Hamas terrorists slaughtering hundreds of Jews has made Democrats very concerned about Islamophobia. That sounds like a Babylon Bee headline, but it’s not.
Republican voters see Nikki Haley as Mitt Romney in high heels. It’s deeply naïve to think she would best Donald Trump in a one-on-one matchup.
The police are supposed to stop crime, not facilitate it. Yet, that appears to be Las Vegas Metro’s approach to Culinary Local 226’s plan to shut down the Las Vegas Strip.
The kids in the worst Clark County School District schools are the least likely to have a full-time teacher.
Anti-Semitism is a mainstream ideology on the political left. Look at what’s happened since Hamas terrorists murdered more than 1,400 people in Israel.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis looked more presidential over the last week than either President Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
Blaming Israel for Hamas’s terrorism is the logical outgrowth of believing critical race theory. Little wonder students at many elite universities are doing just that.
The intellectual folly of leftists like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders is why Hamas uses women and children as human shields.
Sometimes, violence is the solution. Look at what Israel is facing.
Leftist immigration policies are contributing to the brutal rapes of an untold number of women and girls. Instead of reversing course, most Democrat politicians ignore it.

Reading from a Clark County School District library book will get you scolded and silenced by the school board president.
Rarely does a single incident so fully encapsulate the decline of so many foundational societal institutions.
If Gov. Ron DeSantis manages to upset Donald Trump, the trap he laid Wednesday could be a major turning point.
