In 1994, Democrats tried to undermine pro-life Republicans by passing the original FACE Act. In the beginning, the law was intended to protect those who visited medical facilities from intimidation, harassment, violence, threats of force, and other illegal actions. Over the years, the Democrats have watered down and abused the law, applying it primarily to pro-life demonstrators and rarely, if ever, to pro-abortion demonstrators. In April, a report was issued by the Weaponization Working Group, which confirmed that the FACE Act had been used to weaponize the Justice Department against pro-life groups: The report accuses the Justice Department and FBI under former

Is Islam good for you? Is it actually beneficial for individuals and societies? These questions have seldom, if ever, been asked. Most people in America today, having been the unwitting victims of a quarter-century of propaganda, assume that Islam, like all other religions, is peaceful and benign, beneficial to both individuals and societies, albeit “hijacked” at the hands of a “tiny minority of extremists,” the likes of which we see in all religious traditions. Yet the constant drumbeat continues: there are jihad attacks around the world virtually every day, and increasingly in the United States. All of their perpetrators insist they acted in accord with Islamic teachings. There is a distressingly

The MSM, radical left Democrats, and progressives like Hillary Clinton, spout that we are experiencing an 'existential threat to democracy.' For example, Dr. Steven Levitsky and Lucan A. Way wrote, "U.S. democracy will likely break down during the Second Trump administration in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for a liberal democracy -- full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties." Hillary says, "Our democracy is in crisis..." Her claim sounds ominous, worthy of further investigation. Demosthenes (384 BC -- 322 BC) was a Greek statesman of ancient Athens, was a staunch defender of Athenian democracy. He also saw how democracy

This week the Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, ended decades of race-engineering in the drawing of congressional districts. The opinion is likely to not only benefit Republicans by increasing their representation in Congress, it also should end racial engineering in a multitude of local institutions, all to everyone’s benefit. It signals the beginning of the end for progressive governance, begun by President Woodrow Wilson (ironically a segregationist) whose vision conflicts with the Constitution. Thirty-one years ago, Justice Clarence Thomas argued that racial gerrymandering -- defended as a means for ensuring proportional electoral results according to race -- should not continue. In my view, our current practice

Graham Platner is a piece of work. You know, yesterday when I wrote about Janet Mills dropping out, I included a Xweet from someone talking about the oppo research on this clown being a possible goldmine. It hasn't taken 24 hours for the gruesome deluge to start about what a miserable fabulist this hairy beast is. One thing that caught my eye, being a veteran and having a disabled veteran for a spouse (31 years of Marine Corps wear and tear, but no war wounds, thank God), was Platner's service claims. His DD-214 has debunked the man's sea stories about being in for ten years, but I hadn't

Politicians get hit with a lot of rhetorical shots from critics. It's part of the job. Some of those shots get ignored or deflected pretty easily and others really seem to stick and dog someone for a while. I think Joe Rogan's most recent comments about Gavin Newsom might be the latter type. Here's the clip that was circulating on X: (X) Nobody wants President Newsom either. Nobody believes in that guy. The guy's a ******* con man. I mean everything he did in California from trying to madate vaccines for kids when it was totally unnecessary to being caught out in public without a mask and lying about

Leading the week’s news was the Democrats’ third failed assassination attempt against President Trump. Murder isn’t funny, but that didn’t prevent meme-makers from weighing in. The rest of the week’s news was lighter: King Charles visited America and addressed Congress, and it turned out that Democrats love kings after all. James Comey was indicted, the SPLC continued to draw fire, and Ilhan Omar displayed a remarkable grasp of world history. So here we go–The Week In Pictures, Missed Me Again Edition. This week features three pirate-related memes, which must be a record. Watch for them:

The shibboleth that “diversity is our strength” is one of the worst canards of our time. There is a great deal of empirical data indicating that in general, cultural diversity is a weakness, not a strength. Culturally diverse societies (which can mean ethnically diverse, but doesn’t have to) are generally lower-trust societies, which inhibits economic growth. Western Europe is living proof of that proposition. But there is another way in which “diversity” in the DEI sense–i.e., the jerry-rigged quotas resulting from an obsession with race, sex, and sexual orientation–is bad. Maximum effectiveness, in terms of economic efficiency, combat readiness, or pretty much anything you want to measure,

Mahmoud Khalil's case is, as Dan Linnaeus explains in the X post linked below, something of a dividing line in how people think about citizenship, the right to stay in a Western country, the limits of tolerance we must have for hatred from noncitizens, and most of all over whether we should see non-Westerners as everywhere and always victims, and Westerners as oppressors who deserve whatever we get. The American left is appalled that Khalil is being deported for his arguably illegal, and certainly anti-American and antisemitic "activist" activities while a student at Columbia University. He helped organize and lead protests that led to assaults, property damage,

These days, to paraphrase Mark Twain's observation about the weather, everyone complains about extreme rhetoric and political violence, but no one does much about it. No one, perhaps, except Harmeet Dhillon. At a recent anti-ICE rally in Minneapolis, Turning Point USA observer/reporter Savanah Hernandez got assaulted by activists for recording the public events. Minneapolis police identified the trio that assaulted Hernandez as members of the Ostroushko family – father Christopher, mother Deyanna, and adult daughter Paige. The video depicts Christopher Ostroushko blindsiding Hernandez, who was injured in the attack. The local police investigation resulted in a minor misdemeanor charge against only Christopher in Hennepin County,

Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government? After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters. But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law. Of course, every sentient person knows exactly why they do both of those things: they cheat, and want to make it as hard as possible to detect the cheating, and almost impossible to audit elections

For decades, the mental health industry and its allies in media, government, and education have operated on a simple assumption: the more mental health awareness we spread, through campaigns, school programs, social media, and public service announcements, the better. Raise awareness, reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking, and mental health will surely improve. New evidence shows the opposite is happening. Well-intentioned awareness efforts are actively backfiring, manufacturing distress, inflating diagnoses, and turning normal human emotions into chronic “disorders.” The shocking result is that these campaigns are turning mentally fit people into self-diagnosed mentally ill patients, with symptoms effectively “contracted” from the awareness messages themselves.
