Montana House Affair Underscores Breakdown in Manners and Respect

Commentary America’s media has been on a feeding frenzy ever since Montana’s transgender-activist-turned-state-legislator Zooey Zephyr created a stir at the expense of traditional decency and decorum in our state capitol. The set-up included a mockery of Christian legislators and their faith, followed by a besiegement of the grounds and the official proceedings of the House…


John Robson: Expelling One Measly Diplomat Is Not Going to Stop Beijing’s Meddling in Our Democracy

Commentary The Trudeau administration finally, grudgingly expelled one communist Chinese diplomat for trying to subvert our democracy. But they sure didn’t look serious about it, which is asking for trouble. I’m not even talking here about their determined efforts not to realize it was happening. But with the prime minister insisting that reports never left…


All Race All the Time

Commentary My Democratic friends don’t like it when I point out that their party was the party of slavery in the 19th century, the party segregation and Jim Crow at the turn of the last century, and the party of neo-segregation now with their support of identity politics, Black Lives Matter, and the philosophy of…


Dr. Phil Blasts Woke Culture, Laments America’s Demise

Commentary Dr. Phil McGraw recently sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Bill Maher.

US Position on Syria Deteriorates

Commentary The U.S. position in the Middle East is weakening quickly. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Syria, where a pro-Russian dictator has waged a brutal civil war against his people with increasing impunity. On May 9, Syria and Saudi Arabia announced they would reopen their embassies in each others’ countries. Previously, the Saudis,…


Sacrificing Success on the ‘Altar of Equity’

Commentary Somewhere around the mid-1960s the conventional conservative model of the English grammar school was finally over-turned by a new-age, liberal-progressive intellectual alliance of “progressive educators.” This shift of power and influence to the left led to changes in education that have had enormous effects on the worldview and behavior of recent generations. Traditional teachers…


Bill Barr Is at Fault in the Unresolved Election of 2020

Commentary In the aftermath of this month’s CNN town hall event with former President Donald Trump—largely viewed, even by the beleaguered network, as a fiasco—it may be time to again examine whether the 2020 presidential election was legitimate. Why? Haven’t we had enough of this? Well, yes, I understand. Time to move on and all…


Bring Back the Clothesline

Commentary Nothing will shake your faith in technology like your first experience of using a clothesline. The clothes are dried with sun and breezes and come out fresh, sanitized, and wonderful.
