The latest mRNA COVID-19 boosters have been authorized since late August 2023. Nine weeks later, where are all the photos of politicians and celebrities getting vaccinated to encourage the general public to get their shots? Despite eschewing much of social media, television, and trendy media stories, I still couldn’t avoid major mainstream news reports in…

Target’s second quarter earnings report proved the retail giant still hasn’t rebounded from its “Pride” fallout over the summer, showing a 5.4% decrease in sales—the first drop in roughly six years. The company’s third quarter report was no better, revealing an additional 4.9% drop. Thanks to Target’s partnership with a satanist designer and its highly controversial “Pride” line—which pushed transgender extremism on…

When President Barack Obama named retiring Rep. Ray LaHood, R-Ill., to serve as his administration’s secretary of transportation, LaHood brought with him a vision for changing the way Americans moved from one place to another. It would start with empowering the government to monitor how many miles Americans drove. “We should look at the vehicular…

When we say “never forget” in reference to 9/11, we should mean it. This week, a few dozen videos featuring people who say they read the now-deceased 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” went viral on TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media platform. Bin Laden explained in the 2002 letter, which was recently republished…

Adoption is a beautiful decision that should always be celebrated, but especially in November, during National Adoption Month. From the first time I unexpectedly saw that positive pregnancy test, I knew that I was destined to become a birth mom and give another woman the chance to experience the beauty of motherhood. Growing up in…

On Dec. 10, the United Nations will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document drafted in the aftermath of World War II under the leadership of American first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Much has changed since then, including the world body’s understanding of children and of parental rights. The original…

Proportionality in war is a synonym for lethal stalemate, if not defeat. When two sides go at it with roughly equal forces, weapons, and strategies, the result is often a horrific deadlock—like the four years of toxic trench warfare on the Western Front of World War I that resulted in 12 million fatalities. The purpose…

On Nov. 7, the House of Representatives (212 Republicans and 22 Democrats) voted to censure radical Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., because she has “levied unbelievable falsehoods about our greatest ally, Israel, and the attack on October 7.” One of those outrageous falsehoods was clinging to the false claim that Israel bombed the al-Ahli hospital in…

Arizona State University President Michael Crow believes we are in such danger that we should amend the U.S. Constitution to empower the government to deal more expansively with climate change. Crow’s view that constitutional protections of our liberties should be eliminated when they become inconvenient wouldn’t square with the founders, but his estimate of the…

Last weekend marked Armistice Day in Great Britain and Veterans Day in the United States. Both are somber days, typically marked by honor and respect for symbols of the country and the men and women who have sacrificed so much for them. Instead, both London and New York City featured terrorist supporters marching en masse…

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain has been bragging about the contract he secured with auto companies and took credit for it in a U.S. Senate committee hearing on Tuesday. On Thursday, GM’s workers ratified the contract with 45% of the workforce voting against it. Some Ford and Stellantis workers in Kentucky and Ohio have also…

I have been following the news from Israel very closely since first learning of the horrifying attacks of Oct. 7. As someone who has traveled to the Holy Land on nearly two dozen occasions and seen the country from north to south, I was affected. But nothing has prepared me for what has come after…

Two competing proposals in Congress address Social Security provisions—the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO)—that affect workers who have worked in jobs that were exempt from Social Security. One proposal would revert to a deeply flawed benefit system at a cost of $183 billion while hastening Social Security’s insolvency by more…
