Just in time for the holiday season, Bidenomics has managed to deliver the costliest Thanksgiving in American history. What is perhaps the quintessential American holiday is now another reminder that the nation is in a cost-of-living crisis where even food is taxing families’ budgets. This is the direct result of the leftist ideology that constantly pushes for…

In Argentina—a country where 1 out of every 4 people work for the state and more than half of the population receives some form of government welfare—14 million of its citizens have just voted for less government. They voted to slash the state. A true free-market reformer, Javier Milei is the first libertarian president in…

Elite Western institutions have not only failed to pass on our history and traditions, in many cases, they have intentionally tried to tear them down. The result is generations of Americans entirely untethered from their past. At best, they know much that isn’t so. That’s the theme of my new podcast, “History Reconsidered,” which I…

Elon Musk is going “thermonuclear.” No, this has nothing to do with SpaceX or any of his other wild technology projects—but it’s how Musk described the lawsuit he was filing against Media Matters for America this week. The lawsuit is in response to a Media Matters report last week that X, the Musk-owned social media platform formerly known…

Nothing about America is sacred to some people anymore. Even Thanksgiving is under attack. A group called Truthsgiving recently hosted a night of “truth-telling, music, and laughter celebrating indigenous culture and history.” Not that this is new, of course—claims that Thanksgiving, “glorifies colonialism, slavery, and even epidemics” have been made before. It’s tempting to simply…

Thanksgiving is meant to be devoted to thankfulness for family and the many other blessings in each of our lives. But, as most American families sit down to a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday, they will also be met with a specter looming over their financial life—namely, Bidenomics. Rising consumer prices, falling real incomes, a slowing…

So, Javier Milei is extremely scary. That’s what the legacy media have decided: The newly elected libertarian conservative leader of Argentina is absolutely frightening. Axios calls him a “far-right libertarian who’s been compared to Trump.” The New York Times writes, “Argentina Braces Itself for Its New ‘Anarcho-Capitalist’ President,” and called the election Argentina’s “Donald Trump…

No film from Angel Studios makes it to the big screen without the approval of the Angel Guild.  Over 21 films a week are submitted to the Angel Guild, “and then the guild goes through those and they’re picking their favorites and they’re greenlighting them and then Angel Studios can only pick from the list…

As people across the country prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, a Doris Day quote comes to mind: “Gratitude is riches and complaint is poverty.” The American actress and singer was right, and this week especially, each of us should take a moment to consider the unique history of this quintessential American holiday, what science says about…

Equality always has been an American preoccupation, right from the words “all men are created equal” in the Declaration of Independence. Yet even that phrase is not egalitarian enough by today’s lights; feminists long have objected to the gendered language of “all men.” Thomas Jefferson didn’t mean to commit a microaggression; in 1776, “all men”…

In many ways, it was a decision that launched a thousand boycotts. If people wanted to trace the surge of consumer activism back to its root, Georgia was probably the straw that broke the woke camel’s back. When Major League Baseball decided to move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta over a 2021 law to…

“By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Within the first few pages of the Bible, Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden. The man and…

Bari Weiss, the former New York Times editorial writer, delivered a tour de force speech explaining the West’s current war of ideas and laying out what we must do to save our civilization. Speaking at The Federalist Society’s annual National Lawyers Convention, Weiss spoke after receiving a prize named after Barbara K. Olsen, a victim…

A couple of years ago, former Vice President Mike Pence says a good friend of his said he was curious how Pence managed to have a wonderful family while also maintaining a demanding political career. That conversation became the genesis for Pence’s new book, “Go Home for Dinner: Advice on How Faith Makes a Family…
