Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) quashed two election integrity bills in July last year after receiving thousands in donations from Dominion lobbyists. In July, McConnell blocked two bills, one that would provide $775 million to “bolster election security,” along with requiring a physical paper trail of every single ballot cast in the country, and a second that would mandate political candidates, their staff members, and their families, to notify the FBI if any foreign government offered to assist them. “Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law.

While not all workers forced to stay home were quick to welcome the change, many learned to enjoy it over time. With state governments beginning another round of lockdowns, it isn’t shocking to...

No one should mistake William P. Barr’s resignation as a principled act to dissociate himself from a president whose conduct has passed the limit of what the attorney general could tolerate: As, respectively, a former colleague of Barr’s in a past Justice Department and an adversary of his in his current role, we certainly do not.

Last week, Pakistani police appeared at the District Court of Allahabad with a 12-year old girl whose whereabouts the Court had ordered to ascertain. The girl had deep signs on her ankles, indicating she had been attached to a rope or perhaps a metal chain for several days or weeks. Her name is Farah Shaheen, and she was too shocked to be able to tell her story. But her father did. Farah is the second among six siblings of a Christian family in Gulistan Colony, Faisalabad. Her mother died five years ago, and Farah spent most of her time at...

Yes, there are large numbers of nostalgic adults – my own particular penchant for Star Wars included – that love the adventure and lore of fantastical worlds, but the target market is and always has been children. You might one of a few adults who will buy that $300 Captain America shield replica, but there are 50 million kids who will beg their...

In the latest episode of corporate wokeness fixing a problem that doesn’t actually exist, the Major League Baseball team the Cleveland Indians is changing its name after having used the moniker for 105 years. This follows the decision by the Washington Redskins of the National Football League to change their name this season. Whatever you think of that decision by what is now the Washington Football Team, it is plainly obvious that these two cases are nothing alike. Not to put too fine a point on it, but the term “Indian” to indicate a Native American is not even remotely...
