At a time when our institutions, and our children, are under attack by Far Left activists who ignore the “consent of the governed” and seek to impose their own woke ideology, this newsletter tracks tyranny wherever it shows up — in politics or culture.
I titled this blog Make Orwell Fiction Again after George Orwell, British author of the dystopian novel 1984. Written after World War II, his book predicted a world of government censorship — where the Ministry of Truth is responsible for propaganda and for rewriting history. In the UK now, censors are jailing citizens who speak up against transgender policies or rape of little girls by migrant Muslims. The only way I know to fight back is to stand and speak the truth.

I’m a former journalist — for nearly 30 years I covered the White House, Congress and State Department for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times, and served as president of the White House Correspondents’ Association.
When journalism went Woke, I went back to school to earn a PhD in history. As a historian, I wrote two books on women’s campaign to win the vote. Gilded Suffragists: The New York Socialites Who Fought for Women’s Right to Vote chronicled the role of uber wealthy women of the Gilded class and their impact on the fight for suffrage. And Yet They Persisted analyzes the long history of this movement, from 1776 to 1965.
My newest book is Trump’s Superpower: A Historical Novel about the Founding Fathers & One Founding Mother. In the book, I bring the founders down from heaven to participate in our 250th birthday celebrations on July Fourth. They have many funny encounters with 21st Century Americans — Ben Franklin is arrested for transgendering someone, George Washington gets his teeth fixed and Alexander Hamilton dances with First Lady Melania Trump at the White House. The founders also have an ongoing debate among themselves about whether this is the America they meant to leave us.
