Joe Biden was an advocate for outsourcing critical U.S. industry to China
We haven't heard much lately from former Vice President Joe Biden who, practically everyone presumes, will be facing off against Donald J. Trump later this year. The coronavirus pandemic has allowed him to fly pretty much below the radar ever since he dispatched Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from the race just about eight weeks ago.
Racialist obsessions and Trump Derangement Syndrome void Pulitzers
If any more evidence was needed that America's major media are reflexively un-American, this year's Pulitzer Prizes should put that to rest.
Trump must strengthen sanctions against Iran and warn allies about arms sales
America must make clear to its allies and friends that a resumption of arms sales to Iran will be a profound breach of trust and will have economic consequences for those who would.
Time to show extra compassion
Ramazan (Ramadan in Turkish) is a time of extending a hand of mercy and compassion to those in need. During these very difficult times, we, the Turkish-American community, have been showing just such compassion to our health care providers, first responders and food pantries.
Elected officials abuse of power keeps citizens away from work and church
The core of our freedom dangles by a single strand of thread as governors and other elected leaders shred the rights our forebears enshrined in the first amendments to the Constitution.
Men can be abuse victims, too
It is good to help survivors of domestic abuse and to fund anti-violence programs. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) needs some revision, but not necessarily the kind envisioned by House Democrats ("Police, advocates: Strict stay-at-home orders put domestic violence victims in tougher situation," Web, May 6).
Post-coronavirus sports likely to have little room for spitting
Already banned on sidewalks, outlawed indoors and pooh-poohed by polite society, that gob of saliva and Lord-knows-what-else is done mucking up sports. In the wake of the new coronavirus, teams are revoking the germ-landing privileges that turned dugouts, benches, boxing rings and even grass fields into potential biohazard sites.
COVID-19 puts spotlight on science -- but scientists often lie
We can beat COVID-19 -- just trust the science, we're told. Trust in the scientists, we're told. Well and good. Fine and dandy. But fact is, scientists often lie. Science isn't always the beacon toward truth. It's not just frequently flawed; it's frequently deceptive. And purposely so.
Okie wisdom is pure gold
The bottom line for us in Oklahoma is that we are a people of hard work and hard truths. We try our best to model both of these virtues in thought, word and deed as we go about our daily lives.
Postal Service doesn't need a bailout; it needs new leadership and new thinking
Mr. Trump is convinced the Postal Service is undercharging shippers and doesn't need gigantic bailouts to be profitable. And he's about to put his theories to the test.
Hillary Clinton, sexual misconduct apologist and now Joe Biden endorser
Just as the pressure on Joe Biden to finally address the sexual assault allegation against him was reaching a crescendo, he received the inevitable endorsement of his party's foremost apologist for sexual misconduct.
How we prevented COVID-19 cases at Liberty University
Looking back over our plan to prevent COVID-19 cases at Liberty University while simultaneously prioritizing the needs of students who lacked the resources and accommodations to weather the storm, we seemed to have struck the perfect balance.
Illinois governor a mind-boggling blot to religious freedom
The governor of Illinois -- the Democratic governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker -- made an astonishing announcement just recently that went like this: Due to Covid-19, churches may have to remain closed for a year. A year. Dear Churches of America: This is why you don't cave to government -- ever. Give an inch, government takes a mile.
Coronavirus: What if we never closed for business?
When the coronavirus began to spread all over the United States, the reaction was different from state to state. The decisions being made by governors and state legislatures were not always consistent with the message coming out of the CDC and the coronavirus task force in Washington. Different rules and restrictions applied depending on where you lived.
Southern California sheriff takes heroic stand for citizen freedom
A sheriff in Southern California, Chad Bianco of Riverside County, told local supervisors earlier this week that he wouldn't enforce stay-at-home orders because, get this, he thinks citizens can think for themselves. Move over, doctors. Step aside, nurses. Bianco is much more a real hero -- not just someone doing his job
Travel, tourism could take years to recover from COVID-19
The roads, seas and skies are less traveled these days, as the travel and tourism industry hear the incredible sucking sound of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Did COVID-19 prevent World War III? Or did the virus prepare us for it?
For months after the attacks of 9/11, when people would be asked, "What did you learn?" they invariably responded, "Spend more time with family." That answer has reverberated in my mind throughout these two months of idyllic scenes of parents and children jumping on trampolines, riding bicycles and walking dogs.
Mother's Day brings grateful thoughts of the women who fuel America's strength
Nothing is stronger, more resilient or more beautiful than the American mother.
Right bears brunt of blame
The political left's hatred toward President Trump is becoming increasingly destructive. Leftist politicians have abandoned negotiation, compromise and humility. They are determined to change and cast America into their mold -- and design no matter how often they need to trample on the Constitution to achieve this end.
