Harvard ‘Drags’ Down Its Reputation
Harvard is a drag, literally. Amid its ongoing fight with President Donald Trump over whether Harvard University violated the civil rights of students and even deserves to receive millions of dollars from the American taxpayer, the school decided that it was a smart idea to hire a literal drag queen to teach courses. “Harvard University hired a drag performer… -

An Unexpected Line in the Sand
There has been talk for millennia about the wheat and the tares and the eventual separation of the two that Jesus foretold. I don’t know if that separation is happening in the ultimate sense right now, but something is happening and it is significantly unsettling. I admit, I thought any major, society-wide division would be… -

DC Bar’s Soviet-Style Show Trial of Jeffrey Clark
Soviet show trials were not just sham proceedings. The charges were often purposefully absurd, as if to communicate that it wasn’t about justice, or even retribution, just a naked demonstration of the party’s power. Bereft of any real law, punctilious attention to procedure gave the trials a phantasmagorical aspect, both farcical and terrorizing. Something similar has… -

‘Turn the Lights Back On’: Johnson Blames Schumer for Prolonged Government Shutdown

If Mamdani Wins, the Gig (Work) Is Up
One of Zohran Mamdani’s most harmful proposals is getting the least attention: his plan to restrict “gig” work—the freelancing that’s so popular across the Big Apple. Mamdani wants to wrap freelancing in so much red tape, it’ll be significantly harder for New Yorkers to work for themselves or get side income. New Jersey, too, is flirting… -

Science Affirms the Power of Prayer
It is not common for prayer to be a consistent talking point in the mainstream media. Usually, the topic concerning conversation with God is something that is reserved for churches and religious magazines. However, the shooting at a Catholic church in Minneapolis in August and the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September have created a… -

European Country Taking Conservative Approach to Immigration, Security
STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Though a fraction of the size, Sweden has faced issues similar to America’s in recent years, including mass immigration and a wave of violent crime. “In some parts of Sweden, there are routine bombings.

We Are Not OK, but There Is Hope

Talking Point vs. Truth
On X, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted, “Let me be perfectly clear: Undocumented people CANNOT AND WILL NOT receive ACA premium tax credits BY LAW. PERIOD.

The Media Are Carrying the Democrats’ Water During the Shutdown … Again
If the national media can be counted on to spin anything dramatically toward the Democrats, it’s a government shutdown. They feel passionately that the Democrats are the party of government, and the Republicans are the haters of government, so who naturally favors shutting it all down? Even before the shutdown occurred, NPR and PBS issued… -

Do the Feds Have the Goods on Comey?
Minimal details are included in former FBI Director James Comey’s indictment, but it doesn’t necessarily signal a lack of evidence. Though prosecutors face legitimate challenges to securing a conviction, some legal experts have cautioned that it is too early to really assess the strength of the government’s indictment, which charged Comey with two counts for allegedly obstructing a congressional… -

From the League of Nations to the United Nations to Trump Global?
Historians traditionally blame the failure of the League of Nations—the post-World War I, Versailles-era dream of President Woodrow Wilson—on many things. Its membership was small (58 nations). The league’s utopian rhetoric lacked commensurate force. The postwar ascendant United States refused to join. The winners of World War I, like France and Britain, were terrified of… -

Obamacare Is a Massive Failure. The GOP Shouldn’t Bail It Out.
Since Democrats have shut down the federal government because they want another $1.5 trillion bailout of Obamacare, it’s a good time to remind everyone that the law has been a wide-ranging and expensive fiasco. Virtually every promise made by Democrats regarding the Affordable Care Act has failed to come true. Sure, former President Barack Obama… -
