The leftist media cannot give license to rioters to destroy as they please and then act outraged when people try to defend themselves. If the media had condemned the rioters on day one, maybe the police would have been in a better position to enforce their curfew by night three — and the Rittenhouse shootings would have never happened.

Good Riddance to Brian Williams
Where are their viewers supposed to go now for vacuous, rambling commentary, the latest updates on left-wing Twitter, and semi-regular reminders of the pundit class’s generally below-average intellect? In Williams’s nearly 30 years with NBC, he perfected a signature move: responding to breaking news events with an affected somberness, soliloquizing gravely on the historical implications of said events while waxing poetic about justice, society, and What It All Means™. If only he had something meaningful to say.
Aaron Rodgers Let His Team Down
Being a public health risk and not being able to play are both bad. As an elite athlete, he should want to help his team win games. That includes getting the vaccine. Rodgers didn’t. Instead, his team had to start its backup quarterback, and the Packers only scored one touchdown in the loss. The only thing Rodgers has gotten right is that the Right shouldn’t champion him because a vaccine is neither left-wing nor right-wing — it’s a vaccine.
Republicans Can Win By Ignoring Trump
Of the many lessons from Tuesday’s election results, one is this: The GOP can do well without former President Donald Trump. He may have propelled the party to victory in 2016, but last year was a disaster. More and more, it appears as if his 2016 victory was a one-off. Republicans should look at it that way.
Biden Dems Lose Big — and on Cultural Issues
Joe Biden returned Wednesday morning to a nation that no longer supports him or his party.
With McAuliffe’s Defeat, the Clinton Brand Means Basically Nothing Now
It’s a big fall from the 1990s, when Bill Clinton held the White House. It’s a big fall from 2008, when a significant portion of the Democratic Party and its base believed then-Sen. Hillary Clinton was the natural choice for the presidential nomination, and from 2016, when the Democratic Party tipped the scales decisively in Hillary Clinton’s favor.
For Dems, All Republicans Are Trump
Trump may have lost the 2020 election, but he has defeated the Democrats’ sanity in a landslide. Most voters have completely moved on from Trump, but Democrats remain as obsessed with him as they ever have been.
No, White People Didn’t Invent Slavery and Conquest
As far as chattel slavery in the West is concerned, a good number of African natives operated on the business end of things. You know, for a political faction that puts such an emphasis on representation, it seems weird to erase the history of black and brown conquest. Don’t give white people all the credit!
Media to Chappelle and Sinema: Conform or Else
If you’re a member of a historically marginalized group, and you don’t also support whatever line the ultra-progressive crowd has adopted at the moment, then all bets are off. You’re a fraud, a fiend, and a traitor to your own people.
The Left and Right Each Have a Jan. 6 Myth
Some of Trump’s greatest enemies love to view the day as worse than Sept. 11, 2001. This is a slap in the face to the thousands of Americans who lost loved ones in coordinated terror attacks.
Why Didn’t the Abraham Accords Win the Nobel Peace Prize?
The prize should have been shared between former President Donald Trump, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Emirati President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Sudanese Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and Moroccan King Mohammed VI. The accords were the first nation-to-nation Middle East peace deals in 25 years.
Give No-Show Buttigieg Full-Time Paternity Leave — Abolish Department of Transportation
The new adoptive father took paternity leave starting two months ago and has been missing in action ever since, just when the nation’s transportation infrastructure has come under unprecedented pressure.
Unlike Other Activist Athletes, Kyrie Irving Is Actually Taking a Principled Stand
Irving very well may be misguided, but there is no doubt that he is actually risking his career for something he believes in. That is more than can be said about the other athletes who obediently spout whatever social justice talking points are popular while collecting millions of dollars in our liberal-dominated culture.
Gas Prices Hit a Seven-Year High and Biden Remains as Clueless as Ever
Under former President Donald Trump, the United States achieved effective energy independence. It became a net exporter of petroleum products and, for a brief moment in time, crude oil.
Biden’s $3.5 Trillion Spending Bill Ramps Up the Left’s Assault on Marriage
For 60 years, the Left has trying to supplant families with social engineering programs. Virtually every means-tested program — Medicaid, food stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, public housing, and Obamacare, to name just a few — punish people by stanching the flow of benefits to those who get married.
We Can Celebrate Both Columbus Day and Indigenous People’s Day
Judging Columbus through the eyes of 21st-century social justice advocates is unfair. Judging his actions in the context of the 15th century is more honest. The notion that Native Americans were all living in peace before 1492 is a fanciful myth. Indigenous people were conquering and killing and enslaving and sacrificing each other long before any European settler set foot in North America.
Trump Needs to Decide to Build a 2024 Campaign or Become a 2020 Bore
The greatest threat to his chances is his own obsession with the processes of the 2020 election and his apparently irresistible urge to bombard audiences — anyone, actually — with long diatribes about the results. To be more than a grievance candidate, Trump needs to move beyond that.
Another Washed-Up Trump Hanger-On Cashes in
There i$ no rea$on to doubt Stephanie Gri$ham’$ motive$. After five long year$ of loyally $erving Trump, $he ha$ $imply $een the error of her way$.
The Left’s Hate Machine Is Going to Get More People Hurt
People have every right to criticize and even insult their lawmakers. They have a right to communicate, even to shout and scream. That’s the First Amendment in action. But when you start going to people’s homes and following them into restrooms, you are crossing the line.
Conservatives Should Fear a Canada-Like Future
To be Canadian meant being kinder, more cooperative, more statist, more highly taxed, more United Nations-compliant, and, not least, readier to repudiate your national story. Wokery embedded itself in the national consciousness, spreading through schools and colleges.
What’s Happening in Australia Will Happen in the U.S. If We, Too, Lose the Plot
To watch what is happening in Australia right now is to watch a once-liberally democratic nation devolve into outright tyranny. Citizens in some areas are being locked inside their homes and monitored by police, and anyone who dares protest the states’ strict coronavirus lockdown measures faces imprisonment, hefty fines, and even brutal physical attacks by law enforcement.
Biden Deliberately Created the Illegal Immigration Crisis
The crisis at the southern border is not based on an unexpected surprise: this is a pre-planned implementation of Biden’s preferred policy against the desires and interests of most of his countrymen. This violation of norms and the spirit of U.S. immigration laws is destabilizing, and it is nefarious. It warrants a major investigation into who is behind it and why.
Biden and Harris Are Unfit for Office and Should Resign
Rep. Billy Long: When Republicans take back the House and Senate, we will hold this entire administration accountable. In the meantime, someone must be held responsible for the disastrous state of our government. If the Democrats can impeach Trump for a phone call, Biden and Harris must be removed for their total and complete dereliction of duty.
The Whips and Scorns of Del Rio, Texas
The Border Patrol officers on horseback were doing their jobs in tough circumstances and should be thanked and supported, not criticized or punished. But in America today, no one working diligently to enforce the law is supported by either the Left in general or by this administration.
