David Harsanyl: If Americans want to join organizations that undercut initiative and achievement to slide employees into safe, pre-determined slots regardless of ability or work ethic, that’s their business. If they want to break the law and blackmail entire communities who have no choice but to walk away, they should be fired.

Expect the Worst Oscars Ever
Derek Hunter: Those who do tune in to what may be a three-hour left-wing political seminar can expect host Jimmy Kimmell to lecture them about how awful the country is. There will be Trump jokes, there will be anti-Republican and anti-Second Amendment speeches. Who wants that? Who needs that?
How the Democrats Will Lose in 2020
Ben Shapiro: They could blow this in the same way they blew 2016: by picking a candidate based on intersectional concerns rather than capacity to unify Americans, and by slandering half the country.
Why the Left Opposes Arming Teachers
The left almost always opposes fighting evil and almost always works to disarm the good who want to fight. This is as true on the national level as it is on the personal.
The AR-15 Is a Tool for Good
Scott Morefield: The facts are on our side here. For example, even though it has admittedly been used in several high-profile school shootings of late, the AR-15’s involvement in overall crime in the United States is much less than the fear-mongers would have us think.
CNN’s Shameful Town Hall Is a Clarifying Moment on Guns
David Harsanyi: The kids were indeed earnest, even if they were generally uneducated about gun laws, legal process and the underpinning of the Second Amendment — which is to be expected. Those who use them as political shields, on the other hand, are cynical. Those who put them on TV to participate in a national Airing of Grievances are cynical.
How to Beat the Terrible Liberal Gun Control Arguments
Kurt Schlichter: I argue for a living…But never in a quarter century of being in court rooms have I faced such a blizzard of constitutional illiteracy, technical ignorance, flabby reasoning, and outright lies as I have dealing with people who think our Second Amendment rights are up for debate.
Do Not Let the Children Lead
Michelle Malkin: America is not a juvenilocracy. There is a reason we don’t elect high school sophomores and juniors to public office or allow them to cast ballots. Pubescents are fueled by hormones and dopamine and pizza and Sonic shakes. They’re fickle and fragile and fierce and forgetful.
Facebook’s Top Ad Executive Had a Message About Russian Meddling
Facebook’s top advertising executive faced backlash Friday after weighing in on what he observed regarding Russian election meddling—namely, that the country’s disinformation campaign on the site was not an attempt to sway the 2016 election.
What Left-Wing Educators Don’t Teach During Black History Month
Larry Elder: Black History Month appears to omit a lot of black history…Are students taught that gun control, widely embraced by today’s black leadership, began as a means to deny free blacks the right to own guns?
Trump’s “Non-Normality” Has Resulted in a Relatively Normal Situation
Ben Shapiro: The economy’s booming. We’re on more solid foreign-policy ground than we were when President Obama was in office — by a long shot. The Constitution hasn’t been torn asunder. The structures of government are still in place. Trump may be toxic rhetorically, but his presidency hasn’t annihilated the norms that govern our society.
What?! Sony Had to Issue an Apology Because of a Food Allergy Scene in an Animated Film
Matt Vespa: Seriously, Peter Rabbit offended people? People were triggered that an anthropomorphic rabbit and his legions of friends, who also have human characteristics, flung fruit at Mr. McGregor. I fail to see how this move was set to deliver a deathblow to the food allergy awareness campaign. It’s not real, folks.
Mass Exodus from Blue States to Red States
According to United Van Lines, the top 10 states people are leaving include the blue states Wisconsin, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Illinois. Only three red states made the list; Kentucky, Utah, and Kansas.
There’s a Book Out Against Transgender Extremism
Brent Bozell: Dr. Ryan Anderson of The Heritage Foundation has a new book called “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment.” He explains that you can see the swift descent into the denial of reality by reviewing tracts of the Human Rights Campaign.
With Enemies Like This, Trump Doesn’t Need Friends
Kurt Schlicter: Is a parade a good idea? A bad idea? Irrelevant! It’s a hilarious idea, because when this idea erupted on social media, it was absolutely certain that the liberals would immediately take a position that required them to say, “No, we should totally not honor our troops.”
Memo to Dan Rather: Shut Up About Memos
Michelle Malkin: Old liberal media liars never fade away. They just rage, rage against the dying of their dinosaur industry’s light. I’m looking at you, Dan Rather.
In Defense of Evangelicals Who Support Trump
Dennis Prager: Religious Christians and Jews who support Trump understand that the character of a public leader is quite often less important than his policies. This is so obvious that only the naive think otherwise. Character is no predictor of political leadership on behalf of moral causes.
The Liberals and Their Conservative Chump Pals Hate Democracy
Kurt Schlicter: The most basic principle that has been dumped like a Kennedy’s girlfriend is the one the self-appointed establishment hates most. It is the notion that power derives from the consent of the governed, that those using that power answer to us Normals.
Why Do Democratic Leaders Find Patriotism Divisive?
David Limbaugh: Obviously, today’s Democratic Party (at least its leadership) has a problem with raw expressions of patriotism, because Democrats can’t seem to look at America through anything but their distorted prism of Balkanized identity politics.
Had the “News” Media Done Its Job, Obama Would Not Have Become President
Larry Elder: A photojournalist withheld publication of a 2005 photograph of a smiling then-Sen. Barack Obama with a beaming Louis Farrakhan, the anti-Semitic, anti-white leader of the Nation of Islam.
A Flawed Man Can Be a Good President
Ben Shapiro: Trump’s list of accomplishments should seemingly answer a question with which conservatives have been struggling: Can a bad man make a good president? The answer, obviously, should be yes.
Desperation Time as Democrats Seek to Stop Trump from Succeeding
Kurt Schlicter: It’s panic time as the liberals struggle to halt the winning streak of President Donald Trump (Yeah, President Donald Trump – get used to it!). It’s tacky, petty, and pathetic, and exactly what we’ve come to expect from the kind of people who shamelessly backed Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit while screeching “#MeToo!”
Are You Aware of Taxpayer-Funded Cruelty to Animals?
Right now, the VA doles out more than $1,600 to purchase 6-month-old beagles, hounds or mixed-breed dogs. The white coats at the VA then spend hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars to surgically induce heart attacks by injecting latex into the puppies’ arteries and then stressing their damaged hearts by forcing them to run on a treadmill.
The Federal Government Should Have Remained Closed
John Stossel: The government is open again. That’s too bad. One day, one of these shutdowns should be permanent. That’s because even during so-called shutdowns, a third of federal employees — nearly a million people — remain on the job, declared “essential” government workers.
