The Trump administration recently rescinded a fair housing rule adopted in the early months of the Obama administration. The so-called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule was an add-on to the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which was about preventing discrimination in the sale, rental, or financing of housing. However, like so much of the distortions that…
If at first you don’t succeed, burn down your opponent’s house. Or at least protest right outside, bringing fear and terror to the private quarters and lives of the nation’s lawmakers. That seems to be the current mantra of 2020. In a year roiled by leftist violence, with small business owners in cities across the…
President Joe Biden’s lax immigration enforcement and open borders policies made this country highly vulnerable to acts of terrorism. One of the big lessons of this weekend’s antisemitic Molotov cocktail and flamethrower attack in Boulder, Colorado, by Egyptian national Mohamed Soliman is how vulnerable we’ve made ourselves to infiltration by foreigners looking to do violence or acts of…
When North Korea announced it would be participating in this year’s winter Olympics in South Korea under a joint flag with the South, it was clear that some would attempt to “normalize” the regime. The speed at which the American media lapped up North Korean propaganda in the first weekend of the Olympics was stunning….
The Air Force can bring firepower to bear much faster than its sister services and can take out targets in the air, on land, and at sea. But just how much air power does the nation need? The National Defense Strategy directed all services to prepare for a large-scale, high-intensity conventional war with China or Russia, and…
Six months ago, William Jacobson, a professor at Cornell Law School and founder and publisher of Legal Insurrection, wrote two blog posts detailing the honest, but negative, history of Black Lives Matter. Students and faculty immediately called upon the school to take action against Jacobson for writing the posts. Jacobson joined the show on July…
Editor’s note: Why is the U.S. suddenly in the midst of a supply chain crisis? Heritage Foundation’s Tori Smith, a senior policy analyst who focuses on trade joins Tim Doescher, host of the “Heritage Explains” podcast to discuss. Watch or read an abridged and edited transcript below. Tim Doescher: So welcome. Now let’s cut right…
Last June, the Biden administration unveiled its National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. Despite its anodyne-sounding name, the national strategy was anything but anodyne. The pamphlet represented the logical culmination of the left’s cynical use of the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot as a means of ginning up large-scale, nationwide anti-Republican/anti-Trump voter sentiment. The…
On March 10, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a tweet on X stating, simply: “Free Mahmoud Khalil.” Khalil, a green card holder, is one of the organizers of the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. For two academic years those protests have terrorized Jewish students, occupied buildings, destroyed property, and injured campus employees. The Trump…
Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., is reintroducing a bill this week to end the display of LGBTQ+ pride flags on federal property, The Daily Signal has learned. The Patriotism Not Pride Act, if enacted, would “prohibit certain federal activity with respect to the promotion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month and the…
Pennsylvania is taking a page out of the Obama playbook. A state commission in Pennsylvania is attempting to impose gender ideology on residents of the state by going around the legislature. The Heritage Foundation’s Monica Burke explains. Plus: We discuss the now-infamous article written by a self-identified resistance person in the Trump administration. We also…
“That’s not fair!” It seems like we’re all born with the value of “fairness” running through our veins, as anyone who’s been around children of preschool age and older can attest. Fairness may be one of the few values left today that crosses all political, social, age, and racial demographics. It’s more of a human…
In 2019, the Trump administration issued a regulation empowering the Department of Health and Human Services to robustly enforce federal conscience-protection laws. But now, the Biden administration is proposing to gut those rules, which would ultimately leave people more vulnerable to being forced to participate in controversial procedures that violate their conscience. Here’s what you…
At Harvard University today, professors who teach Western history are history. James Hankins, a specialist in Renaissance thought, was one of the last holdouts. Now Hankins, who has just published a hefty book that teaches what Harvard doesn’t—“The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition. Vol. 1”—has decamped for the University of Florida’s Hamilton School of…
A video surfaced recently of Chinese officials herding a large group of blindfolded Uighur people onto trains in northern China. The aerial footage is reported to have been taken last year, but the details surrounding the incident are unknown. What is increasingly clear, however, is that China is carrying out horrific human rights abuses against…
Whoever leaked a Department of Homeland Security document showing that children of immigrants raised in America radicalize at a higher rate than do their parents was clearly trying to thwart the Trump administration’s vetting plans. But what the leak accomplished was to confirm that our patriotic assimilation system is broken to the point that it…
Public health officials advising governments here and abroad on the COVID-19 pandemic so far have offered shifting and tentative guidance on when and how to unwind the practice of social distancing. Asked recently when the U.S. could return to normal, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force, suggested…
I was surprised to read The Washington Post’s recent editorial concluding that pro-choice protesters had crossed the line by demonstrating in front of the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. After all, The Washington Post is not exactly a conservative or rational voice on these types of issues. Almost all the points in the editorial…
During these dark hours after the death of Charlie Kirk, Americans need to “have faith” in the Lord and “be bold,” Vice President JD Vance said Monday while hosting a special episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show.” “On a podcast a couple of months back, Charlie was asked about how he’d want to be remembered…
In the 2020 presidential election, the Left staunchly promoted voting by mail and scoffed at critics of the option. In 2024, however, Democrat and Republican election officials, as well as an inspector general, are raising concerns about whether the U.S. Postal Service is prepared for mail-in ballots. Last week, election officials from both major parties…
