One of our nation’s most tired clichés is to call America “an idea.” What does that even mean? It’s too vague and abstract to be of any practical use — and can even be used to dangerous ends.
The nation’s highest-ranking military officer recently defended teaching critical race theory, including to young soldiers. As if the armed forces don’t have enough on their plate, the Pentagon seems intent on entering another kind of conflict — the culture war. National security can only suffer as a result.
As Republicans across the nation begin launching their plans for the midterm elections, members such as Elise Stefanik and Ashley Hinson are a model for conservative women considering running for office.

Over the past week or so, the Biden administration has begun lifting sanctions on Iran in a desperate bid to revive the nuclear deal. Each round of economic relief has been a unilateral action, for which the US has received nothing in return. This is appeasement in action, plain and simple.
The woke left’s deep hostility toward Israel was never about Netanyahu or his policies; it was about a deep-seated hatred for, and illogical obsession with, the world’s only Jewish state.
The Chinese government seeks to destroy the Uyghurs — slowly, methodically, brutally. This is genocide in the age of social media: no gas chambers but the same goal of destruction in mind.
As a young woman who has faced challenges that are common across all races, ethnic backgrounds, and cultures, I reject the notion that I am supposed to feel guilty for the color of my skin and the apparent privilege that comes with it.
Saying there’s tension in the US-China relationship would be a gross understatement. The reality is much graver: Both countries are engaged in a second Cold War — a contest for global influence and, ultimately, supremacy.
One would think progressives, supposed champions of social justice, would be more eager than anyone to defend a historically oppressed group currently under attack. But apparently not when the victims are Jews.
