No, the World Would Not Be a Better Place If Women Ran It
Frankly, I always thought that sentiment was ridiculous in the first place. Anyone who went through middle school, junior high or high school knows full well the kind of nasty behavior that females are capable of.
But there's garden-variety "mean girl," "queen bee" snark, and then there is the outrageous lunacy that we've witnessed of late.

Cal Thomas: What’s in a name?
As part of Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada that the administration claims isn’t a trade war, the president has signed an executive order, renaming Lake Ontario, “Lake America.” This follows his renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
These childish antics help no one, but Trump is not alone in changing names...Read more
The 'Gaza Genocide' Is a Hoax
In May 2025, Tom Fletcher, the United Nations under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, went on BBC Radio and told the audience that 14,000 babies in Gaza were going to die "in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them."
According to UNICEF, there are around 20,000 babies in the entirety of Gaza. Which means 70% of all infants were ...Read more
Which Candidates Will Drive Up Cost of Credit
It's midterms crunch time, so we are hearing endless political promises from all candidates. My hope is that with so much talk about affordability and economic growth, a voter or two would raise their hand and ask about price controls and credit card caps.
These might seem such minuscule topics to interpret some political grandstanding and ...Read more
2026 Echoes of 9/11
A quarter of a century has passed since Al Qaeda's hideous Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The 25th anniversary is an appropriate moment to reflect on that horror's historical impacts.
The morning of the attack, I was outlining a "futurist" column addressing new space-based weapons programs and the increasing militarization of space. My wife ...Read more
Time to Defeat the Legal Jihad Against 9/11 Families
As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 nears, the biggest disgrace is that the attack's evil mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has not been tried and sentenced to death.
Blame the American Civil Liberties Union, in large part, for this injustice. The ACLU intervened at the start, insisting that the two military lawyers assigned to defend Mohammed ...Read more
Rent Control ... Still Doesn't Work
In 2022, politicians in Minneapolis and St. Paul voted for rent control.
I said that would lead to bigger problems.
Was I right?
My update video reveals what happened.
St. Paul politicians pushed rent control, saying rent caps would stop "unfair profiteering."
But what the heck is "profiteering," and how is it different from "profit"? Who...Read more
State Department: Chinese Communist Party Is Committing Genocide
The U.S. Department of State is unambiguously stating that the Chinese Communist Party is committing genocide.
On Aug. 27, this writer sent some questions to the State Department Office of Press Operations through its online portal for media inquiries. One of these questions was: "Has the State Department concluded that China is continuing to...Read more
The 'Public' Broadcasters Go Soft on Hasan Piker
Just like the networks spent months helpfully skipping over the Nazi tattoo on the chest of Maine Democrat Graham Platner, they have largely ignored radical leftist influencer Hasan Piker, who has campaigned with Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. ABC and NBC haven't found him, while CBS broke the mold with two stories.
The "PBS News Hour" ...Read more
Stop the Democrats' Scheme to Pack the Supreme Court
Democrats are in a quandary over the Supreme Court. Every four years, they've warned their voters that electing a Republican president will lead to more conservative Supreme Court justices. And yet since Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 through today, they've lost more presidential elections than they've won. Maybe the voters are telling ...Read more
Trump’s Canadian problems keep getting worse
PARIS — U.S. President Donald Trump has a talent for finding political landmines like a pig sniffs out truffles. Then promptly blowing himself up with them. Repeatedly. He keeps picking fights with Canada that inadvertently create more leverage against himself.
Trump reacted to Canada walking away from his generous offer of vassalization and ...Read more
Arthurdale's New Deal Experiment, and the Debate Over Socialism
ARTHURDALE, West Virginia -- The road into this quiet Preston County community gives little warning that it was once the setting for one of the New Deal's most ambitious, and most debated, experiments.
Ninety-three years ago, Arthurdale became the first experimental community established under the federal subsistence-homesteads program, an ...Read more
Cal Thomas: A message for men over 50
The diagnosis was not a surprise – well, yes it was, because like many men with a health issue we try to deny it, or delay treatment when everyone knows that “early detection” is critical to a cure.
My PSA (prostate-specific antigen) had been slowly creeping upward for the...Read more
The Rarity of Freedom
This well-known rhetorical flourish at the beginning of the Declaration of Independence needs closer consideration.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," it states.
Look...Read more
El-Sayed's Insane Circumcision Analogy
"Sex changes for minors. Do you support that?" Fox News host Jesse Watters recently asked Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
"So you think it's OK for a parent to slash his kid's ding-a-ling off?" Watters finally interjects.
"Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed asked.
"Circumcision's different than castration," Watters shot back....Read more
Clarence Thomas Played the Long Game. He Won.
An important new book by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), "Going Further," calls attention anew to the life and career of the single greatest living American, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
For many years after Thomas arrived on the court in the early 1990s, his conservative, originalist views were relegated to dissenting opinions. Three and ...Read more
Our Broken Trust
In April of 2020, San Clemente, Calif., dumped 37 tons of sand into a skate park to keep teenagers out of it. Down the coast, deputies arrested a man for paddleboarding alone in the Pacific Ocean. Towns unbolted basketball rims. The mayor of Los Angeles told Angelenos that snitches get rewards, and, God help us, people snitched. Then Gavin ...Read more
Democrats Try to Brush Aside 'Woke 1'
"'Woke 1' was crazy." So said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on ABC News' "This Week" earlier this month.
She said she was quoting New York City Councilman Chi Osse, whom The New York Times characterizes as "far left." This was where Ocasio-Cortez seemed to be located on the ideological spectrum after her surprise defeat of House ...Read more
Twilight's Last Gleaming
There is a point in the decline of republics when the problem is no longer that government breaks its own laws. Governments will always behave unlawfully. The deeper problem comes when the constitutional machinery designed to prevent those acts stops functioning -- when spending becomes detached from arithmetic, presidential power becomes ...Read more
The Jeffries-Kushner Meeting Reveals More Than Either Party Will Admit
Private meetings in Washington often speak more loudly than public speeches. The recent meeting between House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and influential outside adviser, is one of those moments.
The two New Yorkers reportedly discussed immigration, housing, affordability and possible...Read more
