The Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on June 24 and returned the authority to regulate abortion to the people and their elected representatives. The justices ruled 6-3 to uphold the specific Mississippi abortion ban being challenged and 5-4 to overturn Roe v. Wade altogether. The majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito, and it argues that the right to abortion is not deeply rooted in America’s history and is not protected by the 14th Amendment’s due process clause. In other words, those who want abortion to be a legally protected right need to pass a...

In power or out, the Left produces division and discord not only as a tactic, but also as a product of its spiteful, envious, and hateful ideology. In our celebrity-crazed culture, too often a person’s capacity to garner attention exceeds his talent in his chosen field. This applies to politics, too. A politician’s well-manicured image obfuscates the policies he espouses, especially during a campaign. Consequently, if elected, the ramifications of a politician’s policies that were neglected, amidst the consultant-crafted images our campaigns have become, suddenly manifest themselves in the most unpleasant ways. In the 2020 presidential campaign between Joe Biden...

Anti-liberty leftists are always projecting their true national agenda, and they are currently doing it at full volume. Do you find it extraordinarily odd that one extremist side of the political spectrum has been driven to distraction with one topic of discussion? Has everyone taken notice that just one far end of the spectrum can't stop its fixation with this subject matter? These are some of the more disturbing examples that show the anti-liberty left has lost the plot: -We Can Replace Them (New York Times) -'Replacement' conspiracies driving gunmen creep into mainstream politics (CNN) -Buffalo shooting pushes 'great replacement...

For my work in corporate social responsibility, I was recently reading The Great Transformation, Karl Polanyi’s critique of capitalism, when something he wrote gave me one of those really uncomfortable “Aha” moments. Polanyi was discussing the alternatives to capitalism -- left socialism and right socialism (which we call “Fascism”). His point was that these two socialisms were created to undo the disruptions of capitalism which had privileged “money power” to degrade human sociality into atomic individualism driven by self-seeking greed. When I read his observation that the Fascist phase of anti-capitalism brought about “Irrational philosophies, racialist aesthetics, anti-capitalist demagogy, heterodox...

After Joe Biden declared Wednesday that “MAGA is the most extreme political organization” in US history, reporters questioned White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki if Americans should expect that kind of rhetoric to continue, and she said yes. CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins noted that Biden “was sharply critical of the MAGA crowd,” asking Psaki “is that what we should expect to speak his message going into the midterms?” Psaki responded, “I would expect you will hear” more of this rhetoric from Biden “over the next coming months.”

Recently, the Akron Roundtable of Ohio invited me to give a presentation on the issue of election integrity as part of a recurring series it calls “Point/Counterpoint.” As I told the audience, the sponsors of the Roundtable, which includes the Kiwanis Club, the Greater Akron Chamber, and the Akron Beacon Journal, were to be applauded for upholding the great American tradition of having civil, even vigorous discussions on important issues from individuals with differing points of view, a tradition that has virtually disappeared in our communities and college campuses. The progressive, radical left, however, has no interest in upholding this...

America cannot defeat Russia and China without the help of other nations. And America cannot defeat the Left without the help of liberals. America is caught between an external and an internal threat. The external is an economically aggressive and America-hating China and a nuclear-equipped, America-hating Russia; the internal is a non-nuclear, America-hating Left. (As I always note, “Left” is not the same as “liberal”; in fact, leftism poses a mortal threat to liberalism. The greatest contemporary tragedy in American life is that most liberals are unwilling to acknowledge this and continue to vote for the Left.) To use one...

Cui Bono? Who Benefits?If It Waddles and Quacks like a Global Warming, Computer-Modeling, Impeachment-Pursuing, Disaster-Yearning, Public-Oppressing, Data-Padding, Vaccine-Linked Travel Document-Pushing, Dictatorial Lying Duck, then It’s Most Likely the Same Old Deep State CrewThe First Four Strings of the ApocalypseThe following is my sum-up what I would call a combination of Fauci-Gates-gate, some foreign help, and bringing in the fifth string of the Deep State, since these, the first four, were completely blown to hell:1. The first string: Obama and his use of US and foreign intelligence agencies illegally trying to dig up stuff then, failing that, to make up stuff...

The violent Left who approved of BLM and Antifa burning down and looting entire cities across America, trapping federal agents, and then lighting then federal buildings and courthouses on fire, are now calling on the police officers they despise, government officials, and everyday citizens to use violence against the truckers in Canada who are defending the freedom of every citizen in Canada from COVID vaccine mandates and restrictions. The Truckers for Freedom Convoy movement for freedom, that’s received worldwide support, has curiously, infuriated liberals, who apparently, hate freedom. Liberals are so angry about the sacrifices truckers are making for their...

