The Democratic Party media wrings its hands whenever President Trump appoints loyalists to fill key slots in the federal bureaucracy, as if it’s abnormal for a CEO to want trusted deputies to execute his agenda. Yet for too long we have seen swamp monsters and deep state lurkers openly and secretly sabotage the president’s America
What are the real roots of globalism, the ideology of the party of Davos, transnational corporations, of many U.S. Democrats, and their counterparts in Europe and elsewhere today? First, a definition. “Globalism” is one world government run on the basis of democratic socialism and world citizenship. From the globalist perspective, all of world history is
The National Conservatism Conference first came to public attention in July, when its Washington, D.C., conference was widely covered in the media and generated scores of essays on the effort to combine traditional conservative ideas with the spirit of national sovereignty now sweeping the developed democracies. Now, the National Conservatism Conference held in Rome on
The World Health Organization, a part of the United Nations, has proposed an official name, COVID-19, for the illness caused by the Wuhan coronavirus, after the city in China where it emerged.

Democratic presidential candidates want to make the U.S. border an existential problem. If anybody has doubts about that, check out Joe Biden’s recent interview with Mexican government mouthpiece Jorge Ramos, who thinks he has a right to set U.S. policy.

The Trump Administration recently unveiled its 2021 budget proposal, featuring some of the largest cuts to discretionary spending ever proposed by a White House.
