One of the most pernicious influences on politics over the past almost two decades has been the rise of so-called “fact checkers.” These are websites that purport to correct errors and falsehoods in public discourse. Instead, fact-checkin...

John O'Sullivan, the British conservative commentator, famously articulated what came to be known as “O'Sullivan's first law.” This holds that “All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.” It turns out that there's a Jewish corollary to it: All organizations that have a Jewish orientation but are not actually Orthodox will eventually give their money to anti-Israel, Muslim organizations.

During his tenure in the House of Representatives, Matt Gaetz was a firebrand in the name of conservative politics. What he forgot is that there is no one more vindictive than a politician who is blocked from getting what he or she wants. So, when he left the House in November, he left few friends behind. That may explain why the House Ethics Committee has decided to go ahead and release its report on Gaetz. Gaetz, however, claims that he was denied due process, and if he's correct, this is an utterly sleazy, dishonorable, and vindictive act.

Since the early 2000s, whenever there was a terrorist attack, a meme circulated showing a South Park newscaster saying some variation of “...and it's Islam.” The point, of course, was that no matter how the media tried to hide it, the greater likelihood was that the attacker was Muslim.

Yesterday, a Saudi Arabian man drove his heavy-duty Mercedes through a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing five (as of now) and injuring 200 others. The killer's Saudi background screamed “Muslim!!!” However, we're now being told that the killer is an “ex-Muslim.”

For a couple of days now, I’ve had a video sitting in my inbox about a huge pro-illegal alien protest in Los Angeles. On the one hand, it shows that illegal aliens and their supporters are worried about Trump’s administration, as they sho...

I grew up in a Europe-oriented household, which wasn't a surprise given that my parents were both Europeans. My childhood trips never got further than the Western U.S. because we couldn't afford anything other than long car drives, camping, and Motel 6. However, when I was older, with more money for travel, the people in my life still wanted Europe, always Europe, the center of Western civilization.

Trump won resoundingly in the 2024 election because every demographic in America shifted in his direction. This was especially true for men, with black, Hispanic, and young men as the standouts who abandoned the Democrat party for Trump. Democrats find it inconceivable that these men haven't responded well to a saggy economy and constant attacks against them for their “toxic” masculinity. Clearly, it's just a communication problem.

I was scrolling through the New York Times when a horrible headline caught my eye: “Woman Dies After Being Set on Fire in Subway Car, Police Say.” Curious about who would do something so awful (A scorned lover? A race hater? A mob guy?), I clicked on the article and discovered something increasingly common: A description of the suspect that leaves out one of his most salient features.

Except for his pro-life statements (and who knows how long he'll sing that tune), Pope Francis always seems to align more closely with Marx than with traditional Catholic doctrines. He's all in on climate change, attacks capitalism, supports the mental illness of transgenderism, and wants to take homosexuality out of the “sin” column. It's unsurprising that the
