Left-wing Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador recently praised a visiting President Joe Biden: “Just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the United States. Forty million who were born here in Mexico, [or] who are the children of people who were born in Mexico.” Why wouldn’t Lopez Obrador be delighted? Since Biden took office…
School districts across the country have established diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, offices to reduce discrimination, and the federal Department of Education regularly touts the value of DEI programs to quell bias.

All sports fans love a good comeback story. Countless books and movies portray the underdog’s determination to overcome the odds, the naysayers, and previous defeats to return to the glory of victory. If a victory in federal court is any indication, women’s sports—and moreover, biological reality—might be this year’s comeback kids. A federal judge recently…
During his remarks Tuesday at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, John Kerry, President Joe Biden’s climate envoy, rather absurdly declared that “it’s so almost extraterrestrial to think about saving the planet.” Indeed, Kerry’s assertion sounds so alien, particularly considering the reality of how China, the world’s top polluter, has avoided paying for…
The House of Representatives in the new 118th Congress is off to a good start. In adopting a set of innovative rules governing its parliamentary deliberations, the new House Republican majority has authorized the creation of a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic with broad jurisdiction.

If an unborn baby in the United States is a girl, her chances of being born are much lower than if she were a boy. That’s because in America, only seven states ban sex-selective abortions. That’s why pro-life members of Congress have proposed the Prenatal Non-Discrimination Act, or PRENDA, which bans such abortions “undertaken for…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute each released new reports last November about abortion data for 2020, showing conflicting reports of a decrease in abortions versus a significant increase. While the lack of clarity in the number of abortions is alarming, the spread of do-it-yourself at-home abortions means that…
Friday marks the 50th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. For 49 years, Americans from across the country have traveled to the nation’s capital and called for the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v.

Can white people enjoy the fruits of another culture? To the modern leftist, the answer is simultaneously yes and no. On the one hand, leftists say white people should be subjected to endless skin-deep diversity in the media. Every TV show, movie, and video game needs to have a mathematically precise percentage of minorities, or…
An independent commission is recommending dismantling the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. But before hastily removing this important piece of American history, it would be useful to review its origins, which were, many forget, a part of the strenuous effort after the Civil War to reconcile North and South and reunite the country. That…
This week, the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee released a report calling on the city to pay every black resident $5 million and absolve all of their outstanding personal debt. Its rationale was broad—as it had to be, since California was founded as a free state: “While neither San Francisco, nor California, formally…
A very American, and very conservative, word may soon find its way back into the political lexicon: normalcy. Its return is required by the times we live in. You can’t beat something with nothing, and so when people ask, “What is your answer to woke?”, the reply may become simply, “normalcy.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis…
Friday, Jan. 20, 2023, pro-life Americans will March for Life in Washington, D.C. Hundreds of thousands will march, as they have marched since 1973. But this year, it is different. This year, the march will take place, for the first time, in an America where Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the…
With reports that classified documents were found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania, questions arise about the potential connection between the university’s receipt of $54 million in Chinese donations and President Joe Biden’s promotion of energy policies that are strengthening China’s economy at the expense of…
The Food and Drug Administration has permanently changed its restrictions on abortion drugs. Following an official rule change in early January, women no longer need to see a doctor in person to be prescribed chemical abortion pills. The move, according to OB-GYN Dr. Ingrid Skop, is opening women up to the “Wild West” of abortion. …
What do we know—so far, at least—about the Biden classified documents situation? The information provided to the public has come from people who work for, or are otherwise close to, President Joe Biden and has been filtered selectively through a media largely predisposed to protect the president. According to Bob Bauer, who is Biden’s…
