Herbie Newell and his staff at Lifeline Children’s Services journey with many women through unplanned pregnancies.  Over the years, Newell has come to see that “abortion isn’t about liberating women.” “It is the sexual ‘liberation’ of men,” he recently wrote for The Washington Stand.  For too long, the role of men has been ignored or…

House Republican leaders have announced a plan they are calling a “Commitment to America” in time for the November election and presumably the presidential contest two years from now. In unveiling the plan, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has the party’s priorities right. The question is whether the Republican Party can survive the familiar…

As most Americans now realize, America is experiencing a societal breakdown. This should be obvious to anyone, even those facilitating this breakdown as they openly acknowledge they seek to break down American society. This is a society that teaches its youngest citizens a suicidal lie: that America was founded in 1619, that it was built…

I don’t normally write about anything that is fiction. This is a bit of an exception. Several good novels in the past few years have hinged on the looming technology gap between China and the U.S. with regard to cyberespionage, offensive hacking, and unmanned vehicle capabilities. All of which can be lumped together as military…

Unprecedented fall elections in Italy on Sunday led to a significant shift in the government, which will almost certainly see Giorgia Meloni, head of the relative newcomer political party Brothers of Italy, take over as the nation’s first female prime minister. Brothers of Italy won the most seats in parliament, after securing about 26% of…

Tori Hope Petersen lived in 12 foster homes before she aged out of the system at 18. As a child, Petersen says she desperately wanted people to stop stereotyping her just because she was in foster care.  “I just wanted to show people that I wasn’t a bad kid, that I was good,” Petersen says….

Can artistic expression thrive under heavy-handed ideology? That’s the challenge facing artists, writers, and actors in Hollywood and elsewhere who must increasingly toe an extreme, rigid “woke” line to remain employed by culture-making institutions. Libby Emmons, the editor-in-chief of The Post Millennial—a conservative news website based in Canada—explains how she was canceled in the theater…

A writer for The Atlantic magazine recently used a story about a teenage girl who wanted to play high school football to argue against segregating sports by sex. Maggie Mertens acknowledges sex differences between men and women in sports in her essay. But she claims that “researchers today still don’t know how much of this…

Jesse Wiese knows from firsthand experience what life is like behind bars—and what it takes to reenter society. He served seven-and-a-half years in prison for robbery before joining the organization Prison Fellowship and later graduating from law school. Today, he is vice president of program design and evaluation at Prison Fellowship, where he oversees the…

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has done it again. In using already-appropriated government funds to fly 48 illegal alien Venezuelan migrants from San Antonio, Texas, to the tony blue enclave of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, DeSantis has once again demonstrated his mastery of the political game. For at least the second time this year, with the first…

A long time ago, when Air Supply and Toto were in heavy rotation on the radio, I was an 18-year-old Midwestern Republican kid in braces. So, I was especially outraged when news emerged from tiny McHenry, North Dakota, that 18-year-old Republican kid in braces Cayler Ellingson was run over and killed for his political views….

What’s been happening at America’s southern border is so crazy and so out of control that it’s almost hard to comprehend. As with all national issues, the power of the corporate media to set the narrative for the massive (but shrinking) number of Americans who still rely on them exclusively to stay informed has also…

Martha’s Vineyard has been all over the news. The tony resort community so loves aiding and comforting the undocumented immigrants who were flown in from Florida that it hugged them—for all of 48 hours. Oddly, the Left became unhinged when red-state governors— whose states the last two years were flooded with some 3 million people…
