Ken Blackwell, Emotion drives the Left. Feeling good about oneself is one of the highest objectives of liberal politics. Especially when it comes to gun control. Every American should be horrified by the murders in Parkland, Florida. People should be equally angered by the many government failures which allowed an unbalanced young man to murder
Scott Morefield, Liberal narratives don’t die easily, but when they do the fall can often be hard and fast. Consider the “myth of the noble illegal immigrant,” an insistence by a Left longing for more Democratic votes and an Establishment Right longing for more cheap labor that illegal immigrants are uber-law-abiding - indeed, are the
Judge Andrew Napolitano, This is a tale of FBI power misused and presidential trust misplaced. Last week, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s confidant on matters pertaining to national security from June 2015 to February 2017 and his short-lived national security adviser in the White House, pleaded guilty in federal court in Washington,
Daniel Greenfield, When lying to the FBI wasn’t a crime. “There’s always conflicting recollections of facts,” FBI Director Comey said. It was a year ago and Comey was explaining why Hillary’s close aide, Cheryl Mills, not only received an immunity agreement in exchange for turning over her laptop, but a pass on lying to
Pat Buchanan, Our aim is to “starve the whole population — men, women, and children, old and young, wounded and sound — into submission,” said First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. He was speaking of Germany at the outset of the Great War of 1914-1918. Americans denounced as inhumane this starvation blockade that would
Wayne Root, I am sad to bring you a story of what certainly appears to be shocking government abuse, corruption, scandal and violation of trust. I’m sad because it involves a federal government institution I’ve trusted my entire life- the FBI. It’s a national scandal that should leave every American shocked and shaken. Is the FBI
Judge Andrew Napolitano, I am in Switzerland this week interacting with and lecturing to students and faculty at the University of Zurich. The subject of our work is the U.S. Constitution and its protections of personal liberty. In most countries, government has begrudgingly granted snippets of personal liberty to keep those who are demanding it
Alan Dershowitz, Former FBI Director James Comey’s written statement, which was released in advance of his Thursday testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, does not provide evidence that President Trump committed obstruction of justice or any other crime. Indeed it strongly suggests that even under the broadest reasonable definition of obstruction, no such crime was
Ron Hosko, President Trump took a lot of heat for using the word “carnage” in his inauguration speech. But the word is all too accurate in many of America’s major cities. Once proud and productive cities, such as Detroit and New Orleans, have become dens of dependency, with generations hooked on welfare and despair. The
Daniel Greenfield, Chris Hayes goes all in on Black Nationalism with “A Colony in a Nation.” Black Nationalism is hot. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, in which publishing’s answer to Kanye West contended that the white firefighters of 9/11 were “not human”, won a National Book Award. Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped from
John Moody, Ever tried dealing with a playground bully? What shuts him (or her, for our politically correct readers) up fastest? A bloody nose. Bullies operate on the assumption that they are safe from retribution. When they find out that’s not true, they curdle like spoiled milk. Until then, their conduct can only spiral further
Tom Purcell, April is the most miserable month of the year - because that’s when I must make a massive “contribution” to the federal government. It consoles me, however, to learn what some of our greatest minds have to say about taxes. I found their quotations in Inc. Magazine: “We contend that for a nation