At least three people have been injured in Winnipeg, Canada after the driver of a white SUV appeared to deliberately slam into members of the nation’s massive Freedom Convoy, which is being led by truck drivers as they protest the far-left Trudeau regime’s continued COVID lockdowns, plus mask and jab mandates.The apparent attack came in the middle of the night after left-wingers vowed to spend the weekend countering anti-lockdown demonstrators, with some online encouraging the use of violence. Video footage that captured the moment the apparent attack took place appears to show the yet-to-be-identified driver deliberately swerving the white SUV...

From Jeff Bezos to Joe Biden, noted Sinophiles and racists litter the landscape of the Left. For where there is slavery (China), and racist social division to be sown (America), there is enormous profit to be made. It is an established fact that leading Democrats are cliche-spewing tools who emote out of the southern end of their alimentary canals and whose neurotic hysteria sets the national agenda. Yet, they have amassed quite a lemminglike following of true believers, progressive foot soldiers who think things have not gone "far enough" in terms of silencing, humiliating, and otherwise eliminating the universal scourge...

Legacy media outlets called Kyle Rittenhouse both a murderer and a white supremacist. Viewers believed them. The same journalists told viewers that—not a career criminal— but an SUV drove through a Christmas parade in nearby Waukesha killing six and seriously injuring dozens more. If you haven’t yet accepted the sad truth that legacy media willfully distorts the news to fit a left-wing agenda, it’s about time you did.

The two major political elements in play over the past year are closely intertwined. Those are the new left-wing blatancy, in which the American Left scarcely attempts to hide its actual agenda anymore, and the vast number of enemies the left is lining up against itself throughout American society. In hindsight, this makes perfect sense. How could the Left hope to maintain the support of the mass of Americans once its actual goals and methods became evident? In the past, leftists made a serious effort to shield their true agenda from scrutiny using a wide range of methods – wrapping...

This column is co-authored by Jim McCoy.It is a sign of our partisan political times that whites can’t address racial issues unless they are progressives hopping on the “racist” bandwagon. They even devote an innumerable amount of time in the fool’s errand of somehow being anti-racist. Looking back on America’s 2020 summer of hate, stretching to the present time, it has become clear this racial hate was manufactured by a cacophony of progressive factions and interests. Abetting this summer of protests and violence was the ever-present MSM love child, America’s racial instigator-in-chief, Reverend Al Sharpton. In his eulogy at George...

These traitors in DC ignore data…ignore evidence…and they ignore us…. as they take our tax dollars and send out kids to war. They demand we all be injected with an experimental ‘mRNA gene therapy’ drug that is less than a year old… and they’ve come for our children. We are unified in a resounding “Hell No”

A few years back, public schools in my hometown of Littleton, Colorado began using laptop computers in the classroom. With great fanfare every student was given their own computer. Classroom instruction quickly moved away from traditional teaching materials to primarily computer-based learning. This trend occurred throughout the country. We were told this would usher in a grand new world where student’s educational achievements would take off through the stratosphere. In a normal world, a major undertaking like this would only have been done after extensive research, testing, and actual results. And since we are dealing with something that will affect...

How has Time’s Up, a group that was formed to help women, become one defending male predators?It has been a tumultuous couple of weeks for Time’s Up, the anti-sexual harassment organization that sprang up from the #MeToo movement, and this weekend, it is suffering a mass exodus of many from its high-profile board. On Friday, a number of prominent board members announced they were stepping away from the group, including actress Eva Longoria, TV mega-producer Shonda Rhimes, and CNN contributor Hilary Rosen, along with five other names. This announcement comes quickly after the resignation of CEO Tina Tchen, who stepped...

JASON WHITLOCK (GUEST): I don't think 5 percent of America believes it, maybe 10 percent. I don't know. Tucker, I'm going to say something difficult to unpack in this short amount of time, but it's what I truly believe: I think a lot of what the left supports is satanic. I'm just sorry. It's -- it's in direct objection to God. In -- in direct objection to the Judeo-Christian values that were at the foundation of this country and those Christian values are why we made so much progress in terms of freedom and humanity and the way we treat...

What happened in Kabul was deliberate. In fact, I would argue it went far better than most leftists dreamed it would. Even they underestimated Joe's uncanny ability to make the absolute worst decision in practically every situation. Our kids' grandkids will be fighting the wars that result from this and will likely do it alone. Far from being a tragedy, our abandonment of Afghanistan was one of the left's biggest foreign policy successes.

The bizarre contortions that the libs are going through to blame you for the virus because you selfishly refused to submit to their fussy commands illustrates, for the umpteenth time, an undeniable fact about these fascist-curious creeps. They hate hate hate the idea of rights, particularly yours. In fact, when they refer to rights, they often insist on encasing the word in quotation marks, as if it was some bizarre and alien concept those Jesus-gun-truck-cisnormative people from Iowabamaho invented under the influence of moonshine and the Holy Spirit. Rights, they realize, are an intolerable obstacle to the things they want...
