The Worst Countries for Women (Afghanistan Isn't on the List)
Concern-trolling over the dismal plight of women in Afghanistan is powerfully appealing to liberals who look for reasons for the United States to maintain a military presence there. If and when the Taliban return to power, the warmongers argue, the bad old days of stonings, burqas and girls banned from school will come back.

Burning a Police Station Led to Justice
As people of good will celebrate or merely breathe a sigh of relief in response to the conviction of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the videotaped torture and murder of George Floyd, it is worth noting that this victory would never likely not have occurred had it not been for a spectacular act of property destruction.

Biden’s Left Feint
If you don’t dig deep Joe Biden appears to be governing as the most liberal president since LBJ. But conservatives needn’t worry. Biden is no progressive in centrist’s clothing.

Afghanistan Under the Taliban: It Won't Be Like Last Time
We’ve been in Afghanistan 20 years, Joe Biden’s generals told him. All we need is a little more time. The president overruled them, ordering a complete withdrawal of American troops by September 11th.

My Predictions For Biden's Probably-Truncated Presidency

Demented Thinking About Joe Biden
The president is suffering from dementia. I’m a cartoonist and a writer and I am most assuredly not a gerontologist. I did not go to medical school. If I am not an expert in aging and cognitive decline, how do I know Biden has dementia?

I Am a Victim of Republican 'Cancel Culture'
The debate over “cancel culture” centres around how Democratic Party, “woke” activists and politically-correct “social justice warriors” expel people from social acceptability or force them into joblessness because something they said or did provoked an online mob.

There Are More Socialists Than Democrats or Republicans - We Should Act Like It

Joe Biden Doesn't Need More Time. He Needs Progressives to Demand an Ambitious Agenda
“Give Joe Biden time.” “He just got there.” “Trump left him a hell of a mess. It’s unreasonable to expect him to turn things around in a month or two.” “Now is not the time to criticize him or the Democrats. When would be a good time? I don’t know, but certainly not now. Later.”

Biden Offers Moderate Solutions to Radical Problems
