November 2, 2025
Read The Full Story

Victor Davis Hanson draws parallels between the current left-wing violence aimed at derailing the Trump Administration’s policies and the bitter, deadly struggle over Kansas Territory before the Civil War. Then, as now, writes Hanson at American Greatness, Democrats and their allies used threats and blood to pursue a goal – making Kansas a slave state – that they couldn’t achieve via the ballot box. Then, it led to 600,000 deaths.

When the Waves Turn the Minutes to Hours

John R. Grove commemorates the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald with a moving meditation on Gordon Lightfoot’s song memorializing the disaster and its 29 forever-lost victims. Lightfoot’s poetry and melody in The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald not only hauntingly convey the tragedy’s essential elements but, Grove writes in Law & Liberty, open a window to the sublime.

A New Word for Our Age: Polycule

In The European Conservative, Jonathon Van Maren explores the case of a pink-haired German female pastor marrying four men from three countries and at least two different religions “in the eyes of God” outside Berlin’s St. Paul the Apostle Church. Writes Van Maren with formidable restraint: “It is a snapshot of cultural collapse.” The union is known as a “polycule” and, some suspect, is aimed at gradually normalizing polygamy.

Yes, We Are

Victor Davis Hanson in The Epoch Times answers his self-posed question whether Americans are better off since Donald Trump’s inauguration in January. In contrast to the litany of defeat and decline under Joe Biden – like the deadly, costly, bungled bug-out from Afghanistan – Hanson lists a veritable avalanche of Trumpian accomplishments, including regaining control over the southern border, surging energy exports, forging multiple peace agreements, presiding over robust economic growth and rolling back DEI/wokism.

Forget Everything I Said, or Backing Slowly out of the Echo-Chamber

Climate catastrophism suffered a Category 5 event with the recent confessional by Ted Nordhaus, among the world’s foremost prophets of doom, that he had it wrong all along. The models that forecast runaway global warming, Nordhaus writes in The Free Press, assumed simultaneously soaring populations, booming economies and flatlining technological improvement which, Nordhaus has belatedly recognized, simply can’t all occur at the same time.
