Only the Rich and Powerful Can Thrive in Lawless San Francisco
San Francisco’s mess highlights one of the biggest issues with the anti-police movement. Truly, the middle class, poor, and minorities suffer most.

Wholesale prices rose 8.6% from a year ago in October, another record annual gain and the biggest spike in more than a decade. Inflation hit 6.2%, the highest rate of annualized inflation since the 1990s. Whereas once voters were promised “transitory” inflation, today, economists warn that we’ll be in this for a while.
America’s Moral Depravity
Armstrong Williams: It pains me to see the sinfulness and moral treachery of our youth. A notable example of this was during the Astroworld concert in Houston which brought to light just how low our nation has fallen. At least eight lives were lost, with over 100 injured.

Vaccine Mandates Aren’t Biden’s Only Job-Killing Scheme

Dems Are Turning America into a European Welfare State
The cradle-to-grave subsidies in the 2,448-page, $3.5 trillion spending bill that Democrats in Congress are crafting will create a welfare trap for millions more Americans, send inflation soaring, and drive our nation much deeper into debt.
Mom Gets Dirty Books Removed from Virginia School Library
Stacy Langton, a Fairfax County mother, made headlines after she read aloud and showed images from two books, “Gender Queer” by Maia Kobabe and “Lawn Boy” by Jonathan Evison, during a school board meeting.

The Left Leans into Champagne Socialism

Marxism Underpins the BLM Agenda
The divisive critical race theory conflicts flaring across the country are a legacy of BLM. So is the crime wave that blights our cities, as are the race-conscious policies that President Joe Biden is signing into law. Not bad for organizations founded by Marxists who set out explicitly to dismantle the foundations of American society.

Even a 42-Ton Boulder Isn’t Safe from Woke Cancel Culture
Can a rock be racist? It can be, according to student activists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. The school in early August moved a giant boulder that had sat prominently on campus for nearly a century to honor geologist and former university President Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin.
Americans Deserve Answers on Botched Afghanistan Withdraw
Americans want to know whether the U.S. should have blown up all the military equipment rather than have it be captured by the Taliban? What about the decision to abandon the military prison at Bagram Airfield containing thousands of the worst terrorists in Afghanistan? To Americans accustomed to seeing their military succeed, none of what they see on TV makes sense.
There Are Better Ways to Fight Covid Than Mask Mandates

Harvard University has selected a man who does not believe in God to be the school’s chief chaplain. Chief Chaplain Greg Epstein is the author of “Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe.”
Why Media Are Only Tough on Biden When He’s Not in the Room
Tim Murtaugh: Making Biden look bad in a press conference is not a smart approach for reporters who want to continue to have access, hear their names called to ask questions, or be granted an audience in the Oval Office.
Taliban Fighters Now Equipped for Decades
The Taliban captured essentially all the necessary ingredients to fully equip both an army and an air force, spanning the gamut from 600,000 rifles and machine guns; 76,000 vehicles, such as high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles, armored trucks, and pickups; radios, night vision googles, and drones; and 208 helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
America Is Experiencing a Crisis of Confidence in Biden
Even many of Biden’s media and political defenders are noticing and criticizing his leadership amid one of the worst foreign policy fiascos in American history. Perhaps more than a few feel that Biden’s failures betray his message that he would bring the “adults” back to Washington.
Afghan Chaos Was Avoidable and Biden Is to Blame
Nobody can argue that it is in America’s interest to have the Taliban back in power in Afghanistan—but through a mixture of incompetence, stubbornness, and aloofness, this is exactly what Biden has done.
