Thom Nickels: Call me petty when it comes to criticizing political correctness, but when I heard that my city of Philadelphia was calling the 65-foot tall 2018 spruce decorated with 4,000 LED lights and 50 ornaments on the north side of City Hall a “Holiday Tree” I shook my head in disbelief.

Is Hollywood Dead?
Roger Simon: This semi-rigor mortis is one of the key reasons we hear so much dimwitted left-wing political blather from Hollywood. These people crave attention…This also explains why in those endless YouTubes with earnest actors telling us why we should hate Trump, there are so many faces we don’t recognize.

The Consequences of #MeToo for Women: Gender Segregation
There are consequences to “walking on eggshells,” the most prominent being a stifling conformity of thought, a deadening of intellectual curiosity, and fear. The #MeToo movement, now a year old, is having a dramatic effect on women in the workplace. They may have drastically reduced sexual harassment — a good thing in and of itself — but at what cost?

The Late Great (Again) Planet Earth
You can’t go wrong betting against religious crackpots, and while the climate-change freaks are ostensibly secular, their approach to their unalterable dogma has all the hallmarks of a particularly nutty faith. Never mind that the data to which they so fearfully cling is either bogus or misinterpreted.
“Why I Am No Longer a Canadian Writer”
David Solway: Our writing culture has for the most part continued its descent into the politically correct dementia of our historical moment, the latest instance being the pronominal madness that has swept through the universities and entered the larger society.
What’s Really Behind the Jim Acosta “Controversy”?
Roger Simon: Who is profiteering off the grandstanding of Acosta and others? It’s not the American people — that’s for sure. It’s the major media companies (ABC, CBS, etc.) who, acting as monopolies in a cartel of sorts, get maximum exposure — mostly to the exclusion of everybody else — and therefore increased revenue.
Trump Vows Warlike Posture If Dems Inundate Him with Investigations
If House Democrats hit the ground running in January with an overarching investigatory agenda, President Trump will have no choice but to follow through on his warning to adopt a “warlike posture” in response.
Recounts Rarely Change Elections, But When They Do, They Favor Dems
Republicans are right to be skeptical of these recounts.
New York Times Election Eve Op-Ed Likens Trump to Hitler
President Trump is right to continually harangue the MSM. They have been awful for decades but have become disgusting embarrassments to the very idea of a free press since Trump took office. This kind of awful garbage — even in the opinion section — is offensive to millions of Americans and far more dangerous to the country than President Trump.
This Tuesday America Takes an IQ Test
Roger Simon: You would think that with all economic indicators at or near an all-time high, unemployment at an all-time low, wages rising as they haven’t in years, the country at peace with the threat of evil doers from ISIS to North Korea on the wane, and an incredible, indeed unprecedented, number of presidential accomplishments in 20 months this election would be the proverbial no-brainer for voters.

This Jewish Boy Is Going to Buy a Gun
Roger Simon: I didn’t buy a gun because I didn’t want to awaken my mother — a devoted gun-control advocate — from her grave. Until now. Until Pittsburgh. This Jewish boy is going to buy a gun.
Apple CEO Tim Cook Calls Being Gay “God’s Greatest Gift to Me”
Fitting with Cook’s orientation, Apple as a company has taken a very public pro-LGBT stance — even to the degree of partnering with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a far-Left organization that brands mainstream conservative Christian groups “hate groups” for disagreeing with LGBT activism. Notably, however, Apple does not present the same face in every country — literally.
Senator Cory Booker Accused of Sexual Assault by Gay Man
Rick Moran: A gay man who describes himself as a liberal Democrat is accusing New Jersey Senator Cory Booker of sexually assaulting him in 2014…We’ll see how the #MeToo movement reacts over the next few days, but my guess is that they will soft peddle the accusation and Booker will skate on it.
Hard Times at Snowflake U
America’s high schools, liberals arts colleges, and universities got taken over by Leftist radicals, who starting in the 1960s had burrowed into the system as eternal graduate students and who gradually emerged, like parasites, to devour their hosts. The result has been increasingly politicized, feminized institutions that, in many cases, bear almost no resemblance to their original incarnations…

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace isn’t letting the increasing concerns about violence among people on the American right tone down her fevered Never Trump rhetoric.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Thinks Trump Won’t Seek Reelection
The idea that he will just bail on the whole thing seems more like a feverish liberal (yes, Scarborough is a liberal now) fantasy.
Once Again, the Los Angeles Times Unfairly Profiles Police as Racists
At the risk of being repetitive, we return once again to the Los Angeles Times, whose writers and editors seem to leap at any opportunity to present police officers in an unfavorable light. They are so eager to do so, in fact, that they are willing to omit relevant facts from their stories to achieve the purpose.
