Say what you will about Donald Trump, he makes the rest of Washington say remarkably dumb things. Especially when it comes to sacred totems that Everyone Knows Are True and Good but few people actually understand. Like NATO. To clear the air up front: Trump has not possessed laser-like precision or been a model of […]

Progressives Just Never Get It
There is no equality in nature, and there never will be. Nature’s law rules supreme: “Eat or be eaten.” That’s the real world. Government jobs are not real jobs. They produce mostly paperwork, and consistently need to be reduced versus private sector jobs. America must dramatically reduce the size of the federal bureaucracy, cut the […]
Israel: Now the Natural Home of the Jews Forever
At The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan explains that without the ability to live together peacefully, the ultimate alternative will be “secession from one another.” He writes: On July 19, the Knesset voted to change its nation’s Basic Law.

Caving In to Academic Bullies
