The Fall of the WNBA

The home of Uncommon Sense: Providing Clarity, Promoting Intelligence
The Fall of the WNBA
Welcome to the WMBA. No, that isn’t a typo. Let me explain. If the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) ultimately decides that biological males may qualify for its teams simply by pretending they are women, then perhaps intellectual honesty requires changing the name. The Women’s and Men’s Basketball Association (WMBA) has a nice ring to […]
The Strange Hypnotic Power of the Transgender Craze
I am going to begin with a premise. My premise is straightforward: it is biologically impossible for a man to become an actual woman or for a woman to become an actual man. Modern medicine can alter a person’s appearance through surgery and hormone therapy. It can change certain secondary sex characteristics. But it cannot […]
America’s 250th Birthday – and What Some Couldn’t Bring Themselves to Celebrate
July 4, 2026, marked an extraordinary milestone: the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States of America. For a quarter of a millennium, this nation has stood as history’s greatest experiment in ordered liberty. It has endured wars, depressions, assassinations, pandemics, social upheaval, and countless political storms. Yet through it all, the American […]
Whatever Happened to Normal?
I have spent a good deal of time over the years criticizing Leftism, not because I enjoy political combat for its own sake, but because I believe the modern Left increasingly finds itself at odds with many of the values that have historically allowed Western civilization to flourish. Before proceeding, let me define what I […]
When Politics Becomes a Religion
Some time ago, I came across a statement by one Molly McNearney in which she reportedly lamented that political differences had become so severe that she had effectively terminated relationships with some members of her own family. Who is Molly McNearney? She is the Executive Producer and co-head writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live. She is […]
The Oldest Hatred
For generations, anti-Semitism was treated as one of civilization’s great moral disgraces — the ancient prejudice that culminated in ghettos, pogroms, and ultimately the Holocaust. Yet today, Jew-hatred has returned in forms both familiar and newly fashionable, often disguised as moral sophistication or political activism. Since the October 7, 2023 Hamas atrocities against Israeli civilians, […]
Conspiracies, Covert Networks, and Shadow Alliances
There is an old pattern in human history that refuses to die. Every civilization eventually develops a growing suspicion that somewhere behind the visible machinery of politics, media, finance, and culture, there are smaller circles of influence operating quietly in the shadows. Sometimes those suspicions are paranoid fantasy. Sometimes they are rooted in very real […]
When Prevention Fails: The Cost of Leniency in a System Meant to Protect
There is a particular kind of tragedy that cuts deeper than most: the kind that never had to happen in the first place. Every homicide is devastating, but some carry an added, unbearable weight—the knowledge that the perpetrator had already demonstrated a clear capacity for violence and was nonetheless free to act again. These are […]
Who Do We Really Think is Incapable?
Let’s talk about something that has quietly become one of the most heated—and misunderstood—debates in our country: voter ID laws. On one side, many Republican lawmakers argue that requiring identification to vote is simply common sense. After all, we show ID to board a plane, drive a car, pick up prescriptions, or even buy certain […]
Abject Cruelty
Let me begin by disclosing something about myself. I do not like George Soros. I consider him a monster. I think he is evil. I think he is wicked. I think he has spent many millions of dollars funding projects and people that wish to harm my country. George Soros is an old man. At […]
