Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, on Sunday becomes the first of the big-name potential 2028 Democratic White House hopefuls to visit a key primary state.
Twelve years ago, I was nine years old, playing on the beach and savoring the final moments of spring break 2013. Unexpectedly, my mom shouted from her beach chair, “We have a new pope!” I dashed over to her chair, interested in this exclamation. “He’s a Jesuit, that’s weird,” she continued. I just nodded, not sure […]
The funeral of Pope Francis — the world's first Argentinean pontiff — will be held in Rome early Saturday as Catholics around the globe gather to pay their respects. Francis died Monday at the age of 88 from a stroke — a complication of chronic lung disease, which had plagued the pope for months. His...
Pope Francis's funeral is slated to begin early Saturday in Rome as Catholics mourn the loss of their leader and prepare for the conclave to replace him. Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re will preside over Francis's funeral in St. Peter's Square and is expected to deliver the eulogy. Francis died earlier this week from heart failure...
During oral arguments in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson unintentionally made a practical and convincing case for universal school choice. A few years back, the Montgomery County, Maryland school board instituted an “LGBTQ-inclusive” curriculum that included storybooks for kids as young as prekindergarten. The books are ostensibly part of […]
Ever since I was in grade school, I loved visiting the National Museum of American History in Washington, one of the many Smithsonian museums scattered across the city. Since I was a homeschooled student who grew up within easy driving distance of Washington, visiting museums was a regular part of my education, to the point […]
In a recent piece for the New York Times, atheist utilitarian philosopher Peter Singer placidly explained the value of voluntary assisted suicide beyond the usual requisite medical conditions. His calmness is where we find significant cause for alarm. Not because one man, along with his co-author and co-podcast-host, is himself unalarmed by it, but because […]
The week of Earth Day, social media feeds are flooded with images of trees, beaches, mountains, and wildlife. For a moment, everyone seems to agree that we love this planet’s natural beauty. It’s stirring to feel that sense of unity around something — even more so when we as a nation feel hopelessly divided in today’s […]
In a shameless attempt to bury her news among the joyous noise of Easter weekend, Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) vetoed the AZ ICE Act late last week. This commonsense proposal would have protected our communities from criminal illegal aliens by prohibiting state government entities from adopting or enforcing any policies that block or restrict law […]
The United States saw the lowest birthrate since 1979 in 2023, the year I had my fourth child. I call him my “spite” baby. We already had three, and my husband was pushing for a fourth. I thought I was done — until a doctor at UCLA dramatically suggested I get a hysterectomy due to a cyst […]
The United States faces an energy crisis. Demand for electricity is rising at rates not seen in decades. Our job at the Coalition for Green Capital is to help provide the clean, low-cost power all Americans need. We share that goal with the Environmental Protection Agency, but you would never know it from the obstacles […]
In recent weeks, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has been the target of many criticisms and attacks about his competence. His opponents will have you believe they are condemning him because of errors he made since he’s been in office. However, those are meant to distract from the primary reason behind Hegseth’s criticisms: jealousy and […]
The Supreme Court heard arguments this week in Mahmoud v. Taylor, in which parents from Montgomery County, Maryland, challenged the public school system for the right to opt their young children out from exposure to books on LGBT themes. The case appears, on the surface, to reverse long-standing views of the role of local government. […]
The Supreme Court will not issue a final ruling until this summer, but if oral arguments this week are any indication, the justices will restore parents’ right to prevent the indoctrination of their public school children into radical gender ideology. This will be welcome to anyone who wants to see schools succeed as foundational institutions […]
