The Left has panicked since America’s top tribunal decided last month, 6-to-3, that racial preferences in college admissions are unconstitutional. “The Supreme Court ruling has put a giant roadblock in our country’s march toward racial justice,” complained Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Former first lady Michelle Obama moaned: “Today, my heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their…

Irving Berlin’s last musical was a largely forgotten show called “Mr. President” (1962). One of the silly songs below his usual high standards included the lyric “The Secret  Service makes me nervous.” That’s how I felt after the agency, charged with protecting the president, delivered a report that said it could not find the person…

Bucking film critics and the Left, a film showcasing the reality of child sex trafficking holds second place at the box office—after finishing No. 1 over Independence Day weekend—as it continues to outperform the summer blockbusters. Box Office Mojo, a website that calculates box office revenues, reported that “Sound of Freedom” beat out other expected…

The end of affirmative action was inevitable. The only surprise in the Supreme Court’s recent decision was that such intentions gone terribly wrong lasted so long. First, supporters of racial preferences always pushed back the goal posts for the program’s success. Was institutionalized reverse bias to last 20 years, 60 years, or ad infinitum? Parity…

Since the 2020 election, President Joe Biden has made clear his intention to drive America’s gasoline- and diesel-powered cars and trucks right off our roads. In May, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new rule that would impose such strict emissions limits that carmakers would only be able to comply with them by switching the…

House of Representatives investigators just issued an interim report on Tuesday detailing a sophisticated effort by leaders at the National Institutes of Health and a select group of researchers—including those who had received substantial NIH grant funding—to disprove the hypothesis that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese research laboratory and push the narrative that it instead…

The FBI needs to be fixed, because it has become a threat to the fundamental liberties of Americans, Steve Bradbury of The Heritage Foundation argues in a lengthy new white paper released this week. “The liberty of the American people is under threat from politicized national security agencies, exemplified by the abuses of the Federal…

Is it a new day in America? Dylan Mulvaney just deployed the “s” word—and it doesn’t seem like it’s changed anything about the boycott of Bud Light, which continues to lose sales months after partnering up with the transgender influencer, much less the larger national debate about gender identity. In a new TikTok video, Mulvaney…

For well over a decade, the Left has waged war on cluster munitions. Left-wing nongovernmental organizations and other groups have demonized them, liberal U.S. administrations have downplayed them, and the left-leaning media have exaggerated the civilian casualties they cause. But now, in a complete about-face, the U.S. has agreed to supply cluster munitions to the…
