His presidency’s failure rests on a longstanding character flaw: He follows the Democratic Party wherever it goes.
The West’s Climate Policy Debacle
Soaring oil and natural gas prices. Electricity grids on the brink of failure. Energy shortages in Europe, with worse to come. These are some of the unfolding results in the last year caused by the West’s utopian dream to punish fossil fuels and sprint to a world driven solely by renewable energy.
Sri Lanka’s Green New Deal Was a Human Disaster
An ill-advised national experiment in organic farming yielded starvation, poverty and political chaos.
Biden and Fauci Botched the Pandemic Response
Instead of protecting the vulnerable, they bet too heavily on vaccines to achieve herd immunity.
Chick-fil-A Beats the Boycott
The restaurant chain remains the most popular in America, despite political attacks. Progressives made Chick-fil-A a boycott target over the chain’s support for conservative cultural causes. Its stores are closed on Sundays, and former company president Dan Cathy was vocal in supporting groups that opposed same-sex marriage.
Why the Rush for Toddler Vaccines?
Covid was clearly a health emergency for adults in 2020. By contrast, the urgency now feels political.
A Football Coach’s Prayer Is Constitutional
Another touchdown for religious liberty from the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court Reclaims Its Legitimacy
In the 1973 abortion case, not today, the justices overstepped their boundaries and made their institution political.
The Justices Didn’t Lie to the Senate About Abortion
No one in the Supreme Court’s Dobbs majority promised to uphold Roe v. Wade.
Trump and Biden Both Face Rejection
Peggy Noonan: This is the big political story now: Both parties are rejecting their leaders, Donald Trumpand Joe Biden. It’s a continuing tectonic shift and the story underlying every daily political story. It’s building and will only grow. Both parties are starting to scramble for what’s next, who’s next. Both are casting about.
The Jan. 6 Committee Calls Ginni Thomas
Democrats on the House Jan. 6 committee are still hoping to discover a trail of bread crumbs leading to the Supreme Court, and specifically Justice Clarence Thomas, but they may be supremely disappointed.

Harvard Needs Merit-Based Admissions
Alan Dershowitz: I believe the result of a merit-based policy would be more meaningful diversity.

Jan. 6 Committee Is Weaponizing Majority Rule
Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan: If Republican leaders were to participate in this political stunt, it would change the House forever.

Donald Trump and His Elusive Base
Peggy Noonan: Something is shifting. Many who backed him don’t follow his lead or want him to run in 2024.
The Despicable Rush to Blame a Deranged Killer on Republicans
The media’s massacre blame-game also goes only one way. When a deranged black man ran down white grandmothers at a Waukesha, Wis., holiday parade, the media soon turned away from the awful story. President Biden didn’t show up and claim America is at risk of losing its democracy, as he did in Buffalo on Tuesday.
The House Subpoena Wars
If Democrats think this will be a one-time-only event, they are dreaming. If Republicans retake the House in November, you can guarantee that Mr. Jordan, as likely Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, will find some reason to subpoena Democrats about oh, say, what they knew about the Russian collusion narrative or Democrats who objected to the electoral vote counts in 2000, 2004, or 2016.
Ukraine Crisis Reveals the Folly of Organic Farming
As food prices skyrocket and the conflict threatens a global food crisis, we need to face another unpopular reality: Organic farming is ineffective, land hungry and very expensive, and it would leave billions hungry if it were embraced world-wide.
The End of Roe v. Wade Will Be Good for America
Peggy Noonan: The mistaken abortion decision, a product of vanity, roiled and distorted our politics and poisoned our culture.
The Abortion Disinformation Campaign
Don’t believe the claims that other rights are in jeopardy if Roe v.Wade falls.
