Whatever information Powell, Rudy Giuliani and the rest of Trump's legal team have, they need to drop it soon if they want it to matter.
What we are seeing is media manipulation of public opinion and events, tied directly to the political objectives of the Democratic Party.
A stolen election is a shallow victory and a temporary one.
One major factor complicating the COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. is our obesity rate.
Americans who voted for Donald Trump have been on the receiving end of nothing but derision from the coastal elites, while we have watched them defend — and engage in — behavior that most of us find indefensible.
Other than despising Trump — and being willing to do anything to get rid of him — what does it stand for?
Katie Hill was accused of sexually exploiting a young female employee, but her behavior is being spun as the triumphant story of a victimized underdog.
I've been thinking a great deal about the close friendship between Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It puzzled — and sometimes even infuriated — their followers, but it is a model we should all follow, especially now.
A culture that presents children as sexual objects is a culture that exploits them for adult gratification.
"Con" in this context is slang for "confidence game" — an effort to deceive or defraud someone, usually out of money or property. Dictionary.com defines a "long con" this way: "an elaborate confidence game that develops in several stages over an extended period of time wherein the con man or swindler gains the victim's trust, often bypassing small profits with the goal of reaping a much larger payout in the final maneuver."
Some years ago, Immaculee Ilibagiza wrote "Left to Tell," a poignant memoir about her experiences hiding during the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Over a period of three months during spring and summer that year, Rwandans of Hutu ethnicity slaughtered somewhere between 800,000 and a million Rwandans of Tutsi and Twa ethnicity.
Both during their conventions and outside of them, the Democratic and Republican Parties have shown the American public two visions of our country. And the contrast could not be starker.
College students are not adults. There. I said it. To be clear, I am not referring to "re-entry" students, those who enroll after working for some years, or after serving in the military. I am referring to the "traditional" college student — i.e., the 18- or 19-year-old who attends college right out of high school.
Late last week, Thomas Friedman published an opinion piece in The New York Times titled "Beirut's Blast Is a Warning for America." The subhead says, "In this country, as in Lebanon, everything is now politics." Friedman intones ominously, "(W)hen everything is politics, everything is just about power. There is no center, only sides; no truth, only versions; no facts, only a contest of wills."
Gaps in education can have serious implications for years to come.
I watched director Agnieszka Holland's award-winning film "Mr. Jones" this week. It's truly outstanding, a quiet masterpiece about the young Welsh journalist Gareth Jones who risked his life to expose what is now called the Holomodor, the 1932-33 famine in Ukraine caused by the collectivist policies of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
The Marxist agitators are out in force, chomping at the bit to bring about the destruction of the American way of life. They're certain they're going to get it right this time, exploiting (again) civil unrest and widespread concerns about injustice.
We cannot allow ourselves to be distracted by the "little crimes" and utterly overlook the larger movement afoot that threatens all Americans' liberty and prosperity.
The last few weeks have provided plenty of support for the political positions traditionally espoused by conservatives. Some of the evidence is so painfully obvious it's hard to believe there could be any dispute about it. And yet, disputes there are. In fact, the divisions in this country seem deeper than ever.
