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.

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.
Don’t Blame DEI for Baltimore Bridge Collapse
In the aftermath of the tragic collision of a cargo ship into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, hot-take artists immediately pointed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as the main culprit. As of now, there is scant evidence that DEI initiatives played any role in the tragic destruction of the Key Bridge.
Republicans Need to Turn Against Marijuana
Republicans have given ground to the Left’s relentless push for self-satisfaction regarding recreational marijuana. They need a serious course correction and should reexamine this subject before praising the legalization of marijuana as some sort of grand bipartisan accomplishment and a societal good.
A Biden-Harris Second Term Is a Nightmare Scenario
Think of the sustained stress that 45-year-old John F. Kennedy had to endure during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis Then ask yourself if President Joe Biden could, even right now, bear that load.
The Electric Car Fiasco
It’s clear that the demand for electric vehicles is much smaller than that predicted by environmental enthusiasts and imposed on carmakers by the Biden administration.
Half a Decade Later, Christine Blasey Ford Still Has No Corroborating Witnesses
More than half a decade after Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh became the second of three Supreme Court justices appointed by former President Donald Trump, Christine Blasey Ford has reemerged from the wilderness of #Resistance-era one-hit wonders.
The Left Turns on Fani Willis
Like rats deserting a sinking ship, many in the legacy media are now calling for her to recuse herself from the case.
Bernie Sanders Unveils His Latest Insane Idea
What if every weekend could be a long weekend? That’s the question some people are asking after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) introduced legislation this week to reduce the standard workweek to 32 hours — supposedly, with no loss in pay!
