Proponents of wokeness have pulled a fast one on all of us. They say they want the same things we want, such as ending racism and extremism. What they don’t say out loud is that they hope to get there not by building some beautiful new society, but by destroying everything in its path. The…

The Department of Veterans Affairs was born of war.

Corporate America: heavy on threats, light on action. After the big blow-up in Georgia, most businesses probably thought they’d scared the daylights out of Republicans by going on MSNBC and ranting against the state’s election law.
