Culture/Society

The relationship between the United States and Israel is usually seen as “special” because of technical matters. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel and the U.S. share vitally important intelligence and technology. But what about shared values? Shortly after America’s new ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, arrived at his post, he sat for an interview with the Christian…

Between a Special Report, Today, and the 3rd Hour of Today, NBC pulled out all the stops Monday in its coverage on the death of Pope Francis, unsurprisingly heralding him as a man of the people in the left’s sense of the term for being pro-LGBTQ, “brought the Catholic Church...away from the culture wars and back to Christ’s basic message,” and waged “clashes...with...…

The late, great Andrew Breitbart forcefully and repeatedly made the case that “politics is downstream from culture.” CBS’s extended whine session over the Trump takeover of the Kennedy Center proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Breitbart was ultimately right.

President Donald Trump ended federal DEI programs. Even before, companies were having second thoughts. Victoria’s Secret changed “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” to “inclusion and belonging.” Now, even woke Disney, despite squandering 270 million shareholder dollars on a moronic new version of “Snow White,” joined the mob of companies dropping DEI programs.

CBS Sunday Morning glowingly promoted a Broadway play about a controversial Cuban band, without once mentioning the word communism, and barely mentioning the Cuban Revolution. Its report promoting “Buena Vista Social Club” should be viewed as no less than softcore communist propaganda.

Colleges went mad. They charge students big bucks and then make them feel guilty. My new video looks at a new documentary called “The Coddling of the American Mind.” It persuasively suggests that today, young people are anxious and depressed because “adults” at their schools brainwashed them. Students like Lucy Kross Wallace at Stanford. “I was anxious,” she says. “I felt guilty constantly. I…

An essay appeared recently in The Wall Street Journal under the headline “What Happens When a Whole Generation Never Grows Up?”Behavior that has always been understood to define what it means to be an adult is disappearing among America’s younger generations. Institutions always seen as the sinews that define and hold together a society — homeownership, marriage, children — no longer…

Democrats are slowly, but surely, building a permission structure for progressive activists to kill those they determine are bad. From the rise of antisemitism to, now, the murder of an insurance CEO, few Democrats seem capable of condemning violence without adding a “but.” To their credit, Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania have condemned both without buts.…

On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt mocks Biden appearing to "wander off into the jungle" in Brazil. She promptly segues into calling Trump's nominees a "made-for-TV cast of characters," and rolls clips of a number of them making unusual, shall we say, statements!

I often report on fake “crises” pushed by media. Here’s one that may be real: Kids are anxious. In my new video, Lenore Skenazy, founder of the non-profit Let Grow, says it’s because today’s parents rarely allow their kids to experience the joys of independence. Skenazy once let her 9-year-old ride the New York City subway on his own. For that, the media labeled her “America’s worst mom.” “Law…

As we move to the conclusion of this election cycle, there seems to be only one thing about which all Americans agree. That is, that something is very wrong in our nation. In the latest Gallup polling, only 22% say they are satisfied with the direction of the country. The highest this has been over the last 16 years was 45% back in February of 2020. So, despite change in party control over…

What does it take for a parent to get arrested? Surprisingly little. Scott and Heather Wallace of Hewitt, Texas, encourage their three boys to play outside on their own to build independence. One day, driving home from karate practice, 8-year-old Aiden misbehaved. So, half a mile from home, Heather stopped the car and told him, “Walk the rest of the way on your own.”

CNN NewsNight has become the network’s Thunderdome with far-left host Abby Phillip and two or three liberal panelists squaring off with one or two actual, right-of-center conservatives for an entire hour. Given the fact that actual conservatives (or at least not Harris Republicans) are often brought in, it makes for compelling television. Thursday night was the case with conservative…

With a greater division in the understandings of each generation, politics has been caught in the very real question of how to appeal to all audiences, how to do this without isolating one, and especially without ostracizing another. This issue was demonstrated perfectly in the Monday afternoon segment of CNN’s The Lead, as host Jake Tapper and his fellow co-hosts attempted to dissect…
