It must be difficult to be on staff at The Washington Post -- or subscribe to it, or advertise with it – without feeling profound embarrassment. On June 25, the “WaPo” offered what its editors seem to have thought was a potent attack on President Trump.

Recently, many in the West have used the phrase, “Get woke, go broke” to describe the phenomenon of Hollywood celebrities and production corporations obnoxiously rushing into the realm of “identity politics” and “social justice,” losing their hold on good storytelling, then losing money, fans, and respect as a result. But what often gets overlooked in the term “go broke” is the loss of expertise…

  (UPDATE 4/25/20: After facing backlash for its mask policy, Lincoln County, Oregon has rolled back their directive. For more, click here.)   It’s here! As they often do, identity politics advocates and social justice “warriors” in Oregon just offered the rest of the world another mind-blowing example of leftist hypocrisy – this time as part of the clownish COVID-19 mandate madness.

When is freedom of speech just a slogan? When is intellectual consistency a burden? When is language not a tool to facilitate human interaction and the pursuit of truth, but a tool to demonize others and hide the truth? Always -- if one subscribes to the postmodernist-collectivist mindset of the Western elitists that is commonly evinced in government, major pop entertainment, and…

  Hundreds of supporters, from as far as hundreds of miles away, turned out Saturday, June 20, to support David Blondin in his existential battle against the insulting, rights-trampling lockout imposed by the government on him, his business, and his clientele.

The Trump Justice Department Wednesday released details of its strategy to reign-in social media and search engines that have been accused of censoring conservative, libertarian, anti-war, and anti-authoritarian voices. As Lauren Feiner and Ylan Mui report for CNBC, Attorney General Barr and the DOJ are planning a two-pronged approach, the main spear of which is a reimagining of 1996’s…

If Americans who understand what drives inflation and the boom-bust cycle in economics didn’t have reason to cringe at the monopolistic existence of the Federal Reserve, the newest wrinkle in that century old monstrosity just became clear. And the only reason it might have been unclear to some folks is because, until Tuesday, June 16, the wrinkle was hidden behind a COVID19 bailout mask.…

Heller” majority opinion penned by Antonin Scalia, many Americans who understand the nature of rights and the Second Amendment have lamented Scalia’s wording, because at the close of the opinion in which he said the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right (easy to figure out), he added that… er, rights can be attenuated.…
