Imagine No Police Force

Surely, I thought, this must be parody. But I was wrong! In support of the Left’s new defund-the-police mantra, Godfrey Elfwick wrote (June 9, 2020) the following paragraph in the article titled “Imagine No Police Force” in The Spectator, a 192-year-old British journal: I’m hearing inane questions such as ‘But what if my house is […]

Project 1623: When Socialism Lost, and Free Markets Won

[Originally published in June, 2020, this article has been updated to November, 2021] In August, 2019, the New York Times began driving an ill-conceived propaganda campaign called Project 1619, when slavery first came to America in the Jamestown, Virginia colony.

How Israelis Handle School Security – What We Can Learn

The Left, the Right, and Race – a Passionate Speech by Dennis Prager

To Americans, thunders Dennis Prager, race should be a person’s least important attribute. Instead, over the past 50 years, the Left has elevated race to be the single-most-important attribute that defines a person, followed closely by that person’s gender and class.  What ever happened to wisdom, character, compassion?  Further, when Prager is asked what is the most […]
