Since Donald Trump has begun the push to deport illegal aliens, we’ve seen stories about families being broken up, and people losing their homes or being deported without having been arrested for crimes other than illegal entry. The stories are framed sympathetically to wring American hearts, but they don’t change the debate because you can’t run a country based on emotional anecdotal narratives. Still, that’s exactly what Democrats want the country to do. They’re suggesting that most of the 40 million illegal aliens they invited into the country over the last quarter century are doctors, engineers, or saints, and, therefore,...

Anger is boiling over in the UK pressure cooker, and it is hard to see anybody in power finding the courage to use the steam release valve before it explodes.

When a man can declare himself a woman, how do we know what is true or false anymore? The institutions we might once have looked to – from academia to journalism to science – have all rallied around the absurdity that we can change sex at will. Here, Wesley Yang – essayist and author of The Souls of Yellow Folk – explains how a ‘successor ideology’ has captured the liberal mind. It has swapped tolerance and pluralism for brutal authoritarianism. And it has redefined reality itself, embedding lies in the fabric of our institutions. Democracy, Wesley says, is our only...
