Rob Henderson’s memoir “Troubled” demonstrates why it’s not enough for a writer to dwell on the problems that afflict a person and his community. Henderson should now turn his focus to what makes him, and his circle, blessed.
The ultimate aim of the Jacobins prosecuting and disbarring lawyers who represent high-profile Republican clients is the subordination of the rule of law and cowing into submission political opposition.

A much-touted study on the effects of minimum wage is really a study in confirmation bias.
Historical circumstances make realignments inescapable and attempts to define “conservatism” apart from an understanding of these shifts results in wild mischaracterizations.
Bilingual education creates linguistic chaos in the classroom, and it is failing nearly everywhere it is tried.
Women learned during the COVID vaccine mandates that pharmaceutical companies are willing to sacrifice their reproductive health for profits. Now they are questioning the health risks of birth control pills, and big pharma has summoned its media allies to silence them.
A state in which people are essentially free to plunder the property of their neighbors is in a state of war. And when the legal system tips the scales of justice in favor of the pillagers, it becomes a kind of institutionalized tyranny.
Weakening House committees had the paradoxical effect of concentrating power in leadership and making the speaker more important in setting the majority’s policy direction—which only turned the speaker into the focus of every member’s discontent and created stronger opposition to him within the party.
Now more than ever, Americans need to recognize the difference between childish whining, which should never be indulged, and the necessary kind of complaining that’s required of citizens when something is evil or unjust.

Note to the hyper-online: Sometimes a so-called conspiracy theory is just an actual conspiracy theory.
In what amounts to election interference and dilution of the franchise for citizens, sanctuary communities are allowing and even encouraging participation of noncitizens in their local and municipal elections. Citizens need to speak out now before it’s too late.
At MSNBC Ronna McDaniel is out and Al Sharpton in. One man’s “election denier” is another man’s media host.
Christine Blasey Ford’s Kavanaugh hoax put both the justice and Mark Judge through the mill. We owe Judge a chance to try to rebuild his life.
Signs of imperial decline have become common in the U.S.. That Baltimore’s collapsed bridge takes its name from the author of our national anthem is sadly poetic.
Favoring intruders over owners constitutes a "taking" that violates the Fifth Amendment, which says government cannot impinge on your right to your property. But squatters are turning up across the country anyway.
The Trump team is steadily purging the Republican leadership of holdovers from past decades. The departure of McCarthy, McDaniel, and McConnell is part of exorcising the legacy of a more important “Mc” whose influence is still felt in the U.S. Senate: John McCain.
There’s more than one way the GOP could wind up with a New York-Florida ticket this November.
No one has yet explained how Trump would end “democracy,” but as usual for the left, it seems to be a case of projection.
The lives of the babushkas in Chernobyl are evidence that God exists everywhere, and that while destruction can often reign supreme, creation, however small, affirms our propensity for the good.
Americans have come to see the government as a purveyor of misinformation, not a trusted speech referee. A case now before the Supreme Court reinforces that perception.
Republican voters have every right to assume bad faith from Democrats and their vote-counters, who have unscrupulously tried to increase their party’s power while behaving unethically toward electoral opponents.
If Trump really wants to hit a home run, and if he wants to pick the man most in touch with this American moment, then it has to be J.D. Vance.
One thing I learned from my ordeal in the limelight of the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations is that the truth is always more complicated than the narrative.
Christine Blasey Ford is out with a memoir no one asked for about her experience testifying against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Her unconvincing story remains the same, but her face appears to be the beneficiary of her substantial cash windfalls.
Events in Ukraine cannot help but remind observers of the haunting events of the spring of 1914.
Only New York has a "right to shelter," and it makes the city the top destination for migrants.
By abandoning its traditional motto of “Duty, Honor, Country,” West Point has given into the liberalizing trend within American society. As Samuel Huntington warned, to remain effective a military must maintain an ethos distinct from the liberal society it defends.
The tabloid interest in the princess’s health, is also punctuated by genuine sympathy on the part of many Brits, who see the royal family as the nation's family, too. But that's not how it should be with our elected leaders.
German police and teachers harassed a 16-year-old schoolgirl for posting a harmless video featuring the Smurfs and about a conservative political in that country. In Germany, left-wing thought-control has replaced freedom of speech.
Trump’s best chance in 2024 is to ignore the noise and prove, contrary to the smear campaigns, that he is the superior candidate in terms of competence, stability, and sanity.
We can’t live in the past, but we should minimize our overexposure to online technology.
The world, and U.S. citizens in particular, need a serious America. But thanks to our government’s refusal to secure our border, the idea of America being a serious country is a relic of a bygone era.
The issue facing Biden and his party is not whether to call Ibarra “illegal,” “undocumented” or a “newcomer,” but whether they intend to protect Americans from gang members.
Too many Republicans still believe that running interference for big business is the same thing as preserving and defending liberty. They completely miss the ways that corporations have become the hand inside the sock puppet of big government.
Because we have unburdened our political rhetoric from authentic Christianity and our Constitution from the necessity of reflecting our consent, we are burdened instead by empty language and forms now used to enslave us.
Biden knows what he has to do to win—but the educated whites who are the backbone of his party have little in common, culturally or economically, with the lower-class whites whose interest is in work, not woke.
Black actors and authors are still ignored in Hollywood—including some with very revealing stories to tell.
This is what happens to leaders who despise their voters and whose contempt for the culture, faith, and heritage of their people is palpable and overpowering—to the point that such leaders cannot contain themselves.
