  • What Will the Future Think of Us?

    What Will the Future Think of Us?0

    I love reading histories and biographies. Because of my interest in the past, a particular fantasy is pestering me. What if I could return from the grave in fifty years or more, and see what historians of the future might have written of the time in which I have lived, particularly the last 30 years?

    With the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic getting worse in most of the country, a growing number of school districts from San Francisco to Atlanta have determined that a return to daily in-person instruction isn’t yet safe or viable.

    Three Ways Antifa Is Like the Nazis They Condemn0

    When the antifa phenomenon arrived on the scene several years ago, I observed the name of this new movement was rather oxymoronic. Antifa, one college professor claimed, is very postmodern in its mindset, and as such, replaces objective reality with “lived experience.” This relativist mindset, I noted, was very much like the one Benito Mussolini

    Fighting Nature by Abandoning Herd Immunity0

    When I was a kid, I used to love the show “Fraggle Rock.” A creation of “The Muppets’” Jim Henson, it detailed the underground life of the Fraggles. These furry imaginary creatures lived alongside the dutiful Doozers, who quietly built their elaborate, edible constructions. The Doozers built and the Fraggles ate, without any apparent hard

    What Precedent and the Constitution Say About Postponing an Election0

    If President Donald Trump’s goal was to get people talking about his latest tweet, he again succeeded after floating the idea of delaying the November elections.

    NYT Claims Public Schools Have Less Money Than Private Ones0

    According to the New York Times, one of the main reasons why public K–12 schools are reopening more slowly from Covid-19 lockdowns than private schools is because public schools generally have less money. Times reporter Claire Cain Miller makes this claim three times in a single article, but her assertion is the polar opposite of reality and has been

    Defending Ourselves in Case the Country Falls Apart0

    In her article “How to Prepare for a Communist Coup,” Judith Acosta advises we arm ourselves, build a cache of supplies, be ready to take a stand if necessary, and prepare in the Spirit.
