If you like Mumford & Sons’ music, you better download it now before the left cancels them too.

A half-dozen timeworn titles by beloved children’s author Theodore Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, will no longer be offered by the author's estate for having purportedly racist content, a sad but predictable play in the age of Woke.

Tuesday’s White House press briefing was more of the same with Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s continued refusal to offer substance on the cancelling of Dr. Seuss, immigration, and scandal-ridden Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).

He told them they should "…

What is it about people who are successful in one field and believe that gives them credence to serve as an expert in a totally unrelated field? Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and reportedly the fourth richest person on the planet, now self-identifies as a climate expert, and not only an expert, but a fervent disciple of the latest religion for the non-religious, which would be "climate…

One would think that outspoken atheist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a feminist critic of religion, would earn the approval of the liberal New York Times. But since it’s the Islamic religion that she abandoned, the Times has treated Hirsi Ali with cool neutrality at best and open hostility at worst. The worst was on display in the paper's Sunday Book Review. Journalist Jill Filipovic’s…

But wait, look at the good news, says historian Johan Norberg.

J.K. Rowling makes her living writing fantasy, but she’s got no time for the fantasies of the transgender movement. The Harry Potter author rejects the fiction that a man can become a woman, and the fashionable belief that that being transgender or going through sex reassignment operation, therapy, etc. is a perfectly normal and healthy aspect of reality.

Former New York Times chief book critic Michiko Kakutani fulfilled her reputation for sucking up to President Barack Obama (while damning biographies that came up short of hagiography) in her long interview, “Self-Portrait Of a Storyteller And a President."
