The Plot to Push Parents Out of Education
Chances are, you’ve already heard about the 1619 Project. If not, a brief refresher… Created by Nikole Hannah-Jones, an activist and New York Times columnist, the project is a series of essays aiming to reframe America through the lens of race. With the help of the media and academic elite, it is a concerted effort […]
Blame the Fed—Not Capitalism—For Your Grocery Bill
On this day in 1913, the Federal Reserve Act was signed, creating the nation’s third central bank. In the 108 years since, it has successfully enriched the powerful and well-connected and stolen from the rest of us by manipulating the Dollar. This week, millions of Americans are dealing with the most expensive Christmas of their […]
It’s Doomsday for the Unvaccinated, According to the White House
Late last week, the White House hosted a press briefing with President Biden and someone named Jeff Zients, whose title is, rather amusingly, “White House COVID Response Coordinator.” The briefing was everything you would expect from the current administration—that is, despairing, humorless, and utterly detached from reality. Biden made his feelings known (at least, as […]
Elon Musk Schools “Senator Karen” on Taxing the Rich
If you haven’t heard, Elon Musk has just been named Time Magazine’s 2021 person of the year. While I’m admittedly grumpy about media accolades like “person of the year”—recent recipients including Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, “Ebola Fighters,” and Greta Thunburg—It’s a breath of fresh air to see mainstream applause for someone who’s actually contributed something of […]
Highlights Magazine and Kid-Masking Propaganda
Does the name Joseph Goebbels ring a bell to you? If not, here’s a brief history refresher: Goebbels was Reichminister of “Public Enlightenment and Propaganda” for Germany from 1933 through 1945. His job was to get ordinary Germans people on board with the horrors of the Nazi party, and he was successful. As you might […]
Parents are Terrorists (At Least, According to the FBI…)
Have you attended any testy school board meetings in the last few months? If so, the FBI may have its eyes on you, according to new whistleblower documents attained by Congress this week. According to a memo sent to FBI personnel, the agency created a digital system to track parents that could be “threats” to local school […]
Did Joe Biden Watch a Tuttle Twins Cartoon?
It would appear that Joe Biden has been reading The Tuttle Twins and the Miraculous Pencil… If not our version, perhaps the original essay that inspired it: I, Pencil by Leonard Read. Or maybe he just caught Tuesday night’s premiere of the 3rd Tuttle Twins Cartoon episode, which happened to discuss how pencils are made… […]
The Parents’ Revolution Flips Virginia
It’s a wonderful week to be a fed-up parent. In a few states, yesterday was election day. And in Virginia, a notoriously purple state whose elections tend to foreshadow national political changes, we saw something remarkable: a Republican gubernatorial candidate gained ground in the suburbs. Not only that, but Glenn Younkin flipped a blue state […]
How to Raise a “Woke Baby”
Do you dream of rearing your toddler into an antiracist, feminist, leftist activist? If so, you’re in luck: it’s never been easier. The shelves of pretty much every major book retailer in the country are packed with baby books to help you get the job done. Start your child’s woke journey by picking up a […]
Empty Shelves and Atlas Shrugged
For the past two years, the American government has spent most of its energy (and a lot of your money) convincing us that leaving our homes is a heinous act of selfishness. And between the press conference fear-mongering, each new iteration of “fifteen days to slow the spread,” extended school shutdowns, and threats to take away Christmas […]
