No One is Above the Law!
No one is above the law, but only if the law is above everyone, impartial and uninfluenced by partisan will. But that is not now the case with terminally mendacious, anti-civilizational leftists hard at work destroying our constitutional republic. And yet these brazen, serial liars never leave off posturing as defenders of 'democracy,' 'the Constitution,'…

How Left-Wing Conspiracies Work
VDH: Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing conspiracies—beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and paranoia to serve precise political agendas. We now know that the conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax—Donald Trump allegedly conniving with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote—was perpetrated by the Hillary…

Of DEI and the Devil
Top o' the Stack. Excerpt: The hard Left, which now controls the Democrat Party, is evil at its core. I don't say that every leftist, 'progressive,' and wokester is evil. Most of these folks are useful idiots. A large subset of them are superannuated, low-information, life-long Democrats who are pissing away their 'golden years' in…

Sohrab Ahmari on ‘Lawfare’
An exercise in naïveté: Reacting to Donald Trump’s hush-money conviction in Manhattan on 30 May, the French writer Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry asked on X: “Has there been a single left-of-centre person… who has said: ‘Hey, nakedly partisan prosecutions of your political opponents goes against the values of liberal democracy, rule of law, justice, and everything my…

The Destruction of Jurisprudence
Victor Davis Hanson: Now we are left with a final toxic gift from this [Boomer] generation: the destruction of jurisprudence, a system designed not to easily protect the popular and admired but those often pilloried in the public square, the unorthodox, eccentric, and unliked. Even Trump’s antagonists know that had Donald Trump been a man…

Joe Biden on George Floyd
Malcolm Pollack and Mark Lewis cut to the heart of the matter. Prominent commentators are beginning to speak the truth about our political opponents: they are not good people. Kurt Schlichter is one. Mark Levin is another. UPDATE (5/28) More proof that our political opponents are not good people, and this from an unlikely source.

A Gov’t Subsidy for Seniors’ USCF Dues
Ed Yetman reports: I don’t know if this is a new high or a new low, but it is something I’ve never seen before. Somehow, USCF has managed to find a way to get the U.S. government to pay membership fees for senior members. That’s right, Uncle Sam wants you to play chess so bad,…

Will a Perfect Storm Soon be upon us?
Anthony Flood thinks so. Here is how his piece begins: The dictionary defines a perfect storm as an “unusual combination of events or things that produce an unusually bad or powerful result.” The latter, as I see it, is life as we’ve become accustomed to enjoying it. Four years ago, I stated my grounds . . .…

Why Isn’t There a Palestinian State?
A history lesson in under five minutes. A more nuanced narrative from eight years ago. Is there an historian in the house?

Who Are These Hamas Supporters?
This just in from Tony Flood: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” chant the useful idiots at elite institutions and parades in the West. Who are these people? Atheists who support theocratic lunatics, democrats who endorse medieval tyrants, feminists who defend misogynists who parade with the desecrated corpses of women, gays who…

Doing Well by Doing Good
A successful urologist I know told me that he and his colleagues want to do well by doing good. An excellent formulation, but inapplicable to Joe Biden. He wants to do well whether or not he does good. He wants such trappings and results of worldly success as power and position, money and property, even…

Journalism is Dead!
When Bill O'Reilly said as much years ago I thought he was exaggerating. It is certainly no exaggeration now, if it is lamestream, 'woke'-captured, Democrat shill outlets such as National Public Radio (NPR) and the Washington Post (WaPo) we are talking about. Here: But we can thank Uri Berliner, a senior business editor at NPR,…
