I was never attracted to the same sex. Gender dysphoria is about identity, not sexual orientation. I was plenty interested in girls and dating, but once engaged, I had to explain to my fiancee about my gender confusion.
Does the president seriously believe Mr. Erdogan will bow to threats from one he likely considers an "infidel" leader of the "great Satan," as another Islamist state, Iran, has called us?
I don't know Sen. Bernie Sanders. What I do know is that he is 78 years old with a prior medical history of gout and high cholesterol. Now I also know that he has heart disease, like 15 million other Americans.
President Trump's decision to withdraw the troops caused a firestorm among those in Congress who like war and those who believe that the United States should be using our military amply in the Middle East to help our friends and oppose our foes.
Social media is making us dumber, meaner and more cocooned than ever before while at the same time feeding us the illusion of being in the right.
Nobody knows how many victims suffer as sex slaves in America. We know that the number is substantial. And that it's intolerable. We know how to put an end to this shameful condition.
Mark Cuban, the wildly successful entrepreneur, charming host of CNBC's "Shark Tank," and owner of the Dallas Mavericks is no shrinking violet. Mr. Cuban has an opinion on, well, everything. College? He's against it. NBA officiating? It stinks. President Donald Trump? He's awful.
In a world of drug-using, steroid-cheating, wife- and girlfriend-beating, alcohol-abusing obnoxious, entitlement-minded professional athletes comes New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis, with a talk the talk, walk the walk example of how to go bold for -- get this -- God. Gotta love this. He's a John 1:5 in action.
The prospect of President Trump being impeached by the House of Representatives should not be surprising to people. Counter to conventional wisdom, this impeachment does not expose a corrupt president. Instead, it reveals the rot at the core of an establishment willing to abuse the system to overturn an election.
Mickelson is running out of time to show why U.S. captain Tiger Woods should pick him for the Presidents Cup. At stake is a streak that is unlikely to be matched. Mickelson has played on 24 consecutive Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams, qualifying for 20 of them. The last time he wasn't on a team was 1993, the year Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth were born.
A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic, Joseph Stalin is reputed to have observed. (And as one of the most prolific murderers of the 20th century, Old Joe should have known of what he spoke.) Likewise, losing 20 or even 100 bucks is deeply annoying. But losing $1 trillion? Why, that's mere statistic — indeed, to us mere mortals, $1 trillion is an unfathomable amount.
I am an 81-year-old former Redskins fan. I say "former" because I no longer expect to see the organization field a well-coached team of professional players, and therefore I don't much care anymore when they lose. Saving this franchise will require more than just replacing the coach.
Over the past week, I have been mulling over the lies being sprinkled into the unvarnished truth of the actions of the Trump administration. Those lies are the promises the adamant Democrats and some ambivalent Republicans have made to us voters. They will not get our votes again.
Liberals suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) have a whole new theory: President Trump is Joker.
The Washington Area Bus Transformation Project issued a comprehensive report last month that laid out a multi-pronged approach for improving the performance and utilization of the area's buses. The report calls for redesigned routes, new buses, traffic signal improvements and a variety of other complicated, costly investments that most area jurisdictions will be reluctant to make.
The answers to the environmental challenges of the 21st Century aren't top-down mandates or exploiting teenaged pawns for manipulating swing voters.
What is going on in the Women's Studies Programs, the Black Studies Programs, the Vegetarian Studies Programs, and all the other non-studies programs that have taken over from the humanities and rendered university life so trivial?
For more than 40 years, George Will has been producing erudite political commentary. Most often, I find myself agreeing with the arguments presented in his twice-weekly columns for The Washington Post. When I don't, I have to wrack my brains to figure out why, and how I might frame a cogent dissent.
The NBA's ridiculous actions make it just the latest in a long line of huge American companies that have been forgoing freedom of speech in order to kowtow to the restrictions of the Chinese government.
Only 3 months old, Democrats' presidential race already seems too long. Expect it to get a lot longer. Even though trends have clearly emerged, they will not play out quickly.
