When I joined the U.S. Navy reserves in 2012, I swore an oath to “bear true faith and allegiance” to the U.S. Constitution. Since then, I’ve met sailors from all across America, and nearly all of them come from backgrounds very different from mine. The Navy is a truly diverse organization, so it’s natural that…

President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan” was passed under the guise of responding to COVID-19. In reality, less than 10% of the bill was for public health. The massive “stimulus” package was stuffed with partisan special-interest payoffs for liberal priorities and other wasteful spending. Significantly, the law will spend nearly $1.9 trillion without…

In his first prime-time speech as president, Joe Biden stated Thursday night that our nation is in “one of the darkest periods in American history” and “the only way to get our lives back, to get our economy on track, is to beat the virus.” This also was a common statement made during his campaign….

Our dominant media’s celebration of transgender people must inevitably include the distorted sounds of our tastemakers becoming transfixed by trans fiction. Exhibit A is a new novel titled “Detransition, Baby” by trans woman Torrey Peters. It’s published by One World, an imprint of Random House. “The mission of ONE WORLD,” its website says, “is to…

On the floor of the U.S. Senate, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., delivered an impassioned speech Tuesday that was critical of Amazon’s censorship of a book that expresses a widely held, commonsense view of gender. A lightly edited transcript follows. Most Americans know that there are two sexes, male and female, and that sex is rooted in…

Today, we live in a society where we seem to sprint from one manufactured cultural outrage to the next. The goal posts seem to keep moving regarding what’s appropriate and what’s not, and frankly, it’s quite exhausting. But that’s what the left wants: a numbing of traditional virtues and the degrading of the conservative values…

Abuse of any kind must be condemned and stopped wherever it is found. Sadly, two bills that are currently being considered in Congress—intended to prevent and treat child abuse and violence against women—will only further contribute to the abuse of children and women in America. How so? Consider the Stronger Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment…

The Democrats’ COVID-19 spending bill, which would cost taxpayers nearly $2 trillion, includes $360 billion of new funds available for state and local governments, in addition to more than $170 billion for schools and colleges.  Governors should reject these federal bailouts because they will make cutting taxes harder and make growing the size and scope of government easier.    Not only that, but states simply do not need these funds. In 2020, 23 states experienced increases in revenue compared to 2019. Even…

Even before the Senate considers the so-called Equality Act passed by the House, it’s important to realize just how pervasive (and harmful) transgender ideology already has become in society. It will only become more so if the bill becomes law. Here are three examples of the impact of the transgender worldview on young people, in sports, and in medicine. 1. UK Case of…

This week, Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced it would stop the sale and distribution of six classic volumes from the great children’s author. Those volumes, said the company, violate its commitment to “messages of hope, inspiration, inclusion, and friendship.” The books include portrayals of people “in ways that are hurtful and wrong.” Society has long held…
