When Ken Miller changed his party registration from Democrat to Republican in September 2020, he said he wasn’t doing it for Donald Trump. He had not voted for Trump nor Hillary Clinton in 2016. Rather, he said, he was doing it for himself and his community after watching Democrats govern […]
While reports of Black Lives Matters (BLM) co-founders using BLM funds to purchase multi-million-dollar homes in the United States and abroad has gained some media attention in recent weeks, we should keep in mind that BLM’s shady financial dealings likely go much further than these questionable purchases. In fact, over […]
The great debates of our time are not exclusively those hard-hitting ones affecting human anthropology and political community — how many genders exist, what criteria we should look for in prospective immigrants, and so forth. Certainly, many of our most notable debates do implicate those most foundational rifts. But some […]
Patrice Cullors, the “Marxist” co-founder of Black Lives Matter (BLM), is coming under scrutiny, yet again, for a lavish home she purchased while serving as executive director of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF). According to New York Magazine, Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Melina Abdullah purchased a 6,500 square […]
Periodically, in what seems like a never-ending assault on our basic values and the rule of law, good news emerges. The good news now is the unanimous decision of a panel of three judges on an Ohio Court of Appeals, supporting a jury decision in favor of Gibson’s Bakery in […]
President Joe Biden says he never talked business with his son. Maybe he didn’t. Maybe that Ukrainian gas company paid Hunter Biden half a million dollars because he has unique business skills that no one else noticed. It’s possible. But unlikely. Now a Justice Department investigation may tell us whether […]
Last week, reporter Christopher Rufo released footage of top Disney employees vowing to inject their radical LGBTQ agenda into children’s programming. Disney producer Latoya Raveneau told an all-hands meeting that her team works to push a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” in programming aimed at kids and sought to add “queerness” to […]
WILLS, Pennsylvania — Andrew Ayers is busy working on loading and unloading several machines at Guy Chemical — a massive, 30,000-square-foot industrial facility that sits tucked along the border of a tiny unincorporated town in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. People call Ayers one of the lucky ones for surviving his addiction […]
On the precipice of the regime-defining 2020 presidential election, Facebook and Twitter committed their “Pearl Harbor attack” against the incumbent president, Donald Trump, and in dutiful favor of the regnant regime’s favored candidate, Joe Biden. In an October move that would presage the collapse of the “public”-“private” distinction during the […]
It is ironic that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who is a member of the legislative branch, is practically begging for President Biden to bypass Congress in order to implement her socialist agenda. Typically, members of Congress are reluctant to cede legislative power to the executive branch, seeing as how the […]
Millions flee Ukraine. Where will they go? Some want to come to America. But doing that legally is hard. A complex system is supposed to determine which people deserve to get in line to get in. “The line is broken,” explains Reason Magazine editor at large Matt Welch in my […]
This week, Will Smith — perhaps the most bankable star of his generation — won an Oscar for Best Actor for “King Richard.” But that wasn’t why he made headlines. He made headlines because during the Academy Awards ceremony, comedian Chris Rock told a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett […]
I have been writing for years about how progressive policies championed by the Democratic Party and served up under the guise of caring about low-income Americans wind up hurting these very communities. The latest chapter in this saga is the newly unleashed round of inflation, the worst our country has […]
As most true heroes will tell you, if you can get them to talk about themselves, they are drawn to running toward the fire rather than away from it — not because they possess extraordinary courage or remarkable strength, but because of a deep sense of purpose. One week ago, […]
Below is the Socialism Research Center’s official list of the top conservative news sites and conservative websites for March 2022. The “Top 100” conservative news and opinion sites rankings were calculated by examining Alexa traffic rankings for roughly 150 conservative websites. CLICK HERE FOR OUR OTHER RANKINGS.

