Commentary Modern progressives assume moral and intellectual authority. Consequently, their supposedly superior ends naturally justify almost any means necessary to achieve them. Among the elite, the Democrats’ “blue-wall” states were once considered a testament to the wisdom of the Electoral College. When that wall crumbled in 2016 to Donald Trump, the Electoral College suddenly was…
Biden’s Reality Rejection Syndrome
Commentary I have been trying to understand why President Joe Biden and the Big Government Socialists keep saying and doing things that simply do not work. Their problem is not just a question of being too far to the left. Their problem is rejecting reality when it conflicts with their ideological fanaticism. President Ronald Reagan…
Why the Left Will Cut Biden Loose
Commentary Republican pundits and conservative activists are debating whether they can win in 2024 with the successful Trump agenda, but without the controversial former President Donald Trump as their nominee. The Democrats have a similar, but far more serious dilemma with President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2024. Unlike the Trump administration’s…
What Do ‘Men Give Birth’ and ‘Defund the Police’ Have in Common?
Commentary Unless you are brainwashed, you regard the statements “men give birth” and “defund the police” as absurd. Why, then, do leftists (as opposed to liberals and conservatives) say these things and even believe them? I think there are two—related—explanations. One is that the Left seeks to tear down every normative institution. If men give…
Herbert Marcuse Versus the Radical Youth
The following story is adapted from Bauerlein’s recent book, “The Dumbest Generation Grows Up: From Stupefied Youth to Dangerous Adults.” Back in April 1969, a surprisingly conservative thing happened at the ultra-progressive campus of SUNY–Old Westbury when radical theorist Herbert Marcuse visited to give a lecture to the students. Michael Novak describes the episode in…
Tearing Down the Silicon Valley Wall
Commentary Elon Musk has finally managed to buy Twitter. And the moment he did, the enraged Left flipped out. Abruptly leftists began trashing their favorite electronic communications platform as the domain of the nation’s elite, professional classes. Had they just discovered that they had been racists and privileged users all this time? And what happened…
The New York Times, Left-Wing Propaganda Machine
Commentary The New York Times demonstrates why Gallup polling late last year showed only 36 percent of Americans saying they trust media a “great deal” or “fair” amount. Times reporters have brought fire to the feet of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, reporting on a recording of private remarks that McCarthy made to other Republicans…
What the Left Has Done to Women
Commentary As I have documented on a number of occasions, the Left ruins everything it touches. There is no exception. From universities to high schools and now including even elementary schools, to late-night TV, to sports, to the arts and, increasingly, science, the Left is a destruction machine. And nowhere is this damage more evident…
Canadian Novelist Explores Our Western ‘Identity Crisis’
Commentary Novels can move hearts and change minds in ways that cannot always be achieved by exposure to academic analysis. Late last century, the distinguished American jurist Robert H. Bork published a book titled, “Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline.” For conservatives in the Reagan and Harper eras, Bork’s book was a blockbuster;…
Curry Injures Left Foot in Warriors Blowout Loss to Celtics
SAN FRANCISCO—Stephen Curry went down with a left foot injury late in the first half and Golden State coach Steve Kerr didn’t like Marcus Smart’s lunging move at the reigning NBA scoring champ. Smart got an earful from Kerr, then they chatted again after the Boston Celtics beat the Warriors 110–88 on Wednesday night. “I…
