  • Jewish Supremacy is a Bigger Problem than Antisemitism

    Fifteen months into Israel’s holocaust some leftists continue to uphold Jewish supremacy.

  • A Gift America Can’t Return

    The American police state has become America’s new crime boss.

    Is the Constitution Becoming Optional?

    Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges.

  • Losing Honestly and Gracefully

    Losing Honestly and Gracefully

    After election defeats, political writers are quick to explain that if only the politicians had read my book and followed my advice, things would have been different for our side.
