ByAmy Swearer September 13, 2023April 16, 2026

ByCarson Holloway March 30, 2015April 16, 2026

One of the great ironies of our politics is that the American Civil Liberties Union is now actually hostile to traditional American civil liberties.

How to Protect Free Speech on Campus? Override the Heckler’s Veto.
ByPeter Parisi February 20, 2018April 16, 2026

The irony and hypocrisy are obviously lost on self-styled “anti-fascists” who loudly—and, more often than not, violently—shut down, in fascist fashion, the free speech of others on college campuses. Or maybe they are in fact aware of the hypocrisy and just don’t care about the bad PR optics, because they are so self-righteously convinced of…

Why Democrats Fear the Electoral College
ByDavid Harsanyi March 22, 2019April 16, 2026

The United States isn’t a “democracy.” Though every American should have learned this fact in high school civics class, the smart set still like to ridicule people who point it out—such a cliche and all.
