Kim, in a speech earlier this month at the University of Michigan, where she earned her doctorate, argued that the “Welfare Queen” has been mythically constructed in […]

Just as political careers are often launched from electoral defeats, so too do academic careers blossom when Left wing movements fail. Examples of the former abound, from Ronald Reagan’s rise in the wake of the Goldwater defeat of 1964 to Barack Obama’s in the wake of John Kerry’s loss in 2004. For illustrations of the […]

It is refreshing to see President-elect Trump on his “Thank You” tour speaking from a podium that proclaims “Merry Christmas.” The Trump victory was a revolt against Cultural Marxism, also known as political correctness.

Each of the following states produced one president apiece and you might be surprised at the chief executives that go with each of them—Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey and New Hampshire. They are: Ronald Reagan, born in Tampico, Illinois Abraham Lincoln, born in Hodgenville, Kentucky Gerald Ford, born in Omaha, Nebraska Grover Cleveland, born in […]

They are unlikely to find one. “Wise men” will tell them this is a “weak recovery” and “the financial crisis ended years ago.” During the 1930s, as many as 15 million were out of work, according to the Obama Administration’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