The issue with Ketanji Brown Jackson, the 51-year-old federal appellate judge who is our senile president’s Supreme Court nominee, is not necessarily her on-paper qualifications. By most traditional metrics, she is “qualified”: She has served as both a district court and appellate court judge, served as vice chair of the […]
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics are part of a controversial social credit scoring system designed to help corporations, banks, and even some governments evaluate businesses and individuals. Unlike other tools used to measure the performance of a business, ESG systems focus on many non-financial factors, such as a company’s […]
Never underestimate the left’s uncanny ability to use a crisis to usher in massive political changes. As Rahm Emanuel famously said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” Emanuel […]
Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is once again in the crosshairs of liberals. This has been going on since his confirmation hearings in 1991, when President George H.W. Bush had the temerity to nominate a Black conservative to take the Supreme Court seat of Thurgood Marshall. Thomas’ confirmation hearings […]
The “Greens” promise renewables, solar and wind power, will replace fossil fuels. After all, the wind and sun are free, and they don’t pollute! Oops. Now countries that embraced renewables are so desperate for power that they eagerly import coal, the worst polluter of all! Do they apologize? No. Greens […]
This week, The Walt Disney Company, which has approximately 200,000 employees spanning the globe, decided to radically reshape its politics in response to a tiny contingent of radical activists. According to The Wall Street Journal, Disney CEO Bob Chapek had steadfastly refused to embroil his company in the politics of […]
With France’s presidential election less than a month away, it seems like the once-dormant Communist Party is making major inroads among French leftists. According to a recent poll, the candidate for France’s Communist Party, Fabien Roussel, has now cruised ahead of less-radical socialist party candidates, on his way to becoming […]
PITTSBURGH — Evelyn Wade was standing in a line with her friends, Sandra Owen and Janet Mundy. The queue not only filled the long hallway of the Allegheny Elks Club lobby but went out the door and down the steps. It then stretched around the city block of Cedar Avenue. […]
Although capitalism has been around for a few hundred years, apparently there has been a massive secret at the center of the economic philosophy that has remained hidden for far too long. Fortunately, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who graduated with a degree in economics from Boston University, has somehow unlocked […]
When the Founding Fathers created the structure of the federal government, they wisely included the principles of separation of powers and checks and balances so that each branch of the national government would be limited in its scope of powers. In its most basic form, this meant that the legislative […]
There is no substitute for American strength. When America’s enemies find weakness, they exert pressure. And today, America’s enemies are finding weakness at nearly every turn. Vladimir Lenin supposedly stated that his preferred foreign policy strategy was to “probe with bayonets: if you find mush, you push. If you find […]
Today, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) divesting in fossil fuels is all the rage on Wall Street. Both President Biden and the United Nations support allowing banks and investment giants to collude to reshape economies and our energy infrastructure. A group supported and promoted by the United Nations, the Principals […]
The little hidden secret about World War II is that it was a giant struggle between two opposing economic ideologies—capitalism and socialism. Unfortunately, the public is mostly unaware that the German National Socialists and Italian Fascists ranks were chock-full of hardcore socialists and Marxist-lite ideologues. This was no accident. For […]
For conservatives and Republicans, the present flare-up in Ukraine has shone a spotlight on the extent to which there is profound foreign policy disagreement within the broader ranks. From the ultra-hawkish calls for a U.S.-imposed no-fly zone or even the assassination of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin from the likes of […]
I dislike politicians. I don’t trust people who are so desperately eager to run others’ lives. But Rep. Ron Paul is different. He wants government to leave us alone. He promoted the benefits of limited government and free markets long before I’d even thought about them. I first interviewed Paul […]
The distorted rhetoric — should I say lies? — labeling Florida’s legislation about parental rights in public schools as, “Don’t say gay” demonstrates the hypocrisy of LGBTQ activism. I say hypocrisy because this movement has always showcased itself as being about freedom, rights and social justice. But the reality is […]
RIDGWAY, Pennsylvania — While outsiders like to say there are more elk than people here in Elk County because of the abundance of the former and the sparse population of the latter, today is a different day as thousands of people from across Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland descend here […]
