Rise up: 9/11, twenty years on
In the days immediately following the horrific attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, a poem was left at a makeshift memorial near Ground Zero in New York. It began simply, "You rushed up the stairs of the towers, as we rushed down ..."
Ivermectin is just a tool. Stop demonizing it
"Is ivermectin really that bad?" My unsatisfying answer is it's neither good nor bad, dangerous nor safe. It's just another tool in the toolbox of MDs and DVMs.
Twenty years later: Staying prepared after 9/11
My generation grew up in the shadow of September 11th.
What do D.C. students know?
Do D.C. students benefit from D.C. education reforms? D.C. teachers can't answer the question. They don't know.
George Soros meddles in America again
Nikole Hanna-Jones, the creator of the "1619 Project," has now founded a "1619 Freedom School" to teach America's most vulnerable, the K-12 minds, to hate the land of the free. And guess who funded the propaganda training ground? Yep. George Soros.
No working man's president
Joe Biden is clearly of the elitist class of hoity-toity progressives, as are his media acolytes who cover for his mistakes and (not surprisingly) their own. A successful politician must master the skill of retrospective rationalization by changing his story when mistakes occur, and he or she must do so without shame, as naturally as a snake sheds its skin. Progressive group think will provide all the cover their presidential pal requires, for both are part of the squirearchy, a sycophancy of upper-crusters, wealthy hangers-on and other inhabitants of Dante's various circles of hell.
Biden a hypocrite
President Biden professes to be a practicing Catholic, but I find this very hard to believe. The Catholic church opposes all forms of abortion. The Catholic faith holds that a baby's life must be protected beginning at the moment of conception. Last week, when commenting on the new Texas abortion law, Biden made it clear he no longer believes that life begins at conception.
Trump was never the problem
"Frontline" on PBS is of the highest standards, except when it isn't. This means that if the premises are correct, the reporting is insightful; however, sometimes, if the event being covered happened too recently, the focus is misplaced. A good example is "America after 9/11", broadcast this week.
LOVERRO: 'Are you not entertained?' Yes Maximus, we are, so add a 17th game
There is no honest "data" that says the danger isn't going to go up when players, who are at risk every time they step on the field, are asked to play one more game. Ask factory workers who work 50 hours a week or more instead of 40.
Recall Newsom, rescue California
If the most recent poll on the Sept. 14 gubernatorial-recall election in California is to be believed, a majority of voters there approve of Gov. Gavin Newsom's job performance and are set to leave him in office.
Two simple steps to improve accuracy of government information
Everywhere there's talk about the spread of misinformation.
The Texas heartbeat law is pro-woman
In 2013, pro-abortion researchers at a pro-abortion organization did a study, funded by pro-abortion foundations, to discover what happens to women who want an abortion but can't get one.
Sept. 11, 2001: One White House correspondent's inside account
On Sept. 11, 2001, I slept in -- all the way until 7 a.m.
Texas, abortion, and the Constitution
Last week, this column addressed state nullification and secession under the U.S. Constitution. Last week, the Supreme Court revived the concept of nullification.
Liz Cheney has betrayed Wyoming
When Rep. Liz Cheney "fist bumped" President Joe Biden as he entered the House of Representatives in May, it exemplified everything that has gone wrong with her in the last couple of years.
The next terrorist attack: It's not a matter of if, it's when
For 20 years since Sept. 11, 2001, U.S. presidents have been saying their anti-terrorism policies have worked, as evidenced by no new attacks on America.
The politicization of the COVID-19 vaccination
In late August, Delta Air Lines announced that all its unvaccinated COVID-19 workers would have to pay a $200 monthly health insurance surcharge.
'Devout' Biden using Catholicism as a political tool
If the question about preserving innocent human life ever crossed President Biden's mind concerning the Texas law, he made sure no one knew about it.
In the post 9/11 world, good intelligence has proven more vital than ever
On the morning of September 11, 2001, my then-CIA colleague Rob was in Manhattan on the subway, headed to a 9 a.m. meeting in the World Trade Center. At 8:46 a.m., moments before he exited the subway, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the Center's North Tower.
