By: David French – nationalreview.com – June 11, 2018 A nation facing immense cultural challenges vents political rage. This weekend I read two stories that both, in their own ways, summed up the dysfunction that’s dominating American political life. They’re both tales of action and reaction, of reading far too much into the events of modern life — even modern...

By: Ryan T. Anderson – wsj.com – June 6, 2018 A 7-2 win at the Supreme Court is a big deal. But some advocates of religious freedom minimized the importance of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, saying it was a narrow ruling that applies only to the manifest hostility to religion the commission showed in adjudicating Jack Phillips’s...

  By: Hank Berrien – dailywire.com – June 6, 2018 A tale of two Midwestern states: In 2014, Minnesota started implementing minimum wage increases, while Wisconsin did not. Minnesota instituted phased-in hourly increases on August 1 of each year through 2016, and indexed them to inflation based on economic conditions beginning January 2017. At the beginning of 2018, Minnesota’s minimum...

By: David French – nationalreview.com – June 5, 2018 A day after the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision, I find myself in an uncomfortable position on two counts. First, I’m more optimistic and pleased than I was yesterday (I’m far more comfortable with cynicism). And, second, I find myself disagreeing with some of the smartest folks in conservatism. Andrew McCarthy has an...

By: Tom Gilson – stream.org – June 5, 2018 It only took moments on Monday for LGBT activists to roll out their bogus talking points again. All three appeared like clockwork in MSNBC’s inevitable LGBT reaction story on Monday afternoon. They aren’t bogus because I disagree with them. They’re bogus because they’re false, irrational, deceitful and manipulative. And yet they...

By: Bob Dane – immigrationreform.com – April 26, 2018 Calling out election fraud in Dallas County, a Texas state senator wants voter registration rolls purged of illegal aliens and non-citizens. Sen. Don Huffines, R-Dallas, cited research showing 356 non-citizens voted in Dallas County between September 1999 and March 2007. The problem goes farther and deeper. In 2015, the election-watch group...

By: Erik Brady – usatoday.com – June 5, 2018 The Philadelphia Eagles were supposed to be at the White House Tuesday to celebrate their Super Bowl title. It’s one of those Washington traditions that is a sort of win-win for both sides. Presidents and players get to bask in each other’s reflected glory. They are America’s winners – of national...

By: Rachel Alexander – townhill.com – June 4, 2018 The saying “If you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all” used to be popular in America. This began to change in the 1960s, when loud, in-your-face hippie protests emerged, and so began the spiraling down of manners. Then later on, the emergence of email as a common method of...

By: David French – nationalreview.com – June 4, 2018 Tolerance, it appears, is not a one-way street. Since the rise of the gay-marriage movement, it has become fashionable to decry dissenters as haters and bigots, to attempt to write them out of polite society in the same way that the larger American body politic has rightfully rejected the Klan. Politicians...

By: Tony Perkins – stream.org – June 2, 2018 There’s a lot to dislike about many public schools — and right now, student safety is at the top of the list. “After a gunman opened fire on students in Parkland, Florida,” a new Washington Times feature explains, “the phones started ringing at the Texas Home School Coalition, and they haven’t...
