Pinkerton: What We Can Learn from History as We Enter Cold War 2

Communism is once again stalking the United States.  The threat is a combination of subversion and espionage from the Communist regime in China, as well as from the Democratic Socialists of America—who are, in fact, not democratic and not socialists.

Pinkerton: Why Communists Import Islamists

It’s a persistent oddity: Left-wing parties in the West celebrate lifestyles that would get them imprisoned or killed if they lived in the Muslim Middle East.  And yet those same left-wingers seek to import Muslims into their own countries.

Pinkerton: The Democrat Leftward Lurch Is Permanent 

While we can’t know what’s going to happen in November, we can know that no matter what the election results, the DSA isn’t going anywhere.  Its threat is real, and will be ongoing.

Pinkerton: Like All Communists, Mamdani Erases Americans’ Heritage

If you have enough contempt for something, it’s easy to neglect it.  And if you’re a communist, it’s easy to go further than that.  We’ll get to how reds operate when they’re in power in a moment.  But first, some news from their beachhead in New York City.

Pinkerton: ‘CODE RED’ Challenges AI’s Claims on Faith

Each new day brings a hundred headlines on some aspect of artificial intelligence.  How to make sense of this flood?  Who can provide context—especially for conservatives, rightly concerned about Big Woke Tech?

Pinkerton: The Hard Lessons of 9/11 

Hard to believe it’s been 24 years since 9/11. The memories are so fresh: the planes crashing into buildings, the people fleeing, the firemen running—hundreds of them to their deaths—and the bells tolling. With the passage of nearly a quarter-century, it’s worth distilling some hard lessons.

Pinkerton: Meet the New AI Boss, Same as the Old MSM Boss

What does Google think of Breitbart News?  I asked it. I took headlines from Breitbart and turned them into questions to Google.  The answers were revealing, showing us how Google—including its artificial intelligence (AI) programs—plans to persuade us to be obedient liberals.

Pinkerton: Leo XIV and the Search for a New Social Contract in the Age of AI

Artificial Intelligence could enrich and enslave us—perhaps one or the other, perhaps both at the same time.  So, even non-Catholics should appreciate that Pope Leo XIV is summoning his Church to build a fortress for the free will of faith—the right of each soul to find a path to salvation—in the age of AI.
