I was reminded the other day that this is Black History Month. I don’t normally go out of my way to note, let alone celebrate, this. As Ryan Bomberger (who is bi-racial) of the Radiance Foundation recently wrote, “There are so many incredible stories that should be intertwined in an educational fabric that celebrates every […]
“[Socialism is] a pseudo-religion posing as a pseudo-science and run by political elites.” — Lee Edwards of The Heritage Foundation’s B. Kenneth Simon Center for Principles and Politics Radical progressives want to turn America into a socialist “paradise”. They do this by teaching the “evils” of capitalism and the promises of socialism (i.e., gateway to […]
Lootings and shootings and murders, oh my! Also, car thefts, armed carjackings, train robberies, arson, vandalism, aggravated assaults, etc. When Leftists who run cities (i.e., mayors, district attorneys, city councils) defund their police force, refuse to prosecute serious crimes, even encourage lootings and arson by rioters, manipulate the system in favor of criminals, and generally […]
“It is impossible to forge ahead while walking backward.” — Candace Owens, political commentator and podcast host Few people in America get as much flack from their own “community” as Candace Owens. But, this brave, young black woman is awake, not “woke”. She has a passion for speaking out against the political Left, who promise […]
“While the line of questions posed by the conservative members of the Court were encouraging, a lot can happen in the next few months to alter opinions. I do not believe this current administration will tolerate any decision in the case that favors the pro-life side, especially if it undermines Roe.” — Troy Newman, President […]
A couple weeks ago, I cited a section of The Authoritarian Moment by Ben Shapiro, in which he gave an account of how the Left has gradually suppressed most Americans’ speech via things like the Cordiality Principle and “microaggressions”. In the next section (which I cite below), Shapiro described how a relatively small, radical minority […]
Some years ago, I had a lengthy email exchange with an old friend, one who was now very much on the left side of the cultural and socio-political aisle. At one point, he said or implied that some position I held (or implicitly supported, based on someone I quoted) was “not nice”. Having already established […]
This is a slightly belated Thanksgiving post, but… it’s still the Thanksgiving Weekend, right? This year, I would like to take note of three things I am truly thankful for. Well, I guess I should say they are classes or categories of things. First, I want to acknowledge the U.S. military, intelligence services, and law […]
“My issue had nothing to do with homophobia or anything against LGBTQ. Quite the contrary, it had to do with oversexualization, exposing our children to comic book characters or social media where they’re constantly being bombarded with sexual images.” — Sophia Nelson Yes, in case it slipped past your current events radar, DC Comics announced […]
Everyone knows about Chicago’s history of crime and corruption. It’s a dangerous place to live, and most of the murders in the Chicago area nowadays are due to Black-on-Black violence. Sadly, sometimes innocents get caught in the crossfire — even children. Such was the case for 7-year-old Jaslyn Adams, who was killed this April while […]
