Northam’s Nonsense
As you know, Big League Politics broke a huge story late Friday. It discovered that Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s (D) 1984 medical school yearbook page featured two men — one in blackface and one in KKK robes. What transpired next was one of the most bizarre examples of crisis management I have ever seen.
Democrats’ Move Toward Socialism Isn’t Sitting Well With Their Base
Most would agree that since the election of Donald Trump, things have been crazier than ever, or at least crazier than they have been in recent memory. The Left regards Trump as whacko, even as its own policies push the boundaries of radicalism.

Ralph Northam deserves his current friendless state.
Moore, Kavanaugh, Northam: The Left’s Assault on Repentance

Slaughter of the Innocents Reaches New Depths
The uproar over New York State’s Reproductive Health Act, which allows late-term abortions performed by “health-care practitioners” when the “patient is within 24 weeks from the commencement of pregnancy, or there is an absence of fetal viability or the abortion is necessary to protect the patient’s life or health” should come as no surprise.
Donald Trump’s Monetary Vindication
Well, what do you know! It turns out that amateur economist Donald J. Trump knows more about sound monetary policy than Fed chairman Jerome Powell and his team of hundreds of Ph.D. economists.
‘Choice’ Words for Infanticide
She sat in the dirty utility room, rocking him back and forth. He was tiny, barely 10 inches long when the doctors delivered him. His parents didn’t want to hold him, she was told. So for 45 minutes — the only 45 minutes he would have on earth — Jill cradled him, watching his chest rise and fall.

An Aborted Life: The Thoughts and Dreams of Baby Annie
It was the period before Time — better known as Eternity Past. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit opened the Book of Life. In it they wrote down her name. Annie.
New York and Virginia Extremes
Virginia borrowed a page from New York and proposed legislation that would remove certain restrictions on third-trimester abortions. The opinion of only one, not three, doctors would be needed to authorize women to decide to have a third-trimester abortion.
‘Socialized Medicine Is a Keystone to the Establishment of a Socialist State’
“Nazi” is the abbreviation of National Socialist Workers’ Party. Its leader was Adolph Hitler, who became Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Hitler began implementing a plan of universal healthcare, with no regard for conscience.
Gov. Northam, Step Down and Let the Healing Begin
As a young girl growing up in Virginia, I experienced racism firsthand. I know what it looks like and how it feels. I’ve also spent a good part of my life defending the rights of preborn children to live and love among us. It’s my personal mission to fight for and defend the value and dignity of human life.
Bill Weld’s True North Is That He Has No True North
I voted for Bill Weld in the 1990s, when he ran as a Republican for governor of Massachusetts. I voted for him in 2016, when he was the Libertarian nominee for vice president on a ticket with another former governor, Gary Johnson of New Mexico.
The Leftists’ War on Science
I’m sure I’m not the only person who has noticed that despite those on the Left always claiming to be highly intelligent and ruled by scientific fact...
