    Before we forget: What Trump did right

    I feel silly bringing it up because it’s ancient history, but does anyone remember the border chaos when Joseph Robinette Biden was president? Does anyone remember Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declaring that the border was closed, while millions of illegals from around the globe poured across the border from Mexico? Well, that’s over.

    Dems’ unbridled pursuit of power can’t be airbrushed away
    Liberals generally, and progressives particularly, have devoted 75 years to securing control of education, federal and state bureaucracies, corporate boards, tech companies, entertainment and media. They triangulated their efforts, consolidating control of institutions that fund, inform, regulate, accredit, authorize and monitor each other.

    Austin Metcalf
    In the last 50 to 60 years, human life in this country has been cheapened. It started with abortions. Notice what happens there: Pro-abortion arguments and sympathy focus on the mother that aborted the child. The child is ignored because they cannot speak. Austin Metcalf cannot speak, either.

    For America's 250th birthday, pardon the East Haven Four
    Enforcing the law fairly and legally should not put an officer in the Justice Department’s crosshairs. But that is exactly what happened to the East Haven Four.

    Talking across the divide
    So much political discussion looks for fault lines in the other side’s arguments rather than their strengths. We look to confirm our views rather than expand them.

    America needs civility
    A disagreement in America once meant two people saw an issue differently. Today, disagreement increasingly turns into suspicion, anger and personal attacks.

    Social Security: A promise to our seniors we must not break
    Without reform, starting in 2034, Social Security will only be able to pay what comes in and beneficiaries will only receive 77 cents on every dollar they are due – something we have all known about for years, although bad faith politicians will tell you otherwise in the spirit of trying to win their elections.

    Tippy, Chapter 23: The final chapter
    It was somewhat boring, walking along U.S. Route 50 at night. Every night was much the same. The chicken had gone ahead and reported back that when we got to Anderson Ferry Road, we would want to turn left and head up to the top of the plateau. How she could figure this out, I have no idea.

    Republicans funded immigration enforcement; every Democrat voted no
    This package will ensure that our brave federal law enforcement officers have all the resources they need to track down violent criminals, stop the flow of illicit drugs into our communities, and enforce our immigration laws. In other words, it’s a victory for our country – yet every single Democrat voted against it.

    Ohio's HB 105 threatens to disarm the conservative legal movement
    I have spent decades in Ohio’s conservative movement, and I know the difference between a legal reform that protects citizens and one that ends up burdening the people doing the hardest work. HB 105 is well‑intentioned, but it is aimed at the wrong problem.

    Anti-semitism will get worse if it becomes a good career choice
    The selective condemnation is getting worse, as is the antisemitism that accompanies it. And it will get even worse if it is rewarded by clicks, money, and acceptance. As long as Jew hatred remains good for business, as it did in Germany in the 1930s, in many Arab countries in the 1950s, and in Europe and parts of the United States today, it will get worse.
