Time for Democrats to Address Their Anti-Semitism Problem
Last week, pro-Palestinian demonstrators trolled the streets of New York and Los Angeles to terrorize and attack Jews. Such outbreaks of violence, perpetrated under the guise of “anti-Zionism,” are commonplace in Europe and the Middle East. It would be an unmitigated tragedy if such political violence were to become the norm in the United States.
Anti-Jewish attacks did not spring forth

The lapsed eviction moratorium is the Supreme Court’s fault
On Sunday, a federal eviction moratorium, which was intended to prevent renters from losing their homes in the midst of a pandemic, expired.

OPINION: 7 Techniques Liberals Use to Silence Conservatives
Free speech has become a conservative idea by default because liberals don’t believe in it any more. Liberals have given up on the idea of coming up with the best argument and now work tirelessly to silence their opposition so they can win the argument by default.

The phrase “stick to sports” — hurled at athletes and commentators by people who mistakenly believe it’s possible to separate politics and athletic pursuits — has been thoroughly vivisected over the years, and with good reason. But I confess that I’ve always been sympathetic to the theoretical concept. A large part of the public utility of sports, I’d argue, is that it’s one of the few worlds

Capitalism Delivered Promise, and Faced a Reckoning, in 2020
On Dec. 13, the Detroit Free Press posted a video on its Twitter feed. I didn’t expect to get emotional watching it. The shaky clip, shot by someone holding a smartphone, showed UPS and FedEx semitrailer trucks carrying the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccines, pulling out of the parking lot of Pfizer’s Kalamazoo, Mich., plant, turning on to Portage Road. There, a handful of onlookers cheered

How the Government Creates Wealth Inequality
Politicians complain loudly about this problem, but their own policies are generating it.
There are economic storm clouds on the horizon, but for now wages are rising, jobs are plentiful, and poverty is falling. Democrats running for president need an economic line of attack, so the solution has been to focus on wealth inequality. Senator Bernie Sanders claims that there has been a “

Limbaugh: A Genius at Radio
His ‘army of one,’ inspiring millions who’d been ignored, changed the political landscape. Genius is often defined in myriad ways. One trusted criterion is the ability to do something extraordinary in a field where others could not — and doing something that perhaps will never be done again by anyone else.
By that measure, Rush Limbaugh certainly is the genius of talk radio, a genre in

Crime, Police Reform, and Law Enforcement: Americans Agree More Than You Might Think
About 65% of Americans are currently dissatisfied with the nation’s policies to reduce or control crime, more than any time in the 21st century.
This comes as President Biden’s approval rating on crime sits at 38% and the percentage of Americans that think crime is “extremely serious” sits at a 20-year high, according to an ABC News (Lean Left)/Washington Post (Lean Left) poll. The
