The folly of abortion abolitionism

There is a long-shot bill in the North Carolina legislature sparking some hubbub. It seeks to amend the state constitution to allow women who receive abortions to be prosecuted for murder. The bill follows similar ones in other states. They come from an ascendant faction in the anti-abortion movement known as abortion abolitionists. I say […]

The mystery of Palestinian publicity: Why Jews are losing in the court of public opinion

Fair is fair. When it comes to publicity, to verbiage, to shaping world opinion, to swaying college campuses, to harvesting votes at the United Nations, Iran, the Palestinians, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis run rings around the Israelis in particular and the Jews in general. This is a puzzle. The Jews are the “People of […]

How COVID-19 church shutdowns broke the First Amendment

Gabriel Rench didn’t expect to be arrested for singing hymns. On September 23, 2020, he and two fellow congregants from Christ Church joined roughly 150 people at a Moscow, Idaho, parking lot for a 20-minute outdoor “psalm sing” — a peaceful protest of the city’s mask mandate. Police arrested all three. In July 2023, the […]

America’s real monarch has been betrayed by its servants

The Cosmos is indifferent and uncompromising. It does not care about your feelings or grievances. Every morning it is there, ignoring you, asking the same question: What are you going to do about it? Most humans are chasing the same things: more and better life — more hours filled with better minutes. More leisure, more […]

A rich man’s war, a poor man’s fight: The Civil War’s divided home front

Lower-class bitterness for the powerful and elite; citizens feeling threatened and angered by an intrusive, aggressive central government; inflammatory news media; rising prices amid growing poverty. These are themes of outrage and frustration across America today, just as they were over 160 years ago during the Civil War. And they drove opposition to the war […]

Trump’s foolish rebuke of Italy’s Meloni

President Donald Trump has long viewed the European Union as an obsolete institution that undermines national sovereignty through excessive bureaucracy. But Trump’s recent outburst toward Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, claiming she “begged for a picture” and that he “felt sorry for her,” presents a far more direct attack. The consequences for the trans-Atlantic friendship […]

On This Day: Intrigue rules the day. Spies are within Washington’s own guard. And the wording of the declaration sharpens

The following is an installment of “On This Day,” a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Don’t regulate America out of its innovation lead

America is racing to lead the world in artificial intelligence, chips, and other key technologies. Winning requires investment, fast growth, and rules that encourage risk-taking. New proposals from the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department move in the opposite direction. They would make it harder, slower, and more expensive to create, build, and grow innovative […]

The rhetoric Europe needed to hear

There is an annoying kind of dishonesty that passes, in elitist circles, for diplomacy. For at least three decades, European governments practiced it to perfection. They attended summits, issued public statements, committed themselves to targets they never intended to meet, and relied on the assumption that Washington would cover the gap between their stated goals […]

Trump-Vance Iran memorandum: The disgrace of the deal

Vice President JD Vance was the point person in negotiating the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and has since become the face of that agreement. At his press conference on June 18, Vance tried to mask the realities of the U.S.-Iran MOU in ambiguities and contradictions. The vice president repeatedly said all the benefits given to […]
