Former MSNBC ...Read more

Guilt-Tripping Our Way to Self-Destruction
Everywhere we turn, the country looks like it is falling apart. Crime is out of control. Millions of illegal immigrants are pouring across our borders. Our schools are more interested in cultivating gender dysphoria and a proclivity for porn in our children than in educating them. The press routinely censors the truth at the behest of the ...Read more

The Executive Branch Is Deliberately Failing Americans
The president of the United States is the head of the executive branch of the federal government. Among that branch's responsibilities is law enforcement; this is why the president takes the oath of office to "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States," and to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United ...Read more
Standards Can -- And Must -- Be Applied to Everyone
Dr. Claudine Gay has resigned as president of Harvard University. A tepid nonresponse to congressional questioning about opposing antisemitism and calls for genocide of Jewish people on college campuses was enough to doom Liz Magill, former president of the University of Pennsylvania. But Dr. Gay survived that fray, only to be done in by ...Read more
