A Biden Supporter Explains Why Trump May Win0
- Politics
- October 29, 2020
I was in Washington DC this time four years ago – a week before the 2016 election. The mood was eerie, not in the least because of all the morbid Halloween decorations. With skeletons hanging from trees, carved pumpkins on porches and fake gravestones littering front yards, the suburban vistas felt strangely like a scene
READ MORENo, the American Republic Was Not Founded on Slavery0

Journalistic propaganda is a powerful instrument of indoctrination. Without evidence, foul ideas can easily penetrate mainstream discourse. For instance, recently it has become fashionable to posit that slavery is America’s original sin. To sensible people, this is a risible claim, because there is nothing particularly American about slavery. But revisiting the history of slavery in

Philadelphia, city of brotherly love, welcome to the ranks of riot-ravaged cities! Unrest is exploding once again in a major American city, this time following the death of Walter Wallace, a mentally unstable black man killed after advancing on police with a knife.

Before the Hunter Biden/New York Post/Twitter imbroglio blew up a little more than one week ago, one of the primary targets of social media censors and left-leaning activists was a small nonprofit operating out of Arlington, Virginia.

As has become abundantly clear to the American sport-watching public, political movements and causes are all the rage for the multi-millionaire entertainers who play games for a living. From the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, which is now so ubiquitous in sports as to not have a nominal leader, to Milwaukee Brewers’ pitcher Brent Suter’s

My local gun dealer’s website has a huge banner in the middle of the homepage that says, LIMITED INVENTORY—CALL AHEAD. So, a few weeks ago, that’s what I did. “Hey,” I said, “Do you guys have any Remington 870s?” “Nope.” “How about a Ruger SP101?” “Nope.” “Smith and Wesson M&P?” He just laughed. Back in

Women, Walking Out on the Workforce Is Not Woeful0

If I could summarize the many headlines I’ve seen relating to parenting lately, “Woe for Working Women” would be the slogan I would choose. The media seems to think women with children are the new victimhood class as we trudge through endless COVID purgatory. I’ll be the first to acknowledge that COVID has been hard

“There is a tendency in our profession,” Judge Amy Coney Barrett declared at the outset of her Senate confirmation hearing, “to treat the practice of law as all-consuming, while losing sight of everything else.” But, Barrett added in her Oct. 12 opening statement, “I never let the law define my identity or crowd out the

Censorship by private companies is a topic that divides free marketers but has suddenly become important in the wake of Twitter and Facebook’s recent attempts to squash a New York Post story alleging corruption in the Biden family. Last year, economist James Miller argued that just as the power company can’t turn off your electricity
