Tancredo: Charlottesville Riot Reveals Perils of Extreme Tribalism and Politicized Media Reporting

I was once asked to speak to a Hispanic organization in Denver and share the stage with the representative of Congresswoman Diana DeGette, who is as liberal. I am conservative.

McCain, Romney, and Rubio Join the Republicans for Antifa Club

As James Bond’s nemesis Auric Goldfinger famously observed, “Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence.

The Attack on ‘Whataboutism’ Is a Defense of Hypocrisy

President Donald Trump’s opponents have learned a new word: “whataboutism.” Democrats and NeverTrump Republicans alike have embraced the term as a weapon against anyone who objects to the double standards that are routinely applied by Trump’s critics in the mainstream media.

HuffPo Contributor Outed as Leader of Charlottesville Doxing Campaign

A Berkeley, California, hot dog stand fired an employee in response to an online campaign to identify and maliciously publish private information – or “dox” – participants in Saturday’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The crowdsourcing effort to “name and shame,” however, has already misstepped, incorrectly identifying an Arkansas professor 1,100 miles away from the men carrying torches as a racist.
