The American Civil Liberties Union is teaming with influencer and former Ohio State University student Guy Christensen to sue the school for expelling him for a video post that appeared to celebrate the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers. The staffers, Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, were shot to death in Washington, D.C., on May…
A rarely discussed aspect of Obamacare, one that appeared to give states an “exit strategy” to avoid provisions of the health care law, is likely to become more widely known next year. But while states led by Democrat governors are beginning to see “innovation waivers” as a way to change their health care systems—and move…
Democrats on the North Carolina Supreme Court are once again showcasing the Left’s unusual brand of “democracy.” First, the court voted on party lines to seize power to redraw the state’s congressional maps to the advantage of Democrats. Then it concocted a mechanism to declare voter-passed constitutional amendments unconstitutional, putting a voter ID amendment in…
President Joe Biden has nominated U.S. Circuit Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. Who is Jackson? What is her judicial philosophy?

After a gunman killed three students last month at Michigan State University, the campus was quickly awash in cries for more gun control. It wasn’t long before the Rock, a campus monument long used by students as a free canvas for promoting school events and social issues, became a focal point of pro-gun control messaging….
I’d hated guns since I was a teenager. It was a gun that killed John Lennon, after all. Guns killed President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. Get rid of the guns, problem solved—or so I thought. In December of 2012, I even tweeted President Barack Obama, urging him to repeal…
When Toni McFadden was a senior in high school, she walked through the doors of a Planned Parenthood clinic hoping to escape her unplanned pregnancy and return to life as normal.

U.S. presidents, Barack Obama in particular, have abused a 111-year-old law to grab millions of acres of private land for the government, and that has to change, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said Wednesday. Presidents have made such land grabs without regard for who lived on the acres they designated as protected, Lee said during an…
From overturning Roe v. Wade to supporting the Second Amendment and maintaining religious liberty, the Supreme Court’s recent decisions have put the left in a sour mood. The left certainly hasn’t taken the news well. Despite the left’s obsession with the notion that the right is all about “undermining democracy,” the left has shown little…
The FBI revoked the security clearance of an employee after asking colleagues questions–under threat of discipline–about his support for former President Donald Trump and views on the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a complaint to the Justice Department’s internal watchdog. The employee attended the rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington before it turned into a…
It was widely reported earlier this month that London experienced a higher number of murders over the first three months of 2018 than did New York City—the first time in modern history that has occurred. The United Kingdom has some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the world, so the increased murder rate…
Now is the time for lawmakers to follow through on promises they made in their 2016 campaigns, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told the crowd Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “This election was the American people saying, ‘Enough already with the corruption in both parties, Democrats and Republicans who have been here too long,’”…
In 1903, during America’s darkest period of hate, W. E. B. Du Bois heartbreakingly affirmed his intellectual affinity with Western civilization. “I sit with Shakespeare and he winces not. Across the color line I move arm in arm with Balzac and Dumas,” Du Bois wrote in “The Souls of Black Folk.” “I summon Aristotle and…
With Congress, the Supreme Court, sports leagues, schools, and many businesses and companies across America shutting down, only time will tell if we are being appropriately cautious or engaging in a hysterical overreaction to coronavirus. But for those imaginative reporters who see a Russian lurking behind every tree and keep asking me if President Donald Trump can…
Although he did not heed the myriad calls for him to step down by liberal groups at the end of last term, Justice Stephen G. Breyer, 83, reportedly will retire from the U.S. Supreme Court at the end of this term, leaving a vacancy for President Joe Biden to fill as Democrats maintain a slim…
The federal government coordinated with an array of entities to censor Americans’ speech online, a newly released report from the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government shows.

Earlier this month, the Senate approved the 2021 United States Innovation and Competition Act, which includes a significant trade amendment called the Trade Act of 2021.

President Joe Biden on Monday announced a proposed federal budget for fiscal year 2023 that includes a wish list of leftist policy proposals as well as an unprecedented tax on unrealized gains. To Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., Biden’s budget fails to help Americans deal with exploding inflation and doubles down on the deficit spending that…
Last year, a radical abortion ballot initiative passed in the solid red state of Ohio, shocking pro-lifers across the country. The results weren’t even close: 56.78% of Ohio voters backed a ballot initiative to write “reproductive rights” into the state constitution, while only 43.22% opposed it. How did it happen? The Left’s dark money network…
What price would you put on a constitutional amendment allowing abortion right up to the moment a baby is about to be born? What about giving your local police the authority to conduct warrantless searches of your home simply because you are on a list of people who purchased a legal consumer product? Well, if…
