In August 1973, my girlfriend (and future wife!) wanted to visit some friends in Maine, so we drove up there from New York. She loved all this healthy air and the break from living in a city. Me, I was…less enthusiastic about a week or so of rural life, but damned if I was going […]

Recommended by R> Members And everyone was saying, “It’s a conversation.” But it is not a conversation. It’s a one-sided….belief? And there was no room for discussion. It was just arguments; trolling; bullying. Where was this stated? Can you guess what it was about? A political discussion board? Youtube comments? r/pol ? More

MoreHi Amy, I’m a volunteer with New Conversation Initiative. We want to talk to people from all walks of life to figure out how we repair the divide in our country. What issues do you think divide us the most?
Do the words spoken need to be actual facts to convey truth? Or can true ideas be expressed in allegory, fiction, and figurative language? Does it have to be literal to be true? More

Let’s just take a moment to recap the events of Black History Month, thus far: -Jussie Smollet manufactured a hate crime, complete with a noose, paid actors, bleach, someone yelling “This is MAGA country”, and a faked hate letter to kick it all off weeks prior. Victimhood will get sympathy in this country. In Smollet’s […]

The DNC is forcing their candidates to sign a binding document stating that they will not decide to run as a 3rd party candidate should they lose in the primary. Obviously, those who lose in the Democrat primary would be a very strong candidate for the Socialist and/or Communist parties. This got me thinking. In […]

Lara Logan’s outspoken comments in recent days regarding the biased media and the death of journalism came and went quicker than a lightning bolt. Yet this flash of light lingered long enough to spark a fire. Her comments were read across conservative radio, highlighted in the Washington Examiner, and talked about on Fox News. When I heard that she spoke out, claiming to commit journalistic suicide, my ears perked up. She called the left-wing media propagandists.
“Former CBS News foreign correspondent Lara Logan said, “responsibility for fake news” begins with journalists as she berated the “liberal” media in a recent interview. “The media everywhere is mostly liberal,” Logan said during a podcast with retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland on Friday. Logan, who said the interview was “professional suicide for me,” also blamed the media for not pursuing objectivity anymore, arguing journalists have evolved into “political activists.

These days wearing a poncho to the wrong halloween party can get your life ruined on Twitter due to the claim of cultural appropriation.

Recommended by R> Members Steven Crowder’s show went to a clinic in Denver, Colorado to expose how easy it is to obtain a late-term abortion and the lie that only women in “duress” get late-term abortions (such as, a risk to the mother’s life or fetal abnormalities). Well, we all know that is a lie, and this video exposes that.
It’s not a graphic video, but I will pray that Patient X changed her mind and decided not to get the abortion. I will ask that you do the same.

Art Tavana is a conservative, libertarian columnist at Playboy and contributor at National Review. An Armenian refugee from Iran, Art talks about how Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties indoctrinated him as a conservative early in life and why being a conservative writing for Playboy is only okay because he’s a person of color and not a white MAGA bro. He and Bridget discuss the strange fad of corporations caving to the mob and apologizing every time someone gets “offended”, his perspective on gratitude as an immigrant living in America, the freedom of having nothing to lose, and why they both hate being branded as activists. The conversation ranges from mourning the death of contrarians, to dissecting why populism needs to go, to predicting that our totalitarian leader is going to come from the left, to why you shouldn’t ever join a group to solve your problems. Finally, don’t miss Art’s explanation of why Atlas Shrugged is the most feminist thing he’s ever read.

Thursday morning in Hanover, New Hampshire, the finest teacher I have ever known will be laid to rest.
Jeffrey Hart, who died Sunday at 88, taught at Dartmouth for thirty years. By 1975, when I matriculated at the College, he had become a campus celebrity, one of the professors every student learned about as a freshman. In a town in which the faculty all seemed to own Volvos, Jeff would drive to work in a limousine, a gift from his friend, William F. Buckley, Jr., pulling up each morning to Sanborn House, the home of the English Department, where he would occupy not one parking space but two. At football games, Jeff would appear in a raccoon coat. If you saw him on campus—Jeff loved to stroll down to the athletic fields to watch the tennis team practice—he would invariably be smoking an elaborate pipe. He owned a churchwarden a foot-and-a-half long and meerschaum that looked as though it had belonged to Sherlock Holmes.
