Congress should vote separately, but rapidly, on Israel, Ukraine, and the border

There is no good, substantive reason for the Senate to insist on bundling aid to Israel with aid to Ukraine and with Mexican border security. Then again, there is no excuse for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to avoid giving Ukrainian aid a prompt, fair vote on the House floor.

Racism is for the birds, and the toxic intellectualism of affluent, white liberals

For some reason, known only to the wokest of the woke and the absurdly radical of radicals, it’s been decided that bird names are inherently racist and must be changed. Apparently, some of these names are triggering and a form of a microaggression that offends people who aren’t white. That’s the gist of an article published by NPR, which detailed why the American Ornithological Society will change the names of bird species.

Trump’s unconservative ‘American Academy’

All politicians have bad ideas. Former President Donald Trump's bad ideas take on a particular character — they lack a conservative disposition in key respects. His proposal for a federally funded, "anti-woke," free university is rooted in all of these typical Trumpian errors: over-centralization, lack of prudence about the future, and a simplistic concept of both government finance and education.

Key Republican thinks it’s ‘futile’ to bring up agriculture spending bill again

As the end of daylight saving time looms this year, the U.S. Congress is still hung up on whether to make it permanent. A bill to do so hit a brick wall in the House last year, despite passing the Senate by unanimous consent. The bill, the Sunshine Protection Act, was reintroduced in March by...

Supreme Court to weigh Trump-era bump stock ban

The Supreme Court will decide whether to uphold a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, devices that convert semi-automatic weapons to fire more rapidly, the court announced Friday. The Trump administration imposed the rule after a gunman using a bump stock killed roughly 60 people and wounded hundreds of others attending a 2017 music festival on...

View from Kyiv: Decoupling Ukraine and Israel aid is a bad idea

Recently, Rep. Mike Garcia (D-Calif.), alongside seven of his congressional colleagues, took an alarming step by sending a letter to President Biden. The letter calls for the separation of supplemental funding for Israel from a broader financial package that also includes aid for Ukraine. What makes this development particularly troubling is the increasing number of...

‘Booty Patrol’ driver caught by Florida deputies

Earlier this week, the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office warned the public about a driver allegedly impersonating law enforcement officers in a Chevy Silverado equipped with red and blue lights.

Violent antisemitism forced Cornell to cancel classes. Enough is enough.
