Cambridge’s DEI Superstar Was A Serial Liar, Plagiarist, And Hate Hoaxer

Jason Arday was a serial liar, thug, narcissist, criminal, and plagiarist who quickly rose to the rank of full professor at Cambridge — one of the most prestigious and sought-after jobs in all of academia. Arday was awarded his job as a “Professor of Sociology of Education” not because of his talent or scholarship, but because he was a black activist. He told liberal white women what they wanted t

When ‘My Body, My Choice’ Becomes Something Much Darker

I know Rep. Nancy Mace. She’s a nice lady, but has always been a rather attention-seeking political personality. This goes all the way back to 1999, when she successfully integrated The Citadel – the men’s military academy. Then she ran for Congress, where she has been rather performative while in office. She made big headlines over the weekend because she decided to do a body reveal on national T

How The NGO-Media-UN Pipeline Launders Falsehoods When Israel Is Involved

Repeating a claim long and loud enough doesn’t make it true. But nowadays, many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the United Nations apparently prefer advancing fraudulent narratives over pursuing facts. The UN’s latest Commission of Inquiry report targeting Israel offers a revealing example. It works like this: an obviously partisan NGO propagates a claim that demonizes Israel, citing unf

Judge Richard Stearns needed four pages to hold that a university may violate Title VI for two academic years, retain every federal dollar it received, and defeat the United States by merely behaving itself once the government’s letter arrives.

The Hidden Way Corporate Lawfare Is Keeping DEI Alive

Making America Healthy Means Ending The Abortion Pill

There is nothing more important to a pregnant mother than making sure her growing baby is healthy. She tries to eat the right foods, avoids caffeine, and drinks plenty of water. As a mother of four, I know the feeling well.

How Inking Up Can Save the Right

Trump’s Break With South Korea Projects Weakness In The Pacific

Why It’s Time To Re-Form Welfare Reform

Welfare programs have taken hold in too many American families. While it is vital for families facing temporary financial hardships, welfare has created an environment where work is disincentivized, and families stay in poverty.
