The United States incarcerates its citizens more than any other country in the world. We only have about 5% of the world's population but about 25% of the world's incarcerated population.
There have been a lot of names and faces that have passed through Washington Nationals' history since the franchise brought baseball back to Washington in 2005. Randy Knorr has seen most, if not all, of them.
"This bill is the single most dangerous bill this committee has ever considered," thundered Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz at Wednesday's hearing of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration.
Two weeks ago, I learned that I had been blacklisted in a local, private Facebook group called "Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County."
As we work to address the crisis at our southern border, U.S. government officials must not implement policies that reward or incentivize human traffickers and human smugglers.
Why would an insurance company pay a private meteorological company a fee to provide them with information when the Weather Bureau provides the information for free?
At his news conference last Thursday, President Biden said of Georgia's new voting law, "It makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle."
The "For the People Act of 2021" would severely undermine election safeguards and create an environment for ubiquitous fraud that would erode Americans' faith in the electoral process.
At the close of the 1787 Constitutional Convention, when asked what form of government the convention had provided for our new nation, Benjamin Franklin replied, "A republic -- if you can keep it."
Looks like the "Neanderthals" in Texas got it right - and President Joe Biden and the mainstream media were terribly wrong.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is "absolutely committed" to allowing journalists to tour the Border Patrol facilities to see the conditions for housing children. But why the delay? The fact that reporters are prevented at all is a red flag.
Big Tech was on the hot seat again last Thursday.
Why does Mr. Biden think it is so important to get our kids out of the house and away from their parents and get them back in school?
The Communists and Marxists of the late 1800s and early 1900s pitted the working class against the elite to divide the country and create divisions that allowed them to prevail. Today that doesn't work. So in order to create hatred and division, today's left uses race. Either way, the results will be the same. Tyranny will prevail and we the normal people will lose our rights and freedom.

COVID-19 cases in India have hit a five-month high. Not to panic. India's recovery rate is 95% (the highest in the world) and the death rate is 161 per million, one of the lowest in the world.

After witnessing President Biden's train wreck of a press conference last week, I think it's painfully clear to any rational, clear-thinking person that Mr. Biden is totally unfit for the office of the president ("Biden's press conference was elder abuse," March 25).
When Lee Iacocca took over Chrysler, he appeared in commercials to admit mistakes and promise the company had changed. It shouldn't be too much to expect Jeff Bezos to restore faith in journalism that way.
Bill Gates, Microsoft founder-turned-vaccine-developer, just came out and predicted that the world, weary as it is from the coronavirus, will see a return to complete normalcy by 2022. The proper response to that prediction, at least for Americans, is: Who the blank is Bill Gates to say?
Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld once noted: "If history has taught anything, it's that weakness is provocative. It entices people into doing things that they otherwise would not do."
