Equality Is Not Our Military’s Foremost Concern — Effectiveness Is

U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) last week tweeted out opposition to the ban on transgendered persons serving in the military. She said, “Banning transgender people from serving in our military violates the fundamental value at the heart of our country: equality. This cannot be our America.” Harris and others who want to see the ban lifted believe that the military should be inclusive. I don’t want the military to become inclusive. It is effective because it is exclusive. When I enlisted in the Army (I served in the Army National Guard from 1989 to 1997), I had to go down

Michigan to Faith-Based Adoption Agencies: Violate Your Beliefs or Lose Funding

The state of Michigan has announced that funding will be cut off from adoption agencies that do not work with same-sex couples, forcing faith-based organizations to choose between their religious beliefs and the bottom line. This decision, announced Friday, comes as a result of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) suing the state on behalf of two lesbian couples. The legal settlement was negotiated between ACLU lawyers and Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office. In exchange for this new policy for adoption agencies, the plaintiffs in the case will be dismissing their claims and paying their own fees and costs.

Trump Taps Supply-Side Champion Stephen Moore for Fed Board

Influential supply-side economist Stephen Moore has been nominated by President Trump for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. His decades of research, writing, and championing of supply-side economics make him the perfect pick to fill one of the most important economic positions in the U.S. Stephen Moore’s legacy as a leader in the supply-side movement dates back to his efforts leading President Reagan’s Privatization Commission. He has advised think tanks including the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and FreedomWorks on economics, and he founded the Club for Growth as well as the Committee to Unleash Prosperity. Most

Democrats Keep Talking About Abortion — And That’s Great for Pro-Lifers

For the first time in a long time, Democrat candidates for president are being seriously challenged — by both sides — about their positions on abortion. Abortion has long been a sacred cow of the Left. There has not been a serious pro-life Democrat to run for president in decades, so support for abortion has been a given for the party’s presidential contenders. The extent of the debate has mostly been relegated to clichés like “safe, legal, and rare” and “between a woman and her doctor,” and Democrats have generally not gone into detail on their positions, unwilling to call

Kentucky Fetal Heartbeat Law Blocked by Federal Judge

Just hours after Governor Matt Bevin signed Kentucky’s fetal heartbeat bill into law on Friday, a federal judge temporarily blocked it. The law was set to become one of the strictest anti-abortion measures in the country. It would block abortions occurring after a fetal heartbeat was detected, which is typically detectable by six weeks into a pregnancy. Considering 90 percent of abortions in Kentucky take place later than the six-week marker, the law would serve to effectively limit almost all abortions in the state, excluding those that are necessary to prevent death or serious harm to the mother. Judge David

Invasive International Survey Targeting Pre-K Students Is Coming to U.S.

Not apparently content with the extent of invasive personality profiling discussed last year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is expanding it psychological profiling to 5,000 young children each in the U.S., England, and Estonia. The assessment is titled the International Early Learning Survey (IELS). Dubbed by some as “Baby PISA” (after the Program for International Student Assessment, an international assessment for fifteen-year-olds also conducted by OECD), this assessment is disturbingly comprehensive in the data it seeks to mine from young children and their families. Here is a description of the assessment in 2016 and early 2017 in

“Betomania”: O’Rourke Enters 2020 Race — But Can He Win?

Will “Betomania” be going nationwide next year? The mediocre former Texas congressman Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke today announced he is running for president in 2020. The announcement comes after he declared just a few months ago he would not run for president. O’Rourke became a leftist superstar in his high-profile challenge to Sen. Ted Cruz last year. His cool nickname, relative youth and good looks, and insinuations to Hispanics that he was “one of them” made him a rock star within the Democratic Party, with Democrat donors salivating over the prospect of turning Texas blue funneling over $70 million to his campaign.

House Democrats Vote Unanimously to Silence Conservatives

Last week, Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats rammed through H.R. 1, the “For the People Act,” in a party-line vote. While Democrats and their media allies claim the House passage of this legislation amounts to a victory for “transparency” that would make our elections process more democratic, H.R. 1 does quite the opposite. The “For the People Act” is potentially the most egregious attack on free speech ever proposed in legislative text and was crafted with an apparent goal in mind of tilting the electoral playing field to benefit Democrats during the 2020 election cycle and beyond.  And not
