In the morning hours of Wednesday, December 4, Luigi Mangione murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson as he walked to the New York Hilton Midtown to speak at his company’s annual investors’ conference. This appalling premeditated murder, captured on surveillance footage for all to view, was met with equally disgusting reactions from the typical actors: journalists, […]
Sunday marked the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the end of a half-century of rule by the Assad family and the culmination of the country’s nearly 14-year-long civil war. Assad fled Damascus on Saturday evening after a coalition of rebel groups seized the capital in a lightning offensive that began in late November. […]
On the morning of June 29, 2023, the Supreme Court was the last thing on my mind. In fact, at that time, I couldn’t have cared less about what the Court did. A friend from school was about to come over for a week, and, like a true Chinese parent, my mom insisted I clean […]
For weeks, many on the political Left have painted Donald Trump’s October 27th rally at Madison Square Garden rally with dark strokes, comparing it to the notorious 1939 Bund rally – a gathering held at the Garden that supported the Nazi regime. A recent Washington Post column argued that the event “mirrored one in the […]
Most members of Congress, including former California Senator Kamala Harris, often draft legislation that serves as a signal to some of their constituents and donors, rather than as a genuine effort to pass meaningful laws. Kamala Harris introduced 132 bills and resolutions during her four-year tenure as a senator. However, many of her bills, including […]
On Tuesday, October 1, CBS hosted the Vice Presidential debate at CBS headquarters in New York City. I watched the debate on TV at Princeton, and what I saw impressed me. On nearly every issue, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) demonstrated command of the facts and dominated Governor Tim Walz (D-MN). On immigration, Vance correctly noted […]
During the Republican National Convention in July, Donald Trump selected Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate. Media outlets discussed Vance as a possibility leading up to the convention, so Trump’s decision was not a total surprise. However, the choice is a bit puzzling. It suggests that Trump may be overconfident in his chances […]
On May 23, I attended former President Donald Trump’s rally in the Bronx. It was my first time at a Trump event, and it felt historic – his first New York City event since 2016. It also enabled Trump to show off how the MAGA movement is drawing in demographics that GOP leaders have long […]
In the wake of Hamas’ barbaric terror attack on October 7, 2023, the conflict between Israel and Hamas has received much attention. Discussions in conservative circles surrounding the current war have produced a common contention: Israel is a beacon of democracy defending itself against terrorist actors and protecting its national sovereignty. Indeed, Israel has been […]
Dear Tories, On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants flooded across Israel’s borders, massacred entire families in their homes, raped women, and burned the bodies of adults and children alike. They also abducted innocent civilians—many of whom still remain imprisoned in tunnels beneath Gaza. On that dark October day, more Jews were slaughtered than in any […]
About Kafka’s great story, “A Hunger Artist,” Richard A. Posner observed, “The hunger artist is tormented by his inability to convince an indifferent world of his artistic integrity.” So, too, Princeton’s recent hunger artists’ professed anguish that the University had not endorsed their cause. Princeton’s hunger artists have decamped their recent performance protest on Cannon […]
Across the country, students are occupying university campuses and decrying their own schools. Chaos has unfolded at numerous universities. As authorities attempt to control the protest, criticism has mounted over perceived excessive force. The upcoming Democratic Party Convention in Chicago promises to be marked by radical demonstrations. The year was 1968. In 2024, we are […]
