Why Victorious Ideas Don't Always Win
Winning the war of ideas isn't enough.
Consider government-sanctioned racial discrimination. There's a reason the left hides behind acronyms like DEI. Judging people on their skin color, not their character, remains unpopular. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits racial discrimination in employment and education. In 2023, the Supreme Court ...Read more
We Are Not OK, but There Is Hope
The sign outside the little Baptist congregation in Sewickley read simply: "In Memory of Charlie Kirk 1993-2025." It was one of dozens of images on Facebook feeds showing houses of worship honoring Kirk since he was murdered while speaking at Utah Valley University.
On the steps of the Pittsburgh City-County building on Grant Street in the ...Read more
Bibi Tells the Truth (Again)
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the UN General Assembly was partly performance, but mostly profound.
The performance part included a QR code on his lapel which delegates were invited to zoom in with their camera phones and see atrocities committed by Hamas ...Read more
The Folly of 'Palestinian' Statehood
Four of America's nominally closest allies -- Britain, Australia, France and Canada -- disgraced themselves this week by recognizing a so-called Palestinian state. In so doing, these nations didn't merely betray the broader Western civilizational inheritance to which they lay claim. They also rewarded terrorism, strengthened the genocidal ...Read more
How Can We Expect Immigrants To Embrace American Values if We Don't?
In addition to demonstrating a basic handling of speaking, reading and writing in English, federal immigration law requires prospective citizens to understand "the fundamentals of the history, and of the principles and form of government, of the United States."
Do they? According to studies, over 40% of new immigrants aren't proficient in even ...Read more
We Arrive at My Fear
A philosophical festering has taken root in the minds of the left that their opponents are evil, and words are violence. A permission structure formed on MSNBC and other progressive media outlets that the right must be stopped to save democracy. An exculpatory structure formed on CNN and other media outlets downplaying or excusing progressive ...Read more
Democratic Party Isolation Is Getting Worse
We Americans, it seems, continue to live in two separate countries. Consider two items in the news this week and the inconsistent responses they evoked.
One was the conviction in Florida of Ryan Routh, the second man who attempted to assassinate then-candidate Donald Trump in mid-September 2024. The news appeared on page A24 of the print ...Read more
MAGA says no to Trump & Kennedy’s junk science
The scene would have been comical if not so frightening.
President Trump stood at the White House podium, addressing a room full of reporters.
“First, effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians that the use of…ah-said-a…well…let’s see how we say that.”
As he struggled again to say “acetaminophen,” and asked ...Read more
Free Speech and Its Discontents
"It does me no injury for my neighbor
to say there are 20 gods or no God.
It neither picks my pocket nor
breaks my leg."
-- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
"Congress shall make no law ...
abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press ... "
-- First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
The modern concept ...Read more
AOC's Socialist Dream Could Become America's Nightmare
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's flirtation with a presidential run is the latest warning sign of just how far the Democratic Party's leadership has careened off the rails. After crushing defeats in the latest election, moderate Democrats have failed to take matters into their own hands, continuing to kneel to the strength of the far-left wing of ...Read more
Brace Yourselves
Last week -- just days after Charlie Kirk's assassination -- I wrote a column in which I warned that inflammatory rhetoric and violence erupting from the Left would not be going away anytime soon:
"Anyone thinking that a spate of firings or nationwide prayer vigils are going to deter the American Left had better open their eyes and gird their...Read more
Forgiveness or Revenge?
It’s been 10 years since a white supremacist shot and killed nine people studying the Bible at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. In a statement that shocked many people, relatives of the ...Read more
Then Trump Spoke and Putin's Ukraine War Went Tilt
Let's start with Vladimir Putin's recent one-two military-political pokes that Vlad bet would shatter NATO -- but didn't.
That assessment addressed, we will assess Donald Trump's international spotlight United Nations mega-denunciation of Vlad's mass murder war and Trump's indictment of Vlad's oil buying financiers, specifically China and ...Read more
Trump Targets UN -- Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel
WASHINGTON -- The escalator stopped working as President Donald Trump and the first lady entered the United Nations on Tuesday. Then, as Trump began to deliver his speech to the General Assembly, the teleprompter didn't work.
Whether the glitches were engineered or not, Trump saw the stumbles as proof that the U.N. is not up to his standards....Read more
NYers Can't Afford Mamdani's Climate Dreams
Climate activists from all over are pouring into Gotham for Climate Week. They are abuzz over the likelihood of electing a climate mayor -- Zohran Mamdani. Some sipped cocktails at a fundraiser Wednesday night to benefit several climate groups and a newly launched PAC backing Mamdani called New Yorkers for Lower Costs.
That name -- New ...Read more
My Website Now Has a Billion Views
Eight years ago, I left network TV behind. I worried that moving to social media wouldn't work -- that not enough people wanted news alongside cat videos. I also worried that not enough of you would donate to pay for it. Unlike most of what you find on Fox News, CNN, etc., we at Stossel TV do weeks of research. Before we post, seven people fact-...Read more
What the 15 Wealthiest Congressional Districts Have in Common
Each of the 15 wealthiest congressional districts in the United States in 2024 -- when measured by median household income -- had at least one thing in common: They all elected Democrats to the House of Representatives.
Even as voters nationwide were electing President Donald Trump to a second term in office, he lost to then-Vice President ...Read more
'Fact-Checkers' Pounce on Trump, Skip Over Kamala
President Donald Trump's address to the United Nations General Assembly was the latest example of how our "independent fact-checkers" are better defined as Democrat-dependent messaging machines. Their selection bias is transparent.
PolitiFact was live-blogging and throwing "Pants on Fire" rulings on their X account. For example, Trump claimed ...Read more
Trump vs. ABC and Kimmel: When wokism eats its own tail
PARIS — Late-night TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is guilty of wrong-speak about conservative influencer Charlie Kirk’s assassination. What he said doesn’t even matter. Nor should it, frankly. At least not inside a free speech zone.
But of course, that era is light years in the rearview mirror. These days, every offhand remark gets ...Read more
Kirk Showed What It Means to Be a Man
Popular culture has two competing narratives about manhood. Charlie Kirk rejected both of them and set an example that young men should follow.
The dominant view is that masculinity is toxic. In 2018, the American Psychological Association issued guidelines declaring that "traditional masculinity ideology" limits "males' psychological ...Read more
