While many developed countries are currently in the midst of dealing with COVID-19, the disease is just now starting to affect many developing countries. Those countries will depend on the international community to assist them in responding to COVID-19, and an announcement that the U.S. is cutting funding to the WHO, regardless of the reality, will be interpreted as abandoning them.
Radical Environmentalists’ Giddiness in Pandemic Exposes True Aims
While the country and really the whole world is enmeshed in stopping the COVID-19 pandemic, Obama and many others on the left are desperately trying to get Americans to embrace their agenda.

Coronavirus Response Has Been Robust
The Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak thus far has been robust as the disease that originated in Wuhan, China, spreads across the world.

The Left Is Thwarting Trump’s Effort to Secure the Border
Rep. Any Biggs: Tremendous progress has been made in slowing the number of illegal border crossers, but there is still a long way to go to fully secure our border. The Trump administration is successfully building a wall on the border, negotiating with international partners who are helping slow the flow of illegal border crossings, and putting resources into securing the U.S. border.
Marriage Is the Ticket Out of Poverty
Americans who graduate high school, start working, get married, and have children—in that order—are significantly less likely to fall into poverty than others.

America Must Recommit to Religious Freedom
Clashes between the constitutional right to exercise religion and civil or statutory rights, such as freedom from discrimination based on controversial new categories, are multiplying all over the country.

Pelosi’s Embarrassing Impeachment Battle
Pelosi has no standing to dictate the terms of a Senate trial; no constitutional right or political leverage. Why she has put herself in a position that will ultimately end, one way or another, with her surrendering to McConnell is perplexing.
Senator Lee Isn’t Breaking with Trump. But He Has a Point

Planned Parenthood Sets New Record for Abortions in a Single Year
It’s been a turbulent last two years at Planned Parenthood, with a leadership shakeup involving the ouster of Dr. Leana Wen as president, and the installment of Alexis McGill Johnson as acting president. But that upheaval didn’t stop Planned Parenthood from having a banner year in providing abortion on demand, as its new report shows.
The Left Ignores the Wrong Kind of Anti-Semitism

Tucker Carlson’s False and Misleading Claims About the Heritage Foundation
Carlson’s claims began with an attack on a recent Heritage report about Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. He claimed the report’s author repeated lines verbatim from a trade association.
