Ilhan Omar and Contempt for America
Omar is a Somali refugee who was welcomed to America and now sits in Congress, seething with contempt for her adopted country, its tolerant values, and those of its allies. The Democrats are stuck with a whole squad of like-minded representatives and thousands, perhaps millions, of young supporters eager to promote these socialist attacks on America.
Conservatives Score Big Against NCAA
Just two months ago, the NCAA had promised to boycott states that protected girls sports or banned gender experimentation on minors. That all fell apart just a few weeks later, when so many states had passed conservative legislation that the league finally realized it had nowhere to go. Suddenly, tournaments that weren’t supposed to be awarded to places like Arkansas got the news that they would still be hosts after all.
How BLM Contributes to Rise in Anti-Semitism
Recent fighting between Israel and Hamas has brought the issue to the forefront with more than two dozen anti-semitic attacks reported in the United States since May 10. This troubling trend has been attributed to the pro-Palestinian organization Black Lives Matter and its supporters on the American left and in the news media. (Podcast)
The Left’s Critical Race Theory Preaches Black Failure
Critical race theory may be the Democrat left’s filthiest, ugliest big lie. It defines America as inherently and irredeemably bigoted, denounces all whites as racial oppressors, and diminishes all blacks as racially oppressed victims. BLM and other “systemic racism”-mongers claim that white privilege and white supremacy blockade black success. Blacks think, “Yes, we can.” The Democrat left replies: “No, you can’t.”
Biden Is Off to a Disastrous Start
Our president has a habit of enthusiastically taking credit for the accomplishments of others — as he does with vaccine production and distribution — while denying responsibility for, or botching, the things over which he does have control.
How Surrogacy Harms Women and Children
While scientists do not fully understand the scope of these health considerations, it is clear that for both short and long-term outcomes, surrogacy is a frontier of unknowns; children, egg donors, and surrogate mothers may pay a physical or psychological price nobody yet fully knows or understands.
Voters in Dallas Suburb Lead Revolt Against Critical Race Theory Curricula
About 70% of the vote went against a whole slate of candidates—from the mayor’s race to school board and City Council—who supported a “diversity plan” that pushed critical theory on students and faculty, and turnout for the election was high. That’s not a “divided” election; it’s a landslide.
Are Americans Becoming Sovietized?
Wokeness is becoming our new Soviet-like state religion. Careerists assert that America was always and still is a systemically racist country, without ever producing proof or a sustained argument.
How U.S. Colleges Are Pricing Students, Themselves Out of Business
As American colleges and universities have grown increasingly radical and progressive in their political messaging and orientation, they have financially exploited the very groups—the poor, ethnic minorities, and first-generation college students—that the left purports to champion.
Woke Capitalism Strikes Again in Georgia
Big business has transformed into an activist, aggressive sledge hammer that works on behalf of left-wing causes and threatens the polities of states when they pass laws the left doesn’t like. It’s happening even as big business turns a hypocritically blind eye to the egregious violation of rights that take place in communist China, a country they are often all too eager to do business with.
Sheriff Far from Border Sees Spike in Arrests of Illegal Aliens
A sheriff whose Arizona county is 60 miles from the southern border says his county is experience a direct impact from the flood of illegal immigrants streaming into the U.S. from Mexico. “We just this morning had a procedure where we chased a car,” Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb told The Daily Signal.
Is the Border Crisis a Display of Incompetence or Part of Biden’s Plan?
There is no question this mass influx stems from the reversal of policies implemented by the previous administration. Those policy changes clearly signaled that Team Biden is not serious about border security or enforcing present immigration laws. It is hard to believe that the administration did not foresee that its actions would spark a run to the border.
How the Covid-19 Censors Killed the Truth
Among those eager to suppress dissent on this topic are: the Chinese government, U.S. media outlets, the Big Tech platforms, and scientists with a financial or reputational stake in the outcome of any investigation.
Cuomo’s Revelations Should Embarrass His Once Gushing Media
The media’s deep arrogance about the Democrats’ superior standing as the Party of Science and Competent Government when it comes to the coronavirus is personified in New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. He has been hailed for many months as a wonderful role model, an inspiring anti-Trump.
Rush’s Rare Voice Extolled Individual Liberty and Limited Government
In a media world dominated by liberals, Limbaugh gave rare voice to what we already believed about individual liberty, personal responsibility, and limited government. He delivered it all with an irreverent humor—and with what he jokingly called “talent on loan from God”—that will be difficult to replace.
Biden’s Covid-19 Deceptions
Biden is now imbued with the same powers as Trump—even more, with effective control of both houses—and all he’s done is deflect.
Conservatives of All Stripes Must Unite in 2021 Against the Left
We must put any differences aside to enter the battle immediately in front of us: preventing the takeover of America by the left. This is not a call for some “kumbaya” moment. It’s a call to band together to fight against those who are actively working to destroy America as we know it. Conservatives need to remember that, like a sports team, we don’t all have to play the same position, but we all have to play on the same team.
The Perversion of Science
Ben Shapiro: There has never been a larger gap between America’s scientists and public health professionals. Science is supposed to guide the decision-making for both groups. Yet public health professionals have consistently failed to utilize science as their lodestar, instead sacrificing their credibility on the altar of intersectional politics.
Conservatives Now Have an Option to Avoid Investing in Left-Leaning Companies
After 25 years of experience in the field of investments, Bill Flaig decided to create Ridgeline Research to provide conservatives with investment options that align with their beliefs. American Conservative Values ETF (NYSE ticker: ACVF) is a fund to do just that. It currently boycotts the 20 politically active companies for taking positions at odds with conservative beliefs.
The War on Thanksgiving
Many of our elite institutions—and now, elected officials—have a knee-jerk reaction to attack or dismiss much of our history. Clearly, a steady drumbeat of woke ideologues in the media and on Twitter have convinced enough people to view the Pilgrim story as another example of oppressor against oppressed, of racist versus antiracist.
After the Election, the Left Demands Purges
Numerous liberals and left-wingers have demanded punishment of anyone who has worked for, allied with, or generally supported President Donald Trump. Some want to destroy the Republican Party.
The Results Are in: Reopening Fuels Record Economic Expansion
But across New York City, draconian restrictions and an army of compliance officers continue to push tens of thousands of businesses out of business, resulting in 9.5% unemployment.
How a Historical Novel Can Help Us Navigate This Contentious Moment
“Annie, Between the States” explores the breadth of animating motivations of the Union and of the Confederacy during the Civil War. The book shatters the narrative that the virtuous liberators belonged only to the North and the evil persecutors only to the South. How many of us know or remember that there were four slaveholding states in the Union? Do we realize the majority of Confederate soldiers were not slaveholders?
