Ukraine: What Is in America’s Interest?

Commentary As a result of the Russian invasion and partial destruction of Ukraine, the question “What is in America’s interest?” is the question of the day. Specifically, how much should America get involved in defending Ukraine? On the Left, the question “What is in America’s interest?” is moot. On the Left, “America’s interest” is regarded…


The Cathedral of the Left

Commentary I was taken recently by Ben Domenech’s recent column in the Transom (a newsletter I read for its insightful comments). Domenech describes the driving force trying to reshape and remake America into a subservient Big Government Socialist system which imposes woke values whether you want them or not as “the Cathedral.” Consider his analysis…


Why Is the Left Suddenly Worried About the End of Democracy?

Commentary What is behind recent pessimistic appraisals of democracy’s future, from Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Brian Williams and other elite intellectuals, media personalities, and politicians on the Left? Some are warning about its possible erosion in 2024. Others predict democracy’s downturn as early 2022, with scary scenarios of “autocracy” and Trump “coups.” To answer that…


The ‘Woke’ Got What They Wanted—and Then What?

Commentary The “woke” movement was giddy after Jan. 20, 2021. The Left controlled both houses of Congress. Joe Biden was drafted as the necessary veneer of 1980s Democratic normality to ram through an otherwise hard Left agenda. All the major cultural, financial, economic, entertainment, and media institutions had played various roles in seeing former president…


A Brief Guide to Leftist Destruction

Commentary To understand the modern world, perhaps the most important rule one needs to know is this: Everything the Left touches it ruins. This first became clear to me years ago during my radio show. I was talking about the Left’s war on the Boy Scouts (for not accepting announced gay people). It was becoming…


Gay Pariahs, Unvaccinated Pariahs, the Left, and the Truth

Commentary Last week in an interview on Newsmax, I said: “During the AIDS crisis, can you imagine if gay men and intravenous drug users, who were the vast majority of the people with AIDS, had they been pariahs the way the non-vaccinated are? But it would have been inconceivable. And it should have been inconceivable;…


House Progressives Detach From Reality

Commentary Rep. Cori Bush, a Democrat left-wing “squad” member in the House, attacked Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin for his opposition to the multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better Act. Manchin is “anti-Black, anti-child, anti-woman, and anti-immigrant,” according to Bush because of his opposition to this megaspending welfare bill. If Bush wants to identify politicians hurting blacks, children,…


Is Stealing Wrong? Not on the Left

Commentary To most readers of this column, the question is absurd. The reason is not because the question is, in fact, absurd; it is because most readers of this column are conservative, and many are religious. Am I implying that most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong? Yes, I am. As incredible as this…


The Left Is Evil—and Liberals Keep Voting for Them

Commentary As I have noted repeatedly, liberalism and leftism have virtually nothing in common. In fact, leftism is the enemy of liberalism—as a handful of liberals such as former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, former Young Turk Dave Rubin and others have come to recognize. The Left has never believed in free speech and…


How the Left Speaks Openly by Telling Unbelievable Lies

Commentary Over at the American Greatness website the other day, Dan Gelernter wrote a most interesting column headed: “The Left Can Finally Admit What it Wants,” in which he reminds us of certain items on the Left’s agenda that Democrats once had to keep hidden from voters but that now, he writes, they are more…
