Peter Berkowitz, By his flamboyance, crudity, and eclectic priorities as well as by his explicit statements, President Donald Trump has made it clear that the Republican Party is not identical to conservatism. That has always been true of the modern GOP dominated by Ronald Reagan’s long shadow. But the 2016 divergence was of unprecedented proportions.
Frank Camp, As part of Saturday’s “Women’s March,” Madonna gave a rather unhinged speech in which she said: “Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. But I know that this won’t change anything. We cannot fall into despair.” Let’s put the shoe
Jane S. Shaw, Faculty and students at nearly 200 colleges and universities have petitioned their administrations to make their schools “sanctuaries,” to prevent the deportation of students who are illegal immigrants.

David Horowitz, An excerpt from David Horowitz’s new book, “Big Agenda.” Ironically, it was a billionaire businessman who broke the mold in the 2016 presidential campaign and brought a new voice into Republican politics.

Lauren Enriquez, What do you think of when you hear the term, “pro-life”? Perhaps you imagine angry protesters berating women as they enter an abortion clinic, or someone waving a Rosary while pontificating about the sinfulness of abortion.

Rachel Marsden, How will history remember 2016? Two clear themes emerged over the past year: nationalization (or de-globalization) and asymmetry. Brave individuals stared down an entire system and won with the support of the average citizen.

Jack Kerwick, James Kirchick’s latest article at The Daily Beast—“The Jews Begging to Join the Alt-Right”—is a ramshackle assemblage of non sequiturs, ad hominem attacks, and strawman fallacies that Kirchick, himself a Jew, tries to pass off as a reasoned argument. The first thing of which to take note is that at the core of
Newt Gingrich, The election of Donald Trump marks the third great effort to break free from Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal system that has dominated American government for more than 80 years.
