Earth Day’s Flawed Premise

It’s Earth Day, and the Left has one mission — no, not to save the environment, but to make you feel terrible about yourself, especially as an American. Every April 22, we are invited to feel guilty for driving, flying, eating meat, having children, and existing as a prosperous, industrial civilization.

Universities Cannot Survive as Left-Wing Echo Chambers

Trust in higher education is near an all-time low, and a new Yale University report suggests colleges have only themselves to blame. In addition to problems such as high prices and declining academic standards, the report highlighted that many universities have become “intellectual and ideological echo chambers, out of touch with the American nation and out of step with its political currents.”

Trump Is Losing His Mind

Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

Pope Leo Attacked Trump First

An honest assessment of the feud, free of pearl-clutching hysteria, requires an objective review of the pope’s rhetoric.

Progressive Politics Challenge the Basic Duties of Pittsburgh Cops

The problem for the ICE officers entangled with a suspect outside a Pittsburgh police station in the city’s Allentown neighborhood didn’t begin when several city officers allegedly stood down. Their problem began a handful of miles away, behind a podium, when newly sworn-in Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor said that his officers wouldn’t cooperate with ICE under any circumstances.

Gavin Newsom Will Not Be the Dem Nominee in 2028

He looks like the kind of president that filmmaker Aaron Sorkin would conjure up in the 90s. In fact, there is a solid resemblance between Sorkin’s Andrew Shepherd (played by Michael Douglas in 1995’s The American President) and Gavin Newsom, the current governor of California, who really, really wants to be the 48th president of the U.S.

World War III Has Already Begun

The popular image of a world war is sudden catastrophe, mass mobilization, and unmistakable collapse. That is not what we see today. However, the world is in a great power competition, a distributed struggle for influence, security, and control of critical resources. World War III is not looming. It is underway right now.
