The NBA’s Political Lecture Season Is Back

After the Border Patrol shooting of Alex Pretti, the NBA decided it should make the shooting all about itself and its brand as the wokest sports league in America. The NBA postponed a game between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves, citing “safety” concerns, as if Border Patrol agents would be stalking the streets of Minneapolis, prepared to shoot NBA fans.

Spanberger’s Californification of Virginia

California has the highest energy and housing costs in the continental U.S., tand he nation’s highest unemployment and poverty rates. But Abigail Spanberger, who has just been sworn in as the new governor of Virginia, has apparently seen these results and has decided she wants to inflict on her state exactly what California has suffered under Democratic management.

What’s the Matter with Minnesota?

Minnesotans have built a high-tax, high-spending state government. Like Scandinavians, they have trusted the state to provide services and have trusted individuals not to cheat in claiming benefits. Public support for these programs, as in Scandinavia, has traditionally been founded on confidence that aid goes only to the genuinely deserving.

On This Jan. 6, Remember the Violence of 2020’s BLM Riots

Democrats like to use it as an example, ad nauseam, of the dangers of Trump’s powers and the devotion of his followers. But while they regularly cite Jan. 6 as a dark day in the nation’s history due to the carnage at the Capitol, they conspicuously lack the same appetite to offer similar criticism for the much more violent, destructive, and damaging riots of Black Lives Matter and antifa in 2020.

Never, Ever Give Up Your Guns

The response of the Australian government to the shooting should fill every Jew in Australia with dread. “The government is prepared to take whatever action is necessary,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced. “Included in that is the need for tougher gun laws.”

Taiwan Indeed Needs a Gun Culture

Taiwan faces the growing threat of an invasion by China. Beijing dwarfs Taipei in nearly every respect. But a very American solution can help Taiwan better deter a Chinese invasion. Taiwan, a former U.S. national security adviser has observed, should develop a “gun culture.”

The Climate Catastrophizer Model Meltdown

On the heels of Democratic Party donor Bill Gates reversing course by admitting that climate change will not “decimate civilization,” the prestigious scientific journal, Nature, officially retracted a key pillar of climate alarmism this week, functionally admitting that much of the anti-energy policy pushed by global elites has no basis in fact.

The Dems’ Reckless Call for Military Disobedience

Elected Democrats have every right, indeed, they have a duty, to conduct oversight over the president’s use of the military to defend the nation. But what they may not do is encourage service members to disobey orders they don’t like, and that is what six Dem politicians did last week. It was a disgraceful and foolish thing to do.

Dems Are Openly Calling for a Military Mutiny

There is a very thin line between irresponsible rhetoric and mutiny, and six sitting members of Congress came perilously close to crossing it earlier this week. A mutiny doesn’t need to resemble the dramatic Mutiny on the Bounty; it can just as easily take the form of a video urging U.S. military personnel to defy “illegal orders” from their commander in chief.
