The radical abortion lobby, feeling left out of recent Democratic primary debates, spent the lead-up to Tuesday night's debate demanding moderators "#AskAboutAbortion." It's a fair point that the topic has gone mostly unaddressed.
Barack Obama just gave his official, formal, all-the-weight-of-a-former-U.S.-president endorsement to Canada's prime minister, Justin Trudeau, who's seeking reelection. You know, the guy who just weeks ago acknowledged donning blackface and brownface as recently as 2001?
Teachers in Chicago, where their median pay is $75,000, have called for a strike for more money, lower health care costs and smaller class sizes -- all while leaving 300,000 district school children in limbo. This is not about "justice," or the students. This is about teachers, at the promptings of union heads, getting more for themselves.
Democrats, who've done nothing but call for impeachment since 2016, who've done nothing but stage an "impeachment inquiry" that allows them to skirt normal processes of transparency while keeping the "I-word" alive and fresh in the press, have suddenly decided they don't need no stinkin' vote.
In sports, the reward is often sweeter the longer the delay.
This week's ridiculous Democratic presidential debate in Ohio sought to shoehorn 12 candidates onto one stage for nearly three hours.
Politics is a mean competition, one that makes pro football look like two-hand touch by comparison. The game on the gridiron, at least, has rules meant to ensure a level playing field. Not so with the contest currently underway in Washington in which Democrats are using every trick at their disposal to knock out the opposing party's star player. Americans are witnessing the savaging of their president, and the quiet voice of conscience says it's fundamentally unfair.
There is an old saying: "A leopard does not change its spots." True. The Democrats will not change their spots, either. We were lied to about the philanderings of President Kennedy. We were lied to by President Clinton. We were lied to by President Obama (and Nancy Pelosi) about Obama's so-called health-care law. Harry Reid lied about the Republican presidential candidate. Hillary Clinton lied to us about the deaths of our people in North Africa and her emails. Cory Booker lied about a Supreme Court justice candidate's behavior. Joe Biden lied about talking with his son on the job for influence exchange. Adam Schiff lied about the Mueller report and what President Trump did.
Remember Weston A. Price? He was the dentist who traveled the world in the early part of the 20th century to decipher the influence of diet on dental health ("Who says you can't eat red meat? Food advice questioned anew," Web, Oct. 13). Price searched for vegan cultures, but all he found were cannibals — they ate the livers of the omnivores they killed. He never found any pure carnivores, either. The mostly carnivorous stockpiled various plants for those long periods when nothing but animal foods were available. So you might view the human food spectrum as bracketed by vegans and carnivores, neither of which actually existed as part of human evolution.
Beginning in 2002, secret "black site" CIA detention facilities were established in several allied countries, where more than 100 al Qaeda prisoners were confined, and subjected to a variety of interrogation methods.
In the snows of New Hampshire, yet another American president could emerge pledging to fix Washington -- the political gridlock and the pervasive influence of "evil" special interests and K Street lobbyists.
Harold Bloom died this week. He was 89 years old and still teaching, writing and thinking, thinking, thinking all the time.
It can be inexplicable to witness the behavior of liberals as they appear fixated on their hatred for President Trump and conservatives in general and their apparent need to constantly publicly declare it.
Depending on the polls you read and how you read them, nearly half of those surveyed want the House impeachment inquiry of President Trump to continue.
House Democrats recently unveiled H.R. 3, a sweeping proposal that would impose a slew of ill-considered price controls on prescription drugs -- and a virtual death knell on innovation
The 70th anniversary of the triumph of the Red Chinese Revolution would be a terrible time for China to be shown as a brutally repressive domestic regime with the whole world watching on television and through social media.
Impeachment is always constitutional if it originates in the House and if its basis is arguably for treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
A little over 40 years ago, Chinese Communist strongman and reformer Deng Xiaoping began 15 years of sweeping economic reforms. They were designed to end the disastrous, even murderous planned economy of Mao Zedong, who died in 1976.
"We're not here solving the world's problems. We're here playing a baseball game. Some of you guys have done it since you were 3, 4 years old. So just go out there and have fun." That was Dave Martinez, telling his players to enjoy the moment. Players heard him, and so, for that matter, did Nationals fans.
Steve Prater can recall only one time in more than 30 years as a PGA professional that he refused payment for a golf lesson. Lanto Griffin doesn't know where he would be without it.
