    A Trip Back to the Fifties0

    Please hop into my time machine, and I’ll give you a short tour of Boonville, North Carolina in the summer of 1959, before bringing you back to the present day.

    Russia Defends the West Against Insanity0

    Foreign ministers of nations both great and small make statements all the time, most of them silly or just forgettable. Some of them are utterly sinister, like Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s promise to promote homosexual “rights.” This has led to the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See, among others, to display the rainbow flag of

    Biden at Tulsa Is a Study in Historical Confusion0

    In a rambling performance taking three-quarters of an hour, President Joe Biden spoke at Tulsa on the anniversary of the murderous events of 1921. He subjected his audience to his usual mangled sentences, omitting key words or parts of speech, sometimes to the point of total incomprehensibility. In fairness it should be noted that he is hardly

    Fibbing Fauci Shows He’s Just Another Crisis-Loving Intellectual0

    A few months into the COVID pandemic, an acquaintance of mine got an adorable puppy and named it… Fauci. Admittedly, it is kind of a cute name for a dog.

    Speaking in Tulsa on the 100th anniversary of the racial atrocity there, Joe Biden belatedly turned to the issue of voting rights, to explain why he is having such difficulty winning passage of the party’s priority legislation.

    Big Tech continues to infiltrate American media production as its woke corporate claws sink deeper into Hollywood, infecting beloved media franchises as they go. Amazon’s acquisition of MGM Holdings Inc. is the latest move in this process and is a change that will accelerate the decline of American culture.

    Setting the Record Straight on Liberal Fascism0

    The right is often accused of fascist tendencies in many of today’s political diatribes. A typical response is for the right to return the same accusation toward the left, a fact Edward Ring explores in a recent article for American Greatness, citing Jonah Goldberg’s famous book Liberal Fascism. Ring provides an intellectual service by bringing up the relationship

    Drinking the Kool-Aid From the Cult of Science0

    Traditional church buildings are emptying at an accelerated rate in recent years, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic erupted.
