The Left Wants America to Be Less White

The obsession of elites over Race and Racism to the exclusion of almost everything else now is really remarkable. The alleged victimhood of certain tribes is a top narrative every day in the news. The group to blame, the media now asserts, is white people.

The United States was founded and designed by white Protestant […]

Democrats Want to Leverage Pandemic Lockdowns to More Extreme Control over “Climate”

It’s interesting how Democrat governors across the nation have instituted more destructive pandemic policies than Republicans. For example, California under D-Gov. Gavin Newsom has suffered months of lockdowns that have caused many business to fail while Florida has been getting along with fewer restrictions under Ron DeSantis (R). You might suspect that Democrat leaders don’t […]

Pelosi’s Petulant Performance Panned by Perceptive Public

The 2020 State of the Union event was quite the political show. President Trump discussed policy successes, from the economic expansion to improved border control (with Mexico’s help, as it happened).

Through it all, Speaker Pelosi lurked above, busily turning pages, shaking her head negatively and mouthing disapproval. It was what psychologists call “passive aggressive […]

Nigel Farage Reflects upon Brexit Success

Supporters of the nation-state form of government in Britain are happy citizens today, now that the Brexit divorce from the European Union has been made official. It’s been a long time coming since 2016 when the referendum passed, because globalist elites resisted stubbornly. The rich and powerful prefer the distance from troublesome voters that an […]

Elizabeth Warren Imagines a “Ministry of Truth” to Stamp Out Badthink

Attentive citizens probably have noticed that Elizabeth Warren has long had a tenuous relationship with the truth. Most famously, she posed as a Cherokee Indian in order to get a slot as a diverse professor at Harvard, a lie for which she later apologized during her presidential campaign.

She has a lot of crazy left […]

Peter Schweizer Explains How Socialist Bernie Sanders Became a Millionaire by Scamming Government

Peter Schweizer’s new book, Profiles in Corruption, spends around 70 pages reporting on the Biden family business of using government to become rich as reported here recently, but Senator and Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is no slouch either.

Mark Levin interviewed Schweizer on his Sunday show, and the author discussed how the Vermont socialist became […]

The Sob Story That Failed: a New Book Fails to Satisfy Diverse Immigration Enthusiasts

Sunday’s New York Times front-paged a curious story that demonstrates an ideological flare-up between different leftist beliefs. On one side was the traditional sob story approach toward illegal aliens, that they are suffering world citizens who should be rescued by too-rich, too-white America.

The newer, more controversial viewpoint is that only the victims or actual […]

Author Christopher Caldwell Tackles the Roots of Voter Anger

Christopher Caldwell does not write that many books — Google shows just a handful — but he is an insightful author. I wrote a review in 2009 for The Social Contract about Refections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West and found him unafraid to speak the obvious unpleasant truths about unwise […]

Mark Steyn: the Democrats Promised Impeachment, but Where Is Act II?

Speaker Pelosi can’t be happy about how 2019 has turned out for the Democrats. She was hoping for a boffo impeachment spectacle, but it was dull as cardboard and the hearings included nothing even vaguely improper about President Trump’s behavior.

As a result, Americans didn’t flock to the cause of removing the president after […]

Jeff Sessions Observes There Is “Zero Chance” of Trump Being Removed

It’s pretty crazy that the Democrats were so hot to impeach President Trump — because he was an immediate threat to the security of the Republic or something — but now Speaker Pelosi doesn’t want to send her victory to the Senate.

It’s not exactly news that the Republican-run Senate will not be friendly to […]

Danger: Impeachment Could Become Normalized

On Friday, December 13, the New York Times front-paged a rather unusual opinion piece that was not a typical liberal celebration of the impeachment process. Instead, it warned that the current effort to remove President Trump was a dangerous escalation of politics in Washington.

The article noted that the filibuster was once a rare […]

Levin: Nearly Every Past President Would Be Impeached under Today’s Democrat Rules

Author Mark Levin appeared on the Hannity TV show on Thursday, where he displayed his extensive historical knowledge reflecting upon the Democrats’ coup/impeachment efforts against President Trump. Previous presidents — even D-party members — have committed sketchy acts that were far worse than whatever President Trump is alleged to have done. But the Dems have […]
