How and why does a judge apologize to a would-be presidential assassin? It’s a legitimate question and one that everyone should be asking after U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui did exactly that during a hearing for White House Correspondents’ Association dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen. Despite Allen being accused of wanting to murder President […]

The absurdity of transgenderism is that an all-women’s college will happily accept men, so long as those men simply say they are women, even if it means jeopardizing exemptions under Title IX. The Department of Education is investigating Smith College, a women-only college, for violating Title IX. Title IX prohibits sexual discrimination, but it does allow single-sex […]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rightly rejected joining a disingenuous two-day ceasefire offered by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Russian leader said he will suspend combat operations in Ukraine on Friday and Saturday. He wants Ukraine to do the same during Russia’s annual World War II victory day military parade on Saturday. Instead, Zelensky has […]

Abortion isn’t merely a big issue for Democrats. Abortion is the central organizing principle of today’s Democratic Party. Legalizing, subsidizing, and spreading abortion is a cause inextricable from the Democratic Party. At times, the Democratic Party looks like an arm of the abortion lobby. I wrote an article this past weekend on how the Biden […]

The pro-life discontent with President Donald Trump that has been simmering throughout his second term may have finally reached a boiling point. Dismayed by an increase in the number of abortions nearly four years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, leaders in the anti-abortion movement are blaming Trump for accepting the online sale of abortion […]

As Washington debates how to strengthen supply chains, lower costs, and stay competitive with China, one of the most consequential infrastructure decisions in years is receiving far too little attention. The Surface Transportation Board will soon decide whether to approve the merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, an opportunity to upgrade how goods move […]

In the years since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, the battleground over abortion has shifted to the states, and the tactics used by abortion advocates have shifted alongside it. With states regaining the right to outlaw brick-and-mortar abortion clinics within their borders, the front lines of the fight for the unborn have […]

A student group at Cornell University claims university president Michael Kotlikoff “hit us with his car” after a debate over Israel. Students for a Democratic Cornell call the incident a “violent response to student inquiry.” It’s quite the story: The University refuses to allow open debate about Israel, and resorts to violence to silence dissent! […]

For years, U.S. policy toward Iran has been built on a dangerous illusion: that the regime can be contained, negotiated with, or slowly moderated over time. It hasn’t and it won’t. Every delay, every concession, and every half-measure has only strengthened Tehran’s hand, bringing it closer to nuclear capability and deeper control over a network […]

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. May 5, 1776 Gen. George Washington has lost all patience […]

The Supreme Court issued an important opinion in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Davenport recently that protects people, particularly those who band together to promote unpopular or controversial positions, from government overreach. At first blush, First Choice may not seem that important: it was a unanimous opinion that dealt principally with whether the […]
