Speaking at an event in Davos this Thursday, George Soros said, “Facebook will work together to re-elect Trump, and Trump will work to protect Facebook so that this situation
As conservative writers for online magazines are all too well aware, their leftist adversaries are not interested in serious debate or mannerly conversation. Civility is not the left’s strong suit. Tactics vary along a spectrum of readily predictable talking points, false assertions, vituperation and obscenity, the stock in trade of those who have come to

Clayton Christensen at a TED Talks in 2012 (via YouTube) The guru of innovative technology leaves a legacy that extends well beyond the business world.

The impeachment managers have been harping on the damage that President Trump’s hold-up of aid to Ukraine allegedly did to our foreign policy. The argument, at least as they have often made it, is not compelling. First, as Trump’s defenders have pointed out, it is implausible that great harm was done by a temporary freeze.

On Episode 3 of The Fringe; Women Lie, I go over the dangerous demand from the left that we have to #BelieveWomen at all times about whatever women have to say, especially about crimes.

Is the “confidant” Steve Bannon? Because it sounds like Steve Bannon. Vivid tough-guy bluster. Axe-grinding about fickle establishmentarians. Whispering on background to reporters. It has all the hallmarks. Some lefties are taking the line literally, not because there’s any actual doubt that it’s metaphorical but because it’s Friday and content is thin and “the Trump
