May 31, 2020/by Victor Davis Hanson

Let America Work Again

May 26, 2020/by Pedro Gonzalez

It shouldn’t take planes falling out of the sky or a pandemic to convince American policymakers of the need not only to make great things in America but also to afford Americans the opportunity to make them.

Media Malpractice

The Doctrine of Media Untruth

May 24, 2020/by Victor Davis Hanson

When knowledge, wisdom, independent thought, even basic competence were no longer requisites for success, then the media naturally slid into mediocrity, and mastered networking and obsequiousness instead of valuing independence.

The Shame of Proxy Voting in the House of Representatives

May 30, 2020/by Rachel Bovard

The House of 1814—like the House of the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793, the Spanish Flu of 1918, the Civil War, and 9/11—continued to meet in person, conducting the business of those who elected them. In the shadow of their memory, the House of 2020 finds itself diminished.

The Big Red Fake News Machine

April 14, 2020/by Ray McCoy

Independent media outlets offer an important counterbalance to prevailing mainstream media now compromised by corporate conflicts of interest. But the “independent” label is often contrived as foreign interests and even foreign governments drive the agenda. The Real News Network is one example.

The Revolt Against the American Order

March 21, 2020/by Bradley C.S. Watson

February 22, 2020/by Michael Thau

There’s a simple explanation for the Democratic National Committee’s unwillingness to let outsiders have a peek at evidence its servers were infiltrated by the Russians in 2016: There isn’t any.

Wokeness, Free Speech, and the Role of Education

February 14, 2020/by Roger Kimball

Showdown at Fort Miamis 

February 8, 2020/by Michael S. Kochin

Yea, Though I Walk Through The Uncanny Valley

May 18, 2020/by Ignatius Amadeus

You are being gaslit, but not by a sociopathic manipulator. Instead, the growing psychic pressure is the constricting consensus of an increasingly popular fabricated reality. You are on the business end of a casual conspiracy of complicity.
