This Anti-Christian Group May Be Out of Power Now, But Its Popularity Among Dems Bodes Ill for the Future
By[email protected] December 15, 2025April 22, 2026

Even a year later, it’s hard to wrap your head around the upside-down world of the Biden administration: The White House celebrated transgender ideology on Easter Sunday, your tax dollars funded the settlement of immigrants who broke the law to come here, and authorities turned to an Antifa-linked group whose “hate map” inspired an act…

More Tax on Tips: Blue States Undercutting New Federal Tax Cuts
By[email protected] December 15, 2025April 22, 2026

Filthy, vile, and disgusting. And I would add: reprehensible, repulsive, and rebarbative. These words perfectly describe the latest Democrat scheme to shaft industrious, economically embattled Americans, all so that the Left can get President Donald Trump. There are no depths too low for Democrats to dig to hurt this president. They were at Sub-basement Level 14 and have now jackhammered their…

What Do We Do About China?
By[email protected] December 14, 2025April 22, 2026

The United States is confronting an existential threat—but not the kind defined by ships on the horizon or missiles in the air. The danger instead stems from a waning sense of national purpose and a growing doubt about America’s global role. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the emerging geopolitical alignment linking China, Russia…

Wikipevil?
By[email protected] December 14, 2025April 22, 2026

Wikipedia is “Wokepedia,” complains Elon Musk. That’s because it’s become so left-wing. “It’s designed to push an ideological agenda that you can’t see,” says journalist Ashley Rindsberg in my new video. He runs “Neutral Point of View,” a Substack publication that exposes Wikipedia bias. “So what if its’ biased?” I ask. “It’s just one website.” “Wikipedia’s…

Trump Can’t Insult Reporters When They Go After Him?
By[email protected] December 14, 2025April 22, 2026

People magazine and former Washington Post reporter Paul Farhi have made separate lists of insults President Donald Trump has recently lobbed at female reporters. It doesn’t matter how the journalists behaved because apparently, women can’t possibly be ill-mannered in press conferences. Or they think you can’t possibly be as rude as Trump. The list of…

Cry the Beloved Europe?
By[email protected] December 14, 2025April 22, 2026

Nothing bothers the European elite as much as American conservatives praising the European foundations of their shared, but threatened, Western civilization. Europeans especially resent having their social-welfare state system critiqued by upstart, crass Americans. Their pique only increases as they push back against the condescending American idea that the U.S. could possibly offer any constructive…

A Hanukkah Lesson for America: Without Our Roots, the Tree of Liberty Dies
By[email protected] December 14, 2025April 28, 2026

As Jews around the world light Hanukkah menorahs this week, they commemorate what may be the most explicitly Zionist holiday in the Jewish calendar. The story of Hanukkah recounts the Maccabean Revolt of the second century B.C.E. After the Seleucid Greeks sought to suppress Jewish religious practice and identity, Jews fought to reclaim sovereignty in…

Recently in The Wall Street Journal, Neera Tanden, CEO of the Center for American Progress, a major foghorn in our nation’s capital for America’s Left, explained “Why Democrats Won the Shutdown.” The most accurate declaration in the article is “fights tell the country a lot about what—and who—the fighters care about.” And, indeed, there should…

AWAY WITH THE MANGER: How the Left Tries to Weaponize Christmas Against Trump
By[email protected] December 14, 2025April 22, 2026

This year, Catholics in Massachusetts are protesting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies by swapping “Away in a Manger” for “Away With the Manger.” This marks yet another instance of Trump opponents weaponizing the Christmas story to demonize immigration enforcement by claiming Jesus was a refugee and suggesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement would have arrested and…

Don’t Go Wobbly on China
By[email protected] December 13, 2025April 22, 2026

As the sun rises on a new Trump-era geopolitical chapter, Washington confronts a defining choice: Will America view the People’s Republic of China and its regnant Communist Party through the rose-colored lens of transaction and diplomacy, or will it soberly recognize Beijing as America’s foremost geopolitical adversary in a multigenerational cold war? The stakes could…

By[email protected] December 13, 2025April 22, 2026

WASHINGTON—Two California Democrats could run for president in 2028: Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Republican operatives must be thinking: Bring it on. Under Newsom, California’s image has become less golden than it used to be. The high cost of living has taken a toll. The IRS announced last month that California…

New ‘Hate Speech’ Bill Targets Canadians’ Freedom of Speech and Religion
By[email protected] December 13, 2025April 22, 2026

Left-wing Canadian lawmakers are working to introduce a new bill that would end existing protections for people of faith against prosecution under national “hate speech” laws. Canada’s Criminal Code, which bans what the government deems “hatred against any identifiable group,” contains a so-called religious exemption that protects Canadians who “in good faith” cite religious texts…

Why Rescheduling Cannabis Is a Very Bad Idea
By[email protected] December 13, 2025April 23, 2026

As of Friday, President Donald Trump is considering signing an executive order which would reclassify cannabis (marijuana) from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA) to Schedule III. That unprecedented action would allow physicians to prescribe cannabis to treat patients’ medical ailments. The president’s decision to reschedule marijuana would be a mistake…

Speculation swirls over New York City’s incoming socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani and whether he will be “rational” or a radical once he’s in office. While that matter is yet to be settled, a review of Mamdani’s transition team indicates that, at the moment, it may be best to bet on radical or maybe just wildly…

Big Pharma’s High Prices Are Its Own Decision—and the Government’s Fault
By[email protected] December 13, 2025April 22, 2026

For years, pharmaceutical executives have insisted that drug prices are out of their hands. Government red tape, research costs, and reimbursement rules are all offered as explanations for why Americans pay more at the pharmacy counter than anyone else in the developed world. It’s a tidy narrative. It’s also only half-true—pharma could easily drop its…

During oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor threatened America with a good time, warning that the administration is “asking us to destroy the structure of government.” Great. It’s about time an unaccountable fourth branch of the state was decimated. Trump v. Slaughter revolves around the president’s ability to fire executive…
