Free Speech For Me But Not For Thee
Can an idea be dangerous? Can a dangerous idea be expressed? Can the government punish ideas it deems to be dangerous?
These are not questions one regularly asks in America because of our rich tradition of protecting the freedom of speech from infringement by the government. Yet, we appear to be on the cusp of the mass suppression of public ...Read more
The Transgender Movement
Matthew 7:1: "Judge not, that you be not judged."
John 8:7: "And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, 'Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.'"
The United States was born of the proposition that only two things mattered in appraising others: character and accomplishments. Assessing ...Read more
Why No Politician Can 'Fix' Prices (and Why That's OK)
Prices are threads stitching together the fabric of our economy. They guide countless producers, here and abroad, to meet the most urgent demands of countless consumers. Prices enable the economic coordination of millions of individuals -- each with his or her own unique preferences, skills and resources -- with no need for a central planner. ...Read more
Cal Thomas: Warren Buffet is wrong on taxes
Many people have made money by following the advice of Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. His recommendations about which stocks to buy, which to sell and where to invest (or not) have earned him the “Oracle of Omaha” title. I prefer a modern cultural version: �...Read more

Pier Pressure On Gaza's Shore -- And In Michigan
The Biden administration wants to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza to save the lives of Palestinian civilians.
Good cause? Sure. Absolutely. Saving and protecting innocents when Americans can is a moral and noble goal. Even protecting the lives of innocents a terror cartel like Hamas ...Read more
Biden Attacking Oolls and Press Isn’t How to Win
Denial is a river in Egypt, as the saying goes. Well, it’s also making itself quite at home at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
President Biden is trailing former President Donald Trump in five swing states, all of which Biden won in 2020, according to a new ...Read more
Fix Social Security With Ownership, Not More Government
The trustees for Social Security have just issued their annual report. And, as we have learned annually over recent years, the system cannot meet its obligations.
According to this latest report, the Social Security system will not be able to meet its obligations to retirees by 2035. In 2035, the system will be adequate to meet just 83% of ...Read more
Shafik and Other College Presidents Have Mission Confusion
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is urging university leaders across the country to do some "serious soul searching." Good advice. She should start with her own soul. Shafik has the wrong idea about the purpose of a university.
She and likeminded college presidents are turning preeminent universities into factories, churning out ...Read more
Censorship is a Global Pandemic!
"Palestine will be free!" chant the protesters. "From the river to the sea. Some says that's a call for genocide -- another holocaust -- elimination of Israel and all Jews. So, should the chant be illegal? The House of Representatives just voted to make it illegal at universities. Both Republicans and Democrats voted for the bill. Canadian ...Read more
President Biden's Chinese Cosmetics
Since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, the United States has imported more than $1.5 trillion in goods from the People's Republic of China, according to the Census Bureau's publicly released data for the period from February 2021 through March 2024.
At the same time, China has purchased only approximately $477 billion in exports from the ...Read more
Joe Biden, Political Pinwheel
Joe Biden is not a person of principle or character. He is a lifelong politician who has spent decades shifting his positions on nearly every major issue. If one had to define Biden's political worldview, it would be simply this: Follow the Democratic herd, and desperately attempt to place yourself dead center in the middle of it. Joe Biden is...Read more
Hillary Clinton's Conspiracy Privilege
It's hard to watch the incessant gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Donald Trump trial in Manhattan without feeling like you're traveling in a time warp back to 2016. We're back reliving the "Access Hollywood" tape and talk of how Trump would have never been elected except porn star Stormy Daniels accepted a six-figure check to keep quiet.
The ...Read more
Cal Thomas: Trump outdoes himself with crude language
If you are the parent of young children, are you OK with your kids hearing former President Donald Trump’s language and putdowns, like the ones at his rally last Saturday in Wildwood, New Jersey?
One can hear a kid justifying his or her own swearing: “If Trump can talk like that, why can’t I?” Is this the way we want our children to be ...Read more
Paris Olympics poised to take the gold medal in virtue signaling
PARIS — “So, just how bad are the bed bugs?” That’s the question most often asked on my recent trip to North America upon learning that I’m based in Paris, where the Summer Olympic Games are slated for two weeks in July and August. Bedbugs are now just about the least of mounting concerns subjected to blame-shifting and grandstanding ...Read more
Steel Plant Falls in West Virginia, But No One Hears a Sound
WEIRTON, West Virginia -- The hum is gone.
It was a sound that told locals that men and women were working. It told small businesses that have tried to hold on, after each cutback at the iconic steel mill that for over 100 years defined their skyline, that people would need their services. Services from mechanics that fixed their cars. ...Read more
The Genocide Libel Is the Blood Libel of Our Time
In medieval Europe, Christians who hated Jews spread the lie that Jews kidnap Christian children, slaughter them, and use their blood to bake matzos for Passover. This lie became known as "the Blood Libel," probably the greatest libel in history. Over the course of many centuries, Jews were tortured and murdered, often by being burned alive, ...Read more
Biden 2.0? Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!
Could a second Biden term be more injurious to the economy than his first term? It seems unimaginable given the first three years gave us 20% inflation, a $2,000 loss in average real incomes for the middle class, 6 million added illegal immigrants, a war on American energy that has caused gas prices to rise by more than 40% to $3.64 a gallon, ...Read more
MGM Fights Dark Web and Federal Bureaucracy
WASHINGTON -- When MGM Resorts International fell victim to a cyberattack in September 2023, Nevada's largest employer responded the way you would want a big corporation to respond.
MGM cooperated with the FBI and did not pay ransom to the hackers even as its systems -- including slot machines and hotel room keys -- went down for days.
Alas,...Read more
My Warning to President Trump! This Crisis and Chaos in America Is All About Obama! Get Ready for What's Coming Next! Hint: Michelle Obama!
Let's put two and two together. Start with what's happening in America...
...at this very moment!
The anarchy on college campuses. That's not brain-dead Joe Biden. It's all Barack Obama. Why do you think it's all centered around Columbia University?
This all started at Columbia University, class of 1983. I'm a witness. We were taught ...Read more
The Making of a Banana Republic
It is a presidential election year and a leading candidate for president of the United States, who also happens to be a former president of the United States, is currently a criminal defendant chained to a dingy courtroom four days of the week -- time that he should be spending interacting with voters out on the campaign trail.
That's ...Read more
