5 Years After His Death, We Need Norm Macdonald More Than Ever

What Conservative Columnist Could Freely Write for The New York Times?
The Left’s perennial scolds of CBS News churned out barrels of umbrage over hiring conservative New York Times columnist Ross Douthat as part of the new team of correspondents at “60 Minutes.” They suggested this was some sort of “desperate” lurch to the right, an obstreperous overthrow of Pelleyesque arrogance on 57th Street. But that created a… -

John Adams Already Refuted the Democratic Socialists of America’s Ideas
The Democratic Socialists of America don’t like being called communists, though many members might echo the sentiment of leftist influencer Hasan Piker when he says, “I don’t have an issue with an end goal of communism.” Yet, however the group self-identifies, its agenda is openly revolutionary.

The Right Cannot Defeat the Left by Abandoning Its Own Principles
The ideological excesses of the American Left are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
