In 2020, a lot of people went for Joe Biden because they wanted a return to normal life.
A vote for the Democrat, it was said, would be a way to “turn down the heat” and calm a nation riven by the deadly Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the media and deep state’s nonstop circus surrounding then-President Donald Trump.
“History, faith and reason show the way,” President Biden said in his inaugural address on Jan.… Continue Reading

First Liberty and legal experts around the country are sounding the alarm about the Biden administration’s recently proposed changes to Title IX.
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a civil rights law that protects students from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. It was signed into law to give female athletes equal opportunity and treatment in sports, from elementary schools to colleges.… Continue Reading

For years, those of us in the media have known that National Public Radio could also be called National People’s Radio.
It’s no secret that tax-subsidized NPR has leaned left since its inception in 1970. But the network had some good reporting and used to keep its most radical elements mostly in check.
Public radio even features discussions pitting conservatives against liberals on various issues. I did some of those when I worked as a cultural policy analyst for the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America.… Continue Reading

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can be an unhinged leftist and crackpot, but he also happens to be correct about President Joe Biden‘s attacks on constitutional order, particularly free expression.
Speaking to an incredulous Erin Burnett on CNN this week, Kennedy argued that Biden was a bigger threat to “democracy” than Donald Trump, a position that clashes with the media’s entire 2024 campaign messaging.
In a more decent world, we’d be debating which presidential candidate was better at upholding the constitutional order, rather than which one was worse.… Continue Reading

The over-politicization of our culture has ruined so much. Among plenty of other things, our language has been one of the greatest casualties of our 24-hour “news” culture, our obsession over ideological purity and political scandal. Words don’t mean what they used to mean anymore.
People who aren’t bigots are called bigots because it’s easier to call names than make arguments.
Things that aren’t racism are deemed racist because shaming is easier than logically engaging.… Continue Reading

It’s March, and you know what that means — lots of change and celebration in the air.
Daylight saving time begins March 10. St. Patrick’s Day is March 17. On that day, everyone’s Irish — even the English among us. The spring equinox is March 20. And there’s March madness.
I’m not talking about watching 68 colleges battle it out for the NCAA basketball titles. Or even the advent of baseball spring training, with opening day (March 28) only weeks away.… Continue Reading

If there were any doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed widespread corruption in America’s health care establishment, a federal lawsuit should put it to rest.
Filed by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana, Murthy v. Missouri accuses the Biden administration of censoring medical views it dislikes.
So, what did the American Medical Association do? The doctors guild lined up with the censors in an amicus brief.
That’s right. It’s their way or the highway, science be damned.… Continue Reading

How bad is the situation at the Southwest border?
I attended a hearing Thursday of the U.S. House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border and Foreign Affairs on the consequences of the current “catch and release” policies to observe how members of both parties address an issue that troubles American voters.
The situation at the border is so downright scary, Jessica Vaughan of the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies testified, that Mexican cartels now are making more money from human trafficking than drug trafficking.… Continue Reading

Something dawned on me a few weeks ago. I am far more intrigued and interested in writing about and discussing the frustrations and failures I perceive occurring within the modern Republican Party than I am the absolute fecal show that exists on the left side of the American political spectrum.
Having committed itself to a policy agenda facilitating the destruction of human life, human nature, and the human family, the modern Democrat Party has disqualified itself from serious moral consideration to men and women of a grounded moral conscience.… Continue Reading

President Joe Biden seemed to forget the name of a Catholic parish and confuse two foreign presidents during a Thursday evening press conference that was intended to defend the president’s memory after Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report regarding the investigation of Biden’s handling of classified documents.
In his report, Hur described Biden’s memory as “hazy,” “faulty,” and “fuzzy.” The Special Counsel did not recommend criminal charges against the president, warning that Biden would “likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”… Continue Reading
