Some wrong predictions … oh, just never mind

End of the year predictions about the future have been around at least since the days of Nostradamus, but what about past predictions? There were plenty that electing Donald Trump the first time and then re-electing him, would cause economic Armageddon. Democrats and their media mouthpieces have consistently predicted monetary collapse from Trump’s policies. This year alone, editorials in The New York Times, The Washington Post and most “reporting” by mainstream networks have claimed with absolute certainty that the president’s tariffs would tank the economy. Now comes a ...

Harvard says yes to discrimination, no to Western civilization

At Harvard University today, professors who teach Western history are history. James Hankins, a specialist in Renaissance thought, was one of the last holdouts. Hankins, who has just published a hefty book that teaches what Harvard doesn’t — “The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Vol. 1” — has decamped for the University of Florida. It’s not the warmer weather that’s drawn him away from Cambridge, Mass. It’s the contrast in intellectual climates: Frozen and dead, where Western history is concerned, at Harvard; full of green shoots at the ...

Democrats are ready to rumble in 2028

A midterm election year is upon us, and that can mean only one thing: We have entered the realm of quickened speculation about the 2028 presidential election. On the Republican side, if President Donald Trump decides to abide by the Constitution in at least one respect, the nomination looks to be Vice President J.D. Vance’s to lose.

Chris Murphy and Chris Van Hollen have telegraphed their strategy for winning support from the Mamdani/AOC/Sanders ...

What Is Your Dream? You Can Make It Your Reality In 2026

I recently saw Ryan, one of my former high school soccer players for the first time in years. Ryan played at the turn of the century on our first three teams to win regional championships and go to the West Virginia State Soccer Tournament. One of those teams played Morgantown High for the State Championship. Back then there was only one class for high school soccer. To win the State Championship a team had to beat the biggest and best in the State. Our teams then didn’t have the overall talent and skills we have today. Their lack of talent and skills was made up for by heart, hustle ...

Harvard Fumbles By Saying Yes To Discrimination

At Harvard University today, professors who teach Western history are history. James Hankins, a specialist in Renaissance thought, was one of the last holdouts. Now Hankins, who has just published a hefty book that teaches what Harvard doesn’t -- “The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Vol. 1” -- has decamped for the University of Florida’s Hamilton School of Classical and Civic Education. It’s not the warmer weather that’s drawn him away from Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s the contrast in intellectual climates: frozen and dead, where Western history ...
