By Jarrett Stepman ~ Arguing for keeping “presentism” out of history seems like a straightforward argument from an acknowledged history scholar, right? Wrong. Not these days. The president of the American Historical Association, James H. Sweet, published an essay last week arguing that scholars should bar “presentism” from history. Sweet’s column in the American Historical […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ Of all the institutions that have become radicalized in the last couple of years, the realm of medicine is perhaps the most disturbing.

By Jarrett Stepman ~ The border has come to northern, blue cities—and Democrats aren’t handling it well. July’s border numbers are in, and the Biden administration again has set an all-time record for unlawful crossings, surpassing 2021’s historic numbers. Most legacy and corporate media dodged this historic crisis, which began almost immediately under President Joe […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ Troubled times may be ahead for the marriage between corporate America and the left.

By Jarrett Stepman ~ “Other than using firearms for sport shooting and hunting, there is no reason anyone in Canada should need guns in their everyday lives.” That’s what Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a press conference Monday when announcing a proposed law that would ban the sale of handguns in his country. […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ If one was to create a test to evaluate how corporate America treats freedom of speech and religious liberty, how well do you think they would do? A pair of organizations just released such a test and, perhaps to no one’s surprise, the corporations didn’t do well. If assigned by letter […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ The Biden administration didn’t create a Ministry of Truth. We don’t have governmental ministries here in the United States. That’s a British thing. We have departments and boards. The Biden administration announced on Wednesday that it’s putting a “pause” on its new Disinformation Governance Board. The new agency, announced in April, […]
By Jarrett Stepman ~ What we are witnessing in Los Angeles is a breakdown of civilization, all in the name of so-called social justice.

By Jarrett Stepman ~ The political aftermath of George Floyd’s death produced a surge in murders of black Americans, but it wasn’t at the hands of the police.

By Jarrett Stepman ~ America’s most powerful, elite institutions now cooperate to misinform the public and suppress dissent.
