To say the least, he was irritated. Frustrated with a capricious sovereign and forced (on principle) to take a life-altering stand, Thomas Jefferson’s quill scribbled furiously. The English crown, he fumed, could not expect a people to suffer such indignities. Oppressive taxation. Obstructed commerce. Second-class citizenship. It was enough. And so he wrote. With every careful word, there widened a...

One has to reach back to 1934 to find a reliably conservative majority of justices on the Supreme Court of the United States. With the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump has set in motion a conservative resurgence on the high court. History may be on the verge of repeating itself in more ways than one.

When the president’s party controls the Senate, as it does in 2020, the Senate majority is well within its historic rights in confirming a nominee. It has done so 17 times out of 19. When the opposition party controls the Senate, as...

New York Times Magazine staffer Nikole Hannah-Jones accused me once of rank jealousy. She said my criticism for her flawed 1619 Project stems from the fact that, unlike her, I do not “have good ideas and the talent to execute them.” Source: The 1619 Project is a fraud

George Washington was a slaveholder. For some Americans, this is reason enough to exclude our first president from the national pantheon.
