Truth in Politics

Salman Rushdie, author of "The Satanic Verses," has had a fatwa on him for decades. Recently he was assaulted by a young Islamic man. Our Leftist regime and media, presumably disappointed that the perpetrator was not a white supremacist, refused at first to divulge his identity. There are two stories here: Islam's war on freedom of speech--and the media's war on

The Left is obsessed with the idea of 21st century systemic American racism. Are they right? Or are they wrong? We go looking for the racism--and the white supremacists--in the American system. We will integrate into this examination discussion of artistic works on the theme of racism. For example, the great 1960 Western "The Unforgiven" was directed by John Huston; it st

"How The West Was Won" is more than a great film. It is an American epic. Homer composed "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," the epic poems of Greek civilization. Virgil's "Aeneid" did the same for the Romans. This movie captures the essence of the distinctively optimistic nature of American heroism. Its focus is on conquering a continent, no

American conservatives, on some issues, uphold this principle. But, based on their religious beliefs, they deny to pregnant women the right to abortion. Further, Justice Clarence Thomas of SCOTUS, long one of the best of the conservat

The essence of America is individualism. Therefore, the "great American novel" necessarily focuses on this theme. No novel has ever done this as brilliantly as Ayn Rand's epic, "The Fountainhead." It features one of the great heroes in world literature--Howard Roark; the most complex heroine--Dominique Francon; the most nefarious villain--Ellsworth Toohey;

No rational case for abortion rights can be made in the absence of the principle of individual rights. Leftists, who reject individualism for collectivism, make a very weak case for the right to abortion. Conservatives, who profess to embrace individual rights regarding other issues, reject it in this case. What is the rational case for the right to abortion? What are the errors of

The question of gun control is: Does the rate of violent crime, including the homicide rate, go up or down after and because of gun control? To answer this question, we need two fields of knowledge: 1. the empirical data from gun-controlled areas and nations 2. the principles that explain the data. We need to get the answer right, and then found our policy in the accurate answer. I

"Top Gun: Maverick" is more than just an exciting US Navy thriller. It is a significant event in the culture wars. It celebrates America and heroism; additionally, it repudiates toxic leftism and glorifies testosterone-coursing masculinity. In so doing, it has the triumphant feel of a John Wayne Western, where the good guys always pound the bad guys to a frazzle. What doe
