A Utah judge on Monday ordered a 71-year-old man who spent decades on death row for a 1985 killing to be released on bail, despite objections from the victim's family, after prosecutors said newly analyzed DNA evidence did not match him.
An old saying is that “all good things must come to an end.” And while no one should really categorize Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) as a good thing, it should be celebrated that his time in Congress appears to be coming to an end. Barring an unforeseen wave of political support, Bowman is expected to […]
Pro-abortion corporate activists aren’t going away with the fall of Roe v. Wade. As a corporate analyst, I have an inside window into one of ESG activists’ favorite strategies: changing the argument over time to fit the cultural milieu and perceived urgency of the moment. Activists focused on marshaling corporate support for abortion are all […]
What are schools for? Almost everyone would say they exist to educate students. For a small but powerful slice of the population, the main purpose of school is to employ adults. As America has fewer school-aged children every year thanks to a generation-long baby bust, public schools around the nation will need to adapt. With […]
In the latest left-wing attack on the nuclear family, NPR suggested last week that “marriage could look very different in the future.” The story noted that “over the past few decades, cohabitation rates have nearly doubled” and “more children are being born outside of marriage.” The taxpayer-subsidized organization then gleefully proclaimed that “there’s been buzz […]
As the United States confronts the challenges posed by the rise of hostile foreign powers and a changing climate, we must embrace geothermal energy as an innovative approach to energy production. Utilizing geothermal energy is key to reducing emissions, growing our economy, undoing our dependence on foreign adversaries, and securing American energy security. That’s why […]
Being a lobbyist for failed housing giant Fannie Mae seems like a relevant resume item for an intimate adviser of the president. Yet somehow, in a 2,500-word profile on Biden insiders the New York Times brands as “the strategist, the guru, and the confidant,” the word “lobbyist” never appears. Nor does the article discuss Ron […]
Choose your label to describe what’s become of President Joe Biden’s Gaza pier: Dumpster fire. Boondoggle. White elephant. Whatever you call it, the project is a bona fide failure. It seems destined to be a textbook example of what happens when the political imperative to “do something” overwhelms serious planning. The latest news is that […]
The field of artificial intelligence is already having a positive impact in a multitude of ways on our daily lives and on America’s economy, health, welfare, and national security. AI is providing earlier detection and treatment of cancers, strokes, heart disease, sepsis, and many of our most feared and costly health problems. It is helping […]
Former President Donald Trump told supporters last week that he will be facing three opponents at the debate: President Joe Biden and two of CNN’s most partisan hosts, moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The stakes are high for both Biden and Trump at Thursday night’s showdown in Atlanta. With approximately 20% of voters still […]
Israel’s politics have been rent by controversy over the Gaza Strip’s future after the war with Hamas ends. The superficially easy approach, espoused by opposition leader and former War Cabinet member Benny Gantz, is to announce a post-conflict governance plan for Gaza before hostilities conclude. The Biden administration supports this view, ostensibly to minimize risk […]
This Thursday, the Fairfax County School Board is set to vote on controversial changes to the district’s sex education curriculum. The vote likely will include whether to start instruction on gender ideology in elementary school, as recommended by the district’s ideologically homogeneous Family Life Education Curriculum Advisory Committee. As a strategy, the district’s leadership is […]
Four civilians were reported killed in an explosion on a Crimean beach on Sunday. Russia says that Ukraine launched a U.S.-provided ATACMS ballistic missile at the beachgoers. Russia is using the deaths to increase fears of a possible U.S.-Russian conflagration. Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned on Monday that the “involvement of the United States, […]
The Congressional Budget Office has underestimated Medicaid spending by billions of dollars every year for some time now and a new law that reduced illegal immigration in Florida may explain why. Since 2000, the CBO has underestimated an average of $15 billion a year of Medicaid spending, while often overestimating Social Security and Medicare spending. […]
