Why the Left is, was and always will be pro-mask

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager, March 9, 2023 The world’s most trusted evaluator of medical studies, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, has just released as close to a conclusive report on the effectiveness of masks against respiratory viruses such as COVID-19 as we are likely to have for the foreseeable future. The report assessed […]

Who’s crazy — The religious or the irreligious?

Who’s crazy — The religious or the irreligious?

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager There are very few things conservatives, liberals and leftists agree on. But if they are irreligious, they all agree that religious Americans are more irrational than irreligious Americans. It is a secular axiom that secularism and secular people are rooted in reason, whereas religion and the religious are rooted in […]

Prager: Why secular conservatives should pray and study the Bible with their children

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager, December 18, 2022 Secular conservatives have done, and continue to do, great work on behalf of America, liberty and conservatism in general. But they will not likely have conservative grandchildren — and many will not have conservative children. I know this because I speak with hundreds of conservatives a year […]

The indoctrinated willingly sacrifice personal liberty and even lives for big government

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager There are a number of reasons many young people shy away from conservatism.

In an earlier era, schools taught 10-year-olds ‘self control’

In an earlier era, schools taught 10-year-olds ‘self control’

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager A couple of weeks ago, the New York Times published a photo of what I had reason to believe was an elementary school classroom. I couldn’t help but notice a big, colorful sign in the classroom that read, “The World Is A Better Place With You In It.” Using an […]

Women, yes women, have done real damage to our country in recent years

Women, yes women, have done real damage to our country in recent years

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled “Naked Nomads,” which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point […]

God-free for decades: How is the totally secular contemporary world doing?

God-free for decades: How is the totally secular contemporary world doing?

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager Fewer young Americans affiliate with any organized religion than ever before in American history. This means, therefore, that the children — and certainly the grandchildren — of millions of faithful Christians have abandoned Christianity. The same holds true for Jews, but that decline began somewhat earlier. Until the 20th century, […]

Wisdom is not being taught in secular schools

Wisdom is not being taught in secular schools

Special to WorldTribune.com Dennis Prager The average 12-year-old student at a yeshiva has more wisdom than almost any student at Harvard or most other universities.
