‘Moderate’ Democrat Twists Christian Compassion to Defend Transgender ‘Treatments’
By[email protected] February 11, 2026April 22, 2026

As medical associations are reconsidering transgender “medicine” for minors, Democrats—even “moderate” ones like Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear—seem to be missing the memo. Just a few days after a jury awarded $2 million in damages to a detransitioner woman who underwent surgery at 16, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons subsequently recommended against surgeries for…

US Olympic Athletes Trash-Talking USA? Didn’t Megan Rapinoe Teach Them Nothing?
By[email protected] February 11, 2026April 22, 2026

When it comes to the Olympics, certain things are no-brainers. Don’t ski jump in high heels. Don’t do mixed doubles curling with an ex-spouse. Don’t do a two-man luge with JB Pritzker on top. I would add, “Don’t trash the nation you’re there to represent.” Apparently, several members of Team USA don’t have brains. It…

By[email protected] February 11, 2026April 22, 2026

Last week’s hearing in the Charlie Kirk murder case was a legal harbinger of things to come. As we await Utah State trial Judge Tony Graf’s written decision later this month on whether or not to recuse the Utah County Attorney’s Office from the capital murder case against Tyler Robinson, it’s becoming more evident that…

Democrats’ Demographic Doom Spiral Has No Exit
By[email protected] February 10, 2026April 22, 2026

President Donald Trump isn’t just deporting illegal immigrants. He’s deporting the people Democrats need to offset their demographic challenges. The Census Bureau recently released updated population figures through June 2025. The country grew slightly, but that growth wasn’t equally distributed. Many red states, like South Carolina, Idaho, and Texas, grew significantly. In just one year,…

Florida Should Reject Expanded Food Disparagement Laws
By[email protected] February 9, 2026April 22, 2026

Florida has earned a reputation for pushing back against failed public health dogma and leading the way to a healthier America. Led by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the executive branch has taken steps praised by the MAHA community: challenging widespread vaccine mandates, increasing transparency, and advocating patient choice.

By[email protected] February 9, 2026April 27, 2026

Victor Davis Hanson returns to weigh the balancing act Vice President JD Vance faces in a potential 2028 run in weeding out antisemitism from within the Republican Party without alienating disenfranchised white males who have been misled.

Lessons From Portugal for European Conservatives
By[email protected] February 9, 2026April 22, 2026

When an election produces results not seen in decades, it is a shock to the system. Andre Ventura’s second-place finish in the first round of the Portuguese presidential election was just such a shock. The leader of the national populist Chega party broke through the previous duopoly of the Social Democratic Party and the Socialist…

Modern Science Is Smart Public Policy for a Healthy Nation and Economy
By[email protected] February 9, 2026April 22, 2026

The news two weeks ago from the National Institutes of Health could be downplayed as a tidbit of politics by the Trump administration around the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court abortion decision. But that would be missing the larger import of the statement by NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya about the agency’s decision to end…

Pollsters Don’t Ask If Anti-ICE Activists Have ‘Gone Too Far’
By[email protected] February 8, 2026April 22, 2026

The unrest in Minneapolis has died down, and the Trump administration is pulling 700 immigration enforcement officers out of the area. But all of the national media scrutiny has obsessed over Team Trump. It has rarely acted to “hold government accountable” when the governing comes from Democrats, like Gov. Tim Walz or Minneapolis Mayor Jacob…

Is This the End of Transgender Hysteria?
By[email protected] February 8, 2026April 22, 2026

A few years ago, things looked pretty bleak for skeptics of transgenderism—those of us who have great compassion for those afflicted by what the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” long referred to as the “disorder” of gender dysphoria, but who refuse to accept the lie that a man can become a woman or…

The Supreme Court’s Golden Opportunity to Eviscerate Climate Lawfare
By[email protected] February 8, 2026April 27, 2026

Climate alarmism has lost at the ballot box time and time again, and last year, even Bill Gates significantly dialed down his support for it. However, enterprising lawyers on the Left are still trying to smuggle in an effective carbon tax through the courts—and the Supreme Court should put an end to it. It works…

Don’t Cry for The Washington Post, It Helped Destroy Media
By[email protected] February 7, 2026April 22, 2026

In December of 2016, The Washington Post reported that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electricity grid through a Vermont utility company, leaving millions without heat. This was serious stuff. President Barack Obama, the paper ominously noted, was concerned that Moscow might also “disrupt the counting of votes on Election Day, potentially leading to a…

Portland’s Journey From Symbol of Chic to Shabby
By[email protected] February 7, 2026April 22, 2026

In December, bestselling author and humorist David Sedaris wrote a New Yorker magazine essay about a recent trip to Portland, Oregon. While on a walk to a donut shop, he “lost count of the strung-out addicts I passed on my way” before eventually encountering four homeless people huddled around an empty baby carriage and smoking drugs…

Boys vs. Girls
By[email protected] February 7, 2026April 22, 2026

Am I sexist? I think there are differences between men and women—traits beyond obvious physical ones. But when I was young, feminist leaders said there were no differences. The only reason men ran most things was sexism. There was plenty of that. One example people forget: Until 1974, women couldn’t get a credit card without…
