Democrats are finally noticing our society is decaying, but they are almost uniformly unwilling to admit that the culture they’ve championed has anything to do with it.

Notre Dame professor Patrick Deneen has a new book, Regime Change: Toward a Postliberal Future, that asks a lot of important questions about America’s future and provides some unsatisfying answers.

One of the obvious lessons from the tide of the war in Ukraine is that globalist economics has defeated globalist interventionism.

June 24th is the feast day marking the birth of John the Baptist, and it is also the anniversary of the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v.
