Put Some Clothes On Your Daughter!

As the seasons change and the weather warms, American adults are yet again being subjected to the uncomfortable spectacle of teenage girls wearing outfits more befitting a runway show than a school, a store, or any other public setting.  Every w...

Hey Teacher, Leave Them Kids Alone

I have argued on these pages that the Epstein scandal was a harbinger, and that the normalization of adult-child sexual relations was already in full swing.  Nowhere does this seem to be more evident than in our public schools. This past...

National Review, you’re not helping

I want us to win the presidency in 2024.  Whether it’s with Trump, DeSantis, Haley, Pompeo, or an as yet unknown candidate, I don’t care.  I want the Biden clown car gone.  I want America to cease being the sclerotic, corru...

DeSantis in 2024

With the midterms behind us and 2024 already shaping up, the elephant in the room needs to be addressed.  Trump has all but announced his intention to run, and there is no reason to think DeSantis won’t do the same.  There are other p...

The Chimera of Glorious Civil War

Top Gun: Maverick -- An Antidote

Back in 2001, when the Oscars were still somewhat bearable, I remember being elated that the movie Gladiator won so many awards.  Other than the fact that it was a great movie, there was something spitefully delicious in witnessing a victory tha...

The Case against Dave Chappelle as Trailblazing Free Speech Hero

Dave Chappelle used to be funny.  He's not anymore.  I write this not to insult the guy, but such is the occasional trajectory among not just comedians, but all entertainers.  Think Oasis or Velvet Underground in the...

Yes, Kyle Rittenhouse is a Hero

The sunshine patriots are at it again, folks.  In either another unreciprocated attempt to appear even-handed, or from a deep sense of shame at their own meekness, a number of conservatives are bleating that, while they support Kyle Rittenhouse...

Not to Rain on Our Parade, But...

Like all rational Americans, I was happy with the results of the Virginia gubernatorial election this past Tuesday.  However, I’m not optimistic, one reason being that a photo-finish victory against a sleazy establishment bagman in a state...

A Disaster of Olympian Proportions

Is it wrong that I'm rooting for the U.S. Women's National Team to lose, and humiliatingly so, this Olympics? Of course it's not wrong.  The USWNT, led by America's favorite histrionic Megan Rapinoe, protested against racism a...

Liberals Want to Grab Guns...but Who Will Do the Grabbing?
