It’s summer, and the Sierra Club says: “This is climate change in action. We are living it.” The United Nations’ secretary-general declares that “a fossil fuel phaseout is inevitable.” And The Lancet, a respected medical journal, insists that nations must swiftly transition away from hydrocarbons. These groups call for reducing use of fossil fuels to…

All is not well with America’s teachers. Surveys published this spring paint an alarming picture of the reality teachers face every day in our country’s classrooms. Inflation has hit their earnings. Top-down regulation has smothered their creativity and motivation. Union-driven, one-size-fits-all contracts thwart career advancement. Teachers complain of a lack of control over discipline policies,…

Liam Morrison, a Massachusetts middle schooler, wanted one thing: to wear a T-shirt declaring simply, “There are only two genders.” After the Middleboro school’s principal and a school counselor pulled Liam, then 12, out of class last year and ordered him to remove the shirt or go home, Liam took his case against the town…

Lying is certainly nothing new in politics. It is said that prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, but politics is assuredly the dirtiest—filthier even than garbageman, mortician or, well, the world’s oldest profession itself.

In the wake of President Joe Biden’s widely criticized performance on the debate stage Thursday, serious questions are being asked about the president’s ability to lead on the world stage.  How did our allies view Biden’s performance? And more importantly, what message was sent to our enemies and adversaries during Thursday night’s debate with former…

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left smear factory on the front lines of demonizing conservatives in American public discourse, is unwittingly revealing just how absurd the idea of unionizing nonprofits truly is. Last month, the SPLC reportedly terminated about a quarter of its staff and reorganized many departments. The massive shift would inevitably ruffle…

CNN host John Berman on Monday refuted Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s assertion that it’s just “elites” who are worrying about President Joe Biden’s debate performance. Biden, during his Thursday debate with former President Donald Trump, spoke with a raspy voice and trailed off, prompting concerns about his age and fitness for office. Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., appeared to attempt…

It’s a story that needed to be told, says “Sound of Hope” writer and producer Rebekah Weigel, because Possum Trot is not just another small Texas community near the Louisiana border, but a town that chose to live out God’s command to care for the orphan.  “This is such an amazing story,” says Weigel, an…
