The Reverend W.M. Norment was over 90 years old when he recalled how, at Andrew Jackson’s funeral, the late president’s beloved parrot “got excited and commenced swearing so loud and long as to disturb the people and had to be carried from the house.” Poll, the parrot in question, lacked the subtlety of tact required […] The post Language Without Mind appeared first on TomKlingenstein.com.| TomKlingenstein.com
For parents of school-age kids, the pandemic’s disruption to their children’s lives is unforgettable. Continued lockdowns. The BLM cudgel. LGBT duplicity. Rock-bottom performance. Vaccine mandates. And with remote learning, parents had a front-row seat to their children’s schooling and didn’t like what they saw.

“DEI is dead, right?”“That’s what they want you to think.” These words I exchanged recently with a financial professional pinpoint where America stands today: in the thick of a battle over whether wokeism will (or can) finally perish.

President Trump just announced that he is designating Antifa a “major terrorist organization.” As Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has said, “If you want to know about Antifa, follow @MrAndyNgo.” Who is Mr. Andy Ngo? He’s an American hero. We’ll need a lot more like him to make it through this storm. Here’s a bit […] The post Andy Ngo, American Patriot appeared first on TomKlingenstein.com.| TomKlingenstein.com

The planet’s oldest and shortest written constitution, still in force, was signed on Wednesday — 237 years ago. The U.S. Constitution, formally adopted in 1789, sits at about 4,400 words for its original seven articles. The 27 amendments to the original Constitution add only another 3,000 words. The English text of the EU Constitution, by contrast, […] The post Does the Constitution Still Matter? appeared first on TomKlingenstein.com.| TomKlingenstein.com
After enduring years of violent threats from the Left and even getting tagged on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hate Map,” Charlie Kirk was murdered in public last Wednesday. The culprit was a radicalized left-wing fanatic who scrawled “anti-fascist” far-left messages on the bullet casings. But not even 24 hours after Charlie’s assassination, social media […] The post It’s Not a “Both Sides” Problem appeared first on TomKlingenstein.com.| TomKlingenstein.com
