When he was hired at Cambridge University in March 2023 as the youngest (and black) professor of Sociology of Education, it was the height of global wokeness. He was greeted with adoring media segment after segment in British media, and even Good Morning America did a profile. Arday’s personal life story of struggles and overcoming them was almost too good, because for the most part, it was.]]>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen L.

Well, as a former Maricopa County prosecutor and the Maricopa County Elections attorney, let me explain.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Rachel Alexander]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/rachelalexander/2026/08/24/why-there-arent-more-prosecutions-n2681747<![CDATA[Normal is harder to find every day.]]>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Alan Joseph Bauer]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/alanjosephbauer/2026/08/24/when-normal-becomes-strange-n2681744<![CDATA[Perhaps we should shut down womanhood until we find out just what the hell is going on here. The last couple of weeks have been more insane than usual, and everything has been insane for the last couple of decades, but this insanity has been mostly about the crazy things that crazy women do. And most of the ladies involved are women of pallor from the middle to upper-middle class. From bizarre social media imbroglios, like a mom demanding all the other moms stop sending Oreos to school because her kid isn’t allowed to have Oreos so no kid can have Oreos, to the hideous and morally bankrupt embrace of a psychotic killer&nbsp;who strangled her three little kids, there’s clearly something wrong in Chicksville. And it’s about time we say so.]]>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Kurt Schlichter]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2026/08/24/what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-women-n2681742<![CDATA[In a previous report, I commented on Deborah Lipstadt’s book "Denying the Holocaust".

Well, bear with me, please. We can recall the maxim of Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-Tung alluding to the "long slow march" towards communism. We know that this insidious and murderous ideology was first introduced to the world by one Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their book, "The Communist Manifesto." Here in America, communists introduced themselves into our country with the clever marketing rebranding of "progressive." They at one point even went so far as to abscond with the misappropriated label of "liberals." Of course, the Father of Classical Liberalism, John Locke, would be utterly appalled to know that Marxists had kidnapped his philosophy — well, just the title, but none of his principles. Marxists believe that they should have complete power, control, and domination of the life, liberty, and property of the individual. As a matter of fact, they have vehement disregard and disdain for the individual, as Mamdani said, "We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."]]>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Allen West]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/allenwest/2026/08/24/18-years-ago-n2681695<![CDATA[I watched the video from outside Barclays Center on Saturday more than once because I wanted to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing.]]>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 14:30:11 -0400<![CDATA[Kevin McCullough]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/kevinmccullough/2026/08/23/girls-just-wanted-a-locker-room-n2681739<![CDATA[For years, Americans have been told that concerns about noncitizens voting are a myth, a right-wing talking point unworthy of serious attention. However, California’s own Secretary of State and Attorney General have proven otherwise, not by admitting the state has no idea whether, or how often, it’s even happening, but because the state isn’t bothering to track it.]]>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:05:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jordan Sekulow]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/jordan-sekulow/2026/08/23/california-election-scandal-uncovered-by-aclj-n2681689<![CDATA[As a charge, “racism” is completely irrelevant in 2026. “Wolf” has been cried so many times that even if it were a wolf crying it, no one would believe it or care. I should say “almost no one.” Democrats would still try to make something out of it, and Al Sharpton and Ben Crump would come to perform a little b******t two-step for the cameras and the checks. But otherwise, no one would care because, well, it is not racist to notice things.]]>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Derek Hunter]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2026/08/23/it-is-not-racist-to-notice-things-its-actually-racist-to-pretend-you-dont-n2681734<![CDATA[“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” —Matthew 22:21]]>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Robert Orlando]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/robertorlando/2026/08/23/ronald-reagan-and-where-the-christian-right-went-wrong-n2681732<![CDATA[David Morens spent nearly two decades as Anthony Fauci's most trusted adviser at NIAID. Last Tuesday, in a federal courtroom in Greenbelt, Maryland, he stood up and told a judge he'd conspired to defraud the United States government. He's facing up to five years in prison, with sentencing set for November 12. The confession came a little over five years after the conduct itself. It arrived roughly 19 months after Joe Biden signed the pardon that made sure his old boss never had to answer for any of it.]]>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jay Rogers]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/jay-rogers/2026/08/23/morens-pleaded-guilty-fauci-already-cashed-his-get-out-of-jail-free-card-n2681730<![CDATA[Author's Note: All previous volumes of this series are available&nbsp;here. The first 56 volumes are compiled in the book&nbsp;"Bible Study For Those Who Don't Read The Bible." "Part Two," featuring volumes 57-113,&nbsp;was published in December 2022.]]>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Myra Kahn Adams]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/myrakahnadams/2026/08/23/a-quick-bible-study-vol-334-what-the-old-testament-says-about-earthquakes-n2681694<![CDATA[Posted on X by Politics and Poll Tracker:]]>Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Mark Lewis]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/marklewis/2026/08/23/is-there-any-evil-into-which-democrats-will-not-descend-n2681664Sun, 23 Aug 2026 00:01:00 -0400<![CDATA[Heartlander News]]>https://townhall.com/columnists/heartlander-news/2026/08/23/with-midterms-looming-gops-christian-base-shrinking-as-socialist-insurgency-roils-democratic-party-n2681605<![CDATA[Democrats are turning the phrase ‘Big Tent’ into a throwaway talking point as they try to justify the growing ranks of declared socialists within their party.
