Commentary Elvis swiveling his hips to shrieking fans. The Sex Pistols cursing on live TV. Public Enemy calling for people to “fight the power.” Remember rock and roll rebellion? Our rock stars pushed cultural boundaries and aggravated the squares. They demanded absolutely free expression and hung out with scandalous characters like Lester Bangs and William…
An America-First George Soros
Commentary A few years ago, a friend passed along a warning from his mother, an attorney in the Bay Area who was worried about the upcoming election.

The left’s attack on the nuclear family and the collectivist mindset that is growing in the United States echoes narratives from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), says Morgan Zegers, founder of Young Americans Against Socialism. “The left’s attack on the nuclear family … all goes into that growing support for socialism, that collectivist mindset that we’re…
Questions to Determine Whether a Friend or Relative Is a Liberal or a Leftist
Commentary The great tragedy of our time is that liberals vote left. Virtually every value liberals have held for a century is now held by conservatives and scorned by leftists.

With Death of ‘Happy Warrior’ Limbaugh, Left’s Projection on Display
