Today’s Riots Comparable to “Late Stage” Violence of 60s, 70s
The riots of today are potentially more dangerous than the riots of the 1960s, said scholars during a Heritage Foundation forum Wednesday.

California’s Covid-19 Restrictions Go Too Far
The fact that houses of worship and private schools remain able to open only slightly or remain closed entirely while some businesses may operate freely and some do so with restrictions seems too heavy-handed and arbitrary to be accidental. It seems obvious that California’s leaders are engaging in a bit more authoritarian governing than normal.

To all conservative students, patriotism is not dying, and there are good Americans left.
Without Proper Context, Leaked Covid-19 Data Is Worse Than Misleading
Public health officials too often use statistics to misinform the public about the COVID-19 pandemic. By presenting a distorted view, those officials have sown confusion and undermined their own credibility with tens of millions of Americans.

Like most stories targeted at “tween” girls, the topics in the books revolved around boys, family, illness, and more. But episode 4 of the Netflix series sneaks in issues surrounding a transgender child…Netflix used the series as a Trojan horse to discuss a controversial and potentially harmful subject that young children often aren’t equipped to understand.
Conservative Favorite Herman Cain Dies of Coronavirus
News of Cain’s death spurred some political opponents to deride the entrepreneur for his loyalty to Trump rather than appreciate his efforts to create jobs for fellow blacks and other minorities. In particular, ungracious critics mocked Cain for doubting that Covid-19 was a public health threat and for dismissing the wisdom of wearing a protective mask in attending Trump’s much-criticized rally in Tulsa.
Rioters Are Using Racial Discontent to Promote Marxist Agenda
This must be our wake-up call, because as Ronald Reagan also admonished, freedom must be fought for, protected, and handed on to our children to do the same, or one day, we’ll be telling our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

NY Times Editor Bari Weiss Quits Over Newspaper’s Internal “Orthodoxy”
The Times has been biased for generations. It’s a newspaper of record, as Weiss notes, and an incredibly powerful one. It also has been quite liberal and certainly has showed its bias in the past. And it’s published its share of fake news.
Black Heritage Foundation President Questions Donors to Radical BLM
Kay C. James, the first black president of The Heritage Foundation, strongly discouraged corporate donations to a radical Black Lives Matter organization, noting its Marxist origins, and suggested instead that the companies “fund the good guys and defund the bad guys.”
With Highly Questionable Legal Reasoning, Chief Justice Roberts Gives Liberals a Win on Abortion
The unfortunate reality is that Roberts once again put concerns about the court’s image ahead of the rule of law and consistent jurisprudence. He chose to abide by a four-year-old precedent that he contended—and still contends—was wrongly decided, instead of overturning that clearly incorrect decision.
Mob Rule Imperils Western Civilization. It’s Time for Courage, Leadership
Those who do stand up to the statue topplers and radicals—even those who could be broadly defined as “liberal” or on the left—will be drowned out and castigated, will be accused of being racist, and purged by the inquisitors of social justice.
Statue Toppling Is Bringing Mob Rule to America
This sort of mob justice is unlikely to bring us to a kind of post-racial utopia, a heaven on earth. More likely it will bring us straight to perdition, where free government disintegrates and we become a nation of men and mobs, not the law.
Who Will Bear the Costs of Rioting?
Black people must become intolerant of criminals who make their lives living hell, even if it means taking the law into their own hands.

Michael Flynn Finally Seems to Be Getting the Justice He Deserves
According to the U.S. Justice Department, continuing to prosecute Michael Flynn “would not serve the interests of justice.” The way he was treated by FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors—and even his own lawyers—should scare every American.
Media Barely Try to Hide Bias Covering Sexual Assault Allegations
Perhaps our country’s most powerful media organizations now simply don’t care how utterly one-sided their political coverage is.This appears to be the case with how the media has treated the accusations of Tara Reade…
Sweden’s Unique Approach to Covid-19 Is Preserving Economic Freedom
Time will tell about the efficacy of Sweden’s notable public policy health experiment in dealing uniquely with the coronavirus pandemic. However, one thing is quite clear. The country has taken a stand for economic freedom, and its economic recovery at the very least should be swift and durable.

Kyiv, Ukraine—Seriously, what else could go wrong? Massive wildfires, including one within the Chernobyl exclusion zone, sent clouds of potentially radioactive smog into Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv on Thursday—the same day an unusual sand storm hit the city.
Now Is Not (Yet) the Time to Cut Funding to the World Health Organization
While many developed countries are currently in the midst of dealing with COVID-19, the disease is just now starting to affect many developing countries. Those countries will depend on the international community to assist them in responding to COVID-19, and an announcement that the U.S. is cutting funding to the WHO, regardless of the reality, will be interpreted as abandoning them.
Radical Environmentalists’ Giddiness in Pandemic Exposes True Aims
While the country and really the whole world is enmeshed in stopping the COVID-19 pandemic, Obama and many others on the left are desperately trying to get Americans to embrace their agenda. Incredibly, and certainly revealingly, some on the left even tout our current crisis as some kind of model for how we can address climate change.
Churches on the Front Lines Responding to the Coronavirus
