New York Times Considers PragerU Media Approach

Arguably, one of the best things about Monday is the posting of a new PragerU video online. The brief films are aimed primarily at young people who are poorly served by modern education which seems reluctant to teach the vital historical component of how we got to where we are today.

Interestingly, Churchill biographer Andrew […]

Red China Buys Off American Basketball

Professional basketball is now a global business worth billions of dollars, and the Chinese population of 1.4 billion consumers is very desirable. Chilling on traditional American free speech principles in order to enter that market is an agreeable deal for NBA executives, we are learning.

It’s sad to see the NBA crumble under the big […]

Los Angeles Times: PragerU Is an Internet Sensation

Sunday’s Los Angeles Times front-paged a story about Dennis Prager and his efforts using PragerU videos to educate young people and others about American history and principles, among various other topics.

The Times used the word “indoctrinate” to describe PragerU more than once, although it’s obvious the paper regards its own publication as a […]

A Historian Remembers D-Day

PragerU’s Memorial Day video focuses on June 6, 1944, the day the Allies gambled big to take back Europe from the Nazis.

Peter Caddick-Adams presents a brief review of how close a thing the invasion was, how easily it could have been a disaster if the many deceptions had failed to make the Germans think […]

Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban Visits the White House

President-elect Trump invited Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for a White House visit back in 2016, and the meeting finally happened on Monday.

The PBS Newshour report was typical of the liberal press with its snooty characterization of Orban. NPR called him “Hungary’s authoritarian prime minister” and USA Today thought it was cute to quote […]

PragerU: How the Protestant Reformation Led to Modern Freedoms and the United States of America

Here’s a vital history lesson about the effect of Martin Luther’s revolt against the tyrannical Vatican in creating the modern world of individual rights and self-determination. The publication of Luther’s 95 Theses unleashed a pent-up desire for freedom from Rome that spiraled Europe into centuries of violent but positive change in the long run that […]

“All Africa Is Here” — Many in Illegal Migrant Flow Now Enter via Spain

One of the oddities of European geography is that a tiny bit of Spain exists on the African continent in the small communities of Melilla and Ceuta, as shown in the map below.

Naturally, these spots are a target for invasive Africans hoping to arrive in the freebie paradise on the mainland. Spain has […]

Europe: National Bans on Islamic Face Covering Spread

A rare piece of good news from Europe has appeared regarding its confrontation with muslim immigration: six nations have enacted laws that partially or fully ban face veils in public.

It has been a long time coming to resist the noisy shaming strategy of the invaders, but the political climate has changed a bit over […]

Mark Levin Reviews the Democrat History of Treachery since WWII.

Thanks to author Mark Levin for an instructive rant against the Democrats’ condemnation of President Trump for a dumb misstatement about Russia’s meddling in the 2016 American election.

Appearing on the Hannity show Tuesday, Levin let loose with a short but impassioned chronicle of Democrat electoral sleaze, selling out European allies and downright anti-American activities […]

Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage Debate Suicidal Urges in Western Society

There’s not enough psychological analysis applied to politics and the world situation, but on Wednesday Tucker Carlson and Nigel Farage tried to sort through some larger issues about national sanity. One topic was why does Europe seem bent on suicide — something noticed by many, including Douglas Murray who wrote The Strange Death of Europe. […]

Robert Spencer Explains Why the Crusades Were Not an Evil Attack on Poor Innocent Muslims

Kudos to Robert Spencer for supplying a briefo history of the Crusades that obliterates the whole idiot idea that Islamophobia springs somehow from meanie Christians invading the Middle East in the Middle Ages. Jihadists would have us believe that the Crusades were an unwarranted attack upon peaceful muslims when that is not an accurate history […]

Controversy Continues about President Trump’s Poland Address

President Trump’s Warsaw speech remains a subject for debate in the media. Most reaction from the public has been very upbeat, but the usual suspects in zones like CNN and MSNBC are naysayers regarding the positive remarks about our cultural heritage.

Tucker Carlson found the left’s objections to appreciation of our shared civilization to […]
