Commentary South Park’s epic takedown of Harry and Meghan is a welcome relief after three years of the couple’s insufferable exploits during which these privileged two conspire with an adoring media to trash as many old-world values as possible while promoting every superficial cause.

Susan Rice Takes Over Our Federal Government for ‘Equity’

Commentary I had been trying to digest the latest Biden Administration outrage—outright racism in the name of “equity” instituted across our entire federal government led, unsurprisingly, by Benghazi liar Susan Rice—when I came across a telling article by Douglas Murray in The Free Press. Murray recounted the story of Boris Pasternak referencing Shakespeare’s Sonnet 30—“When…
