Teachers Must Be Allowed Concealed Carry
John Cycl: With police response time being around 5 to 7 minutes, any gunman armed with a semi-automatic weapon can inflict a lot of harm in that time. Instead of having teachers surrender by just using their bodies as human shields, there would now be the opportunity for teachers to shoot back.
FBI’s Russia Indictments Shift Focus Away from Its Parkland Failure
Michael Savage: This is a failure of a major agency. It is terrifying that they would go this far as to take a nation that is still in shock and mourning, while the bodies are still in morgues, and release this nothing indictment. This announcement was made to cover up their own inability to prevent this tragic event.
Mike Pence Mocked by Left for Christian Faith
David Limbaugh: You see, in liberals’ view, Trump is abominable, but Pence might be even worse because he not only claims to be a Christian but, unlike Trump (in their eyes), actually is one. His ideas are “dangerous.”
California Is on an Unsustainable Path
The once-admired state has become a destination for welfare recipients, illegal immigrants, and poverty-level citizens.

George Martin: Conservatives like myself, who were activists during that era, thought the media’s bias could not get any worse. Well, we were wrong. The media’s hostility toward the Trump administration takes the cake.
Memo Dispels the Myth of Obama the Savior

A Military Parade Is a Good Idea

Fascism Is a Product of the Left
Jerry Newcombe: In his book, “Liberal Fascism,” Jonah Goldberg notes that fascism is purely a product of the left. In fact, Mussolini, during the early days of his rise to power, was actually a darling of leftists.
Democrats’ Contempt for American Success Is Mind-Boggling
A booming economy? Rising employment? President Trump expressed pride in America. Republicans cheered. Democrats looked ill.
School Shootings Reflect Moral Failure of “God-Free” Schools
Jerry Newcomb: There’s an irony to any school shooting in Kentucky. That’s because it is the same state where, nearly 40 years ago, a display of the Ten Commandments in the classroom was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. The words, “thou shalt not kill,” are unconstitutional in a school-setting, says the high court.
Faith in American Spirit Defines Trump’s Confidence in Rebuilding US
Deroy Murdock: But Trump’s scowling resistance was virtually paralyzed. The party of “No” refused to stand and cheer even the fact that black unemployment is at record lows. This reveals just how little liberal Democrats really care about black Americans.
Trump Davos Speech Embraces the World

California Is the New Poverty Capital of America
Jonah Goldberg: The median household income in Mississippi is about $41,000 per year. In California it’s about $65,000. Does anyone doubt that $41,000 goes a lot further in Biloxi than in Los Angeles?
The Democrats’ Moral Low Ground
Scot Faulkner: Liberals hoped that selectively purging their ranks of their rankest elements would give them the moral high ground to drive President Trump from office by declaring him a sexual predator. What happened instead was liberals in the media, government, and Hollywood being accused of sexual assault every twenty hours since Harvey Weinstein’s demise.
What If Diversity Isn’t a Strength?
Jonah Goldberg: There’s a growing body of evidence that even if diversity once made America stronger, it may not be doing so anymore, at least in the short and medium term.
Haiti and the Liberal Media Hypocrites
Michael Savage: Never mind that this got out of that meeting, thanks to the sneaky rat Dick Durbin…Never mind that the president is a New Yorker and that’s the kind of language you hear in that city. But what exactly did he say that was wrong?
We’ve Let Aristocrat Actors Become Our Moral Guides
Jonah Goldberg: it is a bizarre inconsistency in the cartoonishly liberal ideology of Hollywood that the only super-rich people in America reflexively assumed to be morally superior are people who pretend to be other people for a living.
Elites Can’t Reconcile Themselves to Trump’s Populism

t’s February 2021, just a few weeks into the Oprah Winfrey administration, and, far from healing America’s divides, it turns out that President Winfrey has only deepened them.
New England’s Absurd Energy Policies Exposed by Bomb Cyclone
Don’t blame the weather for soaring energy prices and possible electricity shortages; blame the left-wing politicians and radical environmentalists for engineering a system certain to fail. Instead of promoting an energy policy focused on reliability with a diverse array of power sources for electricity generation, New England adopted a command-and-control energy policy built on feeling good, not reality.
