Along the way, Charlie gives a good reminder of what's been accomplished these last two years, as he lays out the catastrophic border situation and trans lunacy that reigned in the White House just two years ago.

From the Archive: What Is Wisdom? Why Our Schools Stopped Teaching It

Sunday, October 4, 2026

At the 2023 Educators Summit, Charlie argues that education must do far more than just fill students with information.

If schools abandon wisdom, Charlie warns, the consequences extend far beyond the classroom.

Winning Too Much?

Thursday, October 1, 2026

As the midterms approach, an unsettling problem has become obvious: As the Trump Administration delivers on its biggest promises, like fixing the border and stopping trans lunacy, voters become forgetful rather than grateful.

Scott Greer responds to the ultra-viral Cornell fraternity story, and Evan Barker explains the real reason that black majority schools are failing — and it's not due to lack of money.
