PolitiFact Is to Facts What Pravda Was to Truth, Credibility
During a recent broadcast, I said that once Elon Musk takes control of Twitter, “Twitter will be flooded with hate, and a lot of it will come from people on the left who want to show how hate-filled it is. It’s like their race-hoax industry. If you see a noose on a college dorm of… -

Living as a Christian could get a student suspended from public school in Fairfax County, Virginia. Earlier this month, the school board conducted an annual review of its Regulation 2601, proposing edits to a 70-page-long document on “Student Rights and Responsibilities,” and parents noticed something shocking.

5 Pro-Life Strategies for Post-Roe America
In December, I returned home to Florida from Washington, D.C., after watching the oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The Supreme Court’s upcoming decision in that case, especially in light of the recent leaked draft opinion, is likely to significantly undermine or even completely overturn Roe v. Wade in June. Only days… -

Adrian Vermeule leads a growing chorus of critics on the right heralding some form of common goodism as the locus of constitutional interpretation in the judicial system.

Pro-Life OB-GYNs Prepare for Post-Roe America
OB-GYNs, as do all other physicians, vow to protect and preserve life.

There’s a Cold War Brewing Between Biden and Everyday Americans
Last June, the Biden administration unveiled its National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. Despite its anodyne-sounding name, the national strategy was anything but anodyne. The pamphlet represented the logical culmination of the left’s cynical use of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot as a means of ginning up large-scale, nationwide anti-Republican/anti-Trump voter sentiment.
