According to Justice Gorsuch, a person’s decision to base his self-identification on his gender preference or sexual attraction now defines his or her sex, and therefore the 1964 definition must now include homosexuality and transgenderism.
Democrats were the party of slavery, Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan, and anti-desegregation. Republicans were the party of Lincoln, Reconstruction, anti-lynching laws, and the civil rights acts.
If one judged only by Hollywood’s depiction of the American intelligence community, one could be forgiven for believing we are possessed of an awesome, best-in-class assembly of hackers, spies, gatekeepers and various assortment of keyboard warriors, all at the ready to break-in, shutdown and generally disrupt the digital machinations of our enemies.
Here is a pop quiz on the U.S. Constitution. What is the first freedom protected by the Bill of Rights? The first protected freedom is religion. The tyrannical behavior of many state governors has ignored this.
By listening to their own biased news coverage, trusting their own biased polls and looking at their own biased social media fans, Democrats have created a cycle of ignorance to the American people that can’t be corrected.
In a nation with 40 million blacks and nearly a million police, there will always be abuses of power that can be fastened on.
Joe Biden, pure and simple, is being buoyed by fake polls, fake headlines and false reporting. No wonder Americans don’t trust the media to report the truth.
Data can seem boring. But it is the essential foundation of a campaign, like the guidance system of a plane. If you have no idea where you’re going, or how to get there, you will probably wind up hopelessly lost.
When a liberal mayor or black police chief or progressive governor or white leftist who diverges from the party line is targeted by the mob, then who really is safe? No one. And so the cultural revolution sputters to irrelevance.
Among the many coronavirus casualties of 2020 has been the world of sports. There was no NCAA basketball March Madness. The NBA season was stopped about two-thirds of the way through. Major League Baseball never made it out of spring training. The one sport that appeared as though it might escape unscathed was football.
Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the lead-up to President Trump's rally, has declared a "civil emergency" due to fears of "extremely violent" protesters taking to the streets, bringing all their coronavirus-ey germs and stuff with them. This is how Democrats plan to win the White House--by intimidation, squelching free speech and aggression.
The U.S. Supreme Court just voted to uphold the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals programs, or DACA, put in place by Barack Obama and rolled back by President Donald Trump -- and Justice Clarence Thomas, in a dissent, issued a stern warning against the future politicization of the court. Wise words. But too little, too late.
Will Stone Mountain, Georgia, now be re-carved to removed all the Democrats depicted thereon ("Thomas Jefferson statue toppled by protesters at Portland high school," Web, June 15)? Thomas Jefferson is now being attacked for owning slaves, but in reality I believe it was Jefferson's opposition to Muslim marauders who attacked American ships in the early days of our nation.
Racism is usually linked to the beholder's rearing in a racist environment. Fortunately, at an impressionably young age I was emphatically told by my mother about the exceptionally kind and caring nature of our black family doctor. My mother never had anything disdainful to say about people of color. She only saw (and still sees) what is in one's heart.
Thanks to COVID-19 shutdowns, America's middle class may be suffering -- American small business owners may be gasping for last breaths, limping on their last legs -- but the billionaire class is making out like a bandit.
Reporters aren't supposed to cheer for any of the teams or people they cover. That's part of the gig. But there's no objectivity when it comes to Bravo's "Top Chef." The cooking competition show is one reason this writer is still sane in a world with no live sports.
A student body composed largely of African-Americans should not, in 2020, have to attend a school named after an individual who commanded Confederate forces committed to preserving slavery. Cheryl Chumley's June 11 column, "And like that, America's history is scrubbed," fails to empathize with this very reasonable sentiment.
It has happened again: A black man dies at the hands of white police officers, this time in Atlanta. Like clockwork, crowds gather, angry voices fill the air, mingling with the smoke of arson-lit fires. It's another made-for-media performance of the nation's race ritual, one that hardens hearts and betrays the dream of a colorblind society that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. held so dear. An altogether different rite is playing out across America, though. And over time, it cannot but extinguish the hatred: interracial and interethnic marriage.
I am as troubled by President Trump's wayward tongue, tweets and tirades as most of the mainstream media ("In a world of designer fake news, Trump can do nothing right," Web, June 16). But I also look for the other side of the story and find most critics wanting when, in bashing Mr. Trump's response to the pandemic, they fail to indicate that the response around the globe was no more skillful or effective.
