How Wikipedia Was Captured by Leftist Editors, Foreign Influence
Wikipedia is “Wokepedia,” complains Elon Musk. That’s because it’s become so left-wing. “It’s designed to push an ideological agenda that you can’t see,” says journalist Ashley Rindsberg in my new video. He runs “Neutral Point of View,” a Substack publication that exposes Wikipedia bias. “So what if it’s biased?” I ask. “It’s just one website.” “Wikipedia’s information spreads into everything…
Last Thing on Democrats’ Agenda — Telling the Truth to Americans
Recently, in The Wall Street Journal, Neera Tanden, CEO of the Center for American Progress, a major foghorn in our nation’s capital for America’s left, explained “Why Democrats Won the Shutdown.” The most accurate declaration in the article is “fights tell the country a lot about what -- and who -- the fighters care about.” And, indeed, there should be no question what the Democratic…
Let’s Fix Our Broken Health Care System
We just went through the longest government shutdown in history over contention regarding the renewal of temporarily enacted government subsidies to Obamacare premiums. This battle is not over. Eight Democrats threw in the towel and agreed to postpone the issue and cooperate with Republicans to get a continuing resolution passed to fund our government and get back to business. But the…
Disparate Impact: The Term You Haven't Heard Of That Rewrote America
Google settled a racial bias lawsuit for $50 million. Merrill Lynch paid $20 million. Maryland taxpayers will have to pay $3 million to make a racial discrimination suit go away. “This is ridiculous! Taxpayers should not be on the hook for this!” complains Heather Mac Donald, author of “When Race Trumps Merit.” In our new video, she argues that companies and governments feel forced to pay…
‘Iryna’s Law’ and the Bad Judges Who Make It Necessary
What will it take to get crime under control in our subways and public transit systems? On Monday, news broke of another passenger set on fire in New York City’s subway — though this story wasn’t all it seemed. The homeless man who at first said he was the victim of an attack turned tight-lipped when police pressed him about what happened. Had he set his own clothes ablaze to attract attention…
There Is Still Much to Be Thankful for This Thanksgiving
In 2006, a few days before Christmas, doctors announced my wife had six months to live. She had, they said, a rare form of cancer that had spread to her lungs. There was really nothing that could be done. We had a one-year-old, and I had been told my job was coming to an end the same day of the diagnosis. Thankfully, it was a misdiagnosis. Not only did I keep my job, but I kept my wife.
As Religion Weakens, Socialism Strengthens
Per new polling reported by Gallup, religion is no longer important to most Americans. In response to the question “Is religion an important part of your daily life?” 49% said yes. Ten years ago, in 2015, 66% responded affirmatively. Gallup notes that this 17-point drop “ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.” This departure from religion…
How Should Republicans Move Forward After the Election Results?
Reading commentary about the recent elections, I thought of an observation of Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. Feynman said, “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool.” That is, we must always be disciplined in looking at things as they are and not bend to the temptation to see them as we wish them to be.
Clean Biz, Dirty Politics: 5 Years After Dallas Shut Down a Car Wash
When there’s crime, I blame the criminal. But Dallas politicians blamed a business. Dale Davenport owned Jim’s Car Wash. But five years ago, after a shooting at the property, the city ordered him to shut it down. Why did they target his car wash?
The Government Shutdown That Democrats Love
One big word worth learning is “schadenfreude.” Schadenfreude is “pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.” Nothing better captures the perverse pleasure that Democrats are deriving from the pain inflicted on our country caused by the government shutdown. Democrats precipitated this shutdown to force Republicans to back off efforts to turn around our suicidal growth of…
Putting a Price on Life: From 9/11 to BP Oil Spill and Boston Marathon
“But people will die!” That’s what some shout whenever anyone proposes cutting government spending. An audience member at a town hall shouted it when Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst said Medicaid shouldn’t cover illegal immigrants. Ernst responded with an obvious truth: “We all are going to die.” The audience groaned and booed. The Nation magazine said her “cruelty and sarcasm might cost her her…
The Normie Revolution in America
Three weeks ago, The New York Times released a poll of Americans on the question of whether America’s political system could still solve the nation’s problems. The overwhelming response: no. In September 2020, 51% of Americans believed that America’s system could still address America’s problems; by September 2025, that number had declined to 33%. Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of…
Not All Fights Are Worth Fighting
The president is still riding on global goodwill for the release of hostages from Hamas. On stage in Egypt, the president of Pakistan praised President Donald Trump for bringing peace to what could have become a nuclear war between Pakistan and India. The Israeli people love him more than they do their own leaders. But here at home, Democrats have kept voting to keep the government shut down…
Don’t Panic, We’ll Survive This Shutdown Too
The government is “shut down.” Media call this a “crisis.” A “crisis (with) no deal in sight,” says Fox News. Reuters says it's a “key risk to US stability.” But when I look around, I see business as usual -- families raise children, workers work, people play music ... The media act like government is the most important part of life. It isn't. Fortunately, most of life, and the best of life,…
