Hypersensitivity and Victimhood Have Risen to Epidemic Levels
Have you noticed how many of the things that laid quietly beneath our awareness for so long have now risen to crisis proportions? Have you noticed how sensitive, touchy, and judgmental people are today?

Google Maps Out Plan to Drive Away Right
Google doesn’t want to search the web’s content — it wants to control it. That’s not news to conservatives, who’ve been the company’s favorite target of political bias since before President Trump.

Goodbye, George
This weekend we received the sad but expected news of the passing of former President George Herbert Walker Bush at the age of 94.

George H.W. Bush: Man of Character
I first met the man who would become America’s 41st president in 1968. He was a Houston congressman and I was a young reporter for a local TV and radio station.

Regaining Trust on Money Issues
Republicans need to regain the offensive on the fiscal issues. The GOP has somehow allowed big-spending Democrats to get to the right of them on the issue of financial responsibility and balanced budgets.

Bathroom Policy Needs Some Remodeling
Alexis Lightcap may have graduated from Boyertown High, but she’s not done fighting for the students there. Someone has to. And based on the last three years, it’s not going to be school officials.

Cohen Craziness
The media were ecstatic when news broke that President Trump’s longtime attorney Michael Cohen reached a plea deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

New National Climate Assessment: ‘Buffoonification’ of Climate Science
Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. believes “human-caused climate change is real and poses significant risks” and thinks “mitigation and adaptation should be policy priorities.”

What’s in Store for 2020?
If this was 1918 instead of 2018, I would be convinced that Donald Trump would be elected to a second term. Most Americans would be grateful that he had improved the economy and restored the military, that he had lowered taxes and given our foreign enemies fair warning that they had better think twice before provoking us.

Sorry, You Can’t Protect Mueller
Mitch McConnell just did our constitutional order an enormous favor by burying the so-called Robert Mueller protection bill, hopefully never to rise again.

MSNBC Smears Southern Conservatives as White Supremacists
The mainstream media wants you to believe Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith hates black people because she is a conservative Republican.

A Jewish Example at Christmas
“We waited six-and-a-half years to have children, and within seven months we became a family of four.” That has been the real-life experience of Malka Groden and her husband, Mendel; they gained an “instant family,” much like Mark Walberg and Rose Byrne in the movie “Instant Family” currently playing in theaters.

Trump suffered a loss but not a repudiation. The Democrats should think of themselves as his board.

Bad News From California
Once again California is at the top of the national news every day.

Health Concerns, Anyone?
As we noted earlier this week, the media have criticized and mocked President Trump for expressing various concerns about the migrant caravan. They objected to the president correctly pointing out that there were criminals and gang members in the group.

Who’s to Blame? Weak Leaders, Weak Institutions, Weak Voters?
In the wake of the off-year elections, conservative analyst Yuval Levin saw no winners. “It is the weakness of all sides, and the strength of none, that shapes this moment.”

Rejection of Identity Politics Is Part of American History
I’ve spent much of the last year promoting, debating and — let’s just be honest — hawking my latest book, “Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy.”

Why Are We So Sad?
The Centers for Disease Control has delivered sober news — average life expectancy at birth in the United States has declined for a third straight year due to extremely high rates of death from drug overdoses and suicide.
