(Sophie O’Hara) The events that happened on January 6th are still not as cut and dry as the Dems would like us to believe.

A Short Course in ‘Fake Tribalism’ for MAGAs
(Christopher Chantrill) After the fiasco of January 6 and the semi-fiasco of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), some people like Jackie Gingrich Cushman are calling for moderation. Even Robert Stacy McCain is wondering “Why is tribalism in America now asserting itself in such toxic and ferocious ways?”
Leftist Reactions to Rush Limbaugh’s Death Are Truly Depraved
(Blaine Traber) There’s a stark difference in the way the left reacts to conservative icons dying and the way the right reacts to progressive icons who die. This was put on full display today as Rush Limbaugh’s death brought out the ugliest side of “Blue Checkmark Twitter.”
When American Lawyers Are Taught to Hate America
(Eileen F. Toplansky) It is no longer a surprise why so many American students have come to despise their own country. The latest example of deliberate misinformation comes from the New Jersey State Bar Foundation (NJSBF). Claiming that “informed citizens are better citizens,” the NJSBF issued a May 20, 2020 article titled “Explaining the Roots of Institutional Racism.”
A Look at What the Russian Media Think of Joe Biden
(Lynn Corum) Bear in mind two things. First of all, many Russians recall the 1980s, when their country was ruled by decrepit, aging Politburo hacks, hastening the demise of the Soviet Union. Those same Russians also recall the 1990s, when the United States, it is felt, imposed a level of democracy and capitalism upon Russia that was ever lacking in America itself, leading to chaos and bankruptcy.
American Christianity Is Anything But Corrupt
(Seth Grossman) Several weeks ago, the Los Angeles Times published an opinion piece entitled “The ferocious last gasps of the religion of Christian America,” which was widely reprinted in other newspapers. The piece is based on the false premise that America in the past embraced a “corrupted” version of Christianity that was built on intolerance, violence, and “white, male, heterosexual dominance.” It falsely claims that this corrupted “American Christianity” caused the violence at the Capitol and is an evil and dangerous force that is not dying fast enough.
Silver Bullion London Supplies Almost Gone
(Jhanders) Silver in London’s underground vaults is running low. Derivative powers that be are on full defense.
The ‘Insurrection Hallucination’ and How We Got There
(Clarice Feldman) It’s no secret the media has lots of ways to gaslight you. One of those is failing to report significant happenings.
It’s a Big Club, and You Ain’t in it
(Brian C. Joondeph) One of comedian George Carlin’s more notable quotes, pointing out a reality of American life is, “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.” His words are a simple commentary on the ruling class, the elites, the cabal, the establishment, or the deep state, whatever you prefer to call the Big Club.
Trump: In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb
(Brian C. Joondeph) March weather, according to folklore, comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, although late March often has its share of nasty winter storms where I live. Donald Trump’s presidency has followed a similar pattern.
MOSELEY: Trump Team’s New Legal Brief DESTROYS Democrats’ Post-Presidency Impeachment Dreams
(Jon Moseley) Virginia attorney Jon Moseley says Trump’s legal team expertly crafted a legal brief that demolishes the Democrats’ hopes of impeachment.
The Griggs Decision and Affirmative Action
(Nicholas J. Kaster) Griggs v. Duke Power Co. does not have the name recognition of Roe v. Wade or Brown v. Board of Education, but it is nonetheless one of the most consequential decisions ever rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court. As we approach the 50th anniversary of the case, which was handed down on March 8, 1971, it is worth reflecting on its impact — first, in moving American racial policy from civil rights to affirmative action and second, in its unintended effect of increasing the demand for college degrees and thus raising the cost of and dependence on university education.
Must Christians Submit to Evil Authorities?
(H. Gordon Smith III) What is a Christian’s responsibility to submit to governmental authority when laws and regulations are in conflict with a Christian’s belief?
Our Overlords Should Not Expect an Easy Populace to Rule
(J.B. Shurk) There is a suffocating feeling of dread in the air — a palpable fear among many Americans that freedom is on its way out. I truly get that. State and corporate authoritarianism has taken over. Little fascists patrol the public square looking for dissent to whatever contrived politically correct nonsense the cultural Marxists conjure up next. Members of Congress malign those who don’t submit to the left’s delusions as Hitler clones reborn, while the news media and tech behemoths goose-step right behind our Big Government overlords, finding new ways to demonize ordinary Americans who want nothing more than just to be left alone. And too many Republican Party officeholders (who were elected to fight the good fight) have hidden under their desks while the socialist monster grew, sprinted in the opposite direction far from the fields of battle, or already submitted their résumés and bona fides to the new Soviet class taking over.
Twenty-First Century Rules for Revolutionaries
(Caren Besner) Since George Floyd’s death, events seem to be spiraling out of control. For weeks, Americans were bombarded, almost on a daily basis, with reports of large protests in major cities, accompanied by rioting, looting, burning, assaults, and even murders.
