Anyone who has a naive belief in the power of higher education to instill morality has not studied the history of German universities in the Third Reich. In 1927 the French philosopher Julien Benda published La trahison des clercs—“The Treason of the Intellectuals”—which condemned the descent of European intellectuals into extreme nationalism and racism. By that […]

A federal grand jury in California returned a multi-count indictment against Hunter Biden late Thursday, charging the president’s son with multiple tax offenses.

The terror state and its various proxy militias—including Hamas—are obviously acting in concert. Why won’t the U.S. admit it? The Biden administration came into office with the pledge to take the U.S. off a “war footing” with Iran, which the incoming team said had characterized the term of its predecessor. “De-escalation,” as the administration called […]
