Political Commentary & Opinion

We are in a Jacobin revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020. It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support….

As states continue to pass laws protecting children from permanent genital mutilation at the hands of gender-obsessed cultists, radical transgender activists have begun touting a new slogan in an attempt to garner public sympathy: “Stop trans genocide.” Popular Twitch streamer Keffals released a video on YouTube, “Texas is Preparing for Genocide,” while another online leftist…

The beauty of Easter is captured in part in the Hebrew “Dayenu,” meaning “It would have been enough.”  On Sunday evening, I sat around a long, rectangular table with about 20 other Christians. We spanned more than 50 years in age from the youngest to the oldest, but we were all gathered to celebrate a…

Though the Department of Homeland Security’s infamous Disinformation Governance Board was disbanded due to public pressure last year, it was immediately clear that the department’s already well-established so-called disinformation efforts would continue in less formal, but equally concerning ways. Enter Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which has been increasingly involved in these efforts….

Passover begins with a Seder meal to “remember what our ancestors went through,” Rabbi Pinchas Taylor says. “You do physical actions and experience physical tastes and motions and whatnot to … not only tell over the story, but reexperience the story as it took place,” says Taylor, author of the books “Pillars of Faith” and…

It is a unique and special time now because Christians, Jews, and Muslims all are engaged in major holidays of religious contemplation and renewal: Christians with Holy Week and Easter, Jews with Passover, and Muslims with Ramadan. We’re talking billions around the world. So, although in our time there has been a retreat in various…

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Southern Poverty Law Center routinely brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations "hate groups," placing them on a map with chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, but most lawsuits aiming to hold the SPLC accountable for this alleged defamation have failed. On Friday, however, a federal judge denied the SPLC's motion…

Country music legend Randy Travis once covered an older number called “It’s Just a Matter of Time.” In his signature twang, Travis belts out a classic song of lament in which the singer is pining for a lost love—someone whom the singer seems to think will return in due course. It’s most certainly wishful thinking….

My field of study in graduate school was communism. As a fellow at the Russian Institute of Columbia’s School of International Affairs, I was, if I remember correctly, one of seven students in the entire university to major in what was known at the time as “Communist Affairs.” I cite this in order to make…

The Left continues to object to laws requiring voters to present identification, even as voters support such laws and states enact them. As explained in my book “The Myth of Voter Suppression,” states with voter ID laws typically have higher turnout during elections.  The Ohio Legislature passed a photo ID law this year, while Nebraska…

Democrats are just appalled that Republicans would dare call a “mostly peaceful” storming of a Capitol building an “insurrection.” Any comparison to what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, is just outrageous, they say. Following a mass shooting by a transgender person at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, several protests erupted in Tennessee and other…

Next time you go to a restaurant, take a look around the room. Chances are half the people will be sitting in silence staring at their phones. This includes people there with their friends and family. We are so used to this that we’ve grown numb to it, but it’s horrible. What’s the point of…

The Left loves to accuse whites of “implicit bias” and even “unconscious bias.” White people, they claim, are prejudiced, largely without knowing it. Apparently, white racism is now so subliminal that one needs a CT scan to find it. But for old-fashioned, out-in-the open racism, look to the Left. The same people who demand “Diversity! Equity! and Inclusion!” also…

The Left is in an uproar. Parents opposed to their indoctrinating ways are forming a resistance movement. One uproar is over books—assigned books in the classroom and available books in the school library. Disagree with the content of the books? You’re for “book bans.” Technically, this is accurate inside the school, but the leftist press makes it sound like you’re banning books…
