The Crime of ‘Talking to Tucker Carlson’

Commentary The whole world is commenting on and speculating about the abrupt departure of former Fox commentator Tucker Carlson from that network. Addressing the current moment is not my intent. I have no idea what the “inside story” is on the events related to Fox’s or Carlson’s decisions. Mr. Carlson is wisely being deliberative regarding…


Another Progressive Fusillade Goes Awry

Commentary Is Chris Rufo our Br’er Rabbit? In his tireless battle against Critical Race Theory (CRT), the latest allotrope of vicious anti-white, polymorphously perverse Marxist ideology, Rufo has had signal success. He has succeeded in bringing the truth about CRT to the public’s attention, and his work has inspired a significant backlash. He has inspired…


John Robson: The Contrast in How Striking Federal Workers Were Treated Compared to the Truckers’ Convoy

Commentary It’s just as well that striking federal public servants didn’t use trucks to block roads, interfere with critical infrastructure, and cause Canadians major and lasting inconvenience if not harm.

When Did Leftists Become So Unbearable?

Commentary My professor of logic drove a painted-up VW bug, dressed like a hippie, did drugs, and proclaimed himself to be an apostle of Karl Marx. Looking back, it seemed mostly like an act. The substance of the class was as strict as any I’ve taken. He was brutally insistent—as logic would require—that every argument…

The Obsession With Sweeping Away the Past Is Highly Destructive for Civilization

The following is a commentary by Michael Bonner on his new book, “In Defense of Civilization: How Our Past Can Renew Our Present.” Do we live in a civilization? When I was growing up in the 1990s, amidst all the exuberance of the American unipolar moment, I certainly thought I lived in a civilization, and…


Tennessee AG Skrmetti Fights for All of US on Federal Overreach on Transgenderism

Commentary We live in one of the strangest eras in world history.

Who benefits…


Cory Morgan: Why Is the Media Not Calling Out Blatant Scapegoating by Politicians?

Commentary The COVID-19 pandemic was the most divisive world event in generations. Differing views over government actions such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates split families, friends, and social groups. Protests erupted across the nation and the truckers’ Freedom Convoy made Canadian history as a government in panic invoked the Emergencies Act in response to the…
