A marked difference in the Trump administration’s handling of the recent Austin, Texas, bombings was the refusal by federal law enforcement to leap to conclusions that would have driven a partisan, political agenda. As we’ve seen in the past, the Fort Hood ambush was inaccurately labeled as workplace violence. The Orlando nightclub attack was first characterized […]
A majority of teachers say they believe they are protected from shooters entering their school, according to a recent poll. The Gallup poll found that 60 percent of teachers agreed their school is somewhat protected or very protected. Gallup, however, chose to look at the down side with a headline reading: “Four in 10 Teachers Say Their […]
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt may be just a lawyer, but so far he has done more to bring sound science to the EPA than any scientist ever affiliated with the agency. And, apparently, he’s just getting started. Since taking the reins at the EPA and despite not having a full complement of presidential […]
Kids converged on D.C. over the weekend to protest school shootings and guns, yet the most effective policy solutions went unmentioned. Jarrett Stepman, who went to the march, joins us to share his observations and discuss why students aren’t really the ones driving this movement. Plus, we discuss President Donald Trump’s new actions against Russia, […]
Students at a California high school plan to respond to the national movement of school walkouts to push for new gun controls with a pro-life walkout of their own. They decided to do so after one of their teachers was placed on leave for questioning whether some protests were treated more favorably than others. Using the hashtag […]
Warning: This video contains profanity. Thousands of people gathered Saturday in Washington, D.C., and around the nation for anti-gun rallies spurred by the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. But not everyone from the Parkland community supports the anti-gun rhetoric on display at the March for Our Lives […]
Mary Ann Mendoza was enraged that the illegal immigrant who killed her son—police Sgt. Brandon Mendoza—wasn’t deported for a crime committed in Colorado two decades earlier. “They are not sanctuary cities, they are outlaw cities,” @SenTomCotton said. Though she wrote a letter to President Barack Obama after her son’s death in 2014 expressing her concern, she found […]
When campaigning in 2016, President Donald Trump often noted how America was trailing other countries, and vowed to reverse that. On Monday, the president highlighted two specific issues: criminal punishment for drug dealers and the price of prescription medicines. “Every day, 116 Americans die from an opioid-related overdose,” @POTUS says. “This scourge of drug addiction […]
In a decision that has gotten almost no media attention, six states led by Texas have won another round against the Obama administration implementation of Obamacare. Judge Reed O’Connor, a federal judge in Texas, threw out the Obama administration’s imposition of a federal fee or tax on states as a condition of continuing to receive […]
In the wake of the tragic murder of 17 innocent students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, students, educators, politicians, and activists are searching for solutions to prevent future school shootings. As emotions morph from grief to anger to resolve, it is vitally important to supply facts so that policymakers […]
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has signed into law a bill banning so-called “free speech zones” at public universities and allowing students and speakers to sue the schools for violating their First Amendment rights. Free speech zones are limited areas, sometimes only fractions of a campus, where students may express themselves freely. Critics argue that an […]
Sex “reassignment” doesn’t work. It’s impossible to “reassign” someone’s sex physically, and attempting to do so doesn’t produce good outcomes psychosocially. As I demonstrate in my book, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment,” the medical evidence suggests that sex reassignment does not adequately address the psychosocial difficulties faced by people who identify as […]
In this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” we break down Ambassador Nikki Haley clapping back at the Palestinian leader who told her to “shut up.” Bumble, the popular dating app, is encouraging its users to report anyone with a gun in their photos. Bethany Mandel appeared on “Fox & Friends” to discuss why as a […]
The Heritage Foundation’s James Carafano appeared on Fox News early Friday to discuss with anchor Heather Childers the announcement that President Donald Trump will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in May. Watch the video or read this lightly edited transcript of that conversation. Heather Childers: Well, here now to react, senior […]
Police cars surrounded my high school as I walked fast across the street to the science building. Eyes were glancing in many directions. The slight panic—bordering on hysteria—was obvious. Hundreds of students stayed home, but I did not. Why? Because the threat was safely locked away in jail. Four months before the school shooting in […]
