    Debunking the Myth of ‘Concealed-Carry Killers’0

    The Violence Policy Center – a gun control advocacy group – released a study last month it wrongly claims shows that “too many concealed-carry permit holders are a direct threat to public safety.”  That claim rests on an analysis of a database documenting “non-self-defense incidents,” which the organization says proves that “allowing random people to carry guns endangers public safety.” On

    Without Free Speech, All Speech Becomes Government Speech0

    When I viewed this video, I wondered if it was a hoax. I thought it must be a group of actors trying to make a point about how far restrictions on speech have gone. Unfortunately, the video captures reality in Scotland in 2019. The video picks up an exchange between a Scottish high school teacher

    The Republic is in crisis. America’s intellectual class is working to discredit our past. The media is waging war against the middle-class values of hard work, religion, and family. In order not to be outdone, Hollywood’s message is more violence, vulgarity, and unbridled hedonism. So, as the ship is starting to list, why would I write

    Parents, Your Kids Are More Flexible Than You Are0

    “I really want to do it. But I think will be so hard!” I said this to a fellow mother a few years ago. We were discussing my desire to move my son’s crib out of my bedroom and into the same room as his older sister. Her reply surprised me. “Maybe it will be

    A new study has just been released that, at first glance, seems to undercut the case for paid parental leave. The study compares outcomes for women who gave birth in California in 2004, just before and just after the state’s Paid Family Leave Act (PFLA) went into effect. According to the authors: We find little evidence

    Saudi Women Slowly Move Outside ‘The Cage’0

    English singer Joss Stone sparked a controversy earlier this year after she shared a photograph on social media of herself wearing a pink niqab in Saudi Arabia.  The image quickly divided her 286,000 followers, one of whom made the critical observation: Wearing (niqab) is not a ‘fun’ thing, it is not even a ‘cultural thing’, it is a religious

    Obama and Kanye on Woke Culture: ‘Get Over That Fast’0

    Recently, President Obama made some choice comments about woke culture. You know, that’s not activism. That’s not bringing about change. If all you’re doing is casting stones, you’re probably not going to get that far.  President Obama, like Dave Chapelle before him, appears to be jumping on the “woke culture” critique bandwagon, and his remarks are
