My Wife's Black Anesthesiologist Wasn't an Affirmative Action Hire

From the Right / Dennis Prager /

Two weeks ago, my wife, Susan, underwent major surgery for breast cancer. Happily, the cancer was caught so early (via routine mammogram) that it was barely a Stage 1 cancer. The surgeon was confident that the cancer was completely eradicated.

My wife had both the oncological surgery and the breast reconstruction at the same time at a private ...Read more

Moscow Massacre: Could It Happen Here?

From the Right / Cal Thomas /

A mass shooting at a concert hall in Moscow killed more than 130 people. With many others seriously or gravely wounded the number of dead is likely to rise.

The Islamic state released a statement claiming “credit” for the incident. Eleven politics/fromtheright/calthomas/s-3176825">Read more

The Biden Administration Takes a Swipe at Credit Card Industry

From the Right / Stephen Moore /

The Biden administration regulators see a monopoly boogeyman behind the curtain of nearly every business merger and acquisition -- from airlines to cellphones to chicken producers.

Now they're trying to stop Capital One from acquiring the credit card company Discover.

That's a bizarre cease-and-desist order, because this acquisition by Capital...Read more

For Release Monday, March 25, 2024

From the Right / Rich Lowry /

One of Joe Biden's notable digressions when getting deposed by Special Counsel Robert Hur was about driving his beloved 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible.

Which wasn't surprising -- the president genuinely loves his car. And why not? It's a thing of beauty and, for its time, was a splendid feat of engineering.

A paradox of the Biden's ...Read more

Every Terrible, Evil Thing Happening In America Is Courtesy of China, Obama and Satan! Here's How They're Doing It!

From the Right / Wayne Allyn Root /

Our country is on the verge of so many bad things. A "communist color revolution" is going on right now, complete with censorship, weaponization of government against our own citizens, witch hunts and "communist show trials" (see President Donald Trump and Jan. 6 prisoners/hostages).

Soon we could face revolution, anarchy, civil war, societal ...Read more

Vice President J.D. Vance

From the Right / Josh Hammer /

Donald Trump has locked up the necessary delegates for the Republican presidential nomination, which means it's time for every political junkie's favorite quadrennial game: Veepstakes!

Every four years, commentators, political consultants and elected officials all chime in with their takes on who a presidential candidate's running mate should...Read more

Yes, Israel Is Now a Partisan Issue

From the Right / David Harsanyi /

"To make Israel a partisan issue only hurts Israel and the US-Israeli relationship," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had the temerity to say only days after demanding the Jewish state's duly elected government be toppled.

Schumer was responding to Donald Trump's hyperbolic contention that Jews who vote for Democrats "hate Israel" and their...Read more

You Do Not Have to Cling to the World. You Can Cling to Christ.

From the Right / Erick Erickson /

The world is headed into Holy Week, the holiest of times for the world's more than 2 billion Christians. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth entered Jerusalem as a king on Palm Sunday; was tortured, crucified, killed and buried on Friday; and rose again on Easter Sunday. It is one of the defining weeks in human history. As we head there, ...Read more

Media Go AWOL on Holding the Bidens Accountable!

From the Right / Tim Graham /

For the first two years of Joe Biden's presidency, the partisan Democrats of our "legacy media" treated the Pelosi-Picked Panel on Jan. 6 as a dominant story, worthy of hundreds of hours of television coverage, both live coverage of the hearings and breathless cycles of previews and reviews. Once Republicans took over the House, would we have ...Read more

The Electric Car Fiasco

From the Right / Michael Barone /

Donald Trump's anodyne if overexcited comment that the U.S. auto industry would face a "bloodbath" if he's not elected and doesn't impose 50% or 100% tariffs on cars produced predictable results.

"Don't outsmart yourself," Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) posted, and Joe Biden's campaign promptly charged Trump with promising a "bloodbath" if he ...Read more

A Third Party Is the Coward's Way Out

From the Right / Mona Charen /

During the all-too-brief one-on-one contest between Nikki Haley and Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, there was a good deal of analysis declaring it the last stand of the Reaganite vision for the GOP versus the MAGA takeover. That was the wishiest of wishful thinking -- and not just because such large segments of ...Read more

The Absurd Four-Day Workweek

From the Right / Rich Lowry /

Karl Marx would be proud. Bernie Sanders has proposed taking another step toward the philosopher's envisioned utopia by proposing to mandate a four-day workweek.

Marx wrote how in communist society, workers would be liberated to "hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, raise cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have in ...Read more

Some Call It Influence Peddling, Others Call It the 'Biden Lift'

From the Right / Debra Saunders /

WASHINGTON -- "This is the best guy they can get?" Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., asked rhetorically at a House Oversight Committee hearing Wednesday to look into President Joe Biden's role in his family's alleged influence peddling.

The "guy" was Jason Galanis, a witness, invited by Republicans, who testified remotely from a Alabama prison ...Read more

Can Congress Ban TikTok?

"Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech."

--First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

When James Madison set about to draft the Bill of Rights -- the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution -- he was articulating what lawyers and philosophers and judges call "negative rights." A positive right grants a ...Read more

Weaving Good News Into the Fabric of Society

When you turn on the news or take a ride in your car and listen to the radio, do you ever pause to think, "Where's all of the good news?" It seems nearly impossible today to find any good stories that lift the spirit, stories that remind you there is still good in humanity and that the human condition isn't uniquely bad. If an alien ever ...Read more

US Steel-Nippon Steel: A Global Deal for American Prosperity

The Pennsylvania-based U.S. Steel company recently agreed to be purchased by the Tokyo-headquartered publicly traded company Nippon Steel. This deal makes sense to economists. It will encourage other foreign companies to invest in the U.S., creating wealth and new job opportunities, and further shoring up the U.S. economy, particularly amid ...Read more

The West's Descent Into Madness

From the Right / Laura Hollis /

If it is possible to watch a society -- an entire civilization -- go insane, we are watching that phenomenon in real time. Across all forms of media, the headlines bring fresh evidence daily.

Western civilization -- that aggregation of cultural, political, social and religious traditions that has formed the basis for European societies and ...Read more

Abortion and the GOP

From the Right / Cal Thomas /

The Biden administration and Democrats generally are under water in polling that has consistently shown voters are displeased with their performance on the economy, foreign policy and virtually everything else except one issue: abortion.

The president and Democrats up for re-election in Congress believe they can ride this single issue to ...Read more

Fixing US Defense Procurement: A Texas Independent Helicopter Example

From the Right / Austin Bay /

America's defense industrial base just received a bad report card -- and given recent U.S. defense industry foul-ups, several failing grades are well deserved.

The Ronald Reagan Institute, a think tank and foundation, issues a yearly report card evaluating what it calls the National Security Innovation Base (NSIB).

Innovation means both ...Read more

Why I'm Co-Hosting a Trump Fundraiser

From the Right / Ben Shapiro /

Unsurprisingly to those who follow this space, I plan to vote for Donald Trump in November. Not just that. This week, I'm co-hosting a fundraiser for him.

So, how precisely did a conservative who didn't vote for president in 2016 and didn't support Donald Trump during the Republican primaries become a Trump donor? The answer is obvious: ...Read more
