by Cort Kirkwood At the New American: What ABC News sponsored and what Americans saw last night was not a one-on-one debate. The network’s David Muir and Linsey Davis blatantly sided with Harris, “fact-checking” former President Donald Trump when he told the truth, while permitting Vice President Kamala Harris to spew one lie after another. And ABC’s post-debate “fact-check” published this...

By Wayne Allensworth If I had only one reason to vote for Trump-Vance in November, this would be enough: Kamala Harris voted against requiring doctors to render aid to babies born alive after a “botched” abortion. That alone tells us all we need to know about her and what her party has become. The “abortion van” outside the DNC only confirmed the ghoulishness of the ghastly, and, yes...

By Wayne Allensworth I recently finished reading J.D. Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. The takeaways from that reading include: Vance’s rejection of fatalistic hopelessness. Hopelessness is pervasive among Vance’s people, and many have fallen into drug addiction, which has spurred on the collapse of the family. Encouraged by grandparents who expended so much of their lives and energy raising...

By Wayne Allensworth By now, all of you have registered the public outrage over biological males boxing females in the Olympics. Social conservatives have expressed dismay over the pummeling the former have given the latter.

By Wayne Allensworth Ann Coulter, no fan of former President Donald Trump, says that she will nevertheless vote for him in November. What tipped the balance in his favor after Coulter said she had considered not voting at all? Trump’s choice of J.D. Vance as his running mate. If Trump had been true to past form and chosen Nicky Haley, Coulter would have sat this one out. But Vance is different...

By Wayne Allensworth In the summertime of my boyhood memories, time moved slower and each day was a discovery. The shadows were gobbled up quickly in the hazy, humid mornings. In those days, houses were around us, but at a bit of distance. In many cases, the yards were big and  lots of what you might call “natural areas” were within the view from our front porch, where we hand-cranked...

Theyfeatured The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show.The first was the first prime time TV show I remember liking. The second I eventually came to like even more. I found Newhart, who played psychologist Robert Hartley—knownuniversally on the show as “Bob”—to be instantly likable. I also found the weekly...

By Wayne Allensworth I’m trying to keep my head above water in the flood of information about recent events spurting out of mass media, including social media, and here are some thoughts that have crossed my mind: Judging by what the investigation into the Trump assassination attempt has come up with so far — that Thomas Matthew Crooks was a loner, was bullied at school, posted a creepy message...
