Political Commentary & Opinion

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that on Aug. 8, the FBI took the unprecedented step of executing a search warrant at former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago. Despite claims by some that they have “seen no evidence that there was any political motivation” behind the raid, many remain skeptical—especially given…

The late spring scenario of a massive GOP win—in historic proportions analogous to 1938, 1994, or 2010—is said now to be “iffy.” The left boasts that it now has a chance at keeping the House, with even better odds for maintaining control over the Senate. Polls are all over the place. Now they show generic…

When President George H.W. Bush nominated U.S. Appeals Court Judge Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court in 1991, Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa both served on the Senate Judiciary Committee. They still serve there today. But Leahy, who is 82, is not running for reelection this year….

The world watched a year ago as Taliban fighters stormed the presidential palace to seize power again in Afghanistan. The swift fall of Kabul came as a shock to many Americans, who for days were told by President Joe Biden and his administration that the capital city remained secure, and that the U.S.-trained Afghan army…

I wrote a column in 2011, as the presidential politics of the upcoming year were starting to unfold, with the headline “Why 2012 looks a lot like 1860.” The deep fracturing of the American electorate—remember the tea party?—leading up to the 2012 presidential election was starting to look like what happened in the presidential election…

Many leftists tout Canada’s socialized health care system as something America should emulate, claiming government-run health care is more humane. But it seems Canadian officials are more interested in urging doctors to help patients to kill themselves than to treat them.   America’s neighbor to the north has some of the most permissive euthanasia laws in…

Over the past several decades, the federal government has exercised unprecedented control over aspects of American life that our Founders never intended—including your personal medical decisions. As a life-long job creator and small business owner, I know the dangers of an intrusive government. Regulators in the executive branch don’t know what it takes to develop…

In its staring contest with human biology, did the American Academy of Pediatrics just blink? For years, the academy has been a booster for the school-to-sterilization pipeline for kids struggling with their sexed bodies—to the dismay of at least some of its 67,000 members. Of course, the American Academy of Pediatrics and other partisans camouflage…

Of all the institutions that have become radicalized in the last couple of years, the realm of medicine is perhaps the most disturbing. What will our society look like when you can’t trust the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or even your doctor? Dr. Anthony Fauci announced Monday that he will step down in…

Philadelphia residents and taxpayers, represented by the Thomas More Society, sued the city for funding abortions in violation of Pennsylvania law. Earlier this month, on Aug. 4, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, announced the city would provide $500,000 to the Abortion Liberation Fund of Pennsylvania, a group that pays for abortions. “Abortion is health care no matter where…