The defeat of Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan in World War II ushered in the Cold War era. For the four and a half decades between the defeat of fascism and the collapse of communism, global affairs unfolded within a bipolar backdrop of “mutually assured” destruction between the […]
If there ever was any doubt that America’s higher education system has gone absolutely haywire, consider this story from the University of Florida. The taxpayer-funded University of Florida in Gainesville recently named one of its 14 new group study rooms at the George A. Smathers Libraries the “Karl Marx Study […]
Achieving bipartisan consensus on important issues in Washington, DC these days is about as likely as winning the lottery. However, in a rare form of bipartisanship, Republicans and Democrats are coming together to voice their outrage over the Biden administration’s foolish plan to buy oil from socialist tyrant Nicholas Maduro. […]
I wrote last week about the collapse of the Soviet Union as result of the strength, moral clarity and leadership of President Ronald Reagan. I quoted Reagan’s observation that the ultimate battle we fight, around the world and at home, is one of good and evil. This battle never ends. […]
Russia’s invasion revealed big differences in how politicians deal with threats. The president of Ukraine, when offered evacuation, said, “I need ammunition, not a ride.” He’s a leader. By contrast, in Canada a few weeks before, when truckers staged a protest against COVID-19 rules, the cowardly Prime Minister Justin Trudeau […]
This week, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine dragged on, gas prices in America soared to their highest levels since 2008, increasing over 57 cents in just one month. In parts of the United States, gas at the pump costs in excess of $7 per gallon. The answer to this […]
In March of last year, days after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed new voting reform legislation, Atlanta-based Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey said, “This legislation is unacceptable. It is a step backwards … and needs to be remedied, and we will continue to advocate for it both in private and now […]
More so than perhaps any story in my adult lifetime, there is now an astonishing amount of disinformation pertaining to Vladimir Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine. Russian disinformation and Russian propaganda, by now infamous for any American with even a cursory knowledge of the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, […]
The 2022 mid-term election season officially kicked off on March 1, when Texas held its primary races for the upcoming election this November. Among the noteworthy outcomes from the nation’s first primary races was the victory of self-avowed socialist Greg Casar, running on the Democratic Party’s ticket for the U.S. […]
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics are a kind of social credit system designed to coerce businesses—and, by extension, individuals and all of society—to transform their practices. Through a carrot-and-stick approach, investors and banks (and soon governments) use ESG to push businesses to change how they function, regardless of what […]
Leave it to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to somehow blame the United States for Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. On February 26, the DSA released a statement “On Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine,” in which they demand the United States withdraw from NATO because “imperialist expansionism set the stage […]
President Joe Biden just gave his State of the Union Address. Here’s what I wish Biden said: “Russia’s unwarranted invasion of Ukraine reminds us why it’s crucial that America’s military remains strong, and focused on defense, not distractions like gender equity. “I stand with the people of Ukraine, and I […]
After the end of the Cold War, foreign policy experts across the spectrum assured us that things had changed. Wars of pure border conquest were over. Wars over oil would soon be a thing of the past. Instead, the increasingly intertwined world would move toward peace. Thomas Friedman suggested in […]
Regardless of what any American feels about what steps we should take in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggressive incursion into Ukraine, for sure most are appalled by what he has done. As Putin moves to regain Russian control over nations that once were part of the Soviet sphere, […]
In February 2014, Russian kingpin Vladimir Putin invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula, which had been under Ukrainian jurisdiction. The timing was no accident, coming as it did only a handful of months after then-President Barack Obama reneged upon his own chemical weapons “red line” for Syrian dictator Bashar […]
A new report from Pew Research shows that the sharpest drop in approval for President Joe Biden is among the Democratic Party’s most loyal and consistent supporters — Black protestants. In March 2021, shortly after he took office, Biden’s support among Black protestants stood at 92%. By January 2022, this […]
