The Democrats' 2020 Victory Was a Blessing in Disguise!
I never imagined I would think, let alone write, that the Democratic Party's victory in 2020 was a blessing. But for those of us -- meaning, it is now clear, a majority of us -- who regard the Left as an entirely destructive force in America as it is everywhere else in the world, 2020 may well have turned out to be a blessing.

Calling Trump 'Hitler' Has Done Permanent Damage to the Moral Realm!
It may be impossible to overstate the damage done to morality by the Democrats and other leftists calling Donald Trump a fascist and a Nazi and declaring him "Hitler."
Asked by Anderson Cooper on CNN if she believes Trump is a "fascist," Kamala Harris said, "Yes, I do."

Julie Hartman, a 24-year-old woman with whom I do a weekly podcast ("Dennis & Julie"), described the anti-Israel world perfectly: A vast number of people suffer from Israel Derangement Syndrome.
The description is, of course, based on the widely cited "Trump Derangement Syndrome," which supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris and the ...Read more
Young Women Embracing the Left Demonstrate Their Lack of Wisdom!
Last week, The New York Times featured an article titled: "How the Last Eight Years Made Young Women More Liberal."
According to every poll, since 2016 there has been an unprecedented political/social gender gap between young American women and men.
Here is how the Times reported it:
"In 2001, young men and women had similar political ...Read more
