A baptism in Connecticut a few days after Christmas was the occasion to jump into the minivan with my six youngest for a road trip. We set off a day early to visit Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Our first stop was the Norman Rockwell Museum.
Our culture doesn't respect life. You see that every day in its widespread disregard for the lives of children in the womb and in the mainstreaming of abortion by our cultural leaders, politicians and celebrities.
A decade ago, the future of Ukraine seemed clear. A post-Soviet country, it was poised to follow its neighbors' post-Cold War path of new democratic principles and shared values of its Western neighbors.
We hear incoming Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is telling those in his inner circle he's concerned about the pace of his transition.
Massachusetts announced that hospitals in the state will start to distinguish between patients who are admitted because of COVID-19 versus patients who happen to test positive for COVID-19, but have been admitted for some other health ailment. Wow. Truth-telling. What an idea.
Retired Lt. Gen. Kellogg makes some good points in "Jan. 6, 2021: My view from the White House" (Web, Jan. 6). But he also makes some glaring errors. The least (likely a typo) was his assertion that "what happened that day was not the only instance of violence in 2020 ... " But his claim that he "learned from years in the military" is laughable.
Jan. 6, 2021, was the day Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic leadership turned a peaceful protest into a partial riot by seeding the crowd with federal agents who incited a riot. They also instructed the Capitol police to stand down and let people go by, as was recorded on several videos.
The Democrats are indeed making a grave mistake by obsessively focusing on the tragic events of Jan. 6, 2021, while failing to similarly focus on other incidents of violence that many of them (e.g., Vice President Harris and Rep. Maxine Waters) explicitly encouraged ("Democrats are making a mistake focusing on Jan. 6," Web, Jan. 6).

The U.S. Supreme Court is due, in essence, to decide whether Joe Biden's presidential dictates on COVID-19 vaccines meet the smell test of the Constitution. They don't. But the fact the nation needs the high court to tell this only underscores the intense peril Americans now face.
The reporting on President Biden's approval rating is a steady-state feature of our national discourse. Right now, Mr. Biden is, depending on who you believe, anywhere from 8 to 17 points underwater.
I have been a federal employee for over 20 years. It has been a wonderful and rewarding career.
Communicating science accurately can be a risky business, as the messaging on COVID-19 can attest.
As we begin 2022, America doesn't lack for greatness. It lacks for great leadership.
The FDA was just told by a federal judge that no, it can't take 75 years to release documents showing the process of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine licensing approval -- that it has to cough up the data within eight months. That's a significant win for open-government advocates.
Our ancestors would be appalled and ashamed at the changes in the values of our present-day population. They could never have envisioned the titanic shifts that would take place away from the traditional values of our country.
The snow disaster on I-95 in Virginia this week ought to be a "teachable moment." Virginia, strangely, has two winter 'states.' The I-81 corridor through the
The recent Washington-area snowstorm and the jamb of cars on I-95 should give us all pause when it comes to Joe Biden's constant promotion of electric vehicles.
