The Graveyard of Destructive Ideas
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness How do destructive ideas and bouts of collective madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo?

Women Are 50% of the Population So Why Are We Afraid To Defend Women’s Sports? | Kim Jones
Sports is the “public arena of the difference of the sexes,” so it’s crucial “to assert biological reality,” especially in an era where biological men have been allowed to compete in women’s sports.

Why Exactly Did They Destroy the Border?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Why would any president destroy the U.S. southern border?
