Attorneys for the nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom just filed a lawsuit on behalf of Cedar Park Assembly of God over a Washington state mandate passed a year ago, via Senate Bill 6219, requiring employers who provide maternity care in their group insurance plans to also cover elective abortions. Talk about bullying the believers.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, is trying to build a "brain-computer interface" -- or, in layman's, technology that can read your mind. No keyboard needed. Does anybody outside of the techno-geek crowd believe this is a good idea?
A machine that tells what's wrong with your mind does seem on the freakish-slash-frightening side of the emerging technology world.
Moldova held parliamentary elections last month, but the political fate of this Eastern European nation remains unsettled.
Sometimes you have to wonder who's in charge at Corporate Central. Certain airlines aren't being very sympathetic to customers who are nervous about flying -- no doubt unnecessarily -- on the Boeing 737 Max 8 after two of them have crashed over the past five months.
My newborn baby boy, Jesse, is 13 weeks old. I will proudly carry him with me to speak about why conservatives should bring sensible paid leave ideas to the table. Sens. Mike Lee and Joni Ernst plan to introduce the CRADLE Act, which creates a national paid leave plan for working parents like me and my husband.
Rep. Ilhan Omar's comment that the influence of the Israeli lobby in Washington pushes lawmakers to take a pledge of "allegiance to a foreign country" was bad enough. A watered-down House resolution condemning, not Omar, but "all hatred" was as tepid as denouncing drunk driving.
Because America deployed 4th generation wireless technology first, American innovation exploded across the globe. Does anyone have an Ericsson or Nokia phone anymore? The entire app market might not have been an American creation without being the first to deploy 4G.
Laws need to be few enough in number and readily understood by those they apply to in order to have an effective rule of law. The rule of law is necessary both for civil society and economic prosperity, but, unfortunately, it is being destroyed by governments that engage in endless efforts to increasingly micromanage the citizens.
In December 1943, a woman named Grace Marsh stood outside the post office in Chickasaw, Alabama, distributing religious literature. Chickasaw, a company town privately owned by the Gulf Shipbuilding Corp., arrested Ms. Marsh, a Jehovah's Witness, on trespassing charges and her case went to the U.S. Supreme Court pitting private property rights against the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
A new report from the U.S. Border Patrol proves that only the willfully ignorant can doubt that we're dealing with an immigration crisis.
President Trump's economy has been good so far, but to sustain the momentum and raise his re-election prospects he should champion policies that many Republican or Democratic members of Congress don't like, are inclined to obstruct but could be persuaded to accept.
"Reparations" is the general bad idea that descendants of slaves should in some way be compensated financially, even at this late date. This idea was once restricted to the fringes of American politics. Mainstream Democrats, like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, didn't want to have anything to do with it.
Ernest Withers was one of America's first successful black photographers. He captured stunning images of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., blues musicians like B.B. King, and Negro League stars like Satchel Paige. His coverage of the Emmett Till murder trial, one of the most notorious lynchings in Mississippi's history, brought this horrible episode into the national spotlight.
Everyone needs to remember that North Korea only has nuclear weapons because China (and to some extent Russia) allowed them to.
President Trump has never been one to back down from a fight, and according to White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, it appears he will engage Congress again and ask for $8.6 billion for funds to build the border wall.
When it comes to D.C. politics, Jack Evans is pretty much a household name, and he earned the recognition.
One moment, Brown had zero dollars in guaranteed money over the next three years, plus a dysfunctional relationship with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The next moment, Brown was headed to the Raiders with $30 million in his pocket and a coach who gushes over him.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that while the looming robotic culture is something to embrace, the flip side is dire because, after all, this country is a society that simply leaves its jobless "to die." Hmm. Wonder where all those millions taxpayers sent to food stamps and housing assistance and basic living aid went through the years.
The news last week that 74-year-old Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver is suffering from dementia and is retiring from public life shook the city of New York and Mets fans, both of whom have been given a lifetime of memories by one of the greatest right-handed hurlers to ever pick up a baseball.
