Biden's Dangerous Two-Faced Approach With Israel

During most of the six months of Israel's war with Hamas, President Biden has given support to our ally with one hand and undercut it with the other.

6 Months Since October 7, There Are No Winners Here

Almost exactly six months ago, Israelis awoke to a nightmare. Civilians in the southern part of the country, areas near the border with Gaza, were under a brutal, ongoing attack. It would become the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust and a prelude to unspeakable suffering on both sides of the border.

Dems Only Need To Make One Argument for Biden

To win in November, President Joe Biden and other Democrats must seize upon and never let up on abortion rights as their most important policy focus. Democrats' historical reticence to give a full-throated and explicit defense of abortion rights or to take advantage of congressional majorities to enshrine those rights into law kept the door open for Republicans to find a way to overturn Roe v Wade. The painful irony is that because of this policy mismanagement, Democrats have transmuted the hardship and suffering of hundreds of thousands of would-be abortion-seekers into a wave of ballot-box...

Dems' Anti-Free Speech Allies Turn Against Them

You are "killing people," President Biden told social media companies a couple of years ago. He sought to shame executives into censoring more Americans. Biden has lashed out at disinformation by anti-vaxxers, "election deniers" and others. This month, those words were thrown back at Biden himself as a "genocide denier" by protesters who have labeled him "Genocide Joe" over his support for Israel.

If MTG Wins on Ukraine Aid, We'll Be in Dangerous Territory

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is the new boss in town. The representative, who is known for her reactionary rhetoric and references to conspiracy theories, is now strongly suggesting that she will force a vote to oust Republican Speaker Mike Johnson should he move forward with an aid package for Ukraine.

American Conservatism Clarifies Natcon's Contribution

Members of moral, political, and religious traditions share basic assumptions, fundamental principles, and central convictions about their associations and institutions. Since human beings are self-interested and fallible, words and concepts are many-sided and ambiguous, and justice makes competing demands, traditions - no matter how noble and good their purposes - naturally divide into rival camps that espouse clashing interpretations of their shared inheritance. Grappling with this diversity and dissent within a framework of overall unity is a mark of a living, breathing tradition.

Senate, House, and WH Could All Change Hands in November

With the two major parties matched pretty evenly, it's not too surprising that margin of control in the House and Senate (at present three seats in the House and just one in the Senate) make them very vulnerable to a change of ownership in November. The close nature of five out of the 21st century's six presidential elections, along with a rare rematch between the last two winners, makes predictions in the 2024 presidential contest problematic as well, even before you get to factors like Donald Trump's civil and criminal trials, his and Joe Biden's advanced age, and the possibility of another...

Regime's Effort To Bankrupt Opponents Must Be Stopped

President Trump is enduring an onslaught of lawsuits calculated to bankrupt him and show trials designed to imprison him. Just a few years ago it would have unfathomable to imagine an open conspiracy of judges, prosecutors, elected officials, bureaucrats, academics, and media figures feverishly plotting the destruction of Trump through relentless lawfare in a desperate gambit to keep him out of the White House. But that is precisely the situation at hand today.

The First Amendment's Terms of Service

Maybe my least surprising political position is advocacy for free and open discourse. Without free speech as a bedrock principle, democracy would mean little. If we can't, as private citizens, receive, judge, and debate ideas and information, the decisions we make on the basis of that information cannot themselves be considered "free" in any meaningful sense. If some central authority prevents me from discussing information-or even the possibility of the existence of information-that could change people's minds about that authority's course of action, all of our rights have been damaged.

Hillary Clinton recently told voters unhappy with the two 2024 presidential candidates this year: "Get over yourself."

Senate Can Stop Expansion of Govt Surveillance

When the U.S. House passed the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), which reauthorizes the FISA Section 702 surveillance authority, it overlooked something big - an amendment that would drive the greatest expansion of government surveillance authority in recent history. The Senate has time to correct this and restore balance between the needs of national security and the safeguarding of Americans' civil liberties.

What Was Won in No Labels' Crusade

Earlier this month, No Labels' effort to offer a third choice for president in 2024 came to an end. It was an audacious idea from the beginning. We knew defenders of broken Washington would rage against us; their economic model demands it. But we did it anyway because we knew that a vast majority of voters wanted it, and giving voice to those voters is the only way to bring common sense back to our politics, something that is so desperately needed.

"Killing of Dexter Reed raises questions about Chicago police reform. ‘The message is, go in guns blazing,'" blared a headline in the Chicago Sun-Times.
