Gerald Baker: We in the West are in the grip of an ideology that disowns our genius, denounces our success, disdains merit, elevates victimhood, embraces societal self-loathing and enforces it all in a web of exclusionary and authoritarian rules, large and small.

Trump Indictment Keeps NY Safe for Accountants
At long last, the nation’s most notorious falsifier of business records, the outlaw who has for years terrorized helpless accountants and hapless election regulators with a merciless campaign of bookkeeping irregularities and infringements of campaign finance laws, faces justice.

Pandora’s Donald Trump Prosecution

DEI at Law Schools Could Bring Down America
Wokeness, or what used to be called political correctness, once seemed merely harebrained. The common view was that undergraduates would outgrow it once they faced the rigors of the real world.

Dominion’s Weak Case Against Fox
William Barr: Blinded by resentment at Fox’s success as an alternative media voice, many media organizations offered a distorted narrative—largely parroting Dominion’s spin—that the disclosures doom Fox’s legal defense.

The Trump Grand Jury and the Age of Unseriousness
The woman into whose hands some lawyer (and her peers) placed the potential liberty of a former president, and perhaps the stability of the republic itself, spent last week giddily skipping from television studio to newspaper office sharing the sober deliberations of a secret judicial process like a fluttery teenager dishing the dirt on the saucy goings-on at last night’s junior prom.
