Unmarried Birth Rates and Fatherless Households: A National Crisis

In a recent television appearance, I discussed my appointment to a presidential commission called “The Social Status of Black Men and Black Boys.” I called fatherless households America’s top domestic problem, a particularly severe phenomenon in the black community where nearly 70% of kids begin their lives in households with unmarried mothers. I then received […]

Federal Appeals Court Reminds Judges Not to Change Rules Before or During Election

The Supreme Court advises that judges should not change state and county election rules right before an election, a Cincinnati-based appeals court has reminded a lower court. The Ohio case, like others this election season, involves the use of ballot “drop boxes” and restrictions that officials may put on them while attempting to maintain the […]

Yes, a Pro-China Group in America Supports a Black Lives Matter Founder

The Daily Signal last month revealed links between the Black Lives Matter organizations and the Chinese Progressive Association of San Francisco. My piece went viral—and for good reason. It broke news that the liberal-dominated media would prefer to ignore. A writer for the online publication Axios now has launched an attack on my work. I will leave aside the […]

‘Spontaneous’ Street Violence Is Well Organized, Pursuing a Radical Agenda

Add up everything we know about the ongoing violence in America’s cities, and you get a troubling picture. It has nothing to do with law-abiding, peaceful demonstrations in favor of civil rights and police reform. No, the violence that exploits these well-intentioned activities—which often occurs after night falls and demonstrations have ended—is part of an […]

10 Counties With Most COVID-19 Deaths Account for 22% of Fatalities but 11% of Population

As Heritage Foundation researchers have demonstrated throughout the pandemic, the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. has been heavily concentrated in a small number of states—and among a small number of counties within those states. Heritage’s interactive graphic allows individuals to see more detail on these concentrations of COVID-19 among the counties with the most deaths as well as those with the fewest. For instance, […]

Twitter’s Censorship of the New York Post Is Un-American

Less than three weeks from a presidential election, perhaps the most vital platform for political news and debate, Twitter, has locked down the accounts of a presidential candidate’s press secretary and of his official campaign, among others, at the behest of activists pretending to be journalists. This is unsurprising to anyone who has been paying attention. […]

The Mob Goes After Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln’s statues dot the landscape for a reason that is well-understood: He is a symbol of wisdom, decency, sacrifice, and perseverance in defeating slavery and liberating millions of black Americans. Antifa rioters knocked down his statue in Portland during a self-proclaimed “Day of Rage” on the eve of Columbus Day. They also trashed the […]

Here We Go Again: Cuomo, de Blasio Blame Jews for Jump in COVID-19 Cases

Each year during the Jewish religious festival of Sukkot, New York City shuts down Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights to allow thousands of local residents the opportunity to safely celebrate in dance and song. But this past week—under the guise of fighting COVID-19—New York City attempted to shut down this religious gathering by using physical […]

California’s Governor Mocked Me, but I Received Ballot 8 Years After Moving

As you undoubtedly have heard on television, the internet, and social media, the right to vote is fundamental to the American system. But as we near Election Day, it’s important to remember that the right to vote means little if our officials can’t maintain election integrity. Fraudulent votes undermine our electoral system and take rightful […]

‘Natural Inheritor of Justice Scalia’s Legacy,’ Conservatives Say of Barrett

The first day of confirmation hearings for federal appeals court Judge Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court showed clearly how conservative women are treated differently than their liberal counterparts, Sen. Marsha Blackburn said Monday. “You know there is a double standard when it comes to how the left and the media treat conservative women, […]
