Why win votes when you can engage in lawfare? Mainstream parties could have responded in one of two ways to the populist wave that began to sweep through developed nations on both sides of the Atlantic in the mid-2010s.

Why would Islamist Jihadists and leftwing progressives make common cause concerning Israel and the Jews? The answer is: why not?

There is a thread running through progressive ideology that explains a lot about the state of our country and the world: the Left doesn’t like laws enforced or people punished for doing wrong. Take the U.S. southern border, where we’re seeing record numbers of illegal aliens “encountered,” often with 5,000 a day just let go into the […]
