It’s Not About the AR-15
Gun grabbers have a peculiar tendency to invoke guns’ use as sporting devices as a rationale for gun control. Take actor Matthew McConaughey, who just last week seems to have charmed the pants off of some Americans, and even some gun r... → Read More
Pro-Abortion Leftists Go All In on Eugenics
On the legal front, it appears that Roe v. Wade may soon suffer a calamitous defeat. But its defenders continue to insist that Roe remains popular with the American people because they have already won American hearts and minds about the m... → Read More
Time to Abolish Unconstitutional and Useless Mask Mandates
You have "no constitutional right to walk around without a mask," says the Republican governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan. You'll invariably hear such declarative statements as a line of defense by those who support government mask mandates.

It’s Time to Roll Back the Mask Mandates, Not Ramp Them Up Ridiculously
Joe Biden recently made an effort to turn the mask hysteria up to 11, saying, “Every single American should be wearing a mask when they are outside for the next three months at a minimum. Every governor should mandate mask wearing.”... → Read More

Feminism Is Working Overtime to Destroy Film
In a recent op-ed disguised as a movie review at the New York Post, film critic Sara Stewart proclaims that "Quentin Tarantino's exploitation has no place in Hollywood anymore." Why did she pen this obituary about Tarantino's relevance in Hollywood today? Well, the eccentric (but arguably brilliant) director is just not woke enough for 2019, she posits. You realize a curious thing about halfway… → Read More
A Different Take on Trump’s Tweet Storm About ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen
President Trump was raked over the coals by both the left and right for his tweet storm on Sunday, suggesting: > “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of… → Read More
America’s Road to Socialism Has Been Cobbled by Taxation and Debt
Every now and again, you’ll hear someone argue that a fundamental transformation of the American economy is necessary because we are in the throes of something called “late-stage capitalism.” Wealth inequality has reached an unacceptable tipping point, they typically argue, so the only logical solution to this “problem” is to allow the government to disproportionately seize wealth and income… → Read More
The Most Fundamental Problem with Democrats' Push for Reparations

The Lies Leftists Tell about Hate Crimes
Hate crime data are incredibly unreliable, and they certainly present more animosity toward minorities than actually exists in America. → Read More
Sandy O's Credibility Problem
The radical left just loves Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. That much can’t be denied. Actress Lena Heady, most widely recognized as Cersei Lannister on HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, went so far as to say that Sandy O “should run the world.” That’s nothing short of crazy. But why do liberals go so crazy over Sandy O? CNN’s Chris Cillizza thinks he’s found a concise answer to that question,… → Read More
Sorry, Sandy, Capitalism Needs No Redemption
Contrary to the pie-in-the-sky promises of something better from ignorant socialists such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... → Read More
