Left’s Vision for America Grows Increasingly Dark

Commentary The Left’s vision for America has grown increasingly dark. Its embrace of identity politics has morphed into an all-out drive for divisiveness, demonizing huge swaths of the American people for purely political purposes.

As the religion of “wokism” continues to grow, censor, and demand sacrifices in the form of shame-induced public apologies at its alter, former leftist-turned-conservative podcasters seek to unapologetically question its pervading narratives. “We are seeing young people grow up with the mindset that they need to reduce themselves down to race, gender, and their sexuality,”…


How Did Democrats Become So Out of Touch With the American People?

‘They’d Help Me Transition’: Daughter of Dad Who Lived as a ‘Woman’ Doubted Own Identity, Calls Out Miseducation

Adolescence is a crazy time in life. It’s when immature teens act bizarrely to impress their peers, when hormones kick in and awkward, changing bodies seem strange to their owners.

News Analysis In 2000, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called “The Tipping Point” that has since been rolled into the conventional wisdom.
