023. States passed dozens of laws prohibiting secret “gender-support plans,” protecting women’s sports, or restricting gender drugs and surgery on kids.  There…

It’s been a rough week for “the Squad.” The Squad is an informal group of eight Democratic House members who represent the far left of the party. They typically receive glowing media coverage as they promote various progressive causes, but things haven’t gone so well for them in recent days. Not only has this gaggle…

Open Doors International, a nonprofit organization that supports persecuted Christians in over 70 countries, has released its annual 2024 World Watch List, which highlights and ranks countries in which Christians face the most severe persecution and discrimination. Each year, the report brings vital attention to brave Christians around the world who suffer because of their faith….

Javier Milei is the president of one country, Argentina, which makes him accountable to the world’s 46 million Argentines. But the global Left knows that if Milei’s free-market reforms succeed, its ascendancy might be cut short. That’s why so many leftists supported or even helped plan last week’s massive demonstrations against Argentina’s new elected leader….

Historians and the general public regularly rank Abraham Lincoln as America’s greatest president. There is little doubt that he is widely admired for the work he did to end slavery and preserve the Union. But beyond these two important points, most Americans know little else about Lincoln’s life. A 2013 poll by Participant found that…

Argentina actually elected a libertarian president. Javier Milei campaigned with a chain saw, promising to cut the size of government. Argentina’s leftists had so clogged the country’s economic arteries with regulations that what once was one of the world’s richest countries is now one of the poorest. Inflation is more than 200%. People save their…

Having served as the chief of police for three suburban law enforcement agencies just outside of Washington, D.C., I have watched with concern—though not surprise—as crime in the nation’s capital has skyrocketed over the past year, even as the number of police officers serving with the city’s Metropolitan Police Department has dropped to a half-century…

This week, three American soldiers died at the hands of an Iranian proxy group that used a drone to strike an American base in Jordan. The Biden administration immediately leapt into action by issuing a strongly worded statement, while simultaneously proclaiming that it wanted to avoid escalation. Which, of course, is precisely the wrong thing…

According to Rep. Ilhan Omar, her job in Congress is to represent the interests of Somalis. That’s what Omar, D-Minn., a member of the rabidly left-wing group of House members known as “the Squad,” appeared to be saying in a translation of a speech she delivered in the Somali language at the Hyatt Regency Hotel…

I recently attended the World Economic Forum’s 54th annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The theme was “rebuilding trust,” and today, I can truly say that I’ve never been more hopeful about the future of democracy. That’s not because I was impressed by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ shock at “the systemic undermining of principles and standards” or convinced by Chinese Communist…

In 2021, United Airlines released the following statement: “Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people on board our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color.” In the past few weeks, a 2021 interview…

Live by the transgender mob, die by the transgender mob. That message should’ve already made its way to most corporate board rooms, but a few stubborn holdouts seem determined to find out the hard way. Rip Curl is the latest brand to stick its toe in the unfriendly waters of the LGBT debate with this…
