The Final Choice: Civilizational Arson Versus Civilizational Sanity
Every four years, we hear a refrain that the presidential election before us is the "most important election of our lifetimes." This line is reflexively repeated by pundits, talkers and thinkers on both sides of the American political divide, and that repetition always engenders a great deal of backlash. We are reliably informed that our ...Read more
Donald Trump, Class Traitor Par Excellence
If there is one data point above all that suggests Donald Trump and JD Vance are headed for a resounding victory on Nov. 5, it is this: By a nearly 40-point margin in the polling average, Americans are more inclined to believe the country is currently on the wrong track than the right track. There are other reasons to believe the 45th ...Read more
The Collapse of Kamala Harris
On July 26, in the aftermath of the Democratic Party's ruthless midsummer coup of their own democratically elected presidential nominee, this column predicted that the elevation of dimwitted cackler-in-chief Kamala Harris to the party's presidential slot would "spectacularly backfire." More specifically, I wrote: "Practically, the path to ...Read more
One Year After Oct. 7, American Voters Face Stark Foreign Policy Choice
Within minutes of Hamas jihadists breaching the Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, and commencing the largest slaughter of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Western leftists and other defenders of the genocidal Palestinian-Arab cause rallied around a talking point: "This did not occur in a vacuum." The claim, blithely offered by armchair ...Read more
The Amy Wax Inflection Point for 'Elite' Higher Education
Higher education has been a cesspool of anti-Americanism, censorious leftism and cultural radicalism for longer than I have been alive. The moral rot is, and always has been, particularly acute at Ivy League or otherwise putatively "elite" institutions. The pro-Hamas "protests" that have rocked university campuses since Oct. 7 are indicative: ...Read more
Why Are the Nutjobs Trying to Kill Political Opponents All Left-Wingers?
In Aug. 2012, a left-wing MSNBC afficionado named Floyd Lee Corkins armed himself with a handgun and extra magazines. He drove to the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the socially conservative Family Research Council, planning to shoot it up. Corkins, who later cited the Southern Poverty Law Center for the proposition that the FRC is an "anti...Read more
Do Republicans Still Buy Sneakers Too?
In 1990, in the midst of a heated -- and racially charged -- U.S. Senate race in North Carolina between Republican incumbent Jesse Helms and Democratic challenger Harvey Gantt, Chicago Bulls superstar guard Michael Jordan issued one of his most famous lines. Jordan, who grew up in Wilmington, North Carolina, and won a national championship in ...Read more
Jack Smith, Democrat-Lawfare Complex Hit Man
The modern Democratic Party operates like a Mafia family. Like the Mob, Democrats have a specific organizational hierarchy. There are the grand bosses who sit atop the entire food chain, such as the Obamas and the Clintons. There are the trusted consiglieres, such as Attorney General Merrick Garland and outside super-lawyer Marc Elias. There ...Read more
No One Is Buying It
No one is buying what Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party are selling these days.
Earlier this week, on the opening night of the demonic confab in Chicago that Democrats call their national convention, the outgoing commander-in-chief explicitly denied that he was "angry at all those people" who said he should "step down" ...Read more
Republicans Must Make a Laser-Focused, Issues-Based Case to the People
One of my favorite bits of ancient wisdom, which I have quoted many times over the years, is the Chinese military theorist Sun Tzu's adage that a battle is won before it is fought because it is won by choosing the terrain on which it is fought. Accordingly, as I noted in a column a few months ago: "If former President Donald Trump and other ...Read more
Kamala Harris and the Civilizational Jihad of Democratic Street Thuggery
On Jan. 21, 2017, hundreds of thousands of feminists wearing pink "pussyhats" protested the prior day's presidential inauguration of Donald Trump by rampaging throughout Washington, D.C. The "Women's March on Washington," an extension of the riots and protests that shook the capital on Inauguration Day itself, was not exactly a peaceful affair...Read more
