Teachers unions across America have defended members from termination for virtually every imaginable kind of misconduct. The unions defended teachers for illegal marijuana use and intoxication on the job. They defended teachers who stole money, had excessive absences, or otherwise abused their position. They defended teachers who had pornographic materials in the classroom. They defended…

Some might claim that Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal is part of his “right-wing media machine,” but not when it comes to the news pages. The front page on May 25 included an article headlined “Target Is in Bull’s-Eye Of the Culture Wars.” Inside the paper, it’s “Culture Wars Snare Target.” One of the most…

ORLANDO, Fla.—The Left’s tendency to redefine words to silence dissent is a clear tactic of totalitarianism, and conservatives need to fight back, a prominent conservative leader warns. “They play with words. They played with the word ‘marriage.’ Now, they’re playing with the words ‘man’ and ‘woman,’” and that “ultimately leads to totalitarianism,” Michael Farris, founder…

The return to civilian life can be an extreme challenge for men and women who have served in the military, veteran Jim Lorraine says. “What you have to understand, when you move from the military back into the civilian world, you’re really not just changing a job, you’re changing a culture,” explains Lorraine, president of…

As a conservative journalist working in the belly of the beast that is Washington, D.C., and mostly focused on shining a light on what's going wrong in America, I find it all too easy to forget that there's a lot going right, especially outside the capital city I affectionately call "Mordor."

Sen. Tim Scott is running for president of the United States. “Love, unconditional love, binds hearts together,” he declared Monday. While Democrats, not surprisingly, oppose the South Carolina Republican on most issues, they refuse to acknowledge that his announcement’s warm reception among Republicans shows that black Americans Have Overcome or, at least, Are Overcoming.

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. A relatively new, but growing media genre highlights that dynamic. Over the past few years, there have been a growing number of national media stories—really, more like partisan exposés, rather than “X, Y, Z happened”—about…

ORLANDO, Fla.—A “doctrine of demons” is invading Christian churches across America, twisting the Bible to advance leftist ideologies that divide people, warns a pastor and author of the book “Woke Jesus: The False Messiah Destroying Christianity.” “I think it is a doctrine of demons,” Lucas Miles, pastor of Nfluence Church in Granger, Indiana, told “The…
