South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham has given opponents fresh ammunition to attack her on...

Jon Ossoff clearly has his eyes on something beyond his Senate seat

Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) does not look or present like the same person he was five years ago. The boyish face that made him a cable news fixture during the 2017 Georgia special election, the one that Republicans in the 6th Congressional District hung in mailers next to the word “outsider,” has been replaced by […]

We should all join ex-teacher Darius Williams in crying at the failures of America’s schools

The disaster isn't only in inner-city schools; it’s everywhere — and the damning results are now showing up at the college level.

Anti-Israel politicans are obsessed with AIPAC — and ignore the real foreign threats to US politics

Seedy foreign cash is shaping our culture and our politics. But it's not coming from where the propagandists say it is.

We outlasted Pharaoh, the Nazis, and the Soviets. Modern antisemites are next

The vicious wave of antisemitism sweeping through the world is terrifying and imperiling Jews, Israel, and others who support free and tolerant societies and the existence of a safe and secure Jewish state. Confronting this evil has been and will continue to be difficult, costly, and painful. History, however, emphatically indicates that we can and […]

When empathy is not enough

Last week on the subway, I saw a man crouch down over an empty seat, proceeding to urinate — and possibly defecate. His behavior and ostensible intoxication were so extreme that it is possible that he mistook the subway seat for a toilet seat. It was a first for me. It gave me pause to […]

The ‘dangerous’ AI models are the ones saving us

When the next cyberattack hits a Fortune 500 company, or ransomware locks the files of a regional hospital system, which artificial intelligence tools will information technology experts use to ward off attackers? Against these threats, coders are increasingly ditching frontier AI large language models in favor of open models without guardrails. This matters because powerful […]

You don’t have to be a Trump supporter to be worried about socialism

Socialism is fashionable again. We should stop pretending that is harmless. You do not have to be a Republican to oppose socialism. You do not have to support President Donald Trump, defend every corporation, or believe every outcome produced by a market is just. You only have to take socialists seriously when they tell us […]

From ‘white privilege’ to ‘trans inclusion’: The WNBA is relevant for all the wrong reasons

For the first time in my lifetime, the WNBA is culturally relevant. Not because of how skilled the athletes are, but because of how polarizing it has become in the age of Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham. In the process, left-wing narratives about race and gender are unraveling before our eyes. The conversation surrounding the […]

Young people need realistic expectations about love

It is not a stretch to say that certain circles of the dating world have become cesspools of narcissists, hedonists, and kids who weren’t spanked enough by their parents. Because of this, many disillusioned daters are becoming so-called “heteropessimists.” In an article in the Atlantic, titled “The great romance slump,” writer Faith Hill describes the […]

AOC’s lonely road

For a powerful congresswoman and presidential hopeful, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is sure talking a lot about marriage and parenthood. This may be progress. While the old guard of her party — think Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer — put family front and center, the next generation of the party’s leaders has been […]

Mamdani’s war on affordability

With the clock ticking toward the Nov. 3 midterm elections, Republicans face deep voter concerns about President Donald Trump‘s seeming indifference to affordability issues. The perception exists even though sustained price hikes occurred between his nonconsecutive terms — a key reason voters returned him to the White House. The good news is that there is […]

Who’s afraid of a stay-at-home mom?

What do you call it when a college-educated married woman has a baby, and, bolstered by her husband’s income, she leaves her job to spend time raising the baby? If you’re the financial press or a liberal academic, you call this a “troubling employment trend,” you lament it as a “sign of the Trump times,” and […]
