Biden administration’s extremism aims to mandate abortion

The abortion extremism of the Biden administration will be on full display this week as President Joe Biden’s lawyers try to convince our nation’s highest court that a 38-year-old federal law requiring hospital emergency rooms to stabilize sick patients also includes an abortion mandate.  The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act is the latest […]

Democrats must prioritize women’s health over abortion by mail

As the Supreme Court deliberates over access to mifepristone, a medication utilized in the majority of U.S. abortions, it’s evident that the issue extends far beyond legal technicalities.  The debate surrounding mailing abortion pills underscores a troubling hypocrisy within the Democratic Party, which must be addressed in the context of safeguarding women’s health and rights. At […]

Liz Truss gave the people what they wanted and was punished

Singer Peter Allen had a hit in the 1970s with “Everything Old is New Again,” a sentiment that holds just as true for politics. Take the same supply-side revolution that was reignited throughout the English-speaking Western world four decades ago. It’s making a comeback because the big-government alternative has spent the better part of the […]

Columbia, hotbed of antisemitism

Whoever prepared Columbia University’s four witnesses for their congressional hearing Wednesday clearly studied December’s campus antisemitism hearing. The quartet aimed to sound calm, concerned, and likable. But their performance only put lipstick on an ugly situation.  President Minouche Shafik took credit for listening to concerned Jewish students. But Jews at Columbia have described being ignored […]

Gagging Trump: Why is he barred from discussing Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels?

GAGGING TRUMP: WHY IS HE BARRED FROM DISCUSSING MICHAEL COHEN AND STORMY DANIELS? Former President Donald Trump starts his trial on Monday forbidden to speak publicly about the witnesses against him in a case some experts have called weak and politically motivated. But the witnesses are not forbidden from speaking about Trump. Indeed, one of the […]

If the long-term aim is security, don’t give ayatollahs the response they want

Revenge is, by definition, pointless. It cannot undo whatever wrong we have suffered. It can only expose us to further harm. Yet the desire for revenge is hard-wired into all of us. The evolutionary biologists Martin Daly and Margo Wilson studied 60 different cultures around the world and found that in 57 of them, there […]

Are we ready for a shrinking working-age population?

In December, there were a bit more than 209.1 million people of working age in the United States, according to government numbers. In March, the latest numbers show, there were a little bit less than 208.6 million. That decline of half a million people isn’t a big deal, but it’s a sign of a bigger […]

Contra Tucker Carlson, the US was justified in saving lives by bombing Japan

Tucker Carlson, having decided he has provided enough cover for contemporary adversaries such as the Kremlin and Hamas, has pivoted to defending Imperial Japan. In the telling of the commentator, the Allied powers of World War II were not just unjustified in dropping the atomic bomb over Hiroshima and then Nagasaki, but they were outright […]

On Earth Day, sacrifice your pessimism, not your progeny, to save the planet

Biden must not tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

The Biden administration is reportedly considering tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to counter rising gas prices this summer. Such a move would set a bad precedent. The SPR exists for reasons of national security, not political convenience. Vikas Dwivedi, a global oil and gas strategist, told Bloomberg that the White House might turn to the SPR to […]

Conservatives must reclaim Earth Day

April 22 marks the 54th celebration of Earth Day. Unfortunately, there should be much more to celebrate five decades later.  Even today, with an administration that has made environmentalism a top priority, the majority of the public believes President Joe Biden has “mostly failed” on climate change. Perhaps that’s because his administration insists on counterproductive […]

Supreme Court exposes Biden’s selective prosecution of political opponents

During oral arguments on Tuesday, Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito exposed the Biden administration’s inexcusable practice of selective prosecution of protesters and rioters. The case, Fischer v. United States, involved the contention by Pennsylvanian Joseph Fischer that the charges of “obstruct[ion of] … any official proceeding,” based on 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c), should […]

Democrats are using an infirm 81-year-old Joe Biden to defraud the electorate
