Iran's strategy may be less about negotiating with President Donald Trump and more about delaying, dragging out the conflict and waiting for the Democratic Socialists to take power in Congress. But while the Left claims Trump is running out of time, the reality on the ground suggests Iran is the one being squeezed, with its […]

A faction of the political right, supported by the think tank American Compass that is funded by the leftist Hewlett Foundation, claims that organized labor has a “conservative heart” and should be empowered to dominate American life in a manner not seen since the 1940s or 1950s. But is that true? Just about all available […]

Back early from vacation, Erick pulls back the curtain on what Republican pollsters, focus groupers, strategists, donors, and corporate money men are all telling him: James Talarico is leading Ken Paxton in Texas right now, and the fortune the GOP must spend to rescue Paxton could cost them Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Michigan, where […]

Erick argues the United States is losing to Iran by choice, driven by an isolationist wing embedded around President Trump and Vice President JD Vance that wants a “tripartite” world carved up with Russia and China, even as war-torn Ukraine outbuilds all of NATO with 5 million drones a year while America cannot manufacture a […]

Back from Lake Burton, Erick breaks down Marco Rubio's Fox News interview on the funded, organized protest network tied to Cuba, China, Neville Roy Singham, and a Cox Enterprises heir, then makes the grown-up case that the left is both astroturf and real grassroots, just as the Tea Party was in 2010. He hammers Ohio's […]

Back from vacation, Erick sounds the alarm on a confirmed Wall Street Journal story about a Trump fundraiser pressing corporations like Apple for cash and doling out tariff carve-outs, warning his own side is now perceived like the Biden crime family while wages slip behind inflation and independents consider staying home in November.

The hiatus for the rebooted 3WHH is over! We got the band back together, and to further paraphrase the political philosophy of the Ellwood brothers: It's 70 minutes to the end of this podcast, we've got a full glass of whisky, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Just like Anthony […]

Today on Chicks on the Right: President Trump delivers a major update on the Israel-Gaza peace deal—but overseas, chaos is erupting as migrants pour into Spain, “Allahu Akbar” rings through the streets, and a socialist mayor promises amnesty.

Glenn sits down with political scientist Steven Teles of Johns Hopkins to discuss one of higher education's most stubborn problems: ideological homogeneity.

Henry's here to shepherd us through the state's long list of battleground congressional districts. And, of course, he […]

Radical Islam and the socialist left have formed an unlikely political alliance despite their profound ideological differences. Both movements share a deep hostility toward Western civilization, capitalism, Israel, and liberal democracy, creating a coalition driven by common enemies rather than common beliefs. The history and core principles of Islam, Marxism, socialism, and communism reveal where […]

America is on track to become a “net mortality society,” where deaths outnumber births. As births plummet to almost 25% below replacement, the United States faces a future with a shrinking population, and the consequences extend far beyond the American family. Nicholas Eberstadt argues that falling birth rates reflect a deeper cultural shift away from […]

Anthony Fauci's private diary presents a starkly different account of the COVID pandemic from the one given to the American public. The records reveal his awareness that the lab-leak theory was credible, his private agreement with arguments against school closures, and his fixation on media attention, awards, money, and personal influence. Fauci publicly portrayed himself […]
