The French monarchy were somewhat known for their self-indulgence, it could be said. From Louis XIV’s dazzling palace at Versailles, to Marie Antoinette’s faux-“rustic” retreat Hameau de la Reine, the Ancien Régime had a reputation for extravagant indifference and isolation from the crushing poverty of their subjects.
When the BBC covers a Tommy Robinson rally in London, it reports what even police agreed were thousands of marchers as mere “hundreds”. But when doddering communist Bernie Sanders manages to assemble a few hundred left-wing mendicants in a school gym, it’s “thousands of fans” in “packed arenas” that
We all know the expression “Get Woke, Go Broke”, by now. A number of high-profile companies, from Gillette and Dick’s Sporting Goods to movie, television, comic book and video game franchises, have found out in the worst possible way that pandering to social justice warriors doesn’t bring in

With opponents like the Democrats’ 2020 field, how will Donald Trump ever stop winning? Even ignoring the past week or two of triumph upon triumph, the fact remains that nothing the Democrats have to offer is likely to be remotely appealing to American voters outside the blue bubbles of the
The winning just won’t stop for Donald Trump, this past week or so. The impeachment farce ended in exactly the sort of humiliation for the Democrats that almost everyone could see steamrolling down from a mile away. Trump’s State of the Union was a triumphant celebration of resurgent
