    Thieves, Not Corporations, Are Responsible for Car Thefts0

    As the decay of America’s urban centers continues, Milwaukee, Wisconsin has experienced a nearly 200 percent increase in car thefts this year, prompting city council members to take action. But rather than calling for more police officers, or even the left’s preferred curative of social workers, to be hired, Alderman Khalif Rainey and Alderwoman Milele

    Charles Murray Wields Statistics to Question Race and Identity Politics0

    Charles Murray guaranteed he won’t be invited to speak on “woke” university campuses anytime in the near future with the release of his latest book, Facing Reality: Two Truths About Race in America. Which is too bad. The 78-year-old political scientist was already unpopular due to his controversial findings in The Bell Curve and Coming Apart. Murray’s latest book

  • Scaramouche: Rogue of the French Revolution

    Scaramouche: Rogue of the French Revolution0

    A good historical novel—as Rafael Sabatini’s Scaramouche is—resembles a bridge game, where the hands and strategies are revealed only gradually. History itself unfolds irregularly, with disruptions, false starts, and surprises. Against the backdrop of complicated, vicious, and corrosive events in France in the late 1780s and early 1790s, Sabatini draws his characters from smallscale lives into the great

  • Sabotaging the Poor, Selling Out for Politics

    Sabotaging the Poor, Selling Out for Politics0

    If there were a Museum of Terrible Ideas, the permanent collection would surely include today’s elected leaders who believe the best way to represent impoverished neighborhoods is to demand the defunding of police departments and supporting policies to undermine public schools. How can anyone argue that poor people benefit from lax law enforcement or ending

    As disruptive as the 2020/2021 academic year was, it led to many positive educational changes that will be transformative and long-lasting. Most notably, parents have been re-empowered to take back the reins of their children’s education from government bureaucrats and teachers unions. Frustrated by school closures and district “Zoom schooling,” families fled public schools in

    Will Bishops Deny Biden Communion?0

    Last week, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted 168-55, more than 3-1, to provide new guidance for receiving Holy Communion. Behind the decision? Bishops’ alarm that the public religious practice of President Joe Biden is conveying a heretical message to the faithful and the nation.  At Sunday Mass, Biden regularly receives Communion. Yet he

    The Root of Today’s Violence0

    Another weekend, another round of shootings. We’ve only just hit the summer solstice and we’re already off to the races of chaos and crime. Per usual, the biggest rampage came from Chicago, where 54 people were shot over the weekend, 21 on Saturday night alone. But Chicago is not the only city having problems. A recent

  • Hitler’s Great Soviet Mistake, 80 Years Later

    Hitler’s Great Soviet Mistake, 80 Years Later0

    Hitler’s Germany attacked Stalin’s Soviet Union 80 years ago today, thus unleashing the greatest, bloodiest, and most meaningless clash of titans in history. Thanks to the German Führer’s obsession with Lebensraum (“Living Space”) in the East, and his equally self-defeating, criminal race theory,  Operation Barbarossa resulted in the mutual near-destruction of the two nations. Flawed from the outset,
