Farm-state Republicans have coalesced around a new winning message for November: a federal ban on American companies exporting diesel around the world. Resurrecting the 1970s’ failed energy policies would be a disaster and replicate a COVID-19-level shock to global supply chains. It’s no secret that Republican strategists are getting increasingly worried about polls from middle […]
You’ve heard that Western countries are committing civilizational suicide through the adoption of “progressive” policies and dogma, but Canada is committing a quite literal suicide, euthanizing its population one by one. Canada’s “medical assistance in dying” is the fastest-growing cause of death in Canada as well as the world’s fastest-growing “assisted dying” program. MAID is […]
The American Right has spent years warning about the dangers of concentrated government power. Republican lawmakers and pundits have rightly decried Democrats’ race toward socialism this election cycle. Yet, which of these heralds will turn the party’s scrutiny toward its own embrace of that power? Growing acceptance of tariffs, deficit spending, and top-down mandates impacting […]
In conservative and largely online circles, the term “NETTR” has gained traction. It stands for “no enemies to the right.” The underlying thinking is that those to one’s left are the enemies, and those to one’s right, just by mere placement, can’t be. It sounds good in theory: that “owning the Libs” matters most of […]
For years, Washington has argued over a question that shouldn’t have been hard in the first place: Should automakers — companies that collect billions in federal subsidies and incentives — get to yank free AM radio out of dashboards, just as cars turn into rolling computers stuffed with connected infotainment systems that Big Auto and […]
In more than two dozen years of national community relations work, I have learned to listen not only to what people say about Israel, but to what they never say about anyone else. That silence is public. It is a tell. A person can march on campus and storm city councils over Israel and still […]
In a recent op-ed, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. laid out a clear, urgent vision for the future of our healthcare system, noting the central role of prevention as one of our most powerful tools in medicine. As a physician, I could not agree more, but achieving that vision requires a […]
We call it the “rare disease community,” but there is nothing rare about the number of Americans whose lives are touched by these diseases. Cancer afflicts 18 million Americans. Comparatively, an estimated 30 million Americans — roughly 1 in 10 — live with a rare disease. Individually, the more than 7,000 rare diseases affect relatively […]
Enough. I have tried making this argument politely. I have tried making it historically. I have tried making it legally. So let me make it as plainly as possible: Lemkin Institute, give the Lemkin family back its name. You don’t own it. You didn’t earn it. And you should not get to wrap your political […]
Every day in America, a grandfather walks into the dermatologist’s office, the doctor examines a concerning mole, then removes it during the same visit. Medicare may pay for the office visit and the procedure separately, at close to full price. That’s one visit but two charges, and grandpa owes coinsurance on both. This could be […]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal on Monday night during an interview on CNN, labeling him the “architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people.” Out of curiosity, I turned to Google to check the actual legal definition of genocide. According to the website of […]
