In past years I have suggested going beyond Christmas and other holiday gifts that will soon be forgotten, returned or worn out, in favor of one that will last for generations to come. Last year I wrote about the Children’s Scholarship Fund, which provides private school tuition for poor and middle-class children in failing public schools. Not only do the private schools offer them a better…

Communism didn’t win the Cold War, but it’s doing surprisingly well in the 21st century, including in America. Elsewhere, especially in East Asia, Communism is the tyrannical creed of a ruling class that stays in power by jailing its opponents — or rolling tanks over them. Here, especially on college campuses, Communism is a status marker and a way to make murder seem cool. Fascism isn’t the…

Democrats are slowly, but surely, building a permission structure for progressive activists to kill those they determine are bad. From the rise of antisemitism to, now, the murder of an insurance CEO, few Democrats seem capable of condemning violence without adding a “but.” To their credit, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania have condemned both without buts.…

Before this time of the month was hijacked by the secular progressives as “the holidays” in deference to everyone – except the ones who have a real reason for the season – it was called Christmas. Associated with Christmas, including sentiments on cards we once sent to friends and family before the postage rates and cost of cards became too expensive for many, were the words from Scripture…

One question emerging from the presidential election exit polls is the disconnect between Black men and women and Hispanic men and women. Donald Trump received support from 21% of Black men and 7% of Black women, a disparity of 14 points. He got support from 54% of Hispanic men and 39% of Hispanic women, a disparity of 15 points. There was also a disparity in Trump’s support among white men…

After months of insisting he would not pardon his son Hunter, President Joe Biden did just that -- as almost anyone other than left-wing cable news legal analysts and Trump-hating late-night comics expected. In doing so, Biden effectively confirmed the Trump “conspiracy theory” of a two-tiered justice system. The pardon covers not only Hunter Biden’s convictions on tax and gun charges but also…

Some union leaders are self-destructive idiots.

America’s ports have fallen behind. Not a single one ranks in the top 50 worldwide. A big reason is that dock unions stop innovation. This fall, the International Longshoremen’s Association shut down East and Gulf coast ports, striking for a raise and a ban on automation. They got the raise. Now union president Harold Daggett says…

As we gather this Thanksgiving, it’s easy to take abundance for granted. Leftovers are practically guaranteed. It wasn’t always this way. For most of history, there were no Thanksgiving feasts. Hunger, if not starvation, was the norm. Today, supermarkets are stocked with exotic foods from all over the world. Most of it is more affordable than ever. Even after President Joe Biden’s 8% inflation…

As they carve their turkeys this year, Republicans can be grateful for Donald Trump, mapmaker. He’s redrawn America’s political geography — not only winning back the White House for himself but pointing the way to victory for his party four years from now. Before Trump, the major industrial states touching the Great Lakes were out of Republicans’ reach. Only Ohio was winnable for the GOP, but…

Isaac Newton’s third law of motion famously states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction: If you push an object, for example, the object pushes back against you with equal force. It turns out this isn’t just a law of physics. It’s a law of politics. President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks thus far have run the gamut from traditional and well-established (Sen.…

Of the television commentators who routinely disparaged, attacked, demeaned, and mocked former President Donald Trump and his supporters, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, co-hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” belong to the “A” team. Yet, after Trump’s extraordinary victory two weeks ago, including a sweep of all seven swing states and becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to…

People eagerly give money to rich environmental groups. The Natural Resources Defense Council has $463 million in assets. It claims it uses law “to confront the climate crisis.” What it really does is pay lawyers to torture people who try to do useful things. Example: America needs minerals like copper and silver to make things. Even President Joe Biden made a speech saying America will need…

With the liberal media’s post-election meltdown bullet train hitting breakneck speed, Senior Research Analyst Bill D’Agostino and I dove into the histrionics over this week’s personnel moves and the left refusing to consider its positions on illegal immigration in light of the voting public’s resounding support for President Trump’s deportation agenda.

Dear Democrats, It is going to be OK. It really will. You’ll have the midterms in two years. There’ll be another presidential election in four years. Those of you reading this insisting there will be no more elections are no better than the idiots on my side who think 2020 was stolen and that if Kamala Harris had won, there would be no more elections.
