The Democrats—and Their New UN Ambassador—‘Cling’ to Racism

Commentary Barack Obama famously accused red state conservatives—Republicans in general, I suppose—of “clinging to their guns and religion.” Condescending and nasty as that was, to some extent he had a point.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Editor and filmmaker Christopher Rufo has been focusing his research on critical race theory (CRT) in K–12 schools for the last four months.

Liberals Unhappy

Commentary Given the irked and fearful state of the liberal temper at the present time, many people might find it hard to believe that liberalism used to be fun.

What Would Billy Graham Say Today About Our Nation’s Division?

A white man killed eight people in a mass shooting in Atlanta, six of whom were Asian and two were white, but the Biden administration and the media labeled it a hate crime against Asian Americans.

It’s No Surprise That Trust in Media Continues to Plummet
