Withdraw the Obama Administration’s ‘Dear Colleague’ Letter on School Discipline
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL), which does great work, has written U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, urging her to withdraw an Obama-era “Dear Colleague” lettergiving school administrators “guidance” on how to comply with federal law when it comes to school discipline.
The Unfairness of Harvard
The Harvard University admissions process appears to be an ongoing microaggression against Asian-Americans.
Horowitz Report Day 5
For five days now, the shocking report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, detailing extensive political bias at the FBI, has dominated Washington, DC. As I write this, the Senate Judiciary Committee just started a hearing with Horowitz and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Obama Holdovers Sabotage Trump’s Best Aid Plans
“Victory in combat is only half of the battle,” Vice President Mike Pence said about America’s war against ISIS. He’s right. For the thousands of Christians and Yazidis who survived the horrors of the last four years, they have their lives — and not much else.
The Bad Hate the Good: The Southern Poverty Law Center Vs. Prager University
“Antifa” is to violence what the Southern Poverty Law Center is to words. In short, it is a hate group on the left.
Fake Support for a Free Market in Energy
All of a sudden, everyone on the Left wants “free markets in energy policy.” As someone who’s advocated for that for, oh, about three decades, this riff should be music to my ears. But is laissez faire energy policy really what liberals are seeking?
Bias and the Beholder
Would you consider a jihadist biased against Jews? Could a member of a white supremacist group be accused of bias against non-whites?

Church Forced to Remove ‘Anger-Provoking’ Billboards Declaring ‘America Is a Christian Nation’
Billboards promoting a celebration of faith and freedom at the First Baptist Church in Dallas were removed after complaints from Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and the Dallas Morning News.
The Inspector General’s Hillary Report
The Department of Justice inspector general’s report is out, and the spin doctors are working overtime, led by the sanctimonious, self-serving, “I did nothing wrong” op-ed in The New York Times by James Comey.
Supreme Court to Minnesota: First Amendment Rights Don’t End at the Polling Booth
With just two weeks to go until the end of its term, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky that Minnesota’s ban on so-called “political” apparel at the polls on Election Day violates the First Amendment.
Jury Duty
Rudy Giuliani got into hot water for merely stating that whereas he admires most women, he draws the line at Stormy Daniels, a slut whose entire life has been devoted to performing sex acts for the camera.

Leave Google Alone
Should the government break up Google, as it broke up Standard Oil and AT&T, for being a monopoly too big to tolerate? Let’s consider that question as we take a stroll down memory lane.
‘Pro-Life’ Label Must Be Earned at the Border
“President Trump has diligently and successfully gone about fulfilling his promises to the pro-life voters who worked so hard to elect him, and it has been a privilege to stand with him to defend the innocent unborn,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, at the group’s annual dinner about a month ago.
Congress Suffers Arthritic Knees From Genuflecting to Presidential Power
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) wonders: “Is there any doubt that America would view a foreign nation firing missiles at targets on American soil as an act of war?” His question might be pertinent to why the Singapore summit happened, and what, if anything, was changed by it. The question certainly is relevant to constitutional government as it pertains — if it still does pertain — to war.

Another Drought to Bite the Dust?
In this day and age of “everything is the worst ever,” we were supposedly seeing a Southern Plains perma drought and the start of a new dust bowl, which raises the question: Why is it man-made if there was a previous dust bowl? The 2012-2013 reversal is amazingly similar to the 1950s reversal.
Immigrate Expectations
Now that President Trump’s scored big points for his historic meeting with Kim Jong-un, his opponents are desperate to change the subject. Anxious to turn the country’s attention away from the administration’s diplomatic success, they’ve returned to an issue that the Congress has repeatedly failed to resolve — immigration.
‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’
After Thursday’s report by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz, Donald Trump’s mission to drain the swamp is more urgent than ever.
Taxes, Tariffs & Trump
I don’t claim to be an economist. But having seen and heard from far too many of them ever since Trump rattled their cage by announcing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum, I really don’t think I’d care to be one.
North Korea in Perspective
Some of this will be repetitive, but it bears repeating after sifting through the inane reactions to the North Korea summit from the usual suspects — Dems, media and #NeverTrump establishment.

Supreme Court Backs Accurate Voter Rolls and Honest Elections
Democrats long have relied on inaccurate election rolls to aid their candidates. They want to count every vote, legal or not. So, after Ohio’s government cleaned up its registration lists, it was hit with the usual claims of left-wing bias. Now the Supreme Court has ruled for the state.
