John Agresto in American Greatness illuminates the academic left’s attack not only on the great works of Western civilization – the “high” – but on the “ordinary” habits, ideas and institutions that enable countries to prosper, society to function, regular people to live their lives, and civilization itself to go on.

A Man Who’d Do Anything to Evade the Truth
Spiked’s Matt Ridley details Anthony Fauci’s “public-sector version of insider trading.” Subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate to “discuss” the origin of Covid-19, the longest-serving and highest-paid U.S. bureaucrat instead invoked the Fifth Amendment (protecting against self-incrimination) some 111 times. Strange; he’d been pardoned by President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, it’s clear Fauci lied to the American people about nearly everything – starting with Covid’s true origins in the Wuhan lab. Further, his bizarre diary (saved to a government computer) details his “nauseating narcissism and gobsmacking greed,” says Ridley, and shows he cared more about his own fame than about ailing Americans.
