I thought I had seen the last of traitorous Americans cursing our soldiers or calling for them to be killed when the last American combat troops were pulled out of Vietnam following the 1973 Paris Peace Treaty. After the disgusting display by anti-American, pro-Iran thugs in Philadelphia and the perfidious …
There is hope for women’s sports—at last. The IOC just announced a new policy that excludes transgender men (biological males) from the female category at the Olympic Games. That means we won’t have to watch women getting pummeled and mauled by men claiming to be women in Olympic boxing or …
A couple of things occurred to me while I was watching the World Baseball Classic championship game last week between the United States and Venezuela. The game was being played at the Florida Marlins stadium in Miami, which, when I last checked, was an American city. Yet, judging from the …
If there is one thing most authors have in common, besides the sheer agony that sometimes accompanies the writing process, it is the dreaded Rejection Letter from an agent or publisher. I don’t know who got this one from Harlequin, but it had to be devastating for whoever received it. …

The other day, I watched Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blathering on about recently fired Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noam. Jeffries was ecstatic. In fact, he seemed to be salivating as he tore into Noem’s damaged political carcass. “Good riddance,” Jeffries snarled. “Noem was an unhinged, out-of-control, pathological …
(Occasionally, I like to repost my piece on Evelyn Waugh’s “Scoop,” the classic book that lampoons foreign correspondents. I first read Scoop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in March 1975 as Communist Khmer Rouge guerrillas surrounded the besieged city. Day after day, the Khmer Rouge bombarded the city with 107mm Chinese-made …
Last week, I posted a column discussing a new movement in the U.K. designed to “Restore Britain”—meaning to restore Great Britain’s traditions and values, which are under assault by a deluge of third-world migration, both legal and illegal. The founder of that movement, a former Member of Parliament named Rupert …
