JOSEPH FARAH — What was all this shucking and jiving about for the last few weeks? President Donald Trump was about to be indicted. Then he wasn't. Then he was. What was going on in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office, I wonder. Who was he talking to besides his fairy godmother, George Soros?

HILLSDALE COLLEGE — We are at risk of losing a war today because too few of us know that we are engaged with an enemy, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), that means to destroy us. The forces of globalism that have dominated our government (until recently) and our media for the better part of half a century have blinded too many Americans to the threat we face. If we do not wake up to the danger soon, we will find ourselves helpless. [Adapted from a speech delivered September 29, 2020, at a Hillsdale College seminar.]... (more)

As a result, American corporations gave or pledged more than $83 billion to either BLM or BLM-related causes.... (more)
