Today the conservative movement mourns the loss of a man who was fearless in his defense of the Tea Party, fearless in his critique of mainstream media deceit, fearless in his defense of Sarah Palin, and fearless in his passion for exposing left-wing hypocrisy wherever he encountered it. Founder of Breitbart.com, Big Government, Big Hollywood, [...]

I spent last Friday and Saturday in DC at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. It was a blast. I spent quite a bit of time at the AMAC booth, did some fun radio and online spots, listened to a few fabulous speeches, introduced a screening of The Undefeated, and got to meet many wonderful [...]

I remember the first time music changed the way I saw the world. I was sixteen years old and had just watched someone I’d known almost all of my life transform before my eyes in the worst possible way. She was unrecognizable, unreachable, and destined for a path where loyalty, honesty, and everything I valued [...]

Well, folks, it’s that time of year again. Trees are being trimmed, carols are being sung, children are excitedly awaiting Santa, and I’m avoiding the kitchen so as not to turn a delicious meal into something indigestible. In the spirit of all things festive, I bring you my “Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Liberals”: 5. [...]

“The system is so broken and I don’t see anyone who I think will actually fix it,” a retired friend of the family said to me this past weekend. “I’m staying out of it this election season.” I have heard that sentiment expressed more times than I can count these past few months. Activists who [...]

I can’t seem to turn on the television these days without hearing some pundit, “expert,” former adviser to whomever, or analyst insist that it’s too late for potential 2012ers to enter the presidential race—or that they’re harming the party with their indecision. You know what’s harming the party? Pundits who have elected themselves 2012 timetable [...]

I remember the first time I really understood the value of my mother’s advice. I was thirteen years old, standing in the hallway of my school, about to give a class presentation before a teacher who wasn’t all that fond of me. I had politely declined that particular teacher’s invite to join a school club [...]

I have never been a liberal. In fact, my parents and I often joke that I popped out of the womb as a Reagan conservative. As a result, I don’t have a fascinating liberal-turned-conservative convert story to share with you. I also can’t tell you what it’s like to be inside the head of a [...]

Last week I attended a cocktail party on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. It’s an unfortunate part of life every now and then for this prefer-a-basketball-game-and-soft-pretzel New Yorker. With that being said, any opportunity to mingle with members of New York City’s left-wing elite serves to provide both a wealth of amusement and—quite often—column-worthy entertainment. This [...]

On Tuesday I attended the premiere of Stephen Bannon’s “The Undefeated” in Pella, Iowa. I had provided introductory comments before a prior screening of the film in New York City, and had seen a rough cut a few weeks before that. The final product is outstanding. And my experience in Iowa left me with several [...]
