By: David French – nationalreview.com – June 17, 2019 Today, Parkland-shooting survivor Kyle Kashuv tweeted that Harvard University had rescinded his admissions offer after it discovered that he’d made offensive, racist comments in a private online chat when he was 16 years old. I’m not going to repeat what he said, but no one disputes that his comments were egregious and wrong....

By: Derek Hunter – townhall.com – June 16, 2019 Candidates for office have a long history of promising the sun, the moon, and the stars to get votes, and the higher the office, the bigger the promises. Of course, the bigger the promises, the bigger the disappointment when they inevitably don’t deliver on them. But what one Democrats running for president is dangling in...

By: Robert B. Charles – amac.us – April 24, 2019 Imagine that Russia – or China – wanted to hit Americans where it would hurt.  What would they do?  How could they most efficiently undermine America’s ability to stay strong?  The best way would be to undermine us physically.  That would also be fastest.  But how? One way would be to promote drug abuse,...

By: Lathan Watts – fedsoc.org – April 8, 2019 As Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi leads House Democrats closer to passage of the so-called Equality Act, Americans may get a rare but necessary object lesson on the system of checks and balances established in our Constitution.  Proponents of the Equality Act claim it will “make America fairer.”  But as the Heritage Foundation has explained,...

By: Tom Giovanetti – ipi.org – June 11, 2019 It was one year ago today that the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Restoring Internet Freedom Order took effect, which reversed the Obama administration’s late 2015 reclassification of broadband providers as Title II regulated entities. And the sky didn’t fall. Progressive activists, who hate the fact that the internet infrastructure (the means of production) is...

By: Rich Lowry – nationalreview.com – June 14, 2019 The real felt urgency of climate change will not, anytime soon, match the rhetoric of the advocates. The more the climate debate changes, the more it stays the same. Polls show that the public is worried about climate change, but that doesn’t mean that it is any more ready to bear any burden...

by Merrill Matthews & H. Sterling Burnett – ipi.org – June 10, 2019 Climate models’ projections are notoriously inaccurate and often contradictory. In an effort to improve the science used by regulatory agencies, the Trump administration has made, and is still making, adjustments in the way the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other agencies approach climate change and make the predictions that drive climate policies....

By: Dennis Prager – stream.org – June 11, 2019 The sadistic treatment of Paul Manafort illustrates something I have believed since I attended graduate school in the 1970s and saw the behavior of left-wing students: Leftism makes people meaner. There are kind and mean conservatives and kind and mean liberals. Neither liberalism nor conservatism makes people kinder or meaner. But this is...

By: The Editors – nationalreview.com – June 11, 2019 Dan Lipinski is the last of a dying breed. The Illinois congressman is one of only three pro-life Democrats left in the House. And within the pro-life Democratic caucus (if we may call a trio a “caucus”), Lipinski is the only true liberal. Lipinski has a record of being unwilling to compromise...

By: Sohrab Ahmari – firstthings.com – May 29, 2019 In March, First Things published a manifesto of sorts signed by several mostly youngish, mostly Roman Catholic writers, who argued that “there is no returning to the pre-Trump conservative consensus that collapsed in 2016,” that “any attempt to revive the failed conservative consensus that preceded Trump would be misguided and harmful to the...
