The biggest story of the election was how the media ignored the biggest story of the election.
Amid all the breathless coverage of a non-existent War on Women, there was little or no coverage of Obama's war on the economy-how, for instance, part-time work is replacing full-time work; how low-wage jobs are replacing high-wage ones; how for Americans between the ages of 25 and 54 there are fewer jobs today than there were when the recession officially...

The modern conservative intellectual movement began in 1953 with Russell Kirk's groundbreaking book The Conservative Mind. Four years later, he published a pithy, wry, philosophical summary of what conservatism really means. Originally titled The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Conservatism, this little book was essentially a popular version of The Conservative Mind.
Now, a century after its author's birth, this neglected gem has been recovered. It...

It's become fashionable among the liberal elite to downplay, deride, even deny America's greatness. The political correctness police insist that America is "hated" around the world for being too big, too powerful, too rich, too successful, too loud, too intrusive. And besides, it's not nice to brag.
They are completely missing the point.
America's greatness, America's exceptional greatness, is not based on the fact that we are the most powerful,...

Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.
This is the vision of the Great Reset, according to globalist leaders. While proponents of the Great Reset push slogans like "Build Back Better," "The Fourth Industrial Revolution," and "A New Normal," the Reset is nothing short of a rebranded Soviet system, threatening to strip away property rights, restrict freedom of movement and association, and radically reshape...

But there's a way to stop the madness and return power to the people - where it belongs. Laura...
