O’Sullivan’s First Law—named after former National Review editor John O’Sullivan, a one-time speechwriter for then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher—states that any institution that’s not explicitly right-wing will become left-wing over time. The Walton Family Foundation has proved to be a prime example of that rule. For the past decade or more, second- and third-generation heirs…

The war in Ukraine, brutally slogging along some 5,000 miles from the U.S., involves another people but it serves as a reminder to Americans of what it takes to keep one’s country safe, free, and prosperous. It also reminds us that there are dangers in this world that can only be stopped by people willing…

In the early 2000s, the United States enjoyed comparative racial optimism. Majorities of both black and white citizens felt race relations were improving. Even left-leaning NPR highlighted “colorblindness” as an ideal.  A generation later, race relations have nosedived. We hear regularly about “systemic racism” and “white supremacy.” Colorblindness now is considered racist. This whiplash may leave many people wondering what happened.    The collapse…

Our corrupted institutions fear that the American people are taking back their birthright—that is, taking back the concept of self-government.

Ernest Hemingway once said that for a good speech, “[a]ll you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know.” English actress Kate Winslet’s acceptance speech at the 2023 British Academy of Film and Television Arts Television Awards accomplished just that. Winslet won the award for leading actress for her…

ORLANDO, Fla.—The American Left’s tendency to enforce its ideological speech codes reminds commentator and radio host Dennis Prager of the Soviet oppression of Jews, which he studied in his youth. He calls this phenomenon totalitarian and “nightmarish.” Prager studied Russian in school in order to study communism. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he…

Apparently, conservatives are having an impact. Target—no doubt with an eye to the massive losses Bud Light is experiencing after its partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney—announced it’s going to make some changes to its retail stores' Pride Month product placement and line-up, after significant outcry about its Pride gingerbread houses, onesies, and, oh yes,…

It’s common among the conservative Twitterati to joke that the leftist media really want former President Donald Trump to be the nominee again, assuming—as they did in 2016—that it means doom for the Republicans.
