BEDFORD, Pennsylvania -- For a brief moment, it was like stepping back in time when a series of 1920s Bentley Roadsters chugged up along the ridge of the winding Lincoln Highway in the mountains of Somerset County. The drivers and passengers alike were wearing goggles, their scarves billowing in the wind.

The smiles on their faces, so ...Read more

I doubt that there is any national or religious group that produces the percentage of people who aid those who wish to hurt, let alone kill, that group as do Jews.

When one observes Jews who defend those whose raison d'etre is the annihilation of the one Jewish country on Earth, you have to ask: Why are there no others like them? Were there ...Read more

I recently gave a speech about open borders, why it's happening, who benefits, and what's behind it -- "the great replacement." My speech was delivered at a conservative conference put on by and attended by sheriffs from across the USA.

My speech brought down the house and ended with a standing ovation. That's what happens when people get to ...Read more

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign was much criticized for being "too online." But Democrats are no less prone to fall into that same trap. Now-Vice President Kamala Harris's 2020 presidential campaign, which generated considerable initial buzz before it abruptly sputtered, was infamous for listening too much to ...Read more

Mohamed Abdou is a pro-Hamas "anarchist interdisciplinary activist-scholar of Indigenous, Black, critical race, and Islamic studies, as well as gender, sexuality, abolition, and decolonization" at Columbia University. Now, I don't mean to pick on Abdou. It's just that he happens to teach virtually every trendy pseudo-intellectual identitarian ...Read more

Some House Republicans have decided they will oust Speaker Mike Johnson. Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, among others, argue that the Democrats are already in control of the House by proxy, so make it reality. A sizable segment of the Republican base feels the same way. They lack the imagination to think...Read more

The national media consider themselves essential in educating the electorate, so what happens when the electorate does not consider them a trustworthy guardian of democracy?

The Associated Press and the American Press Institute just released a poll on the 2024 election and found only 14% of their sample expressed "a great deal of confidence in ...Read more

Within the past 48 hours, student protesters occupied Hamilton Hall at Columbia University and then were forcibly removed by New York police. I knew that building well when I was an undergrad there in the 1970s.

Columbia, like most colleges, tended left. The campus had become notorious in 1968 for its protests. By the time I arrived in 1975, ...Read more

As the philosopher and baseball player Yogi Berra once (supposedly) said, it's deja vu all over again. Student protesters are occupying campuses of famed universities across the country. In New York, Columbia University protesters occupied administrative offices in Hamilton Hall and were cleared out by police, exactly 56 years to the day after...Read more

WASHINGTON -- It took the threat of being jailed to move former President Donald Trump to show some respect for the criminal justice system.

On Tuesday, Judge Juan Merchan fined Trump $9,000 -- the $1,000 maximum for nine violations of a gag order that Merchan had imposed on Trump's "extrajudicial statements."

Because the loss of $9,000 ...Read more

When James Madison was a member of Congress in 1791 and charged with drafting the Bill of Rights, he made two grammatical demands. One was that the word "the" precede "freedom of speech" in the First Amendment, and the other was a command in the Ninth Amendment that the "rights retained by the people," rights too numerous to enumerate, "shall ...Read more

The decay in American education is an alarming national security threat. Most high school or college graduates know about little more than their sexual orientation or Taylor Swift's juvenile lyrics and strutting. They are unable to write a single, succinct, evocative sentence, like the magnificence of a "rosy-fingered dawn." They could not ...Read more

American federalism is struggling. Federal rules are an overwhelming presence in every state government, and some states, due to their size or other leverage, can impose their own policies on much or all of the country. The problem has been made clearer by an under-the-radar plan to phase out diesel locomotives in California. If the federal ...Read more

The pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests have spread to university campuses across the country, just as the agitators hoped (and planned) for them to do. As was also expected, some of these protests have turned violent. A Jewish student was poked in the face with a flagpole at Yale University and hospitalized; another Jewish ...Read more

On April 30, vile words and violent deeds on New York City's Columbia University campus exposed self-proclaimed pro-Hamas protestors as what they really are: an anti-American proxy army of vicious political saboteurs sponsored by ayatollah Iran and hard-left progressive billionaires.

Prog billionaires don't get all the blame. Fair bet money ...Read more

America's college campuses are in a state of complete meltdown -- at least in blue states, where administrators cater to the whims of these America-hating dolts. But why are these students -- the most privileged people in literally world history -- LARPing as terrorists and stanning for murderous groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian ...Read more

The current demonstrations on college campuses against Israel remind some of the unrest on college campuses during the 1960s.

But the comparison is not a good one.

The unrest of the 1960s was defined by the war in Vietnam and by the Civil Rights Movement. Both had practical, personal impact on young Americans in their own country.

American ...Read more

It's one thing to die from natural causes. Worse, to die from a disease leaked by Chinese scientists in a lab and allowed to wipe out millions. That is now almost certainly the explanation for the origins of COVID-19.

And even worse? U.S. taxpayers paid for it.

The U.S. government hasn't learned a thing. Disease watchers are tracking the ...Read more

President Joe Biden says, "I know how to make government work!" You'd think he'd know. He's worked in government for 51 years. But the truth is, no one can make government work. Biden hasn't. Look at the chaos at the border, our military's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the rising cost of living, our unsustainable record-high debt. ...Read more

When Secretary of State Antony Blinken held a press conference last week to announce that the State Department was releasing its 2023 country reports on human rights practices, he said the People's Republic of China was engaging in genocide in Xinjiang Province.

"The report documents atrocities reminiscent of humanity's darkest moments," ...Read more
