The Left Wants to Abolish Everything, Even This Column

Commentary Any aging baby boomer (like myself) knows that the anthem of the radicals of the 1960s and 1970s was sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Let the good times roll. Back then, the joke was that a conservative was someone who lived in mortal fear that someone, somewhere, was having fun. But if this…

The 20,000 wealthy diplomats, Wall Street financiers, and activists converging on Glasgow—ironically fresh from their…


UN Climate Report Reveals the Crisis Is About Truth, Not Climate

Commentary The United Nations’ latest climate change report sparked predictable hyperventilating. You’ve seen the headlines crying, “Code Red for Humanity” and clamoring about “extreme” and “unprecedented” warming likely to be “irreversible”—accompanied by fear-mongering images of raging wildfires and flooded towns.
