    Muhammad Inspires Jihadis, But What If Muhammad Never Existed?

    Obama is Responsible for Racial Tensions in America Today

    When Democrats Say ‘the People,’ They Mean ‘the Government’

    What’s Wrong with Putting America First?

    Why a Leading White Supremacist Endorsed Joe Biden

    White supremacist Richard Spencer is back in the news again for endorsing Joe Biden, which means that I am once again being inundated with furious messages from morons who cannot distinguish between Richard Spencer and Robert Spencer. Because of that...

    The Original Deep State

    Donald Trump is not the first president to face down a deep-state cabal, that is, an unelected oligarchy of shadowy figures who wielded enormous power while being unaccountable to the American public. The first was President Andrew Jackson, who faced...

    Fighting Back against the Left's War on Our History

    If we’re going to make America great again, we have to know what made it great in the first place. That’s why the Left went into a frenzy of vandalism in tearing down statues earlier this summer, not just of Confederates but of those nota...

    Outing the Gun Owners and the Left's New Savagery

    Russell Brand and the Degeneration of the Public Discourse

    President Obama's reelection was the result of forty years of work and more, as the hard Left took control not only of the government, but of the media, the educational system, and the entertainment industry. No one has been willing to admit it, or h...

    Inventing Muhammad?

    Why would it matter if Muhammad never existed?  Certainly the accepted story of Islam's origins is taken for granted as historically accurate; while many don't accept Muhammad's claim to have been a prophet, few doubt that there was a man named ...

    Rick Perry's Jihad Problem

    Rick Perry is woefully unfit to be president of the United States, but not because he couldn't remember a key element of his own program during a recent debate, or because he gave a speech while possibly drunk.  Rick Perry is woefully unfit to b...
