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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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?

The consequences for the trans-Atlantic friendship […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
House lawmakers announced a bipartisan deal on a package for protecting kids online on Monday, months after negotiations on digital and social media regulation fell apart between the two parties.
