I occasionally re-post commentaries by Victor Davis Hanson, who is a distinguished fellow of the Center for American Greatness and the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. Hanson is always lucid and logical in his approach to the issues and problems facing America. Here he …
The other day I was thinking how alarming it is that so many Americans today are embracing socialism and even communism.

If you don’t, here’s how it went: Stephanopoulos: “Your top military advisers warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep 2,500 troops.” Biden: “No, they didn’t.

Unlike my 13-years in academia, The Chair takes place at fictional ultra-liberal Pembroke University, which one faculty …
I posted this commentary a couple of years ago. Since then, nothing has changed. Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie books are still banned in many schools today and Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name is still excised from the award once named in her honor. This is censorship in …
Here is Part 2 of my original post on the collapse of the American Empire. When former President Obama scrapped the U.S. Manned Space program via Presidential fiat back in 2011, he signaled to the world that the U.S. was ceding its leadership and expertise in space exploration to nations …
