For years, American corporations have given a wink-and-nod to Chinaโ€™s abhorrent human rights violations. They claim to support womenโ€™s rights by boycotting states in the U.S. that have pro-life laws, but say nothing about Chinaโ€™s one-child policy which forces Chinese women to have abortions (especially abortions of female babies). Even if they donโ€™t care about the aborted babies, what about their claims that itโ€™s a womanโ€™s right to choose? Hypocrites. These woke corporations claim to support workersโ€™ rights, some even strongly support unions โ€” unless the workers are in China. They always support claims that America is racist โ€” but…

The left has mastered many clever tactics to defeat the right in recent years, not based on substantive arguments but rather on tricking people. One is straight out of Saul Alinskyโ€™s โ€œRules for Radicalsโ€ and the right is falling into the trap. Rule No. 5 states, โ€œRidicule is manโ€™s most potent weapon.โ€ It basically consists of using 4th grader insults to coerce people into a herd attack mentality. They mastered it with former President Donald Trump, โ€œorange man bad.โ€ It didnโ€™t used to be that way. Although โ€œRules for Radicalsโ€ came out in 1972, it didnโ€™t achieve the level of…
