The real reason Americans are fleeing California
Gavin Newsom's woke policies are hurting children's education. Is it any wonder their parents are leaving?
Challenging the No-Fault Divorce Regime
Divorce laws both create and reflect a reality about marriage. When divorce is difficult or impossible to secure, marriage is thought of as an enduring, tighter community, and small irritants can be forgotten or forgiven. When divorce is easy to secure, partners in a marriage tend to think of themselves as individuals first before marriage partners, and marriages can dissolve easily...

The Author of the ‘Coup Memos’ Sticks to His Story
It’s worth taking a moment to check in on one of Trump's chief accomplices in the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election: constitutional law scholar and Claremont Institute stalwart John C. Eastman, author of the notorious “coup memos.”
Conservatives Fight Secretive Biden Voting Order as ‘Bidenbucks’ — Federal ‘Zuckbucks’ on Steroids
GOP lawmakers and other conservative critics are working to expose and fight a secretive executive order by President Biden to expand voter participation in elections, which they suspect has become a powerful government-wide complement to private left-wing election financing that could tip the 2024 campaign illegally and unfairly in Democrats’ favor...

Like most Americans, if you spend little time following the mainstream media’s drift into obscurantism and paranoia, motivated by increasing irrelevance in the social media age, you’d write something like Krista Bontrager, a Conservative Christian writer, saying, “the film has now become entangled in another weird controversy.” And, like many evangelicals who have begun retreating from the political unraveling of our times and, faced with an increasingly immoral and “weird” hostility towards Christianity, you would make what appears to be a neutral and nuanced conclusion, but, nonetheless, one still supportive of that immoral and “weird” hostility. In short, you would not promote the film until further notice...

The Next President Jackson? A Harvard Head Case
The headlines may claim that “affirmative action is gone,” but the reality is that the effects of the recent Harvard and University of North Carolina Supreme Court case will be minimal on higher education. The scandal of racial and ethnic preferences (not to mention egregious preferences for women) will continue through subtle means. While the Court’s 6-3 majority opinion conceded these dodges of justice, the Chief Justice’s clever argument dropped the weight of the Constitution on Harvard, daring it (and other super-select schools) to separate themselves from their partners in crime among the state universities...
