Commentary In today’s woke cultural climate there are certain things you can’t say. You can’t say that chromosomes not surgery, hormones, and clothes determine gender. You can’t say that 38,000 illegal immigrants are currently in U.S. prisons according to the Associated Press. And you can’t say that children from single-mother households have issues. Twelve years…
Woke Capitalism: How Did It Happen?
Commentary It’s hardly news that America’s largest business entities, traditionally regarded as allies of the political right, now openly support radically progressive politics, to the point of bullying conservative-majority states and their politicians that don’t go along. In March, South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem vetoed a bill that would have banned biological males from…
Echoes of Mao: Weaponizing Schools With ‘Critical Race Theory’
Commentary This is part 19 in a series examining education in the United States. Long before California’s infamous “ethnic studies” curriculum made national headlines last month for literally suggesting children chant to the Aztec gods of cannibalism and human sacrifice, the insidious weaponization of “race” and “racism” had already overtaken the nation’s government school system. The racist effort to divide and conquer…
A ‘Woke’ Minority Has Seized America
Commentary The problem with “progressivism” is that—as current events plainly demonstrate—there is no end to it. Once the adherents of Critical Theory turn their basilisk glares on one crucial facet of Western civilization or another, they won’t stop until they have destroyed our entire cultural edifice, and all in the name of “social justice” masquerading…
As Cancel Culture Increases Control of America’s Public Square, Conservatives Are Responding
Commentary In his speech at Mount Rushmore last July 4, former President Donald J. Trump showed how well he understood the agenda of the increasingly radical American progressive left when it comes to their determination to change America’s cultural foundations. Standing in front of the sculpted faces of some of America’s greatest presidents, Trump told…
The Coalition of the Un-Woke
Commentary The metastasis of the “woke” ideology is the most comprehensive threat facing the American republic. It is appallingly totalitarian, insofar as the woke wield the levers of cancel culture to suppress all dissident speech, root out all wrongthink and achieve by sheer force an intellectual homogeneity. It is outright racist, insofar as intersectionality and…

Today’s Obsession With Race
It was a common trope of the extreme right in France before the war that no Jew could really understand Racine. This was because a Jew had no true homeland and none of the national roots (oddly enough, Racine means root in French) essential to a true, visceral appreciation of the great tragedian’s poetry. He…
Dancing With the Woke: It’s Time for Liberals to Change Partners
Commentary “Woke” is one of the presently accepted terms employed to celebrate the presumed superiority of the neo-Marxist “social justice warrior.” “Wokeness” is a particularly useful ideological brand for Western Marxists because it allows them to disassociate themselves from inconvenient historical labels such as Bolsheviks, Nazis, Fascists, and Maoists and confuse their opponents by adopting…
