William A. Donohue Mohammad Anwar, 66, was recently driving his Uber Eats car in Washington, D.C. when two young black girls, 13 and 15, took out a stun gun and tased him. The carjackers took command and drove away, leaving the immigrant from Pakistan hanging on, wedged between the door and the driver's seat. After he [...]
William A. Donohue Last December, I told staff members that I don't think Larry King or Rush Limbaugh will be with us much longer. From what I had been reading, their days were numbered. Regrettably, my concerns were validated. Larry died in January and Rush passed away the next month. I dealt with both of these [...]
William A. Donohue In the December edition of "President's Desk," I wrote a piece titled, "Buckle Your Seat Belts—Again." I referenced a "President's Desk" essay I wrote in December 2008 wherein I noted that we were smack right in the middle of a culture war. I added, "the culture war is about to explode." My point [...]
It is a myth to maintain that the First Amendment guarantees the right of the people to assemble. It does not. It guarantees "the right of the people peaceably to assemble." The adverb was penned by Madison to disavow claims that the aggrieved have a right to express themselves any way they want. Unfortunately, his admonition [...]
Here is a portion of how I began my "President's Desk" essay in the December 2008 edition of Catalyst. "We have been in the throes of a culture war for the past half-century, but never has it been more imperative to buckle your seat belts until now. Quite frankly, the culture war is about to explode.

William A. Donohue To prove his own existence, Descartes famously said, "I think, therefore I am." To prove their own identity, we now have people saying, "I identify as X, therefore I am X." In my lifetime, never have I seen more intellectual dishonesty than exists today. Many live in a world of fiction. Adult men [...]
William A. Donohue Where does all the hatred come from? Beginning in the spring, we have seen violent thugs take to the streets from Lancaster to Los Angeles. They have killed cops, murdered innocent bystanders, burned buildings and looted stores. Some of the violence has been coordinated; some of it has not been. There are several [...]
William A. Donohue Over the summer, Raymond Arroyo interviewed me a couple of times on his EWTN show, "The World Over." On one occasion he asked me what I thought about Black Lives Matter. "There are people out there who say, 'Well, I like the idea of black lives matter,' and if they mean it in [...]
William A. Donohue "Confident of one's own righteousness, especially when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others." That dictionary definition of self-righteousness aptly describes the way so many people have behaved in response to the protests that recently exploded across the nation. The moralizing, the grandstanding, the arrogance—it was appalling and never [...]
William A. Donohue For almost four decades, I have given countless interviews to reporters and have appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. Most of the people I have met have been wonderful; others less so. Many have been fair, but increasingly many are not. Those who work in the electronic media—radio and TV—and those [...]
