Under Article V of the Constitution, two-thirds of Congress can propose constitutional amendments and, after 50 years of trying, sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states in March 1972 with a seven-year ratification deadline. Even after a disputed deadline extension, only 35 of the necessary 38 states had approved the ERA, and five of…

Be prepared for Democrats to exploit the devastation of Hurricane Ian to peddle demodernization. And because there is no conclusive way for anyone to prove that global warming isn’t triggering every natural disaster—and because nature offers a continuous flow of these terrifying events and always will—the exploitation will never stop. The effort began in earnest…

Thirty-one years ago, a media-anointed secular saint named Anita Hill uncorked some sexual harassment charges against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas that she could not substantiate. Thomas called it part of a “high-tech lynching.” But Hill, who became a millionaire author and a professor of “social policy, law, and women’s studies” at Brandeis University, has…

A 10-year-old named Noella McMaher has become the youngest transgender model ever to open and close a runway show during New York Fashion Week. Noella was born a boy, but dresses in girls’ clothing. This is yet another example of an entire community—from this child’s parents, to the fashion industry, to LGBTQ organizations—pushing radical gender…

What is the basis for the current aggressive transgender treatment for kids? Dr. Miriam Grossman, a child psychiatrist and author, says it’s rooted in a study done of 55 children in the Netherlands who suffered from gender dysphoria, and were given puberty blockers. But there are problems with how American doctors are using that study,…

For too long, Big Tech companies have abused the government’s anemic enforcement of antitrust law to kill competition, cozy up to hostile foreign actors, and consolidate power at the expense of the American consumer and citizen. A three-part antitrust bill that heads to Congress for a vote this week can help provide a fix. The…

The partisans running the House Jan. 6 committee would like you to believe there’s a controversy over an ex-Republican coming out with his own “unauthorized” Jan. 6 book the day before their last scheduled committee hearing. Would your average cynical reporter buy this “going rogue” storyline? Or does it look conveniently designed to put the…

NASA successfully conducted a test Monday in which the agency deliberately ran a spacecraft into the smaller of two asteroids to alter the trajectory of that asteroid. The space agency’s successful test, called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, involved advanced technologies. The spacecraft hit the smaller “moonlet” at some 14,760 mph—a speed substantially…

TALLINN, Estonia—Conservatives seldom have been great at forging international coalitions. But that is changing rapidly. A common enemy always does that. Failure to form global networking is a bit of an occupational hazard for conservatism, inherently a nation-oriented, inward-looking endeavor. Conservatives, after all, seek to conserve very different national traditions, sometimes contradictory ones. What a…

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…
