The school district of Loudoun County, Virginia, may have made the headlines for aggressively pushing far-left content onto students, including pornography and critical race theory, but other districts throughout the country are no better off. At the Santa Barbara Unified School District in California, teachers are given a plethora of politically radical resources that they…

In September 2020, January Littlejohn went to pick up her 13-year-old daughter from middle school. Littlejohn is a stay-at-home mother to three children and a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. So when her daughter informed her that the school administration had begun encouraging her to identify as transgender, Littlejohn was shocked. Littlejohn’s daughter told…

COVID-19 is not to blame for four-decade-high inflation and an unprecedented labor shortage. Rather, bad government policies, originally enacted as part of a stated attempt to keep people safe from COVID-19, are to blame. Instead of keeping people safe, government policies are doing more harm than good to public health and well-being and restricting the…

It’s past time for the dominant media to “show up” and report on a special counsel’s court filings alleging political espionage targeting Donald Trump before and after he became president and instigated by the Hillary Clinton campaign, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., says. “The media just went along with the Democrat narrative [claiming collusion between Trump…

The biggest threat facing Middle-earth is no longer Sauron or Morgoth, but Jeff Bezos.  Amazon released a trailer for its new “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” series during the Super Bowl, and the product advertised doesn’t inspire confidence. The series is set long before Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring…

Canada is leaving the Western world. In terms of all-encompassing government, suppression of dissent, and the denial of fundamental human rights to many of its citizens, Canada is now more similar to Cuba than to any free country. Canada may eventually return to Western civilization, but as of this writing, the majority of Canadians appear…

It is usually Republicans who blast the media for what they consider biased or unfair coverage of their policies, but increasingly we are hearing Democrats engaging in the same behavior, apparently frustrated their agenda is not being embraced by some of their fellow Democrats and the public. Last week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams,…

When she was a little girl, Winsome Sears emigrated to America from Jamaica. Years later, she chose to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps because, she says, “America had always been good to my family and me.”  Today, Sears is again serving her adopted country, this time as Virginia’s lieutenant governor. She made history when…

A single month determined the course of the 20th century. That’s what historian Craig Shirley writes about in his newest book, “April 1945: The Hinge of History.” It’s Shirley’s follow-up to “December 1941,” in which the author and political consultant recounted stories from the lives of leaders and everyday Americans during the attack on Pearl…

A new group of thinkers and activists calling themselves national conservatives believe American politics and policy questions increasingly invite a national approach. They seek to combat the left’s attempt to bury our constitutional order and replace it with a matrix of identity politics, vast social spending, and other objectives. Chris DeMuth, a leader of the…

Imagine that a well-respected federal prosecutor’s courtroom filing revealed the following:  Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign paid a pro-GOP law firm to hire technical experts to hack Democratic opponent Barack Obama’s computer servers at his home, office, and campaign headquarters. They sought evidence that Obama was born in Kenya and thus, disqualified for the presidency….

Ukraine isn’t the only foreign policy crisis the U.S. is facing. After months of negotiations, the Biden administration may be on the verge of restoring the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (aka the Iran nuclear deal), with no chance of replacing it with a “longer and stronger” deal, as the administration promised. Doing so is…

In Canada, first the doxxing, then the struggle session. This week, one of the most popular small-donor fundraising sites for the Canadian truckers protesting the COVID-19 vaccine mandates, GiveSendGo, was hacked. The names of donors were shared with the public. We know about this mostly because erstwhile news organizations, such as Reuters, have showered attention…

The passing of P.J. O’Rourke caught many of his longtime readers by surprise. At 74, he kept his battle with lung cancer completely private—so private, in fact, that for many hours after the news of his death first began to filter out on social media, many people questioned if it was actually true. After a…

On Jan. 5, at least eight historically black colleges and universities received bomb threats, causing the campuses to issue lockdowns and cancel classes.
