It’s poor and primarily Spanish-speaking, and it’s not even clear that most of its citizens want their island to become the 51st state. Earlier this week for National Review, Kyle Sammin made “a conservative case for Puerto Rican statehood.” Some people might think that it’s unusual to see a conservative make that argument, but actually, it isn’t. […]

These days, all it takes to be a “star” in politics is a pretty face, a loud voice, a sense of grievance, and a level of confidence completely unjustified by your accomplishments or brainpower.  Socialist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fits this mold perfectly. If Helen of Troy was the face that launched a thousand ships, Alexandria […]

Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang is a dark horse contender for the Democratic nomination in 2020 and one of his proposals is getting a lot of attention. His idea is to pay everyone in the United States $1000 per month. It sounds great, right? I mean, who wouldn’t want an extra $1000 per month? I would […]

Every experienced political observer knows that polls of adults are much more liberal than polls of likely voters. What that means is that for political purposes, a poll of adults doesn’t mean much. On the other hand, it also means that the culture at large is significantly more liberal than the group of people that […]

You’ve heard about Robert Kraft, right? The 77-year-old widowed billionaire who owns the New England Patriots and has apparently been accused (all the details aren’t out) of going to a massage parlor to get a happy ending. Now, I haven’t watched a football game in years and I don’t care about Robert Kraft or the […]

It’s hard to imagine how conservatives could be even more complacent than they actually are about what’s being done to this country. The schools our children are taught in are almost universally run by liberals who hate everything we stand for, but we don’t demand that our representatives pull funding from state schools that behave […]

Tucker Carlson’s Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution is an extraordinary book that builds upon the work of Pat Buchanan in Death of the West, Charles Murray’s Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010 and the wars between the Tea Party and the establishment in the Republican Party. It […]

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” – Matthew 7:3 I am overweight and I can attest to the fact that it’s not a lot of fun. People, often times unfairly I think, consider you to be weak-willed […]

Once you get beyond the government, the greatest threats to free speech and free thought in America are the social media companies that have been allowed to become monopolies. If there is such a thing as a public square in the modern world, these companies increasingly control it and decide who gets heard, who doesn’t, […]

“(Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) is the leader, everybody knows it, everybody feels it. She’s the leader of this mass movement.” — Michael Moore Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is loud, outraged and not particularly bright. In fact, saying she’s not particularly bright is kind of like saying Antarctica is not particularly hot. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez IS what the mainstream media THOUGHT […]

One of the weird tics of modern feminism is the idea that women are just as strong, capable and able as men, but should also be treated as helpless children who are incapable of taking care of themselves whenever it benefits them. This has come to the forefront because of  Neomi Rao’s comments from college […]

“An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head.” – Eric Hoffer “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.” – Ronald Reagan Most people who read my columns are used […]

On Friday, the story DOMINATING Twitter was about a group of Covington High School Catholic kids that attended the March for Life wearing MAGA hats, then topped that off by screaming “Build the wall” at a bunch of Native American activists. From there, they upped the aggression level and SURROUNDED the poor activists. Worst yet […]

Masculinity is increasingly coming under attack in America. The American Psychological Association has practically declared it a mental illness: “Traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.” Of course, UT-Austin did a “MasculinUT” campaign that essentially did the same thing with ads like this: These sorts of attacks on men […]

“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” – Andy Warhol Fame used to be quite the rare commodity if only because there were fewer ways to become famous in the first place. Radio really started to take off in the 1920s, half of all American families acquired a TV in 1955, and […]
