During the height of the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial, LeBron James encouraged his 100 million followers on social media to mock the teenage defendant’s emotional outburst as he recalled the savage mob chasing him down to kill him on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin. James’ ridicule of a young man…
Why are progressive regions of the country—especially in the old major liberal cities (e.g., Chicago, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle)—institutionalizing de facto racial quotas through “proportional representation” based on “disparate impact”? Why are they promoting ethnic and racial chauvinism, such as allowing college students to select…
We live in chaotic times, wherein the forces of creation and destruction are warring. This internecine conflict within the human family is neither novel nor final, but perpetually prone to eruption throughout the course of history. Even within periods of relative calm and creation, such as the Enlightenment, the forces…
History’s dark sense of humor has now linked the fate of American Muslims, environmental activists, and MAGA protestors who allege the FBI is abusing them to gin up prosecutions. At the heart of the Supreme Court case Federal Bureau of Investigation v. Fazaga is the FBI’s effort to maintain a…

Project Bioshield was designed to prepare…
An annoying number of commentators on the political Right are insisting that Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn’t have been out in the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin on the night of August 25, 2020. Take the perennially wrong Quin Hillyer over at the Washington Examiner, for example. “Rittenhouse is at clear moral fault…
Fun, as you might imagine, was not how I would describe this adventure. Awesome? Yes. Fun? No. N.O. No way. But would I do it again? If I could rewind to that moment when the alarm went off at 4:30 a.m. to throw on clothes, grab our packs and trek…
