Whatever else can be said of
Ben Shapiro, It’s tempting to view President Trump as the end of the American presidential tradition. It’s difficult to imagine George Washington pondering a future president of the United States tweeting out memes of himself clotheslining a CNN-logoed enemy. It would certainly confuse Abraham Lincoln to see the president jabbering about media enemies’ bloody face-lifts
Jack Kerwick, Administrative witch hunt drives out respected scholar. That, of all people, Barack Obama recently received the Kennedy Library’s “Profile in Courage” award proves that the latter has about as much to do with recognizing courage as the Nobel Peace Prize, of which the former President was also a recipient, has to do with

Jack Kerwick, Campus fascists silence Heather Mac Donald. Not long ago, I submitted an essay to a think tank that exists for the sake of exposing the problems of contemporary higher education.

Victor Davis Hanson, Deterrence is the strategy of persuading someone in advance not to do something, often by raising the likelihood of punishment. But in the 21st century, we apparently think deterrence is Neanderthal and appeals to the worst aspects of our natures.

Rachel Marsden, This isn’t your granddaddy’s Saudi Arabia. For decades, America purchased Saudi oil and mostly ignored the country’s human-rights issues, including the treatment of women as second-class citizens, while the Saudi royals enjoyed the benefits of having a rich, thirsty customer who paid on time. But now, Saudi Arabia has become a liability for
Daniel Greenfield, Everyone has got a date for the State of the Union address. Tom Perez and Keith Ellison will be going together. But some Democrats will be bringing illegal aliens along..
