What once put these punk groups in direct opposition to the mainstream has now become deeply entrenched in the mainstream. What,...

The American Dream means different things to different people -- for the Founders, it meant a place to live in freedom to enjoy life and pursue their own goals. It still means that for millions of people around the world living under oppressive regimes. Later, it came to mean other,...

It seems a long time since we have had an old-fashioned tax debate, and no wonder. After all, with the establishment-dominated and deep-state controlled federal government fleecing posterity to pay for endless foreign wars, mandating experimental medical treatments approved for emergency use, censoring citizens' speech online and arresting political opponents,...

It's no secret that Hollywood is in rough shape. Just look at the bloodbath that was the 2023 box office, and that becomes painfully clear for anyone who can do basic math.

One wonders if left-wing, uber-progressive college students protesting an "oppressive" regime half a planet away would last a day under the true tyranny of an Islamic regime.

If the 1930s taught us anything, it's that hate is like a sickness, attacking minds unused to critical thinking and healthy skepticism with the ease of a superbug. And no one is less used to critical reasoning or basic life skills than Harvard's $79,500-a-year students. For instance, if you're going to...

Here's a peculiar temporal quirk about long-running cartoon "The Simpsons": Time seems to endlessly loop, but characters stay dead (spin-off episodes notwithstanding). Lisa Simpson, the elder daughter of the family, has been a second grader for the entire 35-season run of the show, which would imply that "The Simpsons" is...
