How Politicized Classrooms Harm Kids and Ruin Our Schools and What We Can Do About It...

Two months before the 2016 presidential election, an anonymously published essay titled "The Flight 93 Election" urged Americans to "charge the cockpit" by casting their votes for Donald Trump. The author of that seminal piece, Michael Anton, has followed up that pivotal essay with a gripping analysis about the tactics of the left and the consequences to the country if it prevails.

Clearly the left has plans to release a series of books to hurt President Donald Trump's reelection chances. The most recent example is Bob Woodward's widely-cited "Rage" that has suddenly vanished off the radar after Trump's statements on the pandemic were shown to be a nothing-burger.

Few books published during 2020 are as timely and desperately needed as Jack Cashill's latest work: Unmasking Obama - The fight to tell the true story of Obama's Presidency.

We covered the success of Unplanned, a pro-life film that had an advertising campaign essentially deplatformed by Twitter just in time for its opening weekend.

Earlier this month, I noted that Victor Davis Hanson, fellow Californian and a military historian at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, had been targeted in social media by writers associated with The Bulwark. His crime? Apparently, it was that Hanson had the temerity to write what he considered to be an even-handed review of President Donald Trump's first two years in office entitled The Case for Trump.  The attack inspired me to purchase the book, and share my thoughts on it with Legal Insurrection.

I have a confession to make before reviewing the latest book by conservative icon and author Michael Savage: I am not a big fan.  There is no denying that Savage is exceptionally smart and deeply passionate about this country, the U.S. Constitution, and conservative principles. On his radio show, his vitriolic and pessimistic take on subjects differs from my normally optimistic, humor-oriented view of politics and current events. I normally don't stay tuned in for very long when I alight upon his radio show, as Savage's tone can be a bit too bitter for my personal taste. However, his latest book, Stop Mass Hysteria: America's Insanity from the Salem Witch Trials to the Trump Witch Hunt, is a smart, engaging, and timely look at angry mobs and their historic consequences.
