Notice how Peter Thiel seems to be running the show, and the participants are the usual collection of dupes you find in movements funded by neocons and right-wing capitalist oligarchs. There is very little difference between this and […]

Peter Thiel was a Trump backer, […]

This is rather extraordinary. The neocons are attempting to co-opt anti-imperialism by bending it toward American unilateralism, and weaponizing anti-imperialism in a rhetorical battle against China. Any tendency that embraces Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley is nowhere near being “anti-imperialist.” This is the neocon playbook being […]

John McWhorter is called both a conservative and a liberal, depending on who people ask. He now argues that the current anti-racism ideology is a new religion of the left. In his new book, “Woke Racism,” McWhorter lashes out at what he calls the “third-wave anti-racism,” which positions […]

By Tim Pearce Mark Richards, who successfully defended Kyle Rittenhouse against murder charges last week, slammed MSNBC and CNN on Sunday for botching “basic facts” of Rittenhouse’s case. Richards appeared on NewsNation’s “Banfield” on Sunday with host Ashleigh Banfield to talk about the trial after Rittenhouse was cleared […]
By Conrad Black, American Greatness The Rittenhouse case avoided the curse of the American justice system; it certainly did not exonerate or vindicate it.

By Damon Linker, The Week Joe Biden’s steep slide in the polls since mid-summer is bad for the Democratic Party and, if it contributes to Donald Trump winning a second term in 2024, it could be terrible for the country. But it’s been very good for political punditry. […]
