In the current political climate, the topic of “women’s issues” makes daily headlines and is regularly featured as a priority on television and radio. But what about men? In the face of some alarming statistics with respect to male enrollments in college and male suicide rates, I was left wondering—why is this happening and what’s [...]

Having recently interviewed Stephen K. Bannon about his upcoming film, Occupy Unmasked, I found myself somewhat immersed in the literature of the Occupy movement. Years of working in education—as a teacher, Dean, and Student Adviser—instilled in me a heightened interest in academia, and I couldn’t help but be drawn to a column titled “Step 1: [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Today Victory Films released the trailer for The Undefeated, set to hit select theatres on July 15th. Featuring commentary from former Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton, Mark Levin, Tammy Bruce, Andrew Breitbart and others, the trailer features a “Daughter, Wife, Mother, Warrior” theme that is integral to one’s understanding of who Sarah Palin is, what she [...]

Sarah Palin’s “One Nation Tour” is well under way. Stops have included Independence Hall, Gettysburg, Mount Vernon, Fort McHenry, The National Archives, Ellis Island, and other locations. Many in the media have been in a tizzy because the details of Palin’s stops are known only to the Palin team, and she didn’t invite the media [...]

By the time I hit the age of twelve, I had decided that my grandfather was the smartest man in the world. No matter where we found ourselves on any Brooklyn afternoon, two things could always be counted on: me eating a slice of pizza on 5th Avenue and Poppy imparting lessons I’d never forget. [...]
