When it comes to high level competitive sports, it makes total sense that there should be no competitive advantage. That’s why doping is universally banned, and why there are frequent doping tests. It is also why so much consternation and international friction exists between the U.S. and China over suspected doping cases that China and...
According to the conventional wisdom of the chattering class, Donald Trump’s selection of JD Vance for vice president has been an abject disaster that has the former president doubting his instincts. But the story on the campaign trail looks a little different, and the GOP may be forging a new funding base. In conversations with...
In a painful perversion of justice, the U.S. agreed to a plea deal with terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his two accomplices that spares them the death penalty for the murders of nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. The long-suffering family members of the victims expected and deserved justice, but many will be...
With the U.S. military mired in a historic recruiting crisis, and global tensions at their highest point since World War II, now would be a good time to keep as many troops in uniform as possible. Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s reckless discharge of more than 75,000 military personnel in the name of compliance with vaccine...
Do you enjoy watching men beating up women? I don’t. Any exceptions? Not that I can think of. But the International Olympics Committee have decided otherwise. Watching men beating up women is fine so long as it’s in a huge stadium and televised for all the world to see. Got it? I am referring, of...
As the world watches the Olympic Games, opening ceremony notwithstanding, I am working to bring attention to the Biden administration’s upcoming changes to Title IX, which are set to go into effect on Aug. 1, 2024, and hoping they do not get overlooked. Protecting the original Title IX legislation is the preeminent civil rights issue...
As a U.S. senator, Vice President Kamala Harris had a remarkably slim record of accomplishments, shepherding only a handful of minor resolutions across the finish line. But that’s far from the last word on her legislative record. In fact, two bills she introduced (that went nowhere) may best define her past, and potential future, priorities...
At Sturges Speakeasy in Harrisburg, the dulcet tones of Neutral Milk Hotel were playing as I nibbled on my excellent ahi tuna starter before heading to the Trump rally at the Pennsylvania Farm Arena. It was the calm before the Trumpian storm. There I met Larry, in a Notre Dame football T-shirt, and a few...
America’s declining birthrate is a far greater risk to our future than, say, climate change. Yet most politicians are too scared to talk about it. Now, it’s apparently taboo. The entire Democratic Party and all their media allies have spent the past week smearing vice presidential nominee JD Vance as “weird” because he dared to...
“Kamala Harris: Weak. Failed. Dangerously liberal.” That’s the tag line on the first campaign ad put up by former President Trump this week. Those closing phrases of the 30-second hammering of Harris ought to run a thousand times between now and November because they provide a great and memorable summary of the Vice President’s tenure...
