By[email protected] November 10, 2025March 16, 2026

It looks like there’s big, Trump-sized trouble in store for the BBC. On Monday, President Donald Trump threatened the government-funded British Broadcasting Corporation with a $1 billion lawsuit over its broadcasting of an edited version of his speech near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The BBC edit made it look like Trump was directly…

The Humiliating ‘No Kings’ Boycott Failure
By[email protected] November 10, 2025March 16, 2026

It’s only fair to give credit where credit is due. Former Democrats who now comprise the socialist base of that party are very good at inciting people to vent their collective spleen on the streets of America. But that doesn’t mean they know much about other things, particularly when it comes to economic matters. The Indivisible Project—the muscle behind the “No Kings” protests—has a good track record of…

By[email protected] November 10, 2025March 16, 2026

Recently, a United Nations human rights official appeared before a U.N. committee to present her research on the topic of surrogacy. For social conservatives skeptical of anything done by U.N. officials, it was a refreshing change of pace. The report, written by Reem Alsalem, special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, examined surrogacy through…

Federal & State Governments Are Rooting Out DEI & ESG
By[email protected] November 10, 2025March 16, 2026

Following President Donald Trump’s executive orders to root out and eliminate ESG and DEI policies from government agencies and departments, it might be easy to think the war against these destructive ideas is won. Radical leftists are losing voter support for ESG and DEI at the ballot box, in legislative chambers around the country, and in public opinion. But…

By[email protected] November 10, 2025March 16, 2026

Is America about to be hit with a Mamdani-style socialist tidal wave? That’s what more than a few Americans are thinking as the dust settles on the unnerving election of socialist Democrat Zohran Mamdani in New York City. Make no mistake, his faction of the Democratic Party absolutely has momentum after the win. So right…

Trump’s Economic ‘Miracle’ Depends on His Foreign Policy Reset
By[email protected] November 9, 2025March 16, 2026

President Donald Trump’s work on the world stage is directly and inherently connected to our success at home. One of the major media narratives following the recent set of elections that went quite poorly for Republicans is that Trump and the GOP need to focus more on economic and kitchen table issues than on foreign…

Elizabeth Warren’s Forked Tongue: Leftism for Thee, But Not for Me
By[email protected] November 9, 2025March 16, 2026

When Sen. Elizabeth A. Warren recently traveled to the Big Apple to endorse New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, she was asked if overt socialism is really the best model for Democrats to adopt. “You bet,” she replied in her signature folksy style. The Boston lawmaker wasn’t just jumping on the sudden trendiness of…

Western Leaders Unite in Campaign to Silence Conservative Voices Online
By[email protected] November 9, 2025March 16, 2026

In 1965, the guru of the New Left, Herbert Marcuse, penned an essay that neatly brought together both strands of the unitary threat faced today by conservatives defending Western civilization: the threat of online censorship and the threat of street violence. Six decades later, it has come back with renewed force. Titled “Repressive Tolerance,” the essay’s dictates on the…

Transgender Activists Use Far-Left Smear Factory to Cancel Doctor Education Courses That Raise Doubts About ‘Gender-Affirming Care’
By[email protected] November 9, 2025March 16, 2026

Doctors must take continuing medical education courses to maintain their licenses, and transgender activists took objection to one of these courses, leading a nationwide institution to effectively cancel it. Washington State University had spent nearly a year reviewing—and then approving—a course explaining the side effects of experimental transgender medical interventions on children and Europe’s growing…

The Age of Brazen Madness—and the Collapse of Fear

When a 29-year-old man in Minnesota can post a TikTok video allegedly offering $45,000 for the assassination of former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, we can’t dismiss it as another outburst from an online extremist. It’s a symptom of something far deeper—the moral corrosion of our civic life. According to the FBI, Tyler Avalos uploaded…

Bad News for Republicans, Warnings for Both Parties
By[email protected] November 8, 2025March 16, 2026

Virginia and New Jersey, the two states that voted for governor in 2025, both voted for then-Vice President Kamala Harris over then-candidate Donald Trump by 52%-46% margins in 2024. Democrats ran significantly better in both states on Tuesday. One reason is that Trump Republicans, as an increasingly downscale party, see their turnout sag in off…

Don’t Call Mamdani a Commie or Jihadi

Zohran Mamdani surged to an easy victory as the “democratic socialist” mayor of New York City, complete with media enthusiasm that carried echoes of silly Barack Obama love songs. The badly named “mainstream media” earnestly promoted the most extreme candidate. Andrew Cuomo must have felt so betrayed. In 2020, he was the media’s pandemic prince….

Victor Davis Hanson: Does the Democrats’ Chaos Strategy Work?
By[email protected] November 8, 2025April 27, 2026

We can draw a few conclusions from an off-year election, when iconic races in blue states went, as expected, overwhelmingly Democrat. Nevertheless, there is only a year left before the midterms. So, Republicans must react to even these paltry results. 1) Democrats’ chaotic nihilism still works. The chaos strategy causes so much turmoil, noise, and…
