New Revelation on Putin’s Long Plan to Partition Ukraine
Kudos to Mark Levin for posting on Twitter a fascinating piece by Professor Alexander Motyl on a new revelation about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s plan to partition Ukraine way back in 2010. That was long before Volodymyr Zelensky was elected... → Read More
Biden Turns International Women’s Day Into a Bigger Spectacle
International Women’s Day is already a farce, and Joe Biden just made it a bigger one. He has turned it into a spectacle. As readers of my column have learned over the years, International Women’s Day is a literal socialist... → Read More
My Top 10 Black Conservatives
In a column for The American Spectator last week, Mary Grabar asked, “Why does Black History Month ignore the author of ‘the most talked about column in Negro America?’” That label for the late, great George Schuyler was given by... → Read More
More Trial Balloons for Biden
On January 1, 1982, William P. Clark became Ronald Reagan’s new national security adviser, replacing Richard V. Allen. Clark the year before had been Reagan’s outstanding deputy secretary of state, whose service had been all the more impressive given its... → Read More
Why Couldn’t I Shoot the Damned Balloon?
The commie Chinese spy balloon provided Americans with a week of intrigue and amusement, not to mention frustration and bewilderment over how our China-friendly president might respond. By last Friday, the damned thing was floating somewhere over the Midwest, cruising... → Read More
What in the Hell Is the Penn Biden Center?
If you’re like me, you’ve only recently heard of the Penn Biden Center at the University of Pennsylvania, generously described in the press as a “think tank.” My ignorance is instructive. You see, I’m somewhat of a connoisseur of think... → Read More
Women for Abortion, March!
Forgive me, dear readers. This past weekend, on Sunday, the Lord’s Day, the Women’s March recommenced in Washington, D.C., and your faithful correspondent, who in years past dutifully reported on the Women’s March, failed to notice. I am filing this... → Read More
I Am the Egg Man - The American Spectator
“I am the eggman! I am the eggman!” So crooned the weird John Lennon in The Beatles’ iconic 1967 piece “I Am the Walrus.” The song spouted lots of gibberish, including about (and I quote) “yellow matter custard dripping from... → Read More
More Democratic Socialists in Congress
As congressional Republicans battled over the next speaker of the House, Democrats chummily embraced the addition of more “democratic socialists” to their ranks. And whereas the former story dominated news headlines, the latter didn’t elicit a shrug from the liberal... → Read More
The Catholic Case Against Communism
Communism and the Conscience of the West By Fulton J. Sheen (TAN Books, 280 pages, $28) Born on the Midwestern plains of El Paso, Illinois, in May 1895, Fulton J. Sheen was ordained a priest in 1919 in the Catholic... → Read More
Reversing the Dictatorship of Relativism: Remembering Benedict XVI
A couple of months ago I was in a fascinating conversation with a Catholic colleague regarding the papacies of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, here in the ninth year of this curious era, 2013-22, when the world was living... → Read More
Franco Harris, RIP
I heard the news last Wednesday morning. My wife and I were doing our annual Christmas trip to Pittsburgh’s historic Strip District, a wonderfully authentic half-mile strip of ethnic grocers and markets and restaurants — Sunseri’s, Wholey’s, Pennsylvania Macaroni, Labad’s,... → Read More
Christmas in a Better America
In today’s America, that of the depraved 2020s, corporate America doesn’t dare utter the word “Christmas” in December but spends the entire month of June drooling about gay pride. Our cultural revolutionaries resist calling a Christmas tree a Christmas tree... → Read More
The Russians Are Laughing At Us
President Joe Biden has humiliated himself and his country on the global stage. He let the Russians spring from American confinement a Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death” who sells weapons to terrorists and our adversaries in... → Read More
Putin’s Patsy: Biden Plays Sucker to the Russkies
Back in August, I wrote a piece on Brittney Griner, America’s most famous WNBA player turned vaper-doper and political prisoner to Vladimir Putin and the Russians. Last February, the 31-year-old Griner illegally brought drugs into Russia. That is not a... → Read More
Russkies Whack ‘Race-Baiting’ Pope Francis
Pope Francis has walked on eggshells to avoid the wrath of Vladimir Putin and, likewise, of the Russian Orthodox Church, which has long presented an altogether intractable if not impossible set of challenges for the Roman Catholic Church, recently rearing... → Read More
Thankful to God, Turkeys, and True Indians
This Thanksgiving, agitators are assembling at Plymouth Rock for a “National Day of Mourning.” They’re protesting what they describe as “the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands and the erasure of Native cultures.” They urge:... → Read More
Nominating a Republican Who Can Get 50 Percent
The election of November 2022 was the 50th anniversary of something that went unnoticed and unremarked upon by Republicans and Democrats alike. It marked 50 years since the November 1972 election, in which Richard Nixon, a Republican who in 1968... → Read More
Unhinged Threats Against Pro-Lifers Show Pro-Choice Really Means Pro-Death
“I hope you have to watch everyone you love die of cancer you irredeemable, subhuman f**kstick.” So wrote the winsome Stephen in response to a piece I did for a Catholic publication that detailed the death of Pennsylvania as a... → Read More
Hallowing Halloween
There’s many a curious way to mark Halloween. I’ve told Bob Tyrrell, founder of this venerable publication, about a fellow columnist of mine at the Pitt News in the late 1980s, Mario Oliverio. Like many young conservatives of our generation,... → Read More
