The Left’s Hypocrisy Is a Tribute to Terrorism

In the Anti-Defamation League’s new report on antisemitism, published less than a week after Hamas’ horrific attacks on Israeli civilians, the group naturally ties race-based attacks to Donald Trump. Not mentioned are the campus radicals who have chased and assaulted Jewish students, nor the “Squad” members of Congress who can’t bring themselves to condemn terrorism, nor the Ivy League administrations that won’t condemn...

Coverage doesn’t equal care: ‘Obamacare’s‘ broken promises

Open enrollment has begun for the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and CNN is quick to report that despite premiums continuing to skyrocket, federal subsidies “will protect most enrollees.” But Christopher Briggs, a father in Virginia, just wants to know who’s going to protect his family from Obamacare itself. “Joe Biden ran an ad when he...

A Culture of Death, a Culture of Life

A culture of death is stalking our nation. Yet as some states work to expand assisted suicide, make abortion limitless (and free), and to ensure that children are able to be sterilized with surgeries and hormone treatments, Texas is creating—and celebrating—a culture of life. In some states, activists are working to expand physician-assisted suicide laws...

The Biden administration’s offshore wind junk heap

On the day before the federal government’s sale of offshore wind leases in the Gulf of Mexico, the tech website Electrek published an optimistic piece about the topic: “Despite headwinds, offshore wind will see ‘massive’ growth to 2032.” But the strength of those headwinds was made clear on Tuesday, when the feds received exactly zero...

Biden’s lawsuit against Texas’ border buoys doesn’t hold water

In the media coverage, a federal district judge’s admonishment of attorneys for the state of Texas on Tuesday was portrayed as a loss for Gov. Greg Abbott and his border-securing Operation Lone Star. It wasn’t. If anything, it was the Department of Justice’s case that floundered. DOJ sued Texas last month over the buoy barriers...

Texas couple sues over symbol linked to Ku Klux Klan

SAN MARCOS, TEXAS — Kristy Money and her husband, Rolf Straubhaar, had lived all over the world before they settled down into two teaching positions at Texas State University. “We wanted an old house near the school, and when we found this one, we were so excited,” says Kristy, a clinical psychologist and psychology professor. “A big part of...

Vaccine Debate Flap Shows Americans Hungry for Civil Discourse

Lost in Joe Rogan’s challenge to Baylor College of Medicine professor Dr. Peter Hotez to debate the COVID-19 vaccine debacle with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a striking truth about America today: We’re desperate for discourse. The left no longer even tries to defend its positions; it now relies on shutting down debate, silencing those who disagree...

Impeachment Is The Only Way To Check Biden’s Abuse Of Power

Constitutional impeachment prevents what the revolution sought to stop — the reign of a ruler with unchecked power. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, recently “teased” the nation — and the media — with details of a bribery scheme involving Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and a foreign national. This occurred after an IRS whistleblower testified he was removed...

OPEC just gave Biden an opening to start a new US energy boom

Just in time for summer vacation, gas prices are rising and American families are bracing for sticker shock. OPEC is doing its part to keep prices high by cutting production, and the Biden administration continues to hobble domestic production. That trip to Yellowstone National Park (or Destin, Fla., for that matter) is about to get a lot more...

A Lone Star History Buff Takes On The Woke Revisionists

Legend says that when Texas Ranger Bill McDonald stepped off a train at the site of a town in turmoil (said to be caused by a pending prizefight) in the 1890s, the townspeople were aghast that their plea for help was answered only by him. He responded, “there’s just one prizefight, isn’t there?” That’s the origin...

This is the dangerous key to Biden’s green new deal goals

If the Biden administration’s net zero green new deal goals are even to be attempted, offshore wind is the key. Particularly for the states in the northeastern United States (which unlike West Texas, don’t have miles and miles of empty prairies), green dreams must go offshore. But as Thomas Sowell tells us, there are no solutions – there...

Tailpipe Rule Is the ACA’s Individual Mandate Redux

President Biden’s “tailpipe rule,” intended to force Americans into electric vehicles, despite their own needs and preferences, is nothing new. The thinking behind it goes back to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)—and broccoli. We can’t say we weren’t warned. The subject came up before the United States Supreme Court in 2012, when the Affordable Care Act...
