By Wayne Allensworth A few years ago, researchers at something called the Greater Houston Partnership (GHP) bragged–because they thought this was a good thing–that my old hometown was now a “global city,” something much more like the international hubs in New York, Paris, and Los Angeles.

A popular singer-songwriter I’ve never heard of, Macy Gray, has written an op-ed saying it’s time to replace the American flag. She trots out the now standard leftist tropes about the flag’s not representing all Americans, since it is part of a shameful, irredeemably racist past, and she wants a new flag that is not “divisive” and that all Americans can be proud of...

To be clear, wall construction remains paused to extent permitted by law. Per DHS, we’ve started critical work to repair the Rio Grande Valley’s flood levee, which was excavated to make way for border wall. This remediation work will not involve expanding border...
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the sainted man running the United States, oversees the agency that sent your tax dollars to the lab in Wuhan, China, that genetically engineered bat viruses to infect human beings. Four years ago, the Chinese military discussed weaponizing bat viruses. Science writer and author Nicholas Wade weighs in on the origins of #COVID19 and asks whether people or nature sparked the...
By Wayne Allensworth The old America many of us remember fondly has died of a theory — the theory of radical egalitarianism manifested since the 1960’s as the “blank slate” view of human nature.
