News outlets that typically lean heavily against former President Donald Trump have been breaking ranks to criticize the charges brought against Trump in New York last week. Many note that despite their dislike of the former president, the case against him appears legally weak and politically motivated. Meanwhile, Trump’s legal team has laid out its…
LIVE 4/10, at 10:30 AM ET: Left-Leaning Media Break Ranks to Criticize Trump Charges as Defense Lays Out Strategy for Case
Our French Revolution
Commentary We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793–94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary. The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020. It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority…
Anarcho-Tyranny Unleashed in the United States
Commentary The terms anarchy and tyranny seem like they are in contradiction. Anarchy means no state. Tyranny means nothing but state. What possibly could anarcho-tyranny mean? It’s a phrase coined by the right-Hegelian political theorist Samuel Francis, whose dark worldview was never my cup of tea, to say the least. Even so, he was insightful,…
The Left’s Little Financial Engine That Could (Change the World Radically)
Amalgamated Bank, with just five branches across three cities, and a market value lower than the net worth of many an individual hedge fund honcho, would seem an unlikely mover and shaker in the world of Wall Street, let alone Washington, D.C. Yet last fall, it successfully pressured colossal credit card companies Visa, Mastercard, and…
How the Left Became What It Once Hated
Commentary In the final scenes of the book and film “The Hunger Games,” Katniss Everdeen has the opportunity finally to kill the hated dictator President Snow, but instead turns her bow on the leader of the rebellion armies, namely President Coin. The plot twist is remarkable because it adds an element of realistic complexity to…
Why Many Conservatives Won’t Be With Their Children or Grandchildren This Christmas
Commentary There are probably hundreds of thousands of men and women who, because of political differences, maintain minimal or no contact with their parents and, even more cruelly, do not allow their parents to have any contact with their children—their parents’ grandchildren. Probably an unprecedented number of Americans with grown children will be alone this…
CNN CEO Chris Licht Takes Aim at ‘Vitriol’ From Left Amid Effort to Make Network Less Partisan
CNN CEO Chris Licht has taken aim at the “vitriol” directed at him from liberals over changes that have been made at the network since he took over earlier this year, calling it “stunning.” Licht took over CNN in May after President Jeff Zucker abruptly resigned in February following an investigation into former anchor Chris Cuomo’s…
Will Secular Conservatives Have Conservative Grandchildren?
Commentary Secular conservatives have done, and continue to do, great work on behalf of America, liberty, and conservatism in general. But they will not likely have conservative grandchildren—and many will not have conservative children. I know this because I speak with hundreds of conservatives a year in person and on the radio. I routinely ask…
The Left’s Cynical ‘Speech Is Violence’ Ploy
Commentary This week, another evil mass shooter unleashed horror at a gay club in Colorado Springs, killing 5 and wounding another 25. The shooter—whose name I refuse to mention in order to disincentivize future shooters, who seek notoriety—was clearly mentally ill: Just last year, the shooter reportedly threatened his mother with a bomb, resulting in…
Young Americans Voted to Ruin Their Lives
Commentary This week, The New York Times published a column by a left-wing academic (forgive the redundancy), John Della Volpe, director of polling at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics. In his first sentence, Mr. Della Volpe reveals his politics. He described young Americans as “stressed and sickened by thoughts of their rights and…
