I’ve encountered professions with more ridiculously outsized egos than teachers – but few outside the newsrooms of the legacy media. That’s not to say that all teachers are up themselves. Some of them (far fewer by the year, if students’ results are anything to go by) are even pretty
The central tenet of so-called “Critical Race Theory” (only a “theory” in the sense of being a ludicrous conspiracy theory) is that America is uniquely, systemically racist.

With the recent anniversary of the 9/11 horror, the usual conspiracy theories got a fresh airing on social media. But there’s one stunning fact about 9/11 that gets almost no mention — and it’s no conspiracy theory. It’s hard, indisputable fact. Political correctness killed thousands of
It’s a bit like New Age “channeling”, where everyone is the reincarnation of an Egyptian priestess or Salem witch. If social media were to be believed, everyone’s ancestors in Europe in the 1930s were resisters who sheltered Jews from the Nazis. It’s a wonder the Gestapo ever

There are some people in politics whose only role is clearly to be a fall guy. Mostly by dint of being comically ridiculous. Dan Quayle was a fall guy. The left-media spent so much time mocking Quayle’s almost parodic foibles that they were successfully distracted from the machinations of

Laurence M. Vance ronpaulinstitute.org The latest empty cliché that one hears out of the mouth of Christians is “Pray for Ukraine”. But do Christians who utter this pious platitude even know what they mean when they say it? I suppose that it is supposed to mean that we should
Forget QAnon, Stolen Elections or even the Flat Earth: the most dangerously lunatic conspiracy theory in America right now is Black Lives Matter. Of course, nobody would deny that black peoples’ lives matter as much as (but no more than) anyone else’s — but that’s not what BLM is

As I wrote recently, I’m no fan of Nancy Pelosi, by a long shot, but I salute her for her ballsy and long-standing pushback against China’s brutality. Where most of the political-media class are running scared of China’s bullying on Taiwan, Pelosi, to her infinite credit, stood
