Expelled Students Should Take Iranian Schools Up on the Scholarship Offers
Protests from pro-Palestinian students against the war between Israel and Gaza on college campuses have resulted in arrests, suspensions, and expulsions nationwide. At least three colleges in Iran have responded by offering scholarships to students expelled for their actions protesting the war.
Biden Lets Public Health Go Up in Smoke
Leftists demand that others “follow the science,” but when science and the facts reinforce arguments against their politics, they ignore it. That’s what President Joe Biden is doing with marijuana. He is dangerously sacrificing the facts on the ideological altar of pot pandering.
When the Woke Begin to Hate
College students are marinated in readings, lectures, and group sessions teaching them to banish impure thoughts about race and ethnicity, yet many of these activists are quick to resort to the basest barroom racial, ethnic, and religious taunts.
Biden Brings the Gender War to Work
President Joe Biden’s appointees continue to push the radicalism that keeps his approval ratings at record lows. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has done it again with new rules to force speech of a specific type when people are at work.
Christian Colleges Should Be Free to Employ People Who Share Their Beliefs
Methodist universities should not be forced to hire Roman Catholic priests to teach theology. Lutheran colleges should not be forced to hire Oneness Pentecostal ministers to teach religion classes. This is common sense, but a federal court is having trouble seeing it.
Black Sports Pundits Complain That Caitlin Clark Is White
Black sports pundits cannot stop complaining about Caitlin Clark’s skin color because they cannot get over that a white player is the face of a sport predominantly played by black athletes.
Speaker Mike Johnson Stands Tall Against Hateful Campus Mobs
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) gave new evidence yesterday of having “found his voice” in defense of Western values against the threats from both international and domestic bullies and mobs. Johnson spoke at Columbia University, which has cowered and covered itself with shame.
It’s Time for Caitlin Clark to Denounce Biological Men in Women’s Sports
The only reason for her not to say something at this point, other than if she actually supports biological men competing in women’s sports, is timidity. Clark has all the leverage in this situation. She should use it.
“Elite” Colleges Are Molding a New Generation of Hateful People
Supposedly “elite” universities are helping create a new, hateful generation of people following the oppressor-oppressed narratives these universities promote.
It’s Time to Stop Celebrating April 20 as a Day for Marijuana
Marijuana does not deserve any celebration. This is especially true given the trove of devastating facts revealed about the drug in multiple studies released in recent years. We should be working to end recognition of 4/20, not encourage more acknowledgment.
Defund NPR
There is one small measure Republicans can take that would at least signal to their voters they are interested in fighting back against the Left: defunding NPR. There is simply no excuse for sending taxpayer dollars to journalists obsessed with demonizing conservatives.
Make Blocking Traffic a Federal Crime
State and local governments are mostly free to maintain law and order as they see fit. But that changes when federal money is used to build and maintain highways, or involves critical interstate transportation infrastructure such as airports and bridges.
Biden’s Mideast Policy Disaster
Iran’s latest offensive is part of a larger pattern of aggression that has been tolerated for too long by the Biden administration. The president’s reflex for appeasing Iran has encouraged its belligerence and made the need for a radical course correction urgent.
The Media Mourn a Murderer
If you glanced at the headlines from the legacy media outlets about the death of Orenthal James Simpson this week, you might think that he was a famous football player who overcame a racist judicial system instead of the murderer he was.
Biden’s Poor Polling May Be as Good as It Gets for Him
Although it hardly looks like it, President Joe Biden may already be peaking in his race to keep the White House.
The Authoritarian Biden Presidency
Republican voters, we are told, increasingly support the idea of having an authoritarian president, by whom those telling us mean “Donald Trump.” But the same voices completely ignore how authoritarian President Joe Biden is, and how Democratic voters are fine with that.
Buttigieg Mocks Crime Concerns from His Personal Security Bubble
Buttigieg doesn’t have to worry about the consequences of crime because he has his own personal security. It is the purest of Democratic bubbles, which allows Buttigieg to dismiss the concerns of (mostly black) residents of Washington, D.C., who are being subjected to the city’s crime surge.
Bidenomics Isn’t Working
Bidenomics seems only to be working for part-time, mostly foreign workers. The rest of the population is out of luck as prices rise and borrowing costs make American dream essentials, such as a house and a car, less affordable than ever.
The Biden Administration’s Relentless DEI Push Continues Apace
The fact that the Biden administration stubbornly clings to DEI — the way Obama said Americans clung to their guns and Bibles — is puzzling. The private sector seems to be running away from DEI with as much speed as it initially rushed into the embrace of these dubious trainings and practices.
Republicans Should Embrace JK Rowling’s Moral Courage
Rowling, described both former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as “extraordinary,” declared former President Donald Trump as “worse than Voldemort,” and supports abortion rights. She is also an unapologetic defender of biological women. She is an invaluable ally.
No Reason for LSU Basketball Team to Miss National Anthem
Not being on the court was disrespectful. It’s an arrogant display of ignorance and self-centeredness. Either the team skipped it as a protest of some sort (and tried to cover it up by claiming they were never on the court for it), or they didn’t care enough about it to be on the court for its performance. Neither is a good look.
Vanderbilt Shows How to Handle Entitled Student Mobs
Almost 30 students staged a sit-in outside the Chancellor office to protest that Vanderbilt wouldn’t let students vote on sanctions proposal against Israel. The university suspended at least 16 of the students, and three have been charged with assaulting an officer, while a fourth was charged with vandalism.
Biden’s Green Economy Will Break the Energy Grid
A completely green energy economy is a fantasy promoted by the progressive Left, who are clueless about economics and the “wants” of the public.
