Everything you’ve heard about the fires in the Amazon is wrong. The jungle is not on fire. The fires have been set by farmers who are burning their fields to prepare them for the next growing season. The land they are burning has been cleared for years. They’re using the fires to control weeds, […]
He’s an internationally known computer scientist at Yale University – the New York Times dubbed him a “rock star” – but he no longer believes in evolution. David Galernter – whom the UnaBomber tried to blow up in 1993 – was disabused of Darwin’s theory by science and not religion. “The origin of species,” says […]
The New York Times, through what it is calling “The 1619 Project,” has decided to rewrite American history by identifying the date of our “true founding” as August 20, 1619, 400 years ago today. The Times has picked that date because that’s the day when “20. and odd Negroes” (sic) were off-loaded from a Dutch […]
My good friend Scott Lively, former two-time candidate for governor in Massachusetts and author of The Pink Swastika, believes the fix is in for the Democrats to select Elizabeth Warren as their candidate for 2020. And I believe he is right. (Don’t blame Scott for anything else I say in the rest of this column.) […]
Josh Harris of “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” has quite publicly and unreservedly renounced his faith. “I have undergone a massive shift in regard to my faith in Jesus,” he writes on Instagram. “The popular phrase for this is ‘deconstruction,’ the biblical phrase is ‘falling away.’ By all the measurements that I have for defining a […]
If you love Jesus, he’s going to divide your family. He said it would happen, and his words have proven heartbreakingly true. “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his […]
Regressives cherish an utterly sophomoric myth, that the problem with modern society is guns. If we could just get rid of guns, they think, society would once again be peaceful and harmonious, and everyone would get along famously. But the problem in modern society is not guns, it is people. The left thinks that guns […]
When our Founding Fathers brought our democratic republic into existence, they built it on a straightforward, unambiguous foundation. Government, whether at the state level or federal level, has a simple yet elegant charter, according to the Declaration: to protect our inalienable rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” (By this last phrase, the […]
There is a movement afoot in Jamaica to ban spanking on the grounds that it is a form of child abuse. In this story in the Miami Herald, spankings are consistently labeled as acts of “violence.” But they are not. Spanking is not violence, it’s entirely necessary discipline for a child. It’s not child abuse. […]
One could almost feel sorry for Robert Mueller, whose reputation as a man of unimpeachable integrity and straight-shooting law man burned to the ground in front of him during his testimony before Congress. He appeared frail, uncertain, and feeble. He simply was not up to the challenge. He fumbled simple questions, paused awkwardly on numerous […]
