Declaring war on drugs, again

Our forgotten national birthday

We celebrate every July 4th with fireworks, parades, speeches and other tributes. And rightly so -- our Declaration of Independence heralded a new age in human history. So why does Sept. 17 come and go with so little notice?

The Eisenhower memorial design needs a do-over

You'd think a national monument honoring President Dwight Eisenhower would be a can't-miss proposition. Unfortunately, the proposed design by architect Frank Gehry to honor the man who guided the Allies to victory in World War II is shaping up to be a failure.

Challenging the climate change bullies

A few months ago, news broke of an astounding assault on free speech. No, the media didn't present it that way, but that's how some conservatives, myself included, characterized it. And with good reason.

For many people outside of Britain, the Brexit vote came in like a typical news item. One minute, you knew nothing about it (or almost nothing), then it was all over the news. And now you see people reacting with great passion over the result.
