As frustrated as we all are about progressive bias in Big Tech, these platforms are still the most effective tool we’ve ever had to directly connect with swing voters and independents across the country. While we chafe at the moderation of some conservative posts, we have a far bigger voice on social media than we ever had in mainstream media.

The Vacancy Fight May Save Trump’s Campaign
The focus shifts from COVID-19 to a sympathetic female nominee and Democrats’ threats to pack the court and radically alter our constitutional order.
Trump’s Supreme Court Nomination Should Move Forward
Many commentators, mostly Democrats, are saying that the Republicans have an obligation to show restraint: to leave this vacancy to be filled by whoever wins the presidential election rather than moving forward with a nomination and hearings…The argument from 2016 is unavailing.
Violent Anti-American Radicals Should Be Charged with Seditious Conspiracy
Legal experts are wrong when they say charges of seditious conspiracy should not be filed against those who plan violent attacks against government.
Cancel Culture Comes to Medicine
Dr. Scott Atlas is under attack from former Stanford colleagues for joining the Trump administration’s COVID task force.
California’s Disastrous Forest Mismanagement
The solution is simple in principle if not in practice, but a web of interests has held back progress in the Golden State.
Cancel Culture Comes to the Conkite School of Journalism As It Caves to Student Activists
The first sign of cancel culture bubbling up at Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication involved Sonya Duhé, whom the university named dean this spring. Her tenure was cut short almost instantly after she published a tweet praying for “the good police officers who keep us safe.”
Biden Advised Against Osama bin Laden Raid
The single best moment of Obama’s presidency was the May 2011 raid into Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden. It only happened because Obama ignored Joe Biden when he said, “Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go.” Biden is all too aware that he got the biggest decision of the Obama presidency wrong…
The Coming Police Crisis
We are living in a climate of animus against the police. The result is already apparent in soaring crime rates, as cops pull back from the proactive police work that keeps us safe.
The Left Blames Trump for Riots and Unrest
Until a few days ago, Democrats were content to pretend the disorder in American cities didn’t exist. Now, worried that Joe Biden is on his back foot on the issue, they readily acknowledge the rioting — and blame it on President Donald Trump.
The American Economy Is Already Too Far Left for Comfort — Or Prosperity
Americans already are living in a socialist society.
The Fools of Kenosha
So why the rioting? We are told frequently these days that rioting represents the only course that many Americans have available to them. We reject this view entirely. ..The best course of action is to resist weaving every ugly incident into an all-encompassing worldview that, in the name of highlighting what is bad about America, serves to blot out all that is good.
RNC Begins with a Strong Opening Night
Overall, a surprisingly strong start — and now Republicans eagerly await the ratings. If people at home were watching . . . maybe Trump will get a nice polling bump out of this week and the dynamic of this race will change.
Dems Strain to Depict Biden as a Moderate
There is obviously no percentage in him running as the most progressive presidential nominee in a couple of generations. It’s much better for him to portray himself simply as a good guy whose tent is so broad it stretches from AOC to the former secretary of state for a Republican president many progressives think was guilty of war crimes.
College Freshmen Should Attend Fall Classes and Scrap Gap-Year Plans
College freshman who attend fall classes, either in person or remotely, will benefit from smaller class sizes and fewer competitors when they enter the job market.
No, the Postal Service Isn’t Stealing the Election
The latest five-alarm fire in Washington is over a supposed plot to disfranchise voters centered on the United States Postal Service.
Kamala Is Far Worse Than Hillary
Making someone as extreme as Kamala Harris a president-in-waiting is a bone-chilling prospect. No conservative or moderate should support it.
CNN Reporter’s “Analysis” of Kamala Is One Long Press Release
Maeve Reston, national political “reporter” for CNN, has published a string of glowing stories in the wake of Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate, marking a stark departure from her treatment of Sarah Palin’s 2008 run. Reston, who frequently publishes “analysis” pieces for CNN that are not cast as opinion, has been unrelenting in her praise for the Harris pick.
Kamala Lies Repeatedly in First Speech as Biden’s Running Mate
No, the U.S. has not been hit “worse than any other advanced nation” by the coronavirus.
Kamala Is No Moderate
Joe Biden’s vice-presidential pick is a self-serving and dishonest politico…She was moderately corrupt as an attorney general, moderately abusive as a senator, and now moderately dangerous to the rule of law. Americans should be moderately terrified.
Susan Rice as VP Could Be Recipe for Disaster
Rice’s career shows over 20 years of bad judgment and ill-informed policy positions that have damaged U.S. national security and contributed to humanitarian disasters and genocide. Rice as vice president under a doddering President Biden could be a recipe for national-security chaos and disaster.
Here’s What You Probably Don’t Know About Susan Rice
Being soft on African dictators, pondering the electoral implications of calling genocide genocide, and giving Richard Holbrooke the finger, among other things. She also contended that former Taliban captive Bowe Bergdahl served the United States with “honor and distinction.” (He was court-martialed for deserting his post.)
Fox News Vs. Trump
The real harm Fox News is doing to Trump’s reelection campaign is that it’s reinforcing his worst tendencies.
AG William Barr Wins the Day
Barr is an excellent witness. He’s sober, usually doesn’t let his irritation show (although he will spin his pen faster), never says more than he has to, and knows more than anyone else in the room.
