First things first: The most important thing you can read this week, if you are an American concerned with the rule of law, is Fox News contributor Andrew McCarthy’s essay, “How Judge Merchan Is Orchestrating Trump’s Conviction.” What McCarthy chronicles is the absolutely shocking attempt by trial judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to secure, by any …

Americans are watching in disgust as chaos spreads at college campuses across our country. Jewish students and faculty fear for their safety as antisemitism goes unchecked, and the rule of law is abandoned by morally bankrupt university leaders taking their lead from President Joe Biden. Enough is enough. It is time to restore law, order, and moral decency to Columbia …

Religious believers are under a vicious attack from partisan government forces determined to shut them out of the American health care system for good. Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently struck yet another blow to conscientious Americans when it amended rules pertaining toSection 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to require people of faith to fund elective …

The problem with unaddressed crises is that they tend to metastasize. New crises develop within the chaos of the former, and the vicious cycle continues.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Theater of the Absurd entered its third week, still without any evidence of crimes committed by the accused. Playwright Samuel Beckett would be proud.The Trump hush money trial is like “Waiting for Godot” —a chaotic and nonsensical plot of absurdist fiction.The titular Godot, of course, never arrives.It is an apt metaphor for Bragg’s case against …

At the end of “Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 character is lowered into the molten metaltoprevent his processing chip from falling into the wrong hands. As the Terminator goes under, he gives the iconic thumbs up. The Terminator and other fake robots andAIs should stay in that molten pit and out oftoday’spublicpolicydiscussions aboutAI.

Editor’s note: The following commentary first appeared on christopherrufo.com. The pro-Palestinian encampment drama could prove a disaster for the Left. Let me explain why, and how the Right can exploit it. Most Americans do not understand the Israel-Hamas conflict or how it relates to the United States, but for good reason, most support Israel over Hamas. In this context, left-wing …
