In our modern age, Jesus has often been portrayed as weak, a doormat who called his followers to lose at every turn, but nothing could be further from the truth.

As Trump attempts to strip the woke DEI regime out of the American government, many conservatives have celebrated the return of meritocracy as the default system for selecting and elevating people into places of authority.

The political thinker Gaetano Mosca is best known as one of the founders of elite theory, but a common misconception is that he believed the powerful could do whatever they want.

People of every generation love to give the kids who come after them a hard time.

Identity, spirituality, family, and economics have shift…

Every January, I collect the best or most important books I read the previous year and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. They do not need to be books written in 2024 — in fact, many are hundreds or even thousands of years old — just books that I read or reread last year. From philosophy to political science to sociology, these are the nine bo…

As soon as the shocking video of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassination on a New York City street went public, the Left began turning the murderer into a folk hero.

The only thing more embarrassing than electing a man pretending to be a woman to the U.S. House of Representatives is the clumsy and timid response by Republicans. Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep.
