    September 11th and the Normalization of the Politics of Hate

    I will never forget the morning of September 11, 2001. I remember so many of the details of my day that day – I remember them so vividly that it feels more like yesterday than it does 21 years ago. Images, details and feelings etched deep into my memory. One of the most intense memories […]

    Only Oz Can Stop the Most Radical Senate Candidate in U.S. History

    The Left’s Obsession with ‘Conspiracy Theories’

    One of the single most bizarre products of the modern-day left is its insatiable appetite for conspiracy theories. They flatly refuse to debate policy anymore, choosing instead to baselessly accuse their political opponents legitimate policy concerns and conscription as being the fruit of the poison tree planted in some nefarious conspiracy theory. Indeed, there is […]
