This year may be the last January March for Life. I’ve attended many of the annual pro-life gatherings in our nation’s capital, and it’s a sight to behold. There’s always a big showing from North Dakota, thanks to the University of Mary in Bismarck. The day before the march, I almost always …
Ida B. Wells was a superstar more than a century ago — a singularly brave and committed journalist shining a brilliant light on the evils of lynching. Only in recent years have her accomplishments received the recognition they deserve.
March came early this year for President Biden. He came into 2022 like a lion. The danger for him is that he may find himself going out like a lamb.

At the end of each podcast, Babylon Bee leaders ask guests the same 10 questions, including this stumper: “Calvinist or Arminian?”
WASHINGTON — Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot deserves credit for standing up to the Chicago Teachers Union. But the fact that so many Chicago teachers were willing to abandon their students in the first place is disgraceful. The next time they walk off the job in violation of the law, she shoul…
If you want to understand Joe Biden’s emerging political strategy, just listen to Mike Rounds.
Last week, we reviewed our ruling class’s strange lack of interest in Jeffrey Epstein’s child molestation ring, in which so many of them played a part. The media cover-up is second only to the government cover-up, with prosecutors delivering loss after loss in cases they’ve been forced to br…
So here’s my question: Let’s say you’re Attorney General Merrick Garland. Filing a criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump should be a fairly straightforward matter, even though conspiracy charges are notoriously hard to prove. After all, much of Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, attem…
This week, the incoming New York City Mayor Eric Adams — the supposed rational corrective to uber-radical outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio — announced that he would allow legislation to proceed allowing local voting for 800,000 noncitizens. The same week, the legislature in California took up a…
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Georgia Tuesday to push their party’s bill to federalize U.S. election procedures on terms favorable to Democrats. “We are going right to the belly of the beast, or ground zero, for voter suppression, voter subversion and obstr…
President Joe Biden is getting bad advice about inflation. It’s unclear if that advice is coming from political strategists or from economic advisers. Either way: It’s still bad.
“When I hear a firecracker, I panic.”
The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was rightly deemed a prophet by many of his supporters — a man who saw clearly the promise of American democracy as well as the limits of its practice. His analysis of the Senate’s use of the filibuster is as sage now as it was when he issued it some six d…
The turning of the calendar page always prompts reflection, and seldom more so than this year. We have moved from the end of the Donald J. Trump presidency into the middle stages of the Joe Biden years. We have entered the third year of the coronavirus (the first American COVID death occurre…

WASHINGTON — As we reflect on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, here is the good news: Our democracy was never in danger, because our institutions held. State election officials, including Republicans who supported President Donald Trump, did the right thing. So did GOP governors and state legislator…
When it comes to prognostication, my favorite philosopher has always been the eminent Lawrence Peter Berra. “It’s tough to make predictions,” Yogi famously said, “especially about the future.”
HARRISBURG — Last month, seven environmental groups wrote a misguided letter to Philadelphia officials bashing legislation that I sponsored as counterintuitive to the city's decarbonization goals.
Former senator Harry Reid, D-Nev., will lie in state in the Capitol next week.
Question: Is our ruling class trying to make us to think they’re a bunch of pederasts? Our media could not be less interested in Jeffrey Epstein’s child molestation ring and, with the sole exception of the Palm Beach Police Department, every arm of government has bent over backward to bury t…
A persistent and pernicious infection is tearing through America as the new year dawns. But it’s not called delta or omicron. It’s not caused by a virus. And it cannot be prevented by wearing a mask or standing 6 feet away from the next customer at the grocery.
On Jan. 22, 1959, coal miners in Luzerne County illegally dug under the Susquehanna River, so close to the river’s wall that it collapsed, causing a watery whirlpool that flooded the mine shafts and killed 12.
The holiday season is behind us and the long, cold winter is here. As the calendar turns to 2022, now is the perfect time to make a resolution to save energy.

This year, Jan. 6 will be commemorated with all the ballyhoo and rigamarole Democrats and their media allies can muster. CNN plans an entire special around the anniversary, titled “Live from the Capitol: January 6th, One Year Later”; the show will feature the “heroes who protected our democr…
Perhaps no other citizenry understands less about their government than the American people. And, that extends to our lawmakers, too.
For the last year, we’ve heard one commentator after another tell us that American democracy is in crisis. The source of that crisis, we are told, is a hard core of the Republican Party that believes the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and that Joe Biden, therefore, is not a legit…

For journalists who braved the chaos, the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill offered a buffet of the bizarre — a throng of Proud Boys, QAnon prophets, former U.S. military personnel and radicalized Donald Trump supporters that crashed through security lines and, thus, into history.

WASHINGTON — I once again offer my annual lists of the 10 best and 10 worst things the president did this year. Regular readers know I have been highly critical of President Joe Biden during his first year in office — so, in the spirit of the season, we’ll start with the best things he did:
In 2020, Americans learned that if emergency dictated, we could lock down, mask up, and blow out spending to temporarily stymie the impact of a global pandemic. We learned that if uncertainty required massive response, we could mobilize massive response, including the creation of new vaccine…
Something about this season echoes the imperative to welcome the stranger, but humankind has proved impervious to the message. We seem unable to extend welcome — or even simple goodwill — to those outside the magic circle of tribe or church or tongue.
