The Ten Commandments monument in Kalispell is part of a “cornerstones of law” display outside the old County Courthouse. When it was toppled this weekend, it was an apt symbol of the nation’s descent into chaos and lawlessness in the last two months. A ne’er-do-well named Craig Weimer has been arrested for wrapping a chain
If you’re not scared by what is happening to free speech, then you may have already surrendered to the mob. My new column at Real Clear Politics looks at how hard it is to resist a digital mob that can destroy lives in a matter of minutes, and concludes there may be few heroes who
What should have been a unifying moment as all Americans condemned the murder of George Floyd instead became a terrifying reminder how close we are to tribalism and chaos. My column this week at Real Clear Politics points out the similarity of America’s current power struggle to the allegory of “Lord of the Flies” and
As America teeters on the brink of collapse, there seems to be only one voice shouting out a warning that the enemy is not only closing in but has actually breached the gates. Tucker Carlson, the host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Fox News Channel, has become a modern-day Cassandra, the character from Greek mythology

My new column at Real Clear Politics takes a look at how coronavirus is changing society in many ways, and concludes that the Fake News Media is just getting worse in its feverish hatred of President Trump and the truth. Last week, they even tried to kneecap Dr. Fauci. The words of Joseph Welch are
I’m not a military guy, so forgive me if I get this wrong, but three cheers for Captain Crozier! Crozier is the former commanding officer of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, who was relieved of command after he sent a letter seeking to have his crew evacuated following an outbreak of coronavirus on
Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who questioned the validity of Dr. Deborah Birx advising Americans to stay out of grocery stores and pharmacies for two weeks. I’ve experienced higher than usual traffic on my weekend post about Birx, with a number of skeptical queries on search engines leading people to my headline: “Did Dr.
Coronavirus hasn’t changed everything. For instance, the radical left is still trying to silence the voices of conservatives in the media. In March, they claimed an important scalp when they convinced Fox Business to fire Trish Regan for telling the truth about how Democrats are playing politics with the virus crisis. Here’s my look at
President Trump decided to give CNN’s Jim Acosta one more chance to be a journalist on Monday, March 30, 2020, but Acosta failed miserably. “Go ahead. Let’s give it a shot,” the president said to Acosta when he called on him at the coronavirus press conference. But as soon as Acosta opened his mouth, it
