Lately, Fauci’s made a couple of unforced errors that put those who are inclined to defend him in awkward and uncomfortable positions.

There May Be a Connection Between Coronavirus and Air Conditioning
The evidence is mixed, but suggests the answer could be yes.
Today’s Revolutionaries Aren’t Like Their ’60s Predecessors
America is far less resilient, and a far more divided, indebted, and vulnerable target than it was in 1965. Today, radicals are not protesting against 1950s conservatism but rather against the radicals of the 1960s, who, as old liberals, now hold power.
Trump’s Covid Performance Is Sinking His Presidency
The president should have realized by now that he can’t look past or talk by the virus, and as long as it is spreading in a significant way his (hugely important) priorities of jump-starting the economy and seeing schools reopen around the country are going to falter.
The Disgrace of Portland
For months, Democratic authorities have tacitly endorsed violent riots.
We Need More Police in Urban Neighborhoods, Arresting More People
Shootings and other crimes spike in the poorest neighborhoods when cops pull back.
Politics Puts the NFL on the Brink
If the multibillion-dollar NFL decides that multimillionaire players have no obligation to stand to honor a collective national anthem, and that there will be separate anthems and politicized uniforms, then millions of Americans will quietly shrug and change the channel. And that silent protest will make the 2016–17 anthem protest look like child’s play.
Bari Weiss and Malignancy at the NY Times
Intellectual curiosity — let alone risk-taking — is now a liability at The Times. Why edit something challenging to our readers, or write something bold only to go through the numbing process of making it ideologically kosher, when we can assure ourselves of job security (and clicks) by publishing our 4000th op-ed arguing that Donald Trump is a unique danger to the country and the world?
Trump Spares Roger Stone Imprisonment, as Amnesiac Democrats Howl in Outrage
One-time defenders of unsavory Clinton and Obama pardons are outraged by the president’s commutation of his old associate’s 40-month sentence.
Netflix Must Cancel Barack Obama
How can Netflix, which presents itself as a leader on LGBT issues, maintain its relationship with Obama, who twice ran for president opposing gay marriage?
The Worrisome Decline of Patriotism in America
As the nation celebrates its 244th birthday, those of us who still love it must redouble our efforts to convert those who don’t to our side.
The Strategies of Dementia Politics
Stoke chaos, obstruct economic recovery, and hide Biden in the basement till Election Day.
The Reopening Is Not a Failure
The media’s tone is, of course, apocalyptic, with many commentators portraying many Republican governors as callous extremists hell-bent on reopening, come what may…The reality is that Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis, and Doug Ducey are reasonable, public-spirited men who never said they would insist on full reopening regardless of the consequences.
The Dumbest Statue Toppling
Of course, Madison, Wis., has topped everyone with what is probably the dumbest toppling so far. A mob Tuesday night pulled down a statue of Hans Christian Heg — an abolitionist who recruited troops for the Union army, ably led them, and fell at Chickamauga — decapitated it, dragged it down the street, and threw it into a lake.
The Fight Against Statues Is a Fight Against Civilization
Conrad Black: Left-wing extremists have hijacked the Floyd protests to wage war against American achievement.
Thomas Jefferson Must Stand
Those who want to topple the great, but imperfect, man feel the same way about his country.
Conservatives Shouldn’t Defend Confederate Statues Which Are Symbols of Secession
Secession was a traitorous act that threatened to destroy the American nation, and the South’s leaders don’t deserve to be given a place of honor.
Selective Self-Distancing Rules Are a Scam
Massive crowds are wonderful and healthful, if they’re woke. Otherwise, they’re life-threatening.
Which Black Lives Matter?

The Oberlin Mindset Has Spread to the Real World
The controversy at the New York Times over Senator Cotton’s op-ed reveals how quickly the values of the woke mob have infiltrated the mainstream.
Law and Order Isn’t Fascist
It’s the New York Times and other woke voices, not President Trump, that want to stifle dissent.
Not-So-Retiring Retired Military Leaders
In a time of crisis, their synchronized chorus of complaints, falsehoods, and partisan appeals to resistance threaten the very constitutional order they claim to revere.
The Inside Story of the Tom Cotton Op-Ed That Rocked the NY Times
The paper hasn’t yet identified any factual errors in the piece, and its statement seems a transparent way to try to climb down from its decision to publish the piece to appease its staff and readers. The Cotton team has no idea what the Times is talking about. The senator had fairly recently written two other op-eds for the Times. “Each time,” a Cotton staffer says, “the process was rigorous and somewhat onerous, and that was true of this time as well.”
This Is Why We Need Guns
Defending their lives and their property as they see fit is exactly what those who have been abandoned by the authorities are doing in droves.
