Green Day is gonna Green Day. The mostly irrelevant band that tries to maintain an edgy reputation welcomed 2024 by appearing on ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Green Day’s big hit, “American Idiot” was performed, as usual, but there was a twist this time. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, who […]
The Israel-Hamas conflict has revealed a lot about the battle lines in the war over Western Culture.

Such a question is worth asking and indeed answering but can only be addressed if we have a clear understanding of what […]
As President, Joe Biden has been setting one record after another, although none of them are the sort of accomplishments people would typically brag about. He has shattered records for illegal immigration into our country, drug overdose deaths, and homelessness. But now he has another ribbon to add to his collection. Most of you are […]
Leave it to the Republicans to split voters instead of trying to bring them together. In this case it is one night that holds one GOP debate and two individual events on the calendar in Iowa. On January 10, just 5 days before the Iowa caucuses, CNN will hold a debate for the Republican primary […]
