We're not southern enough to be yes, ma'am or no, sir, but I try to nudge manners into my kids' daily interactions with strangers. Today, I nudged him when I saw two women cross the parking lot and asked him to open the restaurant door. One of the women was older and one much younger, ...
Billionaire progressive activist and California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer recently remarked: "Health care companies only care about one thing: profits. Single-payer now." This is the same Tom Steyer who opposed single-payer when he ran for president in 2020. "Bernie Sanders was right," he says. "Boy, was I wrong." He still cannot explain how to pay for it. Can anyone? Single-payer health care has been the progressive left's signature domestic demand for four decades. Brookings Institution economist Jessica Riedl has spent years waiting for one. Her challenge is simple: Show ...
America's longest current criminal prosecution is in its 15th year, on its fifth judge, and still has no trial date. The defendants are Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and four alleged mass murder co-conspirators. Mohammed is the second person that the government has characterized as the ringleader of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Originally, the feds had labeled Osama bin Laden as the ringleader. Yet, rather than charging and arresting bin Laden, in order to keep him quiet it sent a team of Navy Seals to his home in Pakistan to murder him and his wife and their children. After that, the feds ...

My question: What happens when we have a dramatic decrease in monies going into those funds as well as into the federal coffers? Well, it would mean we would have to make major adjustments in the scope of many ...
In the lead up to the country's 250th birthday celebration, America has been riveted by two elections in the state of California: the race for governor and for the mayor of Los Angeles. Ever since Democrat and former congressman Eric Swalwell was forced to withdraw because of sex ...
When artists canceled their performances for President Donald Trump's June 25 Great American State Fair, one stood out for me: Martina McBride. The first time I saw Martina live in concert was at the Taste of Cincinnati festival in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Memorial Day Weekend in 1994. Her iconic song "Independence Day" had just been released as a single. It's a song we would have no doubt heard if she stayed in the lineup for the D.C. event. Like other artists who withdrew, Martina felt misled regarding the political nature of the event. Artists now say what was originally ...
