Opinion and commentary on news, politics, culture, and policy impact.
It’s ironic, isn’t it? The modern feminist movement began as a cry for liberation—yet in recent years, it seems to have circled right back to restriction. The script has flipped, and instead of championing real choice, mainstream feminism is now dictating which choices are acceptable, rewarding women not for excellence but for optics. Many women…
When Dr. Eithan Haim blew the whistle on illegal sex-change procedures for minors at the Texas Children’s Hospital, the Biden administration weaponized the Justice Department to silence him, plunging Haim and his wife into than $1 million in debt. By contrast, had Haim shed light on the gender transitions that violated Texas law under the…
Jack Blanchard at Politico’s Playbook newsletter made the leftists angry by praising President Donald Trump’s energetic availability to the press. While CBS star Scott Pelley wailed at a college commencement that they are “the fierce defenders of democracy,” “the seekers of truth” and “the vanguard against ignorance,” Trump grants them access. Blanchard wrote on May…
The liberal media viscerally hate anything the Donald Trump administration is doing to defund the federal government pushing leftist ideology and squashing conservative counterpoints. One major field has been “misinformation research,” in which professors equate conservative arguments with falsehoods. In the Joe Biden years, “misinformation” experts at major universities worked with the federal government and…

Salvadoran MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being returned to the United States after the Department of Justice demanded he be tried on criminal charges, including human trafficking. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., humiliates his party. Democrat members of Congress have taken their biggest opportunity to look good in months and…
This week, the Supreme Court tossed out the Mexican government’s lawsuit against seven major U.S. gun manufacturers, holding that a federal statute called the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act barred Mexico from filing the lawsuit in the first place. In the suit in question, Mexico alleged the gun companies were civilly liable for…
In recent years, a trip to a Target department store on June 1 was the only reminder needed that the month is dedicated to celebrating “gay pride,” but not so this year. Instead of a prominent display of chest binders and swimsuits designed for “tucking” private parts, as seen at Target in the summer of…
In past years, Pride Month has taken on an almost religious significance for the Left. But a week into June, many of its heroes have yet to post about it on X. Eight superstars of the Left, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Ma. and former President Barack Obama, have not posted about Pride Month on X….
The spiteful open-borders legacy of Joe Biden will plague America for generations to come, long after the former president is a fading bad memory. Somewhere between 10-12 million foreign nationals are believed to have entered the U.S. illegally under his watch, to add to the existing 12-20 million illegal aliens. Almost all were unaudited. They…
It was a few minutes before 10 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, June 6, 1944, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt began his radio broadcast to an anxious nation. Earlier that day, he had held a press conference for 180 reporters about the D-Day invasion. About its scale and seriousness. Special editions of newspapers across the…
With all the “he-said-she-said” over President Joe Biden’s failing mind and the “politburo” (their word, not ours) that was making all the executive branch decisions in his stead, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia have been in the news lately. But what if we were actually able to take a giant leap forward in curing the Alzheimer’s…
“Let’s talk about the deficit.” That is what Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor on Monday, June 2. “For years, Republicans screamed about fiscal responsibility. But now Republicans are backing a bill that could add over $50 trillion to the national debt over 30 years,” Schumer claimed—without citing a source—in…
The U.S. Navy desperately needs help. Today, it maintains fewer than 300 ships—a staggering fall from the 1,200 it boasted at the end of World War II. The shipbuilding industry is in similar lackluster condition, having been in decline for decades. Currently, the Navy operates only four shipyards, with all others having closed. Those that…
Today, a case study on the hypocrisy and self-absorption of the Left in both the entertainment and news industries. Last week, stage legend Patti LuPone called for the Kennedy Center to get “blown up” because of President Donald Trump’s involvement. Not just once, but several times. “She is even angrier at the rest of the…
In a welcome move, President Donald Trump signaled he’s going after the truth about what was happening—and who was running the show—during Joe Biden’s presidency. Trump signed an executive order Wednesday mandating an investigation into “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of…
Former head of the Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are no longer the best of friends. We walk through the timeline and then answer the question no one else seems to be asking: What does that mean for the American people? Who’s right? Who’s wrong? And what do other Republicans…
Catholic Charities performs religious works, according to a unanimous Supreme Court decision in Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission. Was that really so hard? Apparently not. Per Justice Sonia Sotomayor, author of the majority opinion, “There may be hard calls to make” where the free exercise of religion is concerned, “but…
The Supreme Court handed down three blockbuster rulings Thursday focused on hot-button cultural issues, and all three of them went in the conservative direction. That’s not exactly a surprise—the court has a conservative majority, after all. The first real surprise was that the rulings were unanimous. The second real surprise? Each of the court’s three…
On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department finally did what every prior administration (including Trump 1.0) for the past three decades refused to do—enforced the federal immigration law that bans states from providing in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless they provide the same benefit to citizen-students from any state. That same day, Texas cried…
