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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The actress’s frankness about her regrets over participating in this turkey of a film is a breath of fresh air. It’s a cause to be hopeful that studios will learn that there are penalties for choosing to relegate art to the algorithms.
One of the great ironies of our present age is that democracy’s would-be eponymous outfit, the Democratic Party, has become an enemy of democracy itself.
That things could get ugly and fast explains why it was imperative for the Supreme Court to rule as it did in the Colorado ballot case—and to do so unanimously.
Parents who don’t want their children to be subject to the ever-changing winds of today’s left-wing therapeutic culture will have to make the word “sacrifice” part of their vocabulary.
Following Monday’s ruling on the Colorado ballot case, the Supreme Court is likely to only hear cases that can be resolved with the support of the liberal justices, while avoiding those that expose the Court’s the political divisions.
Freedom House sees election corruption everywhere except in the U.S., where the government pays its bills, and the legal system coordinates with the administration to impoverish and imprison the conservative opposition.
If Trump loses outright on the immunity issue, he will have himself to blame. He had the opportunity to nominate three Thomas/Alito-esque stalwarts. He whiffed.
Switzerland provides a model for a morally neutral foreign policy based on pragmatic interests rather than “defining values” and self-proclaimed exceptionality. Americans need to learn from the Swiss.
Whether he realizes it or not, Jon Stewart is the very thing he accuses Tucker Carlson of being: a toady for an oligarchy, but one right here in America.
The current immigration crisis has been called an invasion by many, but it is the result of a deluded sense of obligation to the rest of the world at the expense of our own families and communities.
Kamala Harris wants to be president, ran for the job in 2020 and probably expected Biden, at some point after defeating former President Donald Trump, to hand her the baton before November 2024.
Cases like the one involving Laken Riley cause us gradually to acquiesce to a new, less safe America where social trust is becoming a thing of the past.
