Salena Zito examines what she calls the "Conservative Populist" coalition that placed Donald Trump in office in 2016. It was not the black swan event many critics suggested it was.

Defender-in-Chief: Trump's Constitutional Battles
Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo is very comfortable around controversy, but voting for Donald Trump in 2016 was a step too far. Now he realizes he was wrong - that Trump campaigns like a populist, but governs like a constitutional conservative. One of America's best-known conservative constitutional scholars, Professor Yoo is the Emanuel Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, a Visiting Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Antifa's Revolt Against America
From coast to coast, a far-left revolutionary movement calling itself “antifa” has organized mass violence on the streets of major American cities. Despite its well-documented track record of extremism, antifa finds support on the mainstream left. Few reporters have dared to get close enough to expose this radical rabble of rioters. Andy Ngo, editor-at-large of The Post Millennial, has done so, enduring not only threats but repeated physical assaults, to shine a light on these thugs.

Liberties and Limitations in a Time of Crisis
It often feels like we are living through a never-ending series of national crises. Mr. Schiff's talk focuses on the constitutional basis of emergency powers, the California Emergency Services Act, and how the courts view emergency measures that infringe on property and contract rights.

COVID-19 Science, Policy and Lessons to be Learned
Many officials continue to pursue a COVID-19 mitigation policy of broad societal lockdown focusing on containing the spread of the disease at all costs, instead of the original objective of “flattening the curve” and preventing hospital overcrowding. Although well-intentioned, the lockdown was imposed without consideration of its consequences beyond those directly resulting from the pandemic. Dr. Atlas will relate how continuing these lockdown policies are yielding devastating ramifications far beyond the damage of the virus itself.

Why This Crisis is Like No Other
The COVID-19 crisis hit shockingly hard and fast, and has upended every aspect of our lives, not least our liberties. The result is a crisis like none we have experienced in our lifetimes. It has been compared to a war, albeit against an invisible enemy with an objective we haven't defined.

The Communist Takeover of the Democrat Party
Mr. Loudon’s remarkable investigative work has revealed that what is commonly regarded as mainstream political policy is in fact driven and guided by hidden subversive elements. The Democratic party’s consistent defunding of the US military, Obamacare, the Iran Nuclear Deal, normalization of relations with Cuba, Islamic refugee re-settlement, $15 minimum wage, fracking bans, pipeline shutdowns and the push for illegal alien amnesty are all consistent with far-left and Islamist agendas.

Open Borders, Inc.: Who Is Funding America's Destruction?
Until recently, a national consensus held that America should be in control of its border, and that the laws on the books should be applied fairly and dispassionately to determine who can enter the United States. No more. The modern Democratic Party seems to be all-in for open borders, and, until President Trump's insurgent candidacy of 2016 shocked the political world, Republicans were at best tepid in their defense of our borders. No country can survive if it doesn't control its own borders. This used to be considered common sense. But now, if you oppose open borders, you will surely be accused of racism if not worse. This change didn't happen in a vacuum. Powerful interests with substantial resources (and a penchant for secrecy) helped usher in a new age and new attitudes about immigration. Conservative super-star Michelle Malkin exposes these shadowy actors and reveals who is funding America's destruction.

The Midwest vs. Coastal Elites: a Family Squabble, or Civil War?
If you ever feel like the United States is splitting into two countries, you aren’t alone. Attitudes in the “Blue” states along the coasts and the “Red” states in the heartland are diverging. It’s as though we can’t even agree on basic facts any more. And the folks who call themselves “tolerant” seem to get less tolerant of disagreement every day. Puzzled? Frustrated? Aggravated? Join the club! (Literally - we’re always looking for new members!) Nationally syndicated pundit James Lileks shares his perspective on the split between the Midwest and the Coastal elites.
